CITY NOTICES.

When THE SUMMER Of Youth is slowly
wasting away in the nightfall of age, and the
shadows of the past years grow deeper and life
wears to its close, it is pleasant to look back
through the mist of time upon the sorrows and
the happiness of our earlier years. If we have
a home 10 shelter and hearts to rejoice with
us, and our friends have been gathered to-
gether around our friendship. there the rough
places of our wayfaring will have been worn
and smooihed away in the twilight of life,
while the many sports we have passed through
will grow brighter and more beautiful. Happy,
indeed, are they whose intercourse with the
world has not changed their kind and chaTit-
able feelings, nor broken the cords of friend
ship, which are life's beauties down to the
evening of old age. And happy is he who
fosters the idea that there is nothing purer
than honesty nothing sweeter than charity
nothing warmer than love nothing richer
than wisdom; nothing brighter than virtue,
and nature adds, if you want good and neat
fitting boot or shoe, go to G. Flanigen's, Sixth
and Market streets, for them, which is about
right.
Extract from Private Letter from Hawaii, Sandwich
Islands.
Although the eruption is not so
violent now, the volcano is a fearful sight to
behold. The rivers of lava still flow, and the
smoke from the crater aseends in awful ma
iesty. During this volcanic upheaval il has
been very sickly here. A peculiar sort of low
malarious fever, which has grown out of the
foul, condensed vapors of the volcano, has
prevailed to an alarming extent, and at one
time 1t was feared it would depopulate the
island. But fortunately, sea captain (call.
ing here for supplies) distributed Plantation
Bitters to the suffering, and quick and
thorough cures were the result. The news
spread like wild-ire. Messrs. Ching Takin &
Co., Commission Merchants, had these Btters
for sale, In a short time their office was be-
sieged, and their supply exhausted. A steamer
was dispatched to San Francisco by order of
the Hospital Department, and a new and en-
ormous supply obtained as soon as possible
From that moment the scourge was stayed
\ Not another fatal case occurred, and the cpl
demic has now entirely disappeared.
Is this wonderful remedy known in your city?
