BE Guided by what you Know.

There is an old proverb which says, Eek
perience is the safest guide" To this guide
the sick and ailing naturally turn when cast
ing about fer relief. They enquire what a
medicine has done for others, before they
adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies ana
representatives. in use, Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers meets the test most triumphantly, and
hence its immense popularity and vast sales.
The sufferer from indigestion is sure to find
some one among his friends who has been
cured of that ailment by the famous yegeta-
bic stomachic. The victim of fever and ague,
liver complaint, constipation, nervous pros
tration, or general debility, has only to make
inquiry in the neighborhood where he resides
in order to discover what this standard re-
storative has effected in cases similar to his
own In the published testimony to its mer-
its he will find a volume of proofs of its SAN
itsry properties, which it is impossible for
common sense to resist. He tries it, and the
effect it produces on his system adds another
to the host Of witnesses IN its favor. Thus,
its reputation, founded on facts, not asser-
tions, continually grows and spreads. Char
atans and imposters, some of them mere
local tricksters, aud others Who take some
what wider range, attempt to thrust into the
hands and down the threats of invalids, THEN
haphazard coneoctions, as substitutes for the
tonic which for so many years has been a
medical staple throughout the United States,
Spanish America, Canada, and the West In
dies, but only succeeded to a very limited ex.
tent. In this reasoning age, the people hav-
ing ascertained what is really deserving Of
their confidence, decline . running after

ANOTHER MAN LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS
Two weeks ago to-day Daniel Mccormick of
this place, who has ranch in the Mountains
between the North and Main forks of the STAN
islaus River, with John Freel and John
Laughlin, were hunting stock that had been
ranging between the two forks. The dis
tance between the forks is not great, some five
or six miles. When they started to hunt
they separated so that one followed down
stream on the ridge, while the others follow
ed down on each side of the ridge. McCor-
mick was on one side, Freel on the other,
which left Laughlin in the middle. The day
was unpleasant, in the evening il commenced
TO sleet, when Mccormick determined to re-
turn to the cabin. During the time they had
been out, Mccormick would occasionally hol-
loa which was heard by Freel, about half an
hour before starting for his cabin Mccormick
saw Laughlin at distance. Mccormick
went to his cabin and shortly Freel come in
who had heard his shouts ct intervals. Time
wore on Laughlin not appearing, the two
went out and made all the noise they could,
but nothing has been seen or heard of him
since. He must have become lost or bewil-
dercd and persisted in the storm of that night.
On Monday ten men went out to find his re-
mains, they had not returned up to the time
of going to press. The lost man has pursued
the avocation of miner in the vicinity Of
Sonora for many years. AT the time of his
disappearance he was residing with his fami
ly near Montezuma. He was warmly es-
teemed by his friends and acquaintances for
his many good traits, was about thirty-fve
years of age, and leaves wife and chill
dren to mourn his unfortunate death.

Chinese Camp school Festival.
Mourn PLIAsasr. Dee. Sd. ls7

MOUNT PLEASANT, Dec. Sd, 1871.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT :--As per programme,
our School Ball and Festival took place in
Armorv Hall, Thanksgiving evening. Be
tween two and three hundred dollars was
cleared for school purposes, sufficient to sus-
tain the school when the public funds are
used mp. When the present law is fully car
riei out. regarding the collection of taxes,
&C., these annual gatherings will not be re-
ouired. Some parties must be at fault. else
we should have the benefit of the law for the
present year, be that as it may, Chinese
Camp and vicinity will keep school open from
nine to ten months each year. 1t has be-
come a pleasure as we'll as duty to enjoy
these yearly festivals, it cultivates social
spirit, fraternal mixing of all classes of citi-
zens, and gives an opportunity to witness the
progress and efficiency of the scholars. Many
of the pieces recited are of a high moral ma
ture, having refining tendency, one picture
especially | must not omit to mention, ''The
Dying Mother" by Alice Lampson, beauti-
full child of seven summers, a more ehaste
and innocent exhibition was never made be-
fore an audience and towards the end there
were few dry eyes in the Hall. Little Chill
dren Love Zach Other, was also beautifully
recited by Alice and Lilly Lampson-seven
and four years. Really, no language can
portray the feeling engendered by hearing
those two sweet sisters performing their part
under the direction of James Congdon, Teach
er. "May future years preserve that Magi-
cal Innocence which so adorn your younger
years." The exercises of the school were as
follows Song-"Thc Stars are Coming,
by Anna Gage and Alice Lampson. Decla-
mation--"M Marco Bozzaris", by Frank So
linsky. Drama" Manager, in three acts
Song, by Louis Egling. Recitation-'Death
of the Flowers, by Ada Meyhew. Decla-

B. Taylor. Recitation--'L Little Children

con Stokes", by Edgar Wade and Frank So

Warning, by Annie Gage.
Dancing was merrily kept up till day light.
A bounteous supper was supplied by the lib
crafty of the citizens, and all passed off in a
happy manner and to the satisfaction of oil
concerned. The Trustees would take this
opportunity of returning thanks to the ladies
who acted as committee of arrangements.
much is due to them for the happy result
and also to friends who contributed from q
distance. The Trustees were pleased to see
