Juniper Berries, by dis.illation, to form fine
gin. Cgbebs exspssted by displacem ent with
spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very
little sugar is used and q small proportion Of
spirit. 1t is more palatable than any now in
use.
Buehu, as prepared by Druggists, is Of s.dark
color. 1t is plant that emts its fragrance the
action Of flame destroys this (its aAtive priaeir
ple), leaving dark and glutinous decoction.-
Mine is the color of ingredients The BuchH in
my preparation predominates the smallest guam
tity of the other Ingredients aye added. to. pre-
vent fermentation; upon inspection, it will b.
found not to be Tinctnre, as made in PharHa-
copGa, nor is it a Syrup--and therefore can be
used in cases where fever or Inflammation exist.
In this, you have the knowledge of the ingrsdi-
ents and mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with trial and
that upon inspection it will meet with your ap-
probation,

BLOOMING YOUNG GIRLS.

Middle aged persons, those at the CRITICAL period,
and the aged grandmother, are all cured by the
use of our English Female Ritters now prescribed
and used by physicians all oyer the country.
If you are troubled with Falling of the Womb,
attended with sense of weight and bearing
down pain in the back and side, and other atten-
dant evils, English Female Bitters will give en-
tire relief
Those at the turn of life, mothers after
confinement, and all others (male or female) who
are convalescents from any protracted or debili-
tating complaint, who gain strength slowly, and
whose digestion is slow and imperfect, will find
these Bitters the very thing their system de-
mands. 1t gives powerful appetite, aids and
assists digestion, arouses the liver, stl enghe
mentally and physically, and fills the whole sys-
TEN with pure crimson bloed coursing through
its channels.

OAKENNoLD, May 9th, 1870.
Mr.. W. HAWKINS in compliance with your re-
quest, state what has been my experience Of the
Wheeler Wilson Sewing machine.
About twelve years ago Il think in the winter
of 1857-5S) bought full-cased Wheeler Will
at head quarters in New York.
This instrument has been in ever since
perhaps as constantly any machine of the sort
ever has been III private family, and has per-
formed every style of work from the lightest to
the heaviest fabrics.
Mrs. Frazier desires me to say that it has given
her great satisfaction it has never in all
that time gotten so out of order or repair that
she could not herself at once restore it to good
working order And now that you have added
all the modern Improvements of the last dozen
years she finds it as complete and as nearly per-
feet as she can imagine such an instrument to be.
Very Respectfully, WIN. FRAZIER.

THE SIBERToN COMPANY. From time imme
mortal it has been settled fact that there never
was, never can be and never will be started an
enterprise, matter what its character, nor
how bright its prospects, but that some may be
found to declare it foregone conclusion that il
can never prove success. Such persons gen
orally have wonderful optical powers. They
can stand off fifty miles and tell you what's Al
the end of that distance, without ever having
been there, with nicer precision and better
understanding of the character and extent of the
thing than those whose knowledge is based upon
personal observation! eve suppose this is one OF
the much spoken of instances in which .'distance
lends enchantment to the view?') This brings
us to what we proposed to say in the first
place. We have been to the iron ore,~banks
of The Siberton Company. We have never heard
any one say as much, but 1T is quite probable it
has been at least thought that these banks are
slightly mythical-that they exist in som body s
Imagination, but not in any of the spurs of North
Mountain eff there is such superabundance of
ore there they reason, 'swhy is the furnace not
kept in operation?' Well, Rome was not built
in "a day. nor huge mountains removed in
that time! and if any one desires to post himself
; as to the amount of work that has been ac-
complished at the Siberton Works, or the ex-
tent of the iron deposits in the neighboring
tains, if he will make a trip up there, Mr.. ST.
bert will take great pleasure in showing him
around, and in explaining what he may not be able
to understand. We haye seen eight or ten of the
ore banks (tram roads run by or to each of them)
and though do not profess to be profoundly
versed in minerals, we think there is ample there
to run the Furnace for indefinite time. So
far as the quality is concerned, if weight be any
indication. we should think it very good Mr..
S. is of opinion that it contains sixty or seventy
per cent. of iron. "All's we'll that ends well.'
