Woman and Her Needs.

Subject by the laws of nature to many physi-
cal atlictions from which man is exempt, woman
is peculiarly entitled to the best efforts of med
ical science in her behalf For majority of the
ailments to which her sex is exclusively liable,
HOSTETTER'S S STOMACH BITTERS are warmly
recommended on the authority of wives, moth
and nurses, who have tested their genial
tonic and regulating properties, and "know
whereof they speak - and also with the sane
ton of able physicians, who have administered
the preparation to their female patients in OBJ
stnate cases of functional arrangements, with
the happieSt results. Almost all female COM
plants OF a special character, are complicated
with mental gloom and dependency, and the
gentle and lasting eXhilarating effects of this
wholesome medicated stimulant adapts admira-
bly, for cases of this complex nature. As a rem
edy for the hysteria and mental hallucinations
which sometimes mark both the earlier and the
later crisis in the life of woman, il has no equal
in the repertory of the healing art, aud as a
means of relieving the nausea and other un-
pleasant feelings which precede maternity, it is
equally cihcacious. Nursing mothers also find
it an admirable inyigorant. 1t is highly salts
factory that preparation which embraces in its
remedial range so many of the complaints COM
mon to both sexes should prove so cminently
beneficial to the weaker one.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LEcTURE.-Miss Melissa Emery, State Deputy
l. o. G. T., lectured at the theatre, Weaver
vile, last Monday evening, to a large and atten-
tive audience AS might be expected temper
ance was the theme. The fair speaker handled
her subject in manner that ELECTED frequent
applause. Particularly did she give her own
sex especial fits for their short comings in the
way of holding aoof from the great temperance
cause and (but tell it not in Gath y for being
partial to occasional toddy on the sly. Miss
Emery talks well perhaps the better expression
would be, that she talks well in public. Does
some cynic sneeringly say that the expression
conveys no compliment, because tuency of
speech is an attribute of her sex? We annihi-
late him by the curt rejondcr that it requires
bruins to talk well. More than this if any such
crusty individual there be, let him not be too
opened-mouthed, otherwise he had better "stick
his head in honey bees nest" The speaker
made number of good points. We look upon
argument of this sort as being altogether one
sided. When intemperance is denounced and
its evils portrayed, the temperance champion
may pause aud pause, challenging a reply, but
there will be none. There are none so brazen-
faced, so destitute of shame or reason as to ad-
vocate or palliate intemperance in the use of
strong drink. Miss Emery is the first and only
female speaker we have heard. Succeeding gen
eratons may view the matter in different light
but are firm in the conviction that for "a wo-
man to occupy the rostrum, stride up and down,
gesticulate with clenched fists threatening to
dash an adversary to pieces, would shock the
men and women of our day. Talking is not
oratory, and the ladies labor at great disad-
vantage in striving to become orators. We had
almost forgotten TO mention that forty odd dol
lars were realized from the inevitable collection
An Italian proverb has it that g the smiles of IA
pretty woman are the tears of the purse, and it
is our opinion that the bewtchug manner in
which Miss Emery said, " the liberal donation
which | know you will make" swelled the
amount materially.

Gold Medal for the Best Sowing Machine
The highest honors ever conferred for Sewing
Machines.

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded as the stand
ard of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is unsurpas the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams it turns its own
hem rs it sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself To see it hem, fell, tuck, braid,
cord, quit aud gather, it seems more like thing
of life than machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of doing every descrip-
tion of sewing that is required in n family and
also for scamsrcsses aud dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in word, are the
most satSjdctorV Sewmg MachmeS IN use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices AS low as other Grst-class ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness Of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which mono are genuine. Every purchaser of
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine. and if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
Illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until you
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines.

SHASTA CoUNTY.-We cory the following from
the Shasta Courier of last week
On Thursday, as Jos. Wilson, of Oak Run, was
travelling along the Red Bluff road near the old
Prairie house, couple of armed highwaymen
stopped him and ordered him to shell out his
money, as they knew he had some with him. ;"
There being no other alternative, Wilson reluct-
antly complied with the command, and handed
over $1,000 in greenbacks, with which he was in
tending to pay for some cattle he had purchased
Some time ago Portugee, who lives on Flat
creek, sent below and procured hog of the
China species, at great expense, for the purpose
of securing a cross of stock. One morning
shortly after the arrival of the imported hog on
Flat creek, its owner went out to milk, and was
astonished at beholding the porker sitting upon
its launches sucking one of the cows. {" Hell p
exclaimed the superstitious Portugee, al sent
below for China hog, but the rascals have sent
me ID China calf, and ! don't want any of
that breed" Hastily snatching down his rifle
he sent bullet into the hogs head and snaked
him OFT of the corral, cursing the bad invest
ment he had made.

THIRTY YEARS

THIRTY YEARS
Have elapsed since the introduction of the PAIN
KILLER to the public, and yet at the present
time it is more popular and commands larger
sale than ever before. lts popularity is not CON
fined to this country alone; all over the world
its beneficial effects in curing the " ills that flesh
is heir to, are acknowledged and appreciated,
and a pain Killer its fame is limited to no
country, sect nor race. 1t needs only to be
known to be priced. Thirty years is certainly
long enough time to prove the efficacy of any
