CHEAP Ice PITcHER.-The following method
of keeping ice water long time in q common
pitcher, is worth knowing: Place between two
sheets of paper newspaper will answer, thick
brown is better), layer Of cotton batting about
a half an inch in thickness, fastep the ends Of
paper and batting together, forming q circle,
then sew or paste a crown over one end, making
a box the shape of q stove pipe minus the rim.
Place this over ordinary pitcher filed with
ice water, making it deep enough to rest on the
table, so as to exclude the air, and the reader
will be astonished at the length Of time this ice
will keep, and the water remain cold after the
ice is melted

A MINING SPECULATIoN.-J. w. Smi-
ley and j. &. Trotter have purchased a
number of the old mining claims at
Smiths Flat, near Douglas City, They
intend to put in a large flume, take water
in big pipe from Paulsen's ditch, and try
what virtue there is is in working old
diggings in scientific manner. Smiths
Flat was noted for its uniform good pay,
and was worked for a number of years
successfully. AS the front of the fiat
was worked away and the bank grew
deeper, it became difficult, with the poor
facilities for working then known, to strip
enough bed rock in seasons work to pay
we'll, and this past winter only one com
pany has worked there. AS the necessity
for cutting more than one deep bed rock
ditch will be avoided by the use Of the
improved mining appliances now in
vogue, it is claimed that the ground that
is yet left can be made to pay as well as
that formerly worked. The projectors Of
the enterprise deserve success and we
trust they will obtain it.

A COMMERCIALLY ENTERPRIsE.-Mr.
Gustavus De Young, formerly one of the
publishers of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle, but now engaged in compiling drec-
tories of the Pacific Coast, paid us Wis
it Wednesday last. The object of his
visit to this section, is for the purpose of
compiling combined work for Trinity,
Shasta, Siskiyou and Tehama counties,
representing the resources of the several
counties and showing the business capac-
ity of each. This is an enterprise which
should receive encouragement, and being
something long desired our citizens will
undoubtedly, readily perceive its advan-
tages. From the highly complimentary
notices of the press generally, throughout
the State, of Mr.. De Young's previous
works, we have no reason to doubt but
that this one will be fully up TO the stand
ard. This is a commendablc enterprise
and as such should meet with appropri
pirate patronage.

The Career of Great Remedy.

Twenty Summers have elapsed since it
was briefly announced that new vegeta
Bile tonic and Alternative, bearing the
name of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, had
been added TO the list of preventive and
restorative medicines. The modest ad-
vertisement which invited attention 10
the preparation stated that it had been
used with great success in private prac-
tice as cure for dyspepsia, bilious COM
plants, constipation and intermittent te-
yer. 1t was soon discovered that the ar
ticle possessed extraordinary qualities.
The people, of every class, tested its mer-
its as tonic, stimulant, corrective and
restorative. and found that its effects more
than fulfilled their hopes and expecta-
tions. From that time TO the present its
course has been upward and onward, and
it stands to-day at the head of all medi-
cines Of its class, American or imported,
in the magnitude of its sales and its rep
utation as a safe, agreeable and potent
invigorant and restorative. For languor
and debility, lack Of appetite and gastric
disturbances so common during the Sum-
mer months it is absolutely infallible.
Indigestion, bilious disorders, constipa-
ton. nervousness, periodical fevers, and
all the ordinary complaints generated by
a vitiated and humid atmosphere, van
ish under its renovating and regulating
influence. This is its record, avouched
by volumes of intelligent testimony, ex-
tending over period of fifth of GEN.
tury, and comprehending the names of
thousands of we'll known citizens belong
ing to every class and calling. In Eu-
rope it is thought great thing to obtain
the patronage of royalty for "patent
medicine" but Hostetter's Btters has
been spontaneously approved by mil
lions of independent sovereigns, and its
patent consists in their endorsement.

must be better than the average of trav-
cling ones to command good audiences at
that price of admission for more than
one, or at the most, two nights. Had
the charge not been more than fifty cents
after the first night the company would
have had paying houses. Two of the
