CALIFORNIA GOLD COMING TO VIRGINIA.
The reputation of the Virginia giant of life insur
ance seems already to have reached and establish
ed itself firmly on the Pacific Coast. Though but
recently established the general agency of the
Piedmont & Arlington, in California, is begin
to the Home Office for insurance. The company
is treating with distinguished Americans to open
agencies in various parts of Europe. and the esti-
mate in which the company is held by those who
understand its merits is evidenced by the fact,
that recently an educated and distinguished
gentleman applied for the general agency of
Russia willing to trust the commissions on his
work without the usual guarantee or salary paid
in such cases. This company has met the re-
quirements of all States it desired to enter, to
deposits or inspection of assets, and the first
to make the deposit required by the laws of Cali
fornia of $4,000 in Gold. Willing to stand eve
ry legitimate test and anxious to have safeguards
thrown around the Insurance business in its own
State, it has advocated and labored zealously to
establish strict and impartial insurance depart
ment, which we hope it will succeed in doing

cUMMER tOMPLAINT.-The fact is

- now too well established for any one to at
tempt to controvort it, that most of the diseases
which often prove fatal in summer, are produced
by excessive use of fruits and vegetables by
which the stomat h is disordered, the liver de-
ranged, the blood stagnated and the digestive
organs rendered inactive if not torpid. Cholera,
Cholera Morbus, Bilious and Cramp Cholic,
Dysentery Diarrhea and such like complaints
terminate and tn rive upon improper food and
often become so deep seated and fixed upon the
constitutions that the strongest and most active
mineral medicines unable to arrest their
progress until the patient is PROSTATE, and all
hopes of relief are ended. Who is it that has
not seen q fine, healthy infant or adult, seized
with one of the annoying diseases above spoken
of, and despite the skill and science of medical
gentlemen literally waste away under their treat
ment? And how is this treatment to be account
ed for? Simply by the fact, that instead Of adj
ministering soma remedy to stay the failing
strength ofthe afflicted and at the same time
check the disease in its progress the remedy pre-
strength, and at The time the disease was master
ed the sufferer was PROSTATE, and failing to excite
reaction the patient died from the effect of the
poison administered to uprOot the disease Not
so with Bakers Premium Bitters, which are
composed entirely of vegetable matter, and
which have not only proved themselves the best
tonic in use but have never failed to correct dis
orders of the stomach and bowels when taken &C.
cording to directions. In the cure OF Summer
mplaints they have no equal.

The subject of this notice was born in Augusta

TRIAL OF REAPERS.

TRIAL OF REAPERs.
In the trial of Reapers on Tuesday, the 20th
ult, on the farm of j. Wayt Bell, Esq, near this
place, the Hubbard Reaper and Mower combin-
ed was declared the victor, as will be seen by the
following report of the Committee:

COL j. B. BALDWIN,
President augusta County Fair:
We, the undersigned, having been appointed
committee to superintend trial of Reaping Ma
chimes, and Reapers & Mowers combined, which
took place upon the farm OF y. Wayt Bell, Esq,
near Staunton, on yesterday, the 18th ult., and,
being instructed by yourself as Chairman of the
Executive COMMITTEE of the Society, to make
public report of the result ofsad trial. respectful
~ submit the following
The Machines entered for trial were the
johnson Reaper,
Hubbard q Combined.
New Yorker
McCormick's Advance g
Valley Chief
Excelsior,
The points of trial considered by US we're:
1st Width of cut.
End, Ease of management.
3rd Safety of driver.
4th, ACCESSIBILITY in cutting high or low stub
9Th. Side Draft.
9th, Lghtness of draft
9TH, Quality of work.
8th, Control of size of gavel by driver.
9th, Adaptability to uneven surfaces
10TH Picking up lodged grain
18th, Durability. =,
18th Change of speed in motion of knife, while
machine is in operation.
All the machines were first tried in a field OF
grain standing ordinarily well, where all did
equally good work. They were afterwards taken
to a field Of badly tangled grain and submitted
to one of the severest trials that we nave ever
seen known in the history of Reapers.
The trial took place in this badly lodged grain
in the midst of shower of rain sufficiently heavy
to make the wheat quite wet consequently, the
machines were thoroughly tried as to their
strength and ability to take up lodged grain.
In the width of cut the johnson reaper exceed
ed the Hubbard by AZ inches.
In the trial in the second field, where the grain
was badly lodged and wet the Hubbard combin-
ed was fully equal to any or all of the machines
in the points of trial considered by US, and great
ly superior to any of them in adjustability fol
cutting high or low stubble ease of control, pick
ing up lodged grain, change of speed of knife
while in motion, and durability.
We would therefore unanimously and respect
fully recommend that, at the proper time, the
first premium be awarded to the Hubbard.
