Nor SIeNED.-We saw, to day, in posses,
sion of Wells, Fargo e. Co., a five dollar legal
tender note not signed. 1t is strange how
this note could have been issued without the
usual signatures. An examination shows
that these notes are signed by machinery
that one party puts on the number another

the signatures, but this one got through

No Stamps in the State.
OFFICE OF ASSISTANT TREASURER, u. S. !
San Francisco, Oct, IS. 1862. {

EDITOR BULrETIN.-Pursuant to instructions
just received from the Secretary Treasury U S.,
am authorized to receive deposits for Internal
Revenue Stamps. Certificates will be issued in
duplicate, the original Of which must be forwar d.
ed to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at
Washington. accompanied by an order stating
the kind and denomination Of Stamps required.
Certificates will be ready for issue on Tuesday
october Zlst. d. W. CHEEsEMAN,
Assistant Treasurer U. S.
That is to say, no stamps will be sent into the
State until the money is sent after them and
there is no party required by law to send after
them. IL is everybody's business, and the natu-
rll presumption is that nobody will attend to it.
The Law authorizes the Commissioners at Wash
in nIton to sell stamps to collectors, deputy col
lectors, postmasters, stationers or any other per-
sons. Apparently, the only way provided for
such parties to obtain them is via the Circumloca
ton office. Possibly Commissioner Boutwell, in
consideration OF our great distance may yet for
ward the stamps without prepayment and an Or
der, but the instructions which bring out Mr..
Cheeseman's card, give MS room to suppose
that we are to be credited with copper's worth
OF the precious papers without which our deeds
mortg ges. drafts, policies, etc. will soon he val
ueless. and without which the brakes will be
brought down within eleven weeks upon the
wheels OF every business in the State .-BuHttin.

Our TEETH They decay. Hence, un
seem'y mouths, bad breath, imperfect masti
cation. Everybody regrets it. What is
the cause' reply, want of cleanliness A
clean tooth never decays The mouth is a
warm place-98 degrees. Particles OF meat
between the teeth soon decompose. Gums
and teeth must suffer
Perfect cleanliness will preserve the teeth
to old age. How shall it be secnredl Use
quill pick, and rinse the mouth after eatl
ing. Brush md CASTLE soap every morn
ing; he brush with simple water on going
to bed. Besow this lrifling care upon your
precious teeth, you will keep them and
ruin the dentists Neglect it, and you will
be sorry all your lives. Children forget.
Watch them. The first teeth determine the
character of the second set. Give them
eqnal care.
Sugar. acids, saeratus, and hot things are
nothing, when compared with food decom-
posing between the teeth decentralization
may loosen the teeth, long use may wear
them out, but keep them clean and they
never will decay. This advice is worth NOR g
than thousands Of dollars to every boy and
girl.
