The New York Tribune says the reason why
Plantation Bitters are SO generally used is ow-
ing to the fact that they are always made up
to the original standard, and of pure material,
let the price be what twill. The Tribune hits
the nail on the head, for Plantation Bitters are
not only made of pure material, but the peo-
pie are told what they are made of, as the
recipe is wrapped around each bottle. Don't
go home without bottle.

NEARLY every one has valuable papers,
bonds, deeds, mortgages, marriage certificates,
or something of the sort,-the loss or destrue-
tion of which would cause deep regret, aside
from the mere pecuniary detriment entailed
thereby, and but few are possessed of a safe
that affords satisfactory assurance of safety
| against such loss, either by fire or theft This
lack of security has been amply provided for
by the establishment of the Union Safe De-
posit Vaults, at 40 State street, Boston. Par
| ties from many States now rent Safes in these
vaults, which are fire and burglar proof Cir
culars, containing full particulars, can be had

THE REASON WHY.-One of the most mys-
terous murders in the annals of crime CON-
mitted in America was that of the ''taking off,
| of young at Fishlkill, on the Hudson,
| in the fall of 1852 The incidents attendant
upon this murder are given at some length in
the article "a Strange Story" taken from the
columns of the Nswburg Daily Journal of
April 3Oth. In this indeed strange story will,
perhaps, be discovered the reason why t1e
publication of that remarkable revelation, The
Dead Letter, has been cnjoined. But this act
on the part of over jealous friends will fail to
prevent the reissues proposed; and this is to
inform the reading and interested public that
| the romance, as heretofore advertised, and as
originally written, will positively be given in
| the columns of the Illuminated Western
World at an early day. The edition commenc-
| ing the story of The Dead Letter will be ac-
companied with beautiful Cartoon printed in
Oil Colors, of "Opera Bouffs on the Rolling
Deep" 1Ox12 inches in size, in which the artist
has introduced several well-known characters,
