PETITION FOR PARDON. j. J. Owen edi-
tor of the San Jose Mercury, gets off the
following We earnestly hope the prayer of
the petitioner will be granted:
To His ExCELLENcY JEFFERSON DAVIS:
Your petitioner respectfully represents
that for the last six years he has sympathiz
ed with the so called Federal Government in
its rebellion against the Southern Confedera
cy He has repeatedly spoken dlsrespectful
of your Excelency, and insisted that you
ought to be hung for attempting to quel the
insurrection in the Northern States against
the constituted authorities of the Confederacy
Nevertheless, presuming on your well known
clemency and Christian charty-as exhib
tied at Andersonville in permitting so many
of those Yankee rebels to live-now that
your cause has triumphed in California. your
petitioner throws himself upon your generos-
ity and humbly craveth for pardon lin a
horn and asketh that his estate may not be
coniscated.
Aud your petitioner will ever pray, etc.
j. j. OWEN, Ed. Mercury.
The undersigned loyal citizens of the Con-
federacy, cordially recommend the granting
of the above pardon.

WHY WILL YOU DE-

LAYING are sorry that there are
persons who suffer on day by day,
month after month, and year after
year, when their friends and neigh
bors have been cured of the same
malady that afiicts them. Now, it
has been proved by substantial evil
dence that SCOVILL'S BLOOD AND
LIVER SYRUP will cure the worst
cases of Scrofnla, Canker, Rheuma-
tism, Neuralgia, etc. yet still there
are those who neglect this sure and
valuable remedy. To such we say,
try the Syrup and be convinced.

pretence that his father wanted to kill dog,
and ereepinc under the school house drank
nearly the whole of it. He was found yes

pillow he had made of pile of paper, with
his arms folded and his cap placed over his
