Cor BACK.-Otto Vollmers returned
this week, having been to Virginia City
and San Francisco. He saw ii. A. and
j. p. Jones and met with w. b. Cloth
ier, w. p. Kellogg and j. N. Hulse at
Virginia City, all doing we'll. II. A.
Jones is coming to Trinity on visit in
about two months. At San Francisco
Otto had pleasant time and met with
many old friends, including Baehr, Over
mobile, Messic, John McCombe and 9TH
ers. OvermohIe has nice store and is
doing we'll. When Otto called upon him
Overmohle, knowing he was coming, had
a buggy in readiness and forthwith rode
him out to the Cliff House. Otto says
that what he saw of San Francisco during
his brief stay was perfectly splendid, and
thinks that fifteen or twenty years is long
enough for man to stay in one place
without going abroad to learn how the
rest o: the world are getting along.

How We Used to be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when
spring pdrgation was considered indis-
pensable to summer health ? No matter
for wry faces, the inevitable salts and sem
ma, rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must
be administered. These "spring med-
cines," the youngsters were told, were to
keep them hale and hearty during the
summer. We all know that this was a
tallacy; that new vigor, not depletion,
what is required at the commencement
of summer solstice. AS preparation for
the enervating effects of oppressive sum-
mer weather, a course of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is highly expedent. This ia
nous vegetable preparation has three
prominent properties 1t renovates, pu-
rifles, and regulates all the functions of
the body. 1t is composed exclusively of
pure vegetable productions, viz : the es-
sential principle Of Monongahela Rye and
the most eflicacious tonic and Alternative
roots, barks and gums known to medi-
cal botanists. Hence, it is an absolutely
safe medicine, and no tincture of the
Pharmacopeia can compare with it ell
ther in purity, or in the variety of its OBJ
jects, and its comprehensive results. Hap
PLY for mankind, the theory that it was
necessary to PROSTATE patient in order
to cure him, is forever exploded, and
the true philosophical doctrine, that vigor
is the great antagonstic of disease, has
taken its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an
invigorant, and hence it is the proper
medicine for the feeble at this most try
ing season of the year.
BE sure that you obtain the genuine ar
tlcle, as there are lnnumerable vile imita-
tions in the market. Look to the orna-
mental stamp, the engraved label, and
only. 5may.

BoCH BIER.-Boch bier differs from
lager beer and is much better. Those
having the article handy can easily satisfy
themselves on this score. Those who
have not we would refer to Webster's
Unabridged. We have been led to direct
the attention of our readers to this subject
from having received a keg of boch beer
from Messrs. John & Chris Meckel, of
North Fork. This quality of beer is
never manufactured for sale in this Sec
ton, being too expensive. Every brew
cry makes some each year for friends and
home use. We are thankful to Messrs.
Nickel for remembering us among their
many friends. Nickel & Bros. brewery
at North Fork, although badly located for
the sale OF the article, the superior quality
of the beer manufactured by them enables
them to carry on quite a thriving busi-
ness. North Fork beer is known to be
always good and that makes it sell.

went on spree, among them being first ser
geant Baker, of battery G., L. :. artillery. on
his way hack TO the fortress from Mil creek A
town situated about a mile west OF the fortress
and Astounding in GROCERIES, he was followed
by two white men and a cOlOred man, who sup
posing he had considerable money in his posses
sion, formed a plan 20 rob kim. ON reaching a
secluded spot OF the road one of the robbers
struck Baker q terrible blow, killing him in
stantly. They then searched his pockets but
as the negro said on the examination they found
nothing. Thereup0n they dragged the body
down 20 the beach and buried ii under An old
wharf. Some three OF four weeks later they
came over from Hampton in a boat on dark
night and dug up the body, setting Il aariff i'm
the Roads, but 10 was found on the beach near

Some OF the sergeants Comrades, suspectins
that all was not right, have been on the alert
for clew TO his mysterious death. One OF them
being in Hampton the other dsy. on business.
fell in with a colored man very much under the
influence of liquor, and commenced tantAlizing
him. The colOred man got angry and told the
soldier IL he did not shut up he would be served
as Sergeant Baker had been served. He then
questioned the colOred man, who was Just drunk
enough TO tell him all he knew The matter was
brought before Justice McDevItt, of Hampton.
who issued warrants for their arrest. "Buck
Smith" was arrested for the murder, while the
colored man, Tom jefferson, Is held as a wit
ness. Both men are now in Jail.
