SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SEASON. Thou
sands regard the winter as season of trials and
the truth is that if there is weak point III the
system winter is pretty sure to find it out. Con
stltutiOnal tendencies to disease are generally
aggravated by damp and cold (Rheumatism
sometimes lies perdu all the summer and fall, to
pounce upon its victims in the season of cod)
As means of terrifying the body against all the
Diseases which prevail most extensively in win
ter, HoStetter's stomach Bitters cannot be- to ur-
gently recommended. There would be- fewer
Gases Of the pulmonary complaints tending to
consumption, if all feeble systems were invigo-
rated during the season with Il course of this in
"stimable vegetable tonic and Alternative. Con-
stipation, indigestion torpidty of the liver, and
general slugg ishncss of the Secretiye organs,
Very generally prevail at this period of the year.
To all these ailments experience (the most trust
worthy Of all mcntors teaches that the Bltters
is reliable remedy. Warm clothing is good
external defence against atmospheric cold and
moisture, but vigorous activity in the vital or
ganiZation which generates heat and delivers it
to- the surface, is also essential to health, and
this activity i, secured through the operation of
the BitlerS. The skin SyrupathiZes with the
stomach, and if digestion is regular and perfect
the exterior circulation will be brisk, and damp

ALEXANDRIA FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. -
4 meeting will be held at the Office of Messrs
Geo K. Wilmer & Go. Tomorrow evening at
4 0 clock. for the purpose Of completing the
organization Of the above named Company.
That every one ought to insure his property is
proposition no one will undertake to contro-
vert Why not then effect this object by es-
tablishing companies at home, and thus keep a
large amount of capital that now flows into the
channels of trade of other cities in our own
midst? This can be done if the people Of this
city will only he true to their own interests. 1t
is calculated that at least S5O,000 or 100000
annually is drawn from this city for insurance.
Suppose one-third Or even one-tourth of it
could be retained here would it not help every
department Of trade? Let there be full turn
out to- morrow Of those who take Il real interest
in the material prosperity OF the city.
