MUTILATED CUhh6NOx.
In this as we'll as other we'll regulated
communities, that class Of United States
currency commonly known as "green-
backs" like tho generality of paper
money, by long use and frequent han
ding, becomes moro or less worn, torn
and otherwise d%ilspidated. The ma
jority of people, however, who see a
badly worn or mutilated %greenback have
not any definite idea as to how 1t is
finally disposed Of. When they happen
to have one in their possession which
they cannot easily pass or otherwise
dispose of, by reason of its being so
badly dilapidated that it is likely to
become o loss on their hands, they take
1t to the P~ostofice and offer it in the
purchase of postage stamps, 10 the full
confidence that the Postmaster is OBJ
liged to take it thus offered, whether he
will or no, and for the full valuation,
as set forth on its face. 10 order to
post such Of our numerous readers as
REQUIRE it, In this respect, we publish
the following instructions of the Post
Office Department and the rules OF the
Treasury Department on the subject OF
the redemption of mutilated Treasury
notes and fractional currency, a copy
of which is kindly furnished US by Post
master Warner, of Virginia city:
First-Mutilated notes that have been
torn, no matter how much, but Of which
it is evident that all the fragments are
returned-or defaced, no matter how
badly, but certainly, satisfactorily gen.
| uiue-will be redeemed at their full
face value on presentation.
Sixth-Until further orders, mutilated
notes and fragments will be redeemed
only at the Treasury Of the United
States, at Washington, whittier they
can be sent, addressed to the "7featursr
of the United States" A draft on the
| Assistant Treasurer at New York for
the amount allowed will be returned by
mail to the address Of the person remit
ting the same.
These rules, promulgated on the 18th
of MAY, 1859, for the redemption OF
mutilated United States Notes, are not
intended to apply to such notes OF
which the abrasion or loss of substance
from the corners or edges does not ex-
coed on%e-twentieth of their original pro-
portions. Such are not understood to
! to mutilated notes within those rules.
They are regarded as entire notes, and
when of the issue known as Demand
Notes are receivable for customs duties.

WE are informed that the California
Bank has applied for . patent Tor q
streak Of ground 1900 feet in length oy
400 feet in width, commencing at the
old walters Defes: mine and running
south. The California Bank is ut pres.
emit the State Of Nevada-that is, all
but Q potato patch near Steamboat
Springs. They are now after the potato
patch.-EntsPri,s.
This snser at the Bank Of Californis
certainly comes with . bad grace ; and
10 entirely unmeritsd by that institution.
The Bank has been and il a very useful
and beneficial institution to the BUSH
ness people Of the State. When the
State was born las poor as infant ever
came into the world) who but the Bank
Of California was able and liberal
enough to loan her money to the extent
of several hundreds Of thousand Of dol
lars to commence life and business
on? At that time, too, every Bar
and money Spectator asked three and
four Per cent. per month interest, and
responsible people could hardly obtain
money ever then. Responsible business
men have always been able to obtain
loans, by giving acceptable security, at
the counter Of the Bank. By establishing
the California Bank Agency here, large
amounts Of money have been introduced
into the channels Of trade the eItor-
tionste rates Of interest which the small
Banks then existing were in the habit
Of charging, have been reduced to one
half. Here, then, are two distinct and
valuable benefits which the Bank Of
California has conferred upon the peo-
pie of the State Of Nevada and the coun-
ty Of Storey. True, the Bank Agent,
Mr.. Sharon, has in connection with
several enterprisiug gentlemen who are
otherwise connected with our mining
interests, applied to the Government
for Patents for some mining ground
in At least two loealities-one
IL out At American Flat, and the
other 10 on the west Of the DEVILS Gate
toll-house-and as the premises had
been abandoned for the last three or
four years, ninety-nine out of every
hundred Of the original locators being
too poor to develop them, We confess
that We for one feel pleased to see tina,
somebody, or some corporation with
money and means, 10 sndeavoring &c
turn these old abandoned shafts, tun'
usls, eroppings, and coyote holes to
some advantage, benefit, and trying "a
develop the country for the more mines
are opened, the moro money is disbursed
among our isborsrs, miners, and bust
ssss men. We are glad to see men in
our midst who have the energy and the
means 70 "jump" the hundreds OF old
abaadonsd claims-abandonsd because
considered wildcat" We hope the
Bank Of California will 90 ahead in Its
operations Of dsvsloping-snd II the
owner OF the "potato patch near
Steamboat Springs" has become
too lasy or too poor to produce q crop,
We hope the Bank win jump that, too,
and put on sufficient men aud means
to make the soil yield up its treasure
Of "spuds" or silver bricks. There
aia't any s~iik-stockins, eambrie-hand-
ksrchlsf and eologne-waser gentry con-
nse.sd with this Bank; a. its operations
are plata and responsible directly among

Cheap Bee Feeder.

A CORRESPONDENT of the american Bee
Journal gives the following plan for max
ing bee feeder:
Let me tell the readers of the Bee Jour-
nal what kind of bee feeder use, and how
made.
Take common gill glass, or half pint
measure, fill it with honey or sugar sirup,
draw over it piece of coarse muslin, and
secure it by a small india rubber band.
Then open one of the holes in the honey
board, and invert the glass or tumbler over
it. The bees will suck out its contents at
their leisure Being alright, the honey
or strip will not pass down quicker than
the bees require When used on a nucleus
hive, invert tin cup or small earthen pot
over it, to keep away flies, wasps ana
bees. @ @4
A larger tumbler may be used when we
wish to give the bees larger supply OF
food, to serve in case of absence.
Such feeder costs only trif1e, and Is
within the reach of all.
Another correspondent of the same jour-
nal gives the following directions;
A good bee feeder can be made OF any
bottle, of any size from two ounces to two
pounds.
But one having short wide neck and a
short dumpy body, with square or nearly
square shoulder is the best. To use, fill
up with honey, sugar sirup or water; tie a
piece of fine cotton cloth over the mouth,
and place the neck of the bottle in hole
over the cluster of bees.
But one that prefer is made of glass
self-sealing fruit jar-of the Hero, or any
other selfsealing screw top pattern. La
the center of the top punch fifteen or TWEEN
ty holes. Over the holes solder piece OF
fine perforated tin, such as is used in
strainers Around the edge of the top,
outside, have rim of tin of half an inch
wide soldered, to keep the feeder from
tutching the honey board. To use, fill up
with honey, sugar sirup, or water; screw
on the top, and place it over hole in the
honey board over the cluster of bees.
Liquid honey or sweetened water, to
stimulate bees in the spring or summer
can be given diluted, without any danger
of its turning into vinegar in the hottest
weather; and month or two's supply OF
water can be given at once. 1t being air.
tight, the water will always be good; and
those who water their bees in the winter,
will find this useful contrivance.
Bees short Of supplies in winter feed
from the above as quietly, and with nc
more excitement than if the supply came
in the natural way.

We are not Cast Iron!

Cast iron undergoes marked changes under the
alternate action of heat and cold and the human
body is not cast iron. On the contrary, it is a
combination of delicate tissues and fbres, which
are exquisitely sensitive to atmospheric changes,
and, unless protected against sudden and violent
variations of temperature by wise precautions,
are sure to be disastrously affected by them.
at this season the difference between the tenn
perature of night and day is greater than at any
other period of the year, and the stomach, the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system are apt
to receive violent shocks from these changes, re
sulting in Indigestion, bilious attacks, debility,
low nervous fever, fever and ague, remittent
fever, &c. Sustain and reinforce these organs,
therefore, with the purest and most potent of all
vegetable tonics and Alternatives, viz: HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS. The effect of this
matchless inygorant is to brace up the whole vital
organization, and regulate its action. Useful at
all seasons as a means of promoting perfect diges-
ton, an even and natural flow of bile, and healthy
condition of the bowels and the skin, it is ,es-
pecially necessary in the Fall when the complaints
arising from checked perspiration SO common.
1t is found by those who in the habit of using
this agreeable and unequaed tonic, that it SO
strengthens and fortifes the body as to render it
proof against the morbid influences which infect
the air during the prevalence of epidemics.

Root Pruning Trees.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Florist and
Pom0IOgist says that artizan gardeners who
generally have their plots of ground in
first-rate condition, find that their pear
and apple trees make great quantity of
wood in the shape of strong. luxuriant
shoots their trees are the picture of good
health, but they have not much fruit. If
they buy a tree, say three years old, the
shoots are usually very much shortened,
when planted and under ordinary circum-
stances it will put out vigorous branches
the ensuing summer. If, on the other
hand, the head of the tree has not been cut
1t will be very probable that instead of,
making shoots, flower buds viii be formed
the first year The owner may prune
and prune again his vigorous trees by cut
ting out branches in the autumn, but this
only increases the evil. More roots have
been formed during the summer, and these
will enable the shoots to push with double
vigor next year. Let him observe that
the tree which he bought had its roots cut
or mutilated in the taking; then let him
cut through the roots of his strong grow
ing tree, stopping the channels through
which the nutriment is supplied to the
branches, and he will find that instead of
leaves he will get fruit and in lieu of a
large, struggling head, which overshadows
his garden, and interferes sadly with his
vegetables and flowers, he viii have COM

Premature Decay.

Thousands go annually into premature graves
because they neglect to preserve that inestimable
blessing-good health. Sufferers from Liver Com
ments, your disease will take its inevitable
and end your days on earth, perhaps suddenly,
unless you take the means to prevent it. But
beware of false methods and use only sure
protection against the cause of these diseases, as
well as the only absolute remedy for them. For
tify yourselves at once by course of Mishler's
Herb Bitters, and thus render your constitution
and physique invulnerabe to the attacks of cpl
demic disorders and the ordinary complaints
which prevail in every locality. The most distin-
guished physicians of the present day use it in
their practice, and positively declare that the
whole science of medicine possesses no remedy
that is half so efcacous for diseases arising from
a disordered Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Intestines,
&C., as Mishler's Herb Bitters. Sold by all drug
gists and dealers. DR.. s. B. Hartman q Co.,

Educating the Horse.

THERE is a good deal of what may be
termed human nature about the horse, that
is, a susceptibility to improve by educa-
ton. All domestic animals possess this,
in certain degree, but the horse is more
than commonly endowed in this respect.
If left to himself however, or but indiffer-
emily taught when young, the horse, like
the neglected BOY, will grow up with an
uncouth carriage, and though a serviceable
drudge, will fail to give pleasure to those
who may have the management OF
him. A correspondent of the German
town Telegraph suggests plan of treat
ment for colts which seems to embody
the essentials of a suitable education for
this important portion Of farm stock. He
says "The outline of my plan may be
thus given AS soon as the colt is wean-
ed, he should have good feed, and be han
died every day if possible he should be
coaxed rather than made by force to do
ANYTHING. Never use switch or the end
of halter strap Be firm, but not over
bearing; it will be found better to over
look the fault, than to attempt and fail to
correct it. Never lose your temper; for
the moment you do so, you at the same
time lose the advantage which you should
always have over him.
During the winter, the colt should
stand haltered the greater portion of the
time, either in his stable or out in the open
air-the later for at least a portion of
every day; use the currycomb and brush
freely Remember you are forming the
future horse, and care now taken in his
appearance or character is by no means
lost. BY the time he is year old, he
should allow you to place light articles on
his back without any resistance, and
should be taught not to be afraid of straps
hanging loose either about the body or
heels. This education should be repeated
during the second winter, and by the time
he is two years old, he will quietly permit
himself to be harnessed up alongside of a
quiet horse (his mother if possible) and
driven about During the operation OF
halter breaking, great care should be
taken to always make him walk fast-fast
walking should be made part of his edu-
cation, and he will never forget it during
his after life. | know of no colt which
may not be made good walker if proper
ly trained when young; but this is fast
time, and walking is too slow to keep up
with it"-Raral Neao Yorker.
