European power, prOfted by the experience OF that
war in the Crimea and the American struggle of
1861. Her navy Is day more formidable in the
weight OF It's metal and the fighting qualities OF its

THE CITIzES's NATIONAL BANK OF DAv-
EHPoRT.-From the Gazette of this morning
we learn tina. the Citizens National Bank
will not discontinue business. The propo-
sition for discontnusnce arose from the
recent decision of the courts in reference to
the taxation of National Banks. The Citi.
zen's National, which though not doing a
controlling business, has yet been in g most
healty and solvent condition during the
months of financial tribuiation through
which other banks have passed, had ceased
to loan money, keeping enough funds on
hand to pay their depositors if the general
distrust should ever cause rush upon
them This furling Of sails has preserved
their credit. They now propose to continue
if the usual bank per centoge is deducted
from their taxes by the county. This con
sentative course has given people confidence
in the bank, and they now renew business
under the most favorable auspices

Some time ago, Dr. Rohack, Of Cincinnati
through his agent in this place, J. a Maxwell
Esq placed in our hands bottle of his Stomach
Bitters, designed Tor dyspepsia, to give tone to
the stomach, IS preventive against the bilious
complaints incident 10 the western country ;
and, upon using it, we regard itas second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state con-
fdently that the Bitters are a certain cure for
dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietor
a source OF unalIoyed pleasure 1t removes all
morbid matter from the stomach, puri6es the
blood, imparts renewed vitality to she nervous
system. giving it that tone and energy SO indis-
pensable for the restoration of health. The nu-
merOus aeknowledg CLIENTS of its superior excel
lence and bcnefeent results, have assured the
proprietor that it cannot but prove great cure
in the afflicted, and impart vitality to the thor
ough system. We advise those who use btters
to use none but Robsck's, which can be obtained
n J. A. Maxwelrs Drug Store, in Upper San

A Revolution in Cookery. Since the intro

plete revolution has taken place in that depart

that dessert. The most delicious blanc mango,

about one third of the former cost. A great
economy of time as well as money is effected by
its use The preparations made from it are
