THERE is so much beauty and artisN

of the 44tdine, no lover of the fine arts
can well afford to allow it to remain a
closed book. The promise held out for
the New Year, in the January number,
of a volume of surprising worth and
taste, is sustained in this issue. A
dozen beautiful pictures embellish its
pages, more than half of which are
original American views. The litera-

Source Of Many Ills.

If all the ailments, bodily and mental, which
torment the human family could be traced to
their primary sources, it would probably be
found that three-fourths of them originated in
the failure of the stomach and the other organs
by which the food is converted into nutrment
and applied to the purposes of life, to perform
the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorously
and 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 Btters may be truly characterized
as preparation OF this kind indeed as the only
one which can be implicitly relied on as combin-
ing the properties Of stomachic, an Alternative
and an aperient in such proportions as to pro-
duce simultaneously the desired effect upon the
disordered stomach, liver, and ntestines. This
conclusion Is warranted by the celerity and cer-
tanty with which the Bltters affords relief in
chronic cases Of dyspepsia, torpidty Of the liver
and constipation. The false idea that these
complaints and others that grow out Of them
could be cured by fierce cathartics, 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 f,lled
tnereOy. Dut ever since the prlnclple OF renOva-
ton, rs embodied in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was arrayed against the principle Of prostration,
as represented by mineral salivants and furious
purgatives, the hitter 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
gustng and dangerous compounds has only
served to increase the demand of the wholesome
stmulant, tonic and Alternative which for twenty
five years triumphed over all opposition, and is
now the most popular medicine in the Western

CAL1roRNrA CRoPs.-We have received from
the Commissioner of Agriculture. of the depart
ment at Washington, D. c., q copy Of his re-
port for the month ending September 3Oth,
1874. In this report the condition Of the various
cereals in California, for September, are repre-
sented, in comparison with average yields, by
the following rates per cent: Corn 105; wheat,
l04; rye, 100; oats. 1O3; barley, 101; buckwheat,
s6; potatoes, 90; sweet potatoes. 100; tobacco,
lOl; cotton, 1876; hay, 1872; beans. 100; hope,
lO5; apples. 50; grapes. 100; and peaches, 90.
The yield of wool is put down, compared with
an average clip, at 101. Stock hogs are rated at
l01; and hogs for fattening at 96. 1t is inter-
esting to notice that cotton, a comparatively
new product of the country, has done better
this last. compared with other years, than any
other crop.

window, and finding the doors to other parts Of

TIE rush of immigration to California is
greater this Fall, than at any time since the

why they are all rushing to the Southern coun-

have been expended in advertising those coun-
ties, and their advantages. throughout all the
Eastern States and even Europe. 1t is no un-
common thing for land owner, in Santa Barba-

wholesale rates, for from ten to fifty copies Of
their local paper, and send them East, or to the

in Placer county an election will or should, be
held this Saturday. between the;hours of one and

not be; every man who pays taxes and travels

enough to use his influence ID having his

on such roads. To do this good man, in every
way competent, must be elected to the position
OF Road Master. A full expression of the voters
in district are apt to speak in favor OF such .
man. Let us then in to-day's election have
full expression in every district in the COUNTY.

who is thoroughly acquainted with coal mining,
will act as Superintendent OF the mine while his

which we anticipated for Lincoln, ~ . result Of
