Multner's store, and we're somewhat surprised to
find SO fine an assortment of groceries, hardware,

stores in Ophir. and from the large stock they

ness. Ophir is a neat little town, and the home
of many good people; and the fruit interest

FINALLY, AND TO CONCLUDE. Matters have
been so far advanced now at the last Gift Con-
cert Of the Public Library, that Gov. Bramlette
is enabled to State positively. and Enthusiastically,
that the final drawing will take place on the SOth
day of next November. Therefore those who
wish to participate in the greatest Gift Concert
ever offered to the public in this or any other
country should make Immediate arrangement
to be ready for the great drawing. Any delay
now will imperil the ticket-holder. for. whateve,
may be said by outsiders, We can assure oul
readers that we know whereof We speak when
we say sdvisedly that the drawing will come of
on the day Indicated.

The TULEs ON FIRE. All over the State the
tules are on fire with enthusiasm on the subject
of the next and last Grand Gift Concert of the
Public Library of Kentucky, to come off Novem-
Der 30th, 1874. Until recently it was thought
that the excitement was confined to the cities
and towns, but reliable accounts show that the
rural districts are much in earnest on the
subject as the cities. Indeed, the fact is not
surprising when it is known that this is posi-
lively the last chance which can be given, and at
this Concert, $2,5OO,OOO in cash will be dis
tributed to the ticket-hoders in such prizes OF
gifts as $25O,00O, $10O,OoO $4,000, $25, 900,
$4,000. For further information, address

GREENE MINE.--Itis some lime since We have
chronicled any operations on this mine. We are
pleased to say though, that. from present indi-
cations. the day is not far distant when we may
tell OF the fabulously rich ore which this mine
giving out, as il has given out, and as we have
told OF In days before. 1t is claimed. by those
who know something of the inside of this mine.
that the reasons which caused work to be sus-
pended for while were not that it did not con-
tain plenty of paying ore. This now seems
reasonable since Mr.. Greene, who still retains a
large interest, and who knows more about the
mine than anyone else, is here in person, Super
intending the work Of cleaning out the shafts,
drifts, etc., ready for permanent and extensive
operations. Just now the quartz interest in this
district, which, in all countries, has its viciss-
tudes, seems rather more permanent. if not
more active. than at any time for several years.

PLANT FRUir.- Daily we become more con-
plant fruit are worthy of consideration. We
need hardly repeat that this foot.hill country
possesses all the elements in the way of soil and
climate for raising the best fruit in the world
With this fact SO strikingly before us, and an
increasing demand for California fruits and
wines, is there any reason why these hills should
not. in few years. be one continuous Eden of
vines and fruit bearing trees affording labor for
thousands of people, and from which the own.
ers might derive annually handsome income;
beneath the shade of which children could romp
in health and innocent pleasure, and older peo-
pie nestle in comfortable seclusion. We will
never realize the vast importance of this branch
OF industry, until people 60 into it more ex-
tenslvely. When it shall be he,alded world
wide that Placer county, through the entire
length of which the great trans-contnental rail
way passes, is continuous garden Of all the
choice fruits known to semi-tropical cline,
then will we be besiesed from all parts of the
world for supplies. and the prices for the supes
rior fruits. which none but our foot-hil climate
will produce. will be of our own making. Just
as soon as we raise fruit enough in this neigh
borhood to make it an object. there will be a
drying establishment erected in our midst and
from the very first crop that can be raised
from this year's planting, provided it is extern
sive, good income would be realized The
New York Tribune says there is considerable in
quiry for dried fruits in that market, and says
California fruits have the preference. The
prices offered for dried fruit are, apples, 25c
per pound, apricots, pears, peaches, etc, 30c
Just think of this. farmers. Suppose that every
farmer within ten miles Of Auburn had Just one
ton Of dried fruit to haul to the depot about this
time of the year, for which, ON delivery he
could get, we will say. zoe per pound how nice
it would be-? How comfortably that $40O would
provide him with all the necessaries for the COM
ing Winter, and see him safely into the begin
ming Of another fruit season. And ono ton is
not much. Many Of you would soon be able to
dry five. ten, and even 20 tons, should you go
right into the business, aud when that point
should be reached, which We think can be by
any Of you, without any cspital, except your
own labor. it needs no comments to tell what

ADVERTISING man who has inducements
to offer, that are calculated to mutually benefit
both himself and his customers and refrains
from making it known by some public medium,
on account of the cost, economies unwisely.
The Chicago Enterprise says: "The system of
advertising adopted in these modern times is
one of the greatest inventions Of the age. A
judicious, liberal advertisement is 10 the busi-
ness Of mercantile house just what our Spring
rains are to the growing crop. 1t gives lie,
energy and business. in such way that it can
not be discerned; the life-givng cause--advertis-
ing-is the back ground, and cannot be seen.
1t is universally conceded fact that all who ad-
vertise do not get fich, but there are precious
few instances OF liberal advertiser who did not
prosper and eventually become wealthy. And.
again, the merchant who is libeAl with his ad-
vertisernent, is also liberal in his lhannss Of
doing business" This striking fact seems to
be fully realized by N. LAvenson, Of nocklin

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.--On this subject the
Examiner says: "Too many parents seek to
establish their authority over their ch ldren on
the principle of fear; while the children
themselves retail their hard experience in this
direction among one another. similarly er-
roneous course is pursued in the government OF
many of our schools, and terror is the basis OF
many of our laws. The theory is utterly wrong
and pernicous in its practical operation. And,
in this connection, the Home Visitor Of Burling-
ton, Vermont, justly remarks
Nothing can be worse for child than to
frighten it. The effect of the scare is slow to
recover from, it remains sonnet mes until ma
:urty as is shown by many instances of morbid
sensitiveness and excessive nervousness Not
unfrequently fear is employed o means of
discipline. Children are controlled by being
made to believe that something terrible will hap
pen them, are punished by being shut up in dark
rooms, or by being put in places they stand in
dread Of. No one. without vivid memory OF his
own childhood, can comprehend how entirely
cruel such things are. We have often heard
grown persons telling of the suffering they have
endured, rs children, under like circumstances,
and recount the irreparable injury which they
are sure they then received. No parent, nor
nurse, capable of alarming the young, is fitted
for her position. Children, as near as possible,
should be trained not to know the sense of fear,
which. above everything else, is to be feared, in
their education both early and late

Source Of Many Illa
If oil the ailments. bodily and mental, which
torment the human family could be traced to
their primary sources, 1t would probably be
found that thres-iourths of them originated in
the failure of the stomach and the other organs
by which the food is converted into nutriment
and applied TO the purposes Of life, to perform
the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously
AMI regularly. This being the case the vast i'm
portance of medicine which compels these or
gans to do their whole duty thoroughly and
efficiently, Becomes at once apparent. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters may be truly characterized
as preparation Of this kind indeed a. the only
one which can be implicitly relied ON an combn-
ing the properties of a stonaachtc, an Alternative
and an aperient in such proportions as to pro-
duce simultaneously the desired effect upon the
disordered stomach, liver, and intestines. This
conclusion is warranted by the celebrity and GER
tainty with which the Bitters sffords relief in
chronic cases of dyspepsis, tospidity Of the liver
and constipation. The false idea that these
complaints and others that grow uut of them,
could be cured by fierce cathaftics has at last, it
is hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The sick,
during the last hundred years, have swallowed
thousands of tons OF mercury scammony, gam
boge. croton oil, jalap etc., and tens OF thous-
ands Of graves have been prematurely Rlled
thereby. But ever since the principle of feYiova-
ton, as embodied in Hostetter's 8 Stomach Bitters
was arrayed against the principle of prostration,
| as represented by mineral salivants and furious
purgatives, the latter has steadily and surely
fallen into deserved contempt. The outcry
against stimulation by which concoctors of de-
pleting drenches hoped to give eclat to their dis
gusting and dangerous compounds has only
served to increase the demand Of the wholesome
stimulant, tonic and Alternative which for twenty
five years triumphed over all opposition, and is
now the most popular medicine in the Western
emisphere
