FORT BRIDGER.

Col. Bridger, tke proprietor of Fort
Bridger," SO famous in connection with the
history of the Mormon disturbances, settled
in the vicinity of Salt Lake in 1885, and
has since greatly distinguished himself as
hunter, .trapper, trader, and guide. In an
interview with Gov. Cumming, on the ab-
vance of the army to Utah, he stated to him,
that some years since, while pursuing the
buffalo, he had discovered an immense rock
of pure crystal, through which the suns rays S
were reflected with all the gorgeousness of
the most magnificent rainbow, but that he
had lost the place, and had never been able
to rediscover it. Hoefand's German Bitters,
which can be discovered in the store of any
druggist or dealer in medicine, will positive
~ care Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Loss of
Appetite, &C., and will almost restore to the
old all the yigor of their youthful days.
