the general object Of educating the
youth in head and heart, giving
many pleasing sketches, witty illus
trations and biblical truths, making
upon the whole a highly entertaining
and eloquent speech. Gen. COlquitt
is a man that enlists the feelings of
humanity at once, by his moral,
suasive, evolutionary powers, being
man of profound learning.
The compositions of the scholars
were remarkably good, evincing
much research, as well as creditable
reasoning. They all acquitted them
selves in most gratifying manner.
Thanks were rendered the gentle
men for their speeches, and espe-
cially to Gov. Brown for the gener-
GUS part he had displayed in fur
nishing a gratuitous train for the
accommodation of these schools.
Upon the whole, considering the
unfavorable weather, it was most
gratifying and interesting occasion,
and one that will long be remember
ed by the one thousand persons in
attendance.

EDmoRs JOURNAL: There seems
to be much native love for the beau
tiful by the young ladies of our city,
especially fot flowers.
To see them in their flower gardens,
In the beginning of each day,
Donued in their gay Dolly Vardens,
Would make you think, too, the same way.
They do not only understand the
culture of flowers, but, in culling and
arranging them, they display ex-
ceedingly nice tact and excellent
taste. Last Monday night, two
more beautiful baskets of flowers,
almost of the same descriptive make
as the one recently spoken of in the
Journal, were placed on the table
of Sparkling water" in Minnehaha
Ledge. We eyed them curiou8ly
and was waiting every moment for
some fair damsel to pronounce our
name and say, "AllOw me to present
YOU this basket of flowers as token
of my esteem," but what was our
disappointment and surprise to see a
married man bear one Of them off as
a triumph over celibacy! Yes, sir,
the young lady actually gave it to a
married man, when the room was
full of single men-and its leap year
too. Sir, we are either resolved to
get married, or--or-or commit sui
eide I'VE don't know which-not
much difference, we suppose, be-
tween the two. No! we know
what we'll do; we will inform his
wife and put him to the expense of
buying a bottle of "Hair Restora-

How We Used to be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when
sprtno puroation was considered indispensable
to summer health No matter for wry faces,
the inevitable salts and SIENNA, rhubard, or cal
omel and ialap, must be administered. These
''spping medicines" the youngsters were told,
were to keep them hale and hearty during the
summer We all know now that this was a
| falacy that new vigor, moi depletion, is what
| is REQUIRED at the commencement of the summer
solstice. As preparation for the eneryaing
effects of oppressive summer weatLor, course
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is highly expe-
dent This famous vegetable preparation has
three prominent Properties 1t renovates, puri-
fes aud regulates all the functions Of the body.
1t is composed exclusively of pure vegetable
productions, viz the essential principle of Mon
opnahela Rye, and the most efiicacious tonic
and Alternative roots, barks, and gums known to
medical botanists. Hence, il is an absolutely
safe medicine, aud no tinctWe Of the Pharma-
copnia can compare with it either in purity, or
in the variety of its objects, and its comprehen-
sive results Happily for mankind, the theory
that it was necessary to PROSTATE patient iii
order to cure him, is forever exploded, and the
true philosophical doctrine, that vigor is the
great antagonist OF disease, has taken its place.
Hostetter's Bitters is au invigorant, and hence
it is the proper medicine for the feeble at this
most trying season Of the year.
Be sure that You obtain the genuine article,
ms there are innumerable vile limitations in the
market Look TO the ornamental stamp, the
engraved label, and the name blown into the
class. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters sold in bot
