The Cause of Temperance

dangerous foes in the many so-called
"tonics" and "appetizers," made of
cheap whisky and refuse liquors, finish
cd up to suit depraved appetites, under
the name of medicines. DIR. Walkers
California Vinegar Bitters are none of
these. They are not beverage, but a
genuine medicine, purely vegetable,
prepared from CalifOrnis herbs by a
regular physician. For all diseases of

skin and blood, they are infallible and
unriyalled remedy,

fully satisfied THAT it is not surpassed
by any county paper either in this state
OF elsewhere. There is none that'pre-
sents such tasty appearance both in
mechanism and general arrangement,
and above all, it is of the true stripe,
which it boldly defends. No Repubii-

How Coal Originated.

By far the most valuable of all the
gifts hidden by Nature beneath our feet
and yet always most generously offered
to us whenever they have been needed
most urgently, are the vast supplies of
fixed light and heat stored up below for
Il thousand years. Perhaps long before
man himself existed, in days OF which
no other record remains but the silent
testimony of the rocks, forests of
luxurious growth covered every lowly
valley, crowned every inland lake, and
fringed the low shores of the great
oceans. They sprang up, they grew
and iiourished, and no hand gathered
their fruit, no axe threatened their
mighty trunks; but storms came and
tempests, volcanic eruptions and vio-
lent upheavings, and they were laid low
in an instant, and covered with ashes
and sand. Then new generations rose
upon them and their race, others fol-
lowed, and thus the work of incessant
destruction and regeneration went OIL
through countless ages. Hence in some
places 40 successive forests each sepa-
rated from the lower by a few feet Of
sand and clay, have been found TO have
grown and fallen In turn, one lying
above the other. They did not vanish,
tthey did not even decay; but, beneatl
them, the glowing heat of our globe

q thick canopy of cloud pouring END.

and to procure the light that is indls
pensible to the enjoyment and the use

stored up since time immemOrial, wer
revealed TO them; and ample supple
of both heat and light guaranteed fo

Fire Companies.

Our town is now pretty well supplied
with fiRe companies, there being two
good organizations with two good hand
engines. She new company lately
formed bids fair to excel the old one
and with a little practice and training
will make a very serviceable company
in case of fire. We hope that the COM
petition between these two companies
will be the means of keeping every
thing in readiness for prompt action in
case of necessity. Both engines have
done some good throwing during the
past few DAYS. r-HHIf

Bad Spelling.

Almost every one will say that bad
spelling is disgrace, yet nearly all are
more or less effected with it, and this is
because spelling is generally considered
as being branch of not much import
ance, and is consequently neglected
while Geography, Algebra, and branch
es of this nature are studied. This
should not be since spelling is the cor
ner stone on which to build an educa-
ton, and why not then become prof.
cient in that before grasping for high
er and less practical knowledge.

Sewing Machines.

To show what an enormous industry
the business Of manufacturing and SELL
ing sewing machines has become, we
find by the sworn returns of the twen-
ty-five principal makers, that their gross
sales for 1871 amounted to six hundred
and six thousand and ninety-four (606,-
OS4) machines. OF this large number
the Singer Manufacturing Co., which
heads the list in the extent of its sales,
sold one hundred and eigiIty-one thou
sand two hundred and sixty (lSl ,2G0)
machines, being nearly One-third of
the entire number, and upward of fifty
three thousand increase on their sales
in the previous year, We understand
that this success is mainly owing to the
popularity of their new Family" ma
chine which, in addition to all the, usual
advantages, has several new features
which render it specially attractive to
the masses. In Chicago, it would seem
that no other machine has 4 chance
against it, for the Special Relief Com
mittee, after the late disastrous fire, re-
port, that of the total numberof 2,04l
machines distributed, two thousand
four hundred and twenty-seven (2,427)
were of the "Singer" pattern. The re.
port adds: ",rhe applicant in every
case has designated the machine dc.
