To LOVERS OF THE DEAUTIFUL.-Our
opinion is, and we believe it is shared by
the generality of people, that when any
beautiful thing can be purchased for a
very small sum of money, persons Of
good taste are anxious to become pur-
chasers of it. Such a desire is exceed
ingly commendable. and we are pleased
10 notice the fact that it is often expressed
by many residents of this place. We
are also pleased TO say that those of our
readers who wish to buy fashionable
Jewelry for great deal less than it is
worth, have an opportunity to do So
All they have TO do is to send one dollar
to E. Adams, No. lo8. North Fourth
street, ST. Louis. describing the article
which they desire. and they will receive
it by return mail. A list of some of
the articles will be found in our paper
to-day. We commend it to the earnest
attention of our readers generally.

District Court.

Ev The April term Of this court will
commence on the / 1th inst. About $50
cases are upon the Calender, including
two or three criminal cases, of no special
importance. The criminal business Of
our Court, as we'll as the civil, has been
much less for the last two years than the
two previous. In April, 1859, the cal
endar ran up to 500 civil cases and 25
criminal. Now out of 100 cases for the
April term, not more than ten are upon
the criminal docket Since March, 1857,
but three persons have been sent to the
penitentiary from this county ; and for
nearly two years back our Jail has been
tenantless, except for day or two
These facts speak well for the general
good behavior of our people. and their
indisposilon to indulge in the expensive
pleasures of litigation.

Heal the Sick.

Diseases of the Bowels and Stomach are al
ways caused by large dcposites of hurtfu mat
ter. left by bad or impure blood in those i'm
portant organs, and the poisonous material in
this Initiated blood, acting on the system, makes
it too weak to throw off this matter by the ma
tural channels, or if any is carried off it is a
very small portion. So arise diarrhpa, dysen-
terry, collie, costivcness, bad breath indigestion,
nausea loss of appetite, belching Of wind off
the stomach, etc. To cure all these :" the blood
is life, and must be perfectly pure and clean,
then YOU cannot be sick. A short use of JUD-
SONS MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS will de-
light you. You will feel with surprise their
mighty power, and be willing to say with the
red men of the west, truly they are the "migh-

EH The good citizens of Fort Dodge
have recently been testing the virtue OF
the Iowa Liquor Law. One Christian
Dimler was arraigned before a Justice,
charged with selling intoxicating drinks,
was found guilty on four counts and

pntt'ean, of that place commends the
movement, and counsels continuance OF
the work until the violators Of the law
are cleaned out phare is fine field for
like exercise in our own place, but no
one Is willing to move in the matter
The law makes il the special duty of all
peace officers to enforce its provisions,
and the Temperance people stand back
expecting 10 see the "fur fly !" but the
officers seem to regard the injunction to
abate the nuisance as so very special,
that they neglect it entirely. We would
efiectionately advise our Sheriff, and his
Deputy, and the Constables in the coun-
