of the system by which the appointments to the

The Warming has been Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts
made by certain unscrupulous local deal
ers, to palm off their coarse astringents,
made from cheap and impure materials,
in the place of the great national tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, public opin-
ion has set strongly against these empir-
les and their preparations. Their occu
patton is gone, or soon will be. When
the light is let into deception it soon willis
down. Persons who trifle with their own
health, by using unknown preparations,
with no guarantee to sustain them, when
an established specific, proven by twenty
years experience to be exactly what it is
claimed to be, is within their reach, are
sure to repent their temcrity. Many have
done SO in this instance, but it is hoped
that the truth plainly spoken has arrest
ed the evil. In the mean time the de-
mand for the leading protective and re-
storative medicine Of America was never
so great as it has been this season. From
the fever and ague districts of the west,
south west, and south, it is literally over
whelming, and it may be said of the ad
vices from all parts of the country of the
cures it is etfecting in dyspepsia, bilious
complaints, and chronic constipation,
that "their name is legion" Every
where the sick and feeble seem to have
realized the importance of "holding fast
that which is good" and of avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous.
The numerous Bitters," under .vari
Gus names, which mercenary dealers en-
deavor to substitute tor Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, should be avoided, for their
own sakes, by the sick and the public at
large. Hostetter's Btters are procurable
in bottles only, and never sold in bulk.

THE VISITORS WE WANT.-Mr. II.
A. Ashburn and Captain George II. Ad-
kins, of Nevada county, came to Wea-
verville Friday of last week, intending to
prospect the mines of Trinity county for
two or three weeks. The unexpected fall
of snow this week prevented them from
so doing and they returned last Thursday.
These gentlemen have been for long
time, and are now, mining upon a large
scale, and from conversing with them we
were satisfied that but few miners in this
county understand working deep banks
of gravel to advantage. Captain Adkins
said that if he could find gravel deposits
in this county that would yield five
cents per ton with plenty of dump he
should move his traps to this county.
Five cents per ton is but light color, or
about one cent to twelve pans of earth.
That it can be made to pay, Adkins knew
from experience, for during five weeks
run in his claim this Summer, he worked
OH ul dNtIuBt VI ten lnOuSduu lOHS Vi
heavy gravel daily, and this at one cent
per ton paid handsome profit. Nessrs.
Ashburn and Adkins took hasty look at
some of our mines and are sanguine that
Trinity will shortly be one of the most
prosperous counties in the State. They
intend to return early in the Spring and
prospect for deep gravel deposits. Their
coming means that an influx of miners
possessed of experience and capital is
about to set into this county. All the
gravel deposits that can be worked are
gobbled up in Nevada county. Those
OF Trinity county are unworked and un-
occupied. This fact is becoming known
abroad and will result in heavy invest
ments of capital here.
