jackson Fire Company No. were much
gratified last evening at receiving letter
through their foreman, K. L. Saunders,
from w. \. Gaylord, Esq, of Suffolk Hose
Company No. ). Boston, Mass, informing
No. l Company that their old banner,
which had adorned their hall and graced
many parade before the war, was in pos
session of firemen, and would be returned
upon application. In his letter Mr.. Gay
lord says:
ITO make long story short, the boys
talked the thing over, and concluded that
your company might think great deal OF
the banner as memento or gilt. and would
probably prize it great deal higher after
its long journey; they directed me to in
form you of It's whereabouts. and that ii
Won wished it, To Uniform me, and we would
forward il by express, hoping that Jackson
engine company would have no ill feeling
towards Suffolk Hose Company"
Foreman Saunders has replied for No.
Company, stating that while the company
regretted that the banner had been taken
away by an invading soldiery, yet they
were much gratifed that it should be re-
turned by firemen. No. l Company has
still another banner missing, and which was
much valued, as it was presented by Eagle
No. Z. of New Orleans, in 1858. 1t is to be
hoped that whoever has it in possession
will learn of the course pursued by the
Suffolk Hose Company, of Boston, and will
go and do likewise.

Throw la ENTERTAINMENTS.

The Citadel of Life is in a state of siege
all through the year, but is never more
closely invested than in mid-winter. The
liver is usually somewhat torpid. and the
bowels more or less colistipated at this sea-
son, and dyspepsia often assumes its most
aggravated form in cold and wet weather.
In short, the sluggish system seems in
clined TO intermit or shirk some of its most
important duties under the influence of a
low temperature, and requires wholesome
stimulation. The spur required is Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters, the only medicine
which .quickens the the action of the secre-
tive organs, and brings out the latent vital
ity of the system. without creating any
febrile symptoms, or the slightest nervous
excitement.
The great Vegetable Tonic is not recon-
mended as a specific for Coughs, Colds and
Consumption-that field being left open to
the concoctors o. preparations which can
not by any possibility reach the lungs. but
as a specific for the constitutional and phys
ical weakness which invite pulmonary dis
ease, it is literally infallible- The most in
sidious and terrible enemy of human life is
not disease itself, but the weakness which
afforus il an opportunity TO gain a firm hold
of the vital system. Remember that Stam-
ina, Vital Energy--the life-prineiple. or
whatever you may choose to call the resist
ant power which battles against the causes
Of disease and death, is the grand safeguard
Of healfh. II is the garrison Of the human
fortress, and when it wakes weak, the true
policy is TO throw in achievements. In
other words, when such an emergency oe-
ours, commences q course of Hostetters
