The Reason why.

THE QUESTION Is DAILY ASKED BY
THOUSANDS OF OUR CITIZENS, "Why
IN il that the EXE BittCrs HAVE A.
CHIENED SUCH POPULARITY WITH THE
PUBLIC, AND HAVE SUCH AN IMMENSE
SALE ?" THE REASON Is BECAUSE
THEY ARE AN OLD AND WELL-ESTAB-
LISHED ARTICLE AND AREMADE FROM
THE MOST CHOICE HERBS AND ROOTS !;
THE MANY WHO HAVE TRIED THEM,
TESTIFY TO THEIR BENEFICIAL QUAIL
TIES, AND HAVE NO HESITATION IN
RECOMMENDING THEM TO THEIR AF-
FLICTED FRIENDS.
THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE
THE BEST TONIC AND RECUPERATOR
KNOWN ; THEY BUILD UP THE SYSTEM
AND IMPART STRENGTH TO THE WEAK
AND EXHAUSTED, AND ARE ENDORSED
AND RECOMMENDED BY OUR MOST
EMINENT PHYSICIANS (as per certificates
on each bottle,) TO THOSE AFFLICTED
WITH DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION AND
LOSS OF APPETITE. As a blood purifier
they surpass all other so-caled tonics which
have lately been placed in the market.
No Family should be without them. SOLD
EVERYWHERE.

GRAND JURY REPORT.

We, the Grand jury, report that we
have Investigated the County Jail and
County Hospital and find both in bad
condition.
We recommend that a new floor be
laid in the Jail that the windows and
doors be made secure that the cells be
further ventilated; ; and Il stove pro, ,ided
for the Jail.
We further recommend and find it ne
cesSary to build Il new Hospital, believing
1t cheaper than to repair the old one.
In the case where the People of the
State of California are Plaintiffs and
Doung Hay Defendant, we, the Grand
Jury, find no bill.

JUNCTION CITY ON THE FoURTH.-
The ball at Stones Hotel on the night of
the Sd Of July was largely attended, the
best in fact Of any ball given there for
several years. About sixty tickets were
sold, some forty ladies were present and
dancing was continued until after day
break. Toward noon the company began
to assemble at the picnic ground, near
John Whitmore's residence. Under the
large spreading liveoak, at the foot of the
mountain, platform was laid and tables
set, and the ground, which had been well
leveed off and covered with saw-dust
the day previous, used as dancing floor.
Abundant cheer was provided and Il large
company was present during most of the
afternoon, enjoying themselves with
dancing and the singing of patriotic
songs.
MINING AT JUNCTION CITY.-From
what we could gather while at Junction
City on the 4th, we judge that the pres
ent season has been a very favorable one
for the miners of that locality. We did
not obtain any figures, but from the way
some of the boys chin5ed the twenties in
their pockets came to that conclusion.
We noticed that Hager & Haas have
stripped Il few acres to the bed rock, also
that Keno Flat presented quite differ
ent appearance from a year ago, and on
inquiry learned that both companies had
made good Winters work. The Sheri-
dan Brothers have also done we'll. Fisher
& Prater have had a good run Of water
this season, which means, Of course, a
good supplyo of dust. Chapman & Fisher
have worked two claims-in the lower
one they have stripped large extent Of
ground and made good pay; the upper
claim has been hard one to work, the
heavy powders in the top strata requiring
q great amount Of blasting and progress
has been slower than in the claims below,
but as the claim was fitted up in the best
style for mining, good progress was made
with results accordingly. Billy Lulo had
q mountain slide to contend with which
took good deal Of his spare time, but
his Winters work is not to be sneezed at
if we are informed rightly. Post & GLOW
er opened the Good Friday claim this
season. They had cement to contend with
for some distance, but managed to take
out few hundred dollars, and how have
as fine a bed Of gravel rs could be wished
with good sIuicing prospects. In two
tunnels which they run back, one fifty
and the other eighty feet from whore they
quit sluicing, the gravel continues and
prospects as we'll as on the edge. They
intend to put on Giant next year. We
did not lean results in claims down the
river further than the season has been q
most prosperous one to all.

BEARs.-Supervisor Bates tells us that
?. P. Black, Of Minersyille, spent his
4th Of July on hunting excursion. A
nest OF four bears was found and after
hard fight Mr.. Black killed three Of them,
but lost portion Of his clothing in the
atiray. He consoles himself, however,
with the tact that although he killed only
three bears, he got home with four.

FOURTH IN WEAyERv!LLE.-Although
it was generally conceded that the 4th
of July would be allowed to pass without
even q sign OF recognition from this COM
munity, it was nevertheless observed to
some extent and very pleasantly for all
who participated. A basket picnic was
gotten up on few hours notice, at the
grounds Of w. S. Lowden and Charles
Gnring, and proved an enjoyable affair.
The lunch spread by the ladies could not
have been surpassed with weeks of pre-
paration. 1t was ample and of a quality
which could not have been excelled. A
dance at the Theater, in the evening, was
sociable and pleasant, being attended by
more than fifty ladies.
