The passage of the bill to repeal the
Tonure-of-Onic law in the House OF Rep'
resentatives by the decisive vote OF one
hundred and twenty-one to forty-seven has
I: peculiarly, and We trust wholesome sig
niGcance The first striking feature III the

Of its repeal. 1t is the strongest evidence
If their uuwayoriua devotion TO the Con-

In the noxt place, but few Of those who
made themselves conspicuous III the pas
sage and defense OF the law came to its
rescue when as5ailcd. Their opinions OF
its constitutionaIity could hardly have I'M
dorgone SO sudden II change. Evidently
they feared to interfere with the coming

eral GRANT has made the ISSUE with Con

the surrender.
It would seem that the EadIc,.Is Ill elect

out it turns out they got King Stork. He
has issued his commands through Wash

California Wine CTou.

Tie wine crop of California in 1867
amounted to l. 5000 gallons, and that OF
1868, it is estimated, will reach 1000, 600
gallons. The reduction of the United
States tax on grape brandy to 80 cents pei
gallon has favored its manufacture. The
most extensive distillery for grape brandy
IN the State has recently gone into opera
ton at CaIstoga, Eapa county. Grapes
are purchased OF small proprietors at one
cent and quarter per pound. Seven hun
dred tons have thus been consumed this
season.

raised in the neighborhood Of that city,
and sent TO the Northern markets, as fol-

$4,000 barrels potatoes.

The estimated value received for the
above is 1913, 200.
This calculation, it Will be observed,
does not include what has been received
from the sale Of apples, pears, plums, cher
ries, &C., which would probably amount to
twenty-five thousand dollars more.
While much pains have been taken to
make this report full, still the estimate is
regarded as rather under than over the true

returns should encourage us to so forward

becomes a great garden and supplies the
Northern markets with early fruits and

This is now admitted, by the medical pro-
fessiou as a fundamental principal of healing
science 1t is wisely provided by the human
economy that whenever anything is wrong
in the physical system the natural forces Of
the body are brought to bear to expel the
disease. The great aim, therefore, is to
strengthen the natural powers. This has
been kept in view by the skilful compounders
Of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITrERS,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs of the body. The effect OF This
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and the
kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The pa
rent, who is wise enough 10 quit drugging
and try the bitteFs, soon feels as If be had
tuken new lease of lite, aud as he continues
the use Of the article, be is ove1oyed to fnd
the streams Of health coursing through his
frame. 1t is prepared with great care, aud
its component parts are entirely vegetable
1t is free from the objections so often urged
against preparations of the kind As a Mg9-
lcAL AGENT it has no equal while its pleas
ing favor and healthful effects have made it
general fayorite. It is free from all prop
critics calculated to impair the system, and
its operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who have used H0STErTER's
STOMACH BfrTERS attest its virtues and
comforts.
Even those who are in the enjoyment Of
perfect health frequently have need to have
recourse to tonics a. preventives Of disease.
We are never too wen armed against the
assaults Of The ills that aesh is heir to. In
health or sickaess this tonic cannot be taken
regularly without giving vitality aud elias

ever produced in any country. Each and ev
cry part is made by machinery of the NEST
delicate and elaborate construction.
Compared with foreign watches, they pos
sess many advantages. excelling not only in
principle and finish, but still more in their

ton of the prices we submit the following:
