STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS.

NOTHING THAT Is NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial, and restorative in its nature, enters
into the composition of H0STETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This popular preparation con-
tains mineral of any kind, de adly botanical
element no fierce excitant; but ii is a combination
of the extracts of balsamic herbs and plants, with
the purest and mildest of all difusive stimulants.
As a General Tonic, H0STETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced wit
messed before they can be fully appreciated. In
cases of Constitutional Weakness Premature Decay
and Debility and Decrepitude arising from Old
Age, it exercises an electric influence. In the con
valescenu stages of all diseases it operates de
lightfu inyigorant. When the powers Of nature
relaxed it operates TO reinforce and reestablish
them.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated ard the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tome, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA
and in less confirmed forms of INDIGESTION Act
ing gentle and painless aperient, AZ well as
upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Con
stipation superinduced by irregular action Of the
digestive secretive organs
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks Lowness of Spirits and Fits of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Biters. The
testimony on this point is most conclusive and from
both sexes.
The agony of BILIOUS COLTC is Immediately
assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by
occasionally resorting it, the return of the com
plant may be prevented
Last, though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
sTIMULANT, being manufactured from sound and
innoeuous materials, and entirely free from the
acid elements present more less in all the ordi
nary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been so universally, and,
it may be truly added deservedly popular with the
intelligent portion of the community, as HOSTEL
TER'S BITTERS.

A FIRE BRAND IN THE MAGAZINE 1t has
been the hobby of the milk and water Union
sheets of this coast, since the passage by
Congress of the Constitutional Amendments,
to prove that they were just what " my poll
cy'' demanded, and claimed that Congress
had yielded, and all would now be mild rs a
May morning. Just as they had all fallen
back in their easy chairs, smoothed their
wrinkled visages, and were contemplating
the fruits of their first victory since Bull
Run, comes an edict from Moses, denounc-
ing the whole thing as Radical triumph,
and hence to be opposed by the faithful.
Now we opine that newspaper governed
by any principle of decency would find hard
work to back down but we prophesy that
these renegades and Democrats will have nc
trouble in the premises. They won't even
so much as say they were joking; but go on
now and oppose the adoption of the amend
ments they have heretofore endorsed, just a:
though they had been all the time in con
sistent opposition to them. Of such is the
kingdom of Beelzebub.

The Fourth at Horsetown'

The crowd assembled for the celebration OF
tho dav at Horsetown fully justified the
liberal preparations made by the citizens
there for the reception of patriotic hearts
bent upon appropriately passing the holiday.
Almost every private family in the village
had made preparations to entertain friends
and strangers. and all were made welcome
with heartiness and good will that might
properly be emulated in the future, but can
not be excelled James Daily kept open
house during the day, and feasted every hun
gry soul he could fnd We specify him as
a sample only, and as one whose facilities
admitted of extending hospitality on grand
er scale than others. While Mr.. Daily had
most room, others gave all they had, and of
course could do no more.
At a quarter to II, NJ, the procession,
composed of citizens and the Fenian Broth
erhood, and marshaled by Messrs. Simpson
and Dixon, assisted by Sergeant Snyder,
formed at Spencer's Hall, and thence march
ed to Washington Square, about half mile
distant, preceded by the Shasta Brass Band,
where the exercises were opened by DIR.
Shurtleff, President of the Day. making a
few appropriate remarks, which were well
received. When the Doctor had resumed his
chair, Miss Kate Sweeney representing the
ladies of Horsetown and vicinity, presented
Washington Circle, F. B., an American and
an Irish flag. The presentation speech was
good and we'll delivered by the fair young
lady, and replied to by Mr.. Connolly in
very happy and eloquent speech of some
length, and was received with much applause
and enthusiasm. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence was read we'll and impressively by
Mr. Leonard Coulter. The Grafton of the
Day was delivered by J. S. Follansbee, Esq,
and Notwithstanding the great difficulty of
SAYING anything original on such an occasion,
Mr.. Follansbee acquitted himself with credit
The oration occupied some forty minutes in
its delivery, and was all that the gentleman's
most ardent friends could desire. The pro-
cession was then eformed and marched
back to Spencer's Hall, where it was dis
persed. The march to and from the grounds,
and the exercises there, consumed three
hours.
Dancing commenced at little after nine
o'clock, and was continued until old Sol su-
perceded the necessity for burning fluids to
light the hall.
1t was happy day. Drunkenness con-
stituted no part of the programme, nor did
any exist; so while all enjoyed themselves
none were brutalized.

PoTosI MINE-This mine has demonstrated
tie fact that perseverance will win. When
the lode was first opened rock that was de-
sulphurized by the elements was worked with
very imperfect machinery, and good returns
were had-sixty to sixty five dollars per tun
being about the average. But as they got
in, trouble was found in making it pay New
machinery was obtained. the modern i'm
provements all put in, and the work began
with high hopes. Ten tuns of rock were
crushed and run through. A clean up show.
ed that everything had run through sure
enough-even the quicksilver was missing.
Though there was general falling of under
jaws and lips at this result, there was no
failure in confidence in the mine The only
question was how to save the gold in the rock
Under these circumstances they sent to
Grass Valley and procured the services of a
practical mill man, who had had experience
there, where the rock very much resembles
the Potosi. Under this gentleman's admin
istration work has commenced, and a run OF
about twelve tuns of rock made with the
pleasant result of 500 per tun. This is truly
encouraging. 1t is more, it is invigoratiHg,
and begins new era in our mining history.
Up to this time our quartz mining has been
conducted by men who were novices in the
business, and the case in hand furnishes
abundant testimony that practical knowledge
and long experience are worth something.
Let us have more of it. 1t will pay.

The solid good sense conveyed in the above
old saw is reason enough why Governor
Blasdel should convene an extra session OF
the Legislatute when he receives certified
copy Of the Congressional resolutions sub
mitting the proposed amendments OF the
Constitution bnt the fact that the Alta,
the Call. the Examiner, the Virginia Union
and other papers which are in the interest
of the rebels are savagely attacking the pro-
position in advance, is enough to convince
any sound and consistent loyalist that they
expect to gain something by delay, and that
| therefore the Extra session should be called
| by the Executives without hesitation. Our
last Legislature was composed, with but few
exceptions, of honest, patriotic men, and we
are sure that enough of that number to form
| a quorum could be convened with but a COM
paratively trifling expense to the State
The Constitution of Nevada promises the
States first fealty to the general govern
ment. and certainly there is no possible state
of affairs except that Of actual war, which
could demand the prompt and favorable ac-
tion of our Legislature for the good of the
whole nation so much as the emergency, to
meet which, those Constitutional amend
ments were devised We have talked with
several of the members of the Legislature
and they all seem to agree that it is the best
policy that an Extra session should be held
and we have no doubt that they express the
sense of majority of the Senators and As
semblymen when they promise that there
should be no charge against the State for
mileage and per diem. We feel assured that
his Excelleney will act promptly in this
matter, and, in accordance with the wish of
majority of the Unionists of this State,

CoRREcrIoN.-In our item of last week
detailing the accident to Mr. Morette's little
boy, we stated that the boy was turning a
wheel on the axletree when there was no nut
to keep it in its place. Mr.. Hughes, feeling
that charge of carelessness might be made
against him under such statement, desires
US to say that the nut was on, and that the
accident occurred because of the boy turning
the wheel backward instead of forward. The
evolution of the wheel thus turned run the
nut off, Of course no blame attaches to any
one in such o case.

GENERAL JAMES H. LANE, the political and
military pet of loyalty i'll Kansas, committed
suicide on the first of July, at or near his
home. The one great mistake of his life
voting to sustain "my poliey'-was no

How TO DO IT.-The Radical subjects, with
characteristic zeal, are. just now engaged in
demolishing William Ii. Seward reputation
as statesman, and are evidently bent on
extinguishing him. To attain this desir-
able object, let the likeness of Seward be
engraved, and printed on the back of all the
one cent postage stamps. This will enable
each radical fellow to have lick at him.
Lake County Democrat.
We like this suggestion, because we think
it eminently proper that the stamps should
bear the likeness of the man they so closely
resemble in three ways. First, because they
represent next to nothing; secondly, because
they have signally failed to answer the pur-
pose for which they were intended and
thirdly, because they are being retired as
fast as possible. Put A. j. on their backs
and the resemblance is complete. .-Downe-
