hat Is a Tonic.

Bear this in mind, that although a tonic is, to
certain extent, a stimulaut, a stimuldat, uRmod-
fed BY any medicinal substances, is not tonic bat
DEBILIrANT. In HosTETTER's STOMACH BITrERS
there is stimulating element of the purest
grade manufactured IN this or any other country.
Every fiery and corrosive oil or acid which con-
teammates the ordiaary liquors of commerce, is
expelled from the rye SpiriI which forms the al
coholic basis of the BITTERs, by careful and re-
peated recti6cation. The juices of the valuable
roots, barks and herbs, infused into this whole
some product of the finest grain, still further
modify its nature; so that it becomes, in fact, a
simple difuSive agent, minus all the heady and
brain exciting properties which belong, more or
less, to all liquors in raw state. 1t is merely
the safe and harmless vehicle which renders the
medicinal virtues of the preparation effective,
Increasing their active power, and diifuSing them
through the system. Hence the pleasant and
gentle glow which is experienced after taking a
dose OF the BITrERS. Instead of creating head
ache, as unmedicated StimulantS are apt to do,
this salubrous tonic is the best known remedy
for that complaint. 1t calms and soothes cere.
bral excitement, strengthens the nerves, pro-
notes the secretion of the gastric juice, invigor-
ates the bowels, determines the fluids to the sur
face, improves the appetite, increases the animal
vigor, regulates organic action, and from its
mild yet effective Alternative qualities is the very
best preparation that can be administered to the
weaker sex in the peculiar difficulties to which
their organization subjects them.

BEAR TREES. - Billy Kinds, of Big fiat,
while hunting, one day last week, started
q bear. 1t treed and passed into a hole
about thirty feet from the ground. Billy re-
turned to the fat and reported to uncle Hop
and "Pard." The three repaired to the tree
again, taking with them two rifles and two
dogs. They raped, made violen: gestures and
invite Brun out in various ways, but meeting
with no success whatever they now held a
miners meeting. Billy said the bear went in
here sure. "Pard," thought there was no bear
here. Uncle Hop said if they could only drop
some fire into the hole it would certainly bring
him out il he was in there. "Pard &" thought
he could climb the tree. The three got pitch
torch, lighted it aud up went "Pard" He
reached the hole, applied the torch, and no
sooner done than out came the bear. " Pard -
and bear made perpendicular decent, making
the same time and striking the ground together
The dogs then closed in, Uncle Hop and Billy
each gave the bear shot. Mr.. Bear " cleaned +"
the dogs and before the hunters could reload
their guns, he retreated from their gaze, and
was seen no more Mr. Brooks says he knows
OF several bear trees. d" Pard " says he is will
ing to fire them out, providing they have better
shots next time. ~

A SNAKE CHARMER.-A. &. Wirzen, the re-
nowned snake-charmer, discovered his wonder
ful power over serpents in 1855, while out hunt
Ing on Rush creek, in this county. Becoming
Hired, he sat down to rest himself at the root o

Enormous rattle-snake making toward him
Without any particular object, Mr.. Wirzen be-

listened ntently, at last rolling over as though
under the influence of some mysterious power
Wirzen picked up the snake, carried it home
and repeated experiments proved his charming
power over the serpent. He made his debut in
Weaverville as snake charmer, went below, and
was once severely bitten at Sacramento but re-

THE CONSTITUTION VIoLATED.-The Assembly,
after once voting two to one against the bill au-
thorizing the Mercantile Library Association OF
San Francisco to hold lottery, the other day
reversed its decision, and the bill has received
the signature of the Governor and become a law.
Thus two departments of the State government
have deliberately violated one of the plainest
provisions of the constitution and in doing so
have eozened to church practice for the en-
cOuragement of gambling. After this let us
hear no more pious sermons against that vice.
II it is right for most excellent people to deal
in games of chance, it cannot be wrong in others
not of the most excellent kind. But right or
wrong, there is no decent excuse for violating
the constitution n.-SdcrdmeRt0 URion

THE CAVE AT TAYLoRs FLAT.-The Indians
have a tradition that two of them once entered
the large cave at Taylor'S fiat and attempted to
penetrate its recesses. As they have it, one was
lost in the labyrinth and never emerged, the other
after swimming a large lake and suffering various
hardships, came out a parcel of skin and bones
on the other side of the mountain.

all other medicines combined. Sufferer what
ever your ailment is, give these two remedies a

appointed, they will benefit and most likely cure

DUTToN CREEK MINEs.-The storms prevailing
during the first part of the week prevented us
from visiting the Dutton creek mines to examine
for ourselves. Because of the weather, but lit
tie has been done towards developing them, but
the general opinion is that it is the biggest
strike made in this comfy for many years. A
large number of claims have been located and
the owners are starting in to work them in ear
nest. The prospects obtained with pan and
rocker range from three to thirty-fve cents to
the bucket The only sluicing of which we have
been informed paid at the rate of twelve dollars
per day to the hand, and the gold was brought
70 town to show for it. The work was done in
the first claims located, with a scanty, INSULT
cient head of water. Only four small boxes
were used and the bedrock was not cleaned.
There is good reason to believe that these dig
gings will prove rich and extensive, and few
weeks will tell us much more about them
Should such prospects be found in Montana, or
some other off region, rush from all parts
vonld follow. Diggings that will pay to work
with rocker will not be left unworked, and
this discovery seems TO belong to that class.
