Bayard Taylor, in his interesting
work entitled "Home and Abroad" ,"
thus describes the telling of one of
the largest specimens of the Sierra
Nevada:
"Alter " a steady labor of six weeks
the thing was done, but the tree
stood unmoyed; so straight and
symmetrical was its growth, so i'm
mense was its weight, and so broad
its base, that it seemed unconscious
Of its own inhabitation, tossing its
outer branches derisively against
the mountain wind that strove to
overthrow it. A neighboring pine
of giant size was then selected, and
felled in such a way ms to fall with
full force against it. The top shook
Il little, but the shaft stood as be-
fore; finally the spoilers succeeded
in driving their wedge into the
cut. Gradually, and with great la
Dor, one side Of the tree was lifted;
the mighty mass poised for a mo-
ment, and then, with a great rush
ing sigh in all its boughs, thuudered
down. The forest was ground to
dust beneath it, and for a mile
around the earth shook with the
conclusion"
The mere telling of it cost, at
California prices for wages, the
sum Of 1850. The smooth top of
the stump Of the tree which Mr..
Taylor saw fall is a floor ninety
feet round.

All Worms Removed Alive.
Fact- Tor the Million.

The facts referred to in the above caption are
tn facts in relation TO the victories over disease
achieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That
renowned tonic is daily adding fresh laurels OF
popularity TO the great reputation which IL
long since obtained as a remedy for dyspepsia,
constipation, biliOusness, nervous disorders,
urinary troubles, intermittent and remittent
fevers, rheumatism and debility. and demon
strating to the satisfaction OF the public its
periority TO the palliatives which food the
market, and whose make-believe cures are
tTumpeted In manufactured testimonials.
II Is a subject Of honest pride TO the proprie-
tors OF Hostetter's Bitters, that no claims have
ever been advanced in Its behalf that could not
be corroborated by ample proofs, but most as
suredly had such been the case, they could
have expected nothing better than that pre-
paration bolstered mp by statements OF the
same stripe as those INDUCED in by the propri-
etors OF cheap local bitters and in alcoholic rub
bish, would speedily die OF hamilton. such has
been the fate OF thousands OF bepuffed shams,
rather less efieaeious than bilge water.
The success of the Bitters is attributable TO
their genuine excellence. The public has OBJ
served that what they are advertised to do,
they do, and that no incredible pretensions are
made ON this account. They have gained, and
will continue TO retain the confidence and re-
speet OF an enlightened community, fan too in
telligent to be long imposed upon by the Sham
Abrahamism OF INSCRIPTIONS quacks and dis
re putable speculators.
