The Stepping stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the stepping
stone to health, When the system lacks vitality,
the various organs flag in their duty, become
chemically irregular, AID disease is eventually
Instituted. To prevent this unhappy state of
things, the debiliiated system should be built up
b! the use Of that inimitable tonic, HOstetter's
stomach Bitters which inyigorates the digestive
organs, and insures the thorough conversion OF
food into blood of nourishinS quality, from
whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire
unwontsd supplies Of vigor, and the whole sys-
TEN experiences the beneficial effect. Appetite
returns, the nerves grow staong and calm, the
dependency begot,en Of chronic indigestion and
IN uncertain state of health disappears, and
mat sallow appearance Of the skin, peculiar to
habitAal invalids, and persons deficient In vital
sns-gy, is replaced by more becoming tinse.

The Democratic County Ticket.

The County ticket brought out by the
Democratic County Convention, on Satur-
day last, caused considerable dissatisfac-
ton inside of the party. 1t is claimed by
many, that, with very few exceptions, it is
very weak ticket, and that the action OF
the Convection did not fairly represent or
reflect the sentiments or wishes of the par
ty. The defeat OF j. d. McCaman, who
appeared to be the first choice of the peo-
pie, for County Treasurer, irrespective OF
party, is severely criticised and very gen
erally condemned. The ''sugar PLUM
offered to McCaman in the shape of a NOM
nation to the Territorial Legislature, we
are informed, is very properly and indig-
nantly refused by both McCaman and his
friends. McCaman has sense enough to
know that he is not cut out for the Legis-
lature, and positively declines to run.
We reserve comments, in regard to the
merits or dement's Of the respective nomi-
nees. for subsequent issue Of the COURIER.
