SPORTING IN CALIFoRNIA.-As an evidence that California possesses unusual attractions for the sportsman, we need but refer to what one may see on almost any day at this season of the year during a walk along K-street, where most of the game and market stores of this city are located. While passing up the south side of that street, a day or two ago, we saw displayed the following kinds of wild game; Sandhill cranes, swans, honkers, gray geese, white geese, brant, mallard, canvass back, red-head, black jack, spoon bill, widgeon sprig Cor pin-taiD, blue and green winged teal and gray ducks, hares cotton-tail and bush rabbits, gray squirrels, English and robin snipe, black and gray curlew, quail, dove, and several other varieties of game which we can not now recall. All of these were killed in the vicinity of Sacramento. While many lov- CTS of field sports sadly mss the prairie chick ems, once so plentiful about the homes of their boyhood east of the Rocky Mountains, it can- not be said that they need be at loss for ex- cellent shooting in this or any other part of California, and it is doubtful whether there are many States in the Union which possess equal advantages in this respect It is no- ticeabe fact, too, that the small game above mentioned have not perceptibly decreased in point of numbers, notwithstanding nearly eve. " other man and boy one meets is the owner of the best gun and dog in the country and seldom misses an opportunity to bring them to bag. Quail particularly are yearly becoming more numerous in the valleys and foothills, and hundreds of coveys are bred every year in the thick brush which lines the banks of the Sacramento and American Rivers, up to the very outskirts of the city, while it is not an unusual occurrence for stray flock to come right into town, and take possession of some- body's garden-patch. Before the country was so thickly settled coyotes and other wild anil mals preyed upon the eggs and the young. and prevented any great increase. Now, however. these destructive pests are rarely found, and quail and rabbits are increasing in numbers every year. Sacramento Union.

A CLEAR INFERENCE.-u is too true that most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market emanate from men who can lay no just claim to a professional educa- ti0n, and who are, consequently, totally un- qualified to originate a really valuable prepara- tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one exception, at least, to this rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., the discoverer and proprietor of the popular medicine entitled the Favorite Reme- dy He is not a stranger in this region of the country, but regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of Rondout, where he has practiced his profession for eight years with degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Ken nedy is graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and was for three years surgeon in the Cnited States army during our late war. He has also been a member for several years of the Ulster County Medical Society As surgeon he has no superior in the State being siugularly bold, skillful and approximately succr ssful in his operations. Is ii not fair inference, We ask, that when surgeon, who has operated in so many vital cases and never lost one Ofthem, assures the people that the Favorte Remedy purifes the blood. thereby curing ScrOfula and all Scrofulous Affections, Bilious Disorders, Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bow els, as well as all that large class of ills pecu- liar to women-that they simply take him at hls word and are cured according to promise ? In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate to admit that part of his success in surgery is due to the use of the Favorite Remedy in the after treatment of the patient, which prersnted the return of the abnormal formations removed by the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients which had become de bilitated and weakened by disease.
 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the Favorte Remedy is recommended will hesitate moment to secure bottle and test the truth of what we herein allege. We are willing to pledge our veracity for it that none will be disappointed or deceived
 Eg-Dr Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is now for sale by all our druggists at one dollar bottle. 2.4W

Let us be thankful, that so good, useful, and rare man has lived here so long, We ought not to be sorry that he is gone He had serv- ed out his time. Why should we grieve when so ripe sheaf is gathered into Gods garner Eighty six yeasesis a long time to live on the earth Very few are good for much, in body or mind, after tEat; not many, indeed, up to that age, so far advanced; for, Eff our years be fourscore, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away"
 For Dr. Fowler, the appointed time had come 'sThe earthly house of his tabernacle' had got cd Who could wonder? The storms had been beating on it so long, that the walls were beginning to crumble; the doors were trembling on their hinges; the frosts of age had fallen on tower and turret decay and weakness were coming everywhere, and ''they that looked out of the windows, were soon to be darkened." It was his time to die He had done his life's work well, and now, at the close of that lise's long day, he was simply going home, like workman tried and ready for rest.

George Peabody and Socialism.

Some people imagine that rich men are
becomming more welded to riches, more
aggressive In the acquisition of wealth,
at the expense of the working classes.
Hence the agitation In favor of Social
ism. There may be grounds for this inn
agination, but we have yet In our midst
our Peter Cooper's, our George Pea
body's, and our Miss Nitingale's-who
think more of the welfare of the strug-
Cling classes than many are aware of,
aud who employ their time and money
in extending good to as many as posi-
BILE in their declining years. One of
those Is an old retired physician by the
name of j. p. Mountain, whose address
is Ogdensburgh, N. Y, who has placed
In his hands simple cure for consump-
ton, catarrh, asthma, headache and
nervousness. The old gentleman has
means which make him independent, and
he employs his time and money In very
laudable enterprise. He sends the recipe
free TO any person sending for IL, with
instructions for preparing and using, re-
quiring only that the party so sending
enclose stamp TO pay the postage. He
has now distributed over one million of
those recipes, and In this part may have
been cured by the use of the same. IL Is
said to be very reliable, and those who
are troubled with any of those diseases
would do we'll to address the philanthro-
pic old gentleman, and have a trial of
the recipe, which has cured so many.

the minds of some veterans present,
some had been in the BATTLE of the
Clouds others had suffered before
Charleston, and you had but to
mention some prominent battle or
siege, and some one present could
give you personal "reminiscences of
the affair.
About eight o'clock the Chair
man, III. s. Seagc, called the meet
ing TO order, and after Il prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Donnelley, the con
stitution of the society was read
by the Secretary, G. b. Greeley,
and the election of officers for the
ensuing term was held; with the
following result:
Captain.-H. S. Soage.
First Lieut.-H. u. Marsh.
Second Lieut.. u. Plunkett.
Quartermaster.- b. Greeley.
When the result Of the election
had been announced, the choir
sang America and James j. Pot
ter was appointed historian for the
next meeting, the subject of his re-
marks to be His experience at
Andersonville prison, and his es-
cape therefrom." The chairman
then introduced the historian of
the evening, Mr.. #. S. Goodrich,
who gave a graphic account of an
attack on the rebel fort on Morris
Island, and description of the
erection of the swamp angel and
its doings. Mr.. Goodrich's des-
cription of the charge was spir-
tied one, and was intensely inter-
esting. His remarks were inter-
spersed with many humorous incl
dents, and when he had finished, n
person could hardly help but wish
it had been longer.
After Mr. Goodrich's remarks,
the choir sang "Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground" and then ii. S
Seage being called upon for few
remarks, be responded by giving Q
lively account of the charge across
the Potomac, an incident that was
well related.
About this part of the proceed
ings, the Alpena Guards Band, who
had just returned from their seren-
ade in the Third ward, were called
on for n selection, and they res,
ponded by playing in admirable
style, much to the delight of the
audience, the medley known as
"Splinters." A vote Of thanks was
rendered to the band.
The meeting then adjourned
subject to the call of the captain.
If the veterans have any meet
ings in the future, similar to the
one just held, it is hoped that they
will not forget to allow the citizens
to be present, as we are inclined &c
believe, judging from the last meet
ing, that the citizens generally
will only be too glad to attend and
hear the stirring events of battle
and siege, told by those who took
parts therein.

Ozone for June.

A new disinfectant recommend
ed in the British Medical Journal
for use in hospitals, and to destroy
the poison germs of small pox,
scarlet fever, and other infectious
diseases, is composed of one part
Of rectilied oil of turpentine, and
seven parts of benzine. with the
addition of five drops of verbena
to each ounce. Its purifying and
disinfecting properties are due to
the power which is possessed by
each of the ingredients of absorb
ing atmospheric oxygen, and con-
verting it into peroxide of HYDRO
gen--a highly active oxidizing
agent, and very similar in its ma
ture to ozone. Articles of cloth
ing, furniture, wallpaper, carpet
ing, books, newspapers, letters, etc,
may be perfectly saturated with it
without receiving the slightest in
jury, and when it has been once
freely applied to any rough or
porous surface, it's action will be
persistent for an indefinite period.
The following will show the con-
dition Of ozone at Alpena for the
month of June, 1879:

Lawn Festival.

A very pleasant and successful
lawn festival took place last week
on the lawn at The residence of w.
II. Potter, on Washington avenue.
The lawn was brilliantly lit up by
lamps, whose lights threw the trees,
tables, etc., in bold relief, and gave
the scene an appearance well worth
seeing. Over the gates, arches
were erected, on which, in trans
parencies, were the word swell
come" Numerous tables where
ice cream, strawberries, lemonade,
etc, could be obtained, were placed
among the trees on the lawn. A
large bonfire blazed cheerfully in
the rear of the lawn, and not far
from it was curiosity shop. The
Alpena Guards band furnished the
necessary music. The lawn festi-
val was well patronized 10y the cit
izens, and a very agreeable time
was passed by those who were
present. The lawn festivals are
the prettiest and most delightful
species of amuscments that have
been given in this place.
