There is talk of another grand leap vear party before Lent. The annual meeting cf the Coast Line Railroad Company takes place to-day week. Henry Mustick had the first asparagus of the season in market yesterday. Mr. Dunbar Paul, a prominent merchant of Charleston, is dead, aged 85 years. Our military friends will find our special notice columu this morniug of interest. The St. John’s Female Orphan Asylum is being thoroughly repaired and repainted. . ,ppli<__ tions for lodging at the police barracks last night. Tho stirring strains of the fife and drum and martial music will be borne upon the breezes to-day. We understand that quite a number of tickets have been sold in Savannah to the New Orleans carnival. We understand that the corner stone of the new Hebrew Synagogue will be laid on next Monday afternoon. General Stephen D. Lee, of Confederate fame, will command the parade of the mili tary in Charleston to-day. The Railroad Mutual Building and Loan Association, at their meeting last night, sold $5,000 at 20 per cent, premium. The Police Court matinee yesterday was attended by nine unfortunates and the city exchequer was considerably benefited. The many friends of Dr. E. W. Marsh, popular with all the patrons of Solomons A Co.’s drug store, will regret to learn that he is seriously ill. There are at present one hundred and twenty-five persons registered at the county jail, fifty of whom are doing good service on the chain gang. We were pleased to find Mr. John D. Ross, the efficient clerk at the Ordinary’s office, again at bis post yesterday, after a serious spell of bilious fe\*er^ Savannah pays nearly $50,000 for lighting her streets with gas, and yet with kerosene the cost would not be over ?5,000 per annum. How is this fur retrenchment ? Gen. Geo. P. Harrison, Clerk of the Su perior Court, returned home yesterday. We understand that his trip to Alabama has materially improved his health. The Marine Hospital has been removed to the late Barry Male Orphan Asylum build ing. The premises are being improved by the addition of new’ piazzas and other con veniences. William Smith, colored, was up before Magistrate Russell yesterday, charged with assaulting a colored woman, but as the womau. prosecutrix failed to put in an appearance the magistrate discharged the prisoner. It would seem that photography has al most superceded the beautiful art of portrait painting, as, if we are not mistaken, Mr. J. M. Dennis, corner of Whitaker and Congress street lane, is the only artist in Savannah. “Inquirer,” we cannot iuform you whether excursionists to the fleet at Port Royal carry field glasses or opera glasses; either are good; but wo think the last party got along well with simply the “regulation” tumbler. Magistrate Russell yesterday issued an attachment against four rafts of timber. But it subsequently appearing that the de fendant is a non-resident of Chatham coiiutv, the matter was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Dauiel Clancey was arrested for assault ami battery upon Mary Auu Camming aud appealed before Magistrate Abrams for an examination yesterday, when tho prosecu trix admitted she had sworn falsely and the case was dismissed. Mr. J. M. Dennis, at the corner of Whita ker and Congress street lane, and who is a most talented artist, is about finishing a splendid large portrait of Captain John W. Anderson tor the Republican Blues. It is painted from a photograph. Tho “professional juror” who pranced to the court house yesterday in anticipation of tho Superior Court beiug in session, was sadly disappointed upon learning the ad journment held good until the 28th in stead of the 21st. Those who propose attending any of the military hops or balls to-night, need not forgot that they will have ample time to go first to the Theatre, to hear Josh Bil lings, tho great humorist, on the occasion of his first aud only appearance in Savan nah. We see a paragraph to the effect that the celebrated horse tamer, Prof. Sample, who was in Savannah for some time last winter and made many friends here, recently met his match in* a horse in Virginia. He worried over him a week, and then could do uothiug with him. George Jones, Ellen Hopkins, Susan Jones Sampson Jones and Diana Jones, colored, beating one “Judge” Hopkins Saturday • ‘ Mi night, were before Magistrate Abrams yes terday, and gave bonds for their appear ance.* The affair partook of the character of a lively domestic matinee. A “grand supper” ij to be given by “a party of ladies and gentlemen,” colored, next week at one of the balls of the colored troopers. It is reported that the affair is to be strictly of the creme dt‘ la creme of colored society, and only the “O. K.” of societe (TAfrit]ue will bo admitted. This is as it should be, as it is harrowing t3 think of bringing a high-toned barber in contact with the son oralaughter of a drayman. THE CELEBRATION TO-DAY. A General I'arade—.Military Movements. Our military do honor to-day to the mem ory of the illustrious Virginian and Ameri can, the statesman, warrior aud gentleman, General George Washington. Should the weathor prove fair, and tho indications are favorable at this writing, the display will bo one of tbe finest witnessed in Savannah on any 22d of February. During tbe past few weeks tbe several companies have been pre paring for the event, aud tbe effort will be to get out the largest number in tbe ranks. We are informed that tbe parade will be general, that is the Artillery, Hussars and Guards will unite with the First Regiment, the brigade being under command of Col. Olmstead. This arrangement will afford much satis faction, as the desire is general to see tho entire military force in one procession. Tho display will be far more imposing. After a parade through the streets and a review at the l’ark, the brigade will be dis missed, aud tbe several companies will pro ceed to enjoy themselves in accordance with previous arrangements. The Blues will entertain the Chatham Ar tillery at their armory, at a noon collation, aud in the evening tbeCbathams will return th<* compliment by punching the “ Blues.” Tho Guards will have their usual lunch, and a grand ball at the Masonic Temple in the evening. The Hussars—those dashing feliows, full of fun and frolic. Well, after their parade and exercise—they will, oh! You may know they will have “a good time,” so there is no use mentioning it. The Jasper Greens will refresh themselves after the parade, and in the ovening will have a delightful hop at their new armory in Masonic Hall, corner of Bull and Brough ton streets. Tho Johnstons aud German Volunteers will, of course, mark the occasion with some conviviality. The Cadets and Oglethorpes will fraternize over tho flowing bowl at their armory. Altogether the celebration promises to be productive of much pleasure and enjoy ment. A Fine Enterlnliiiiirnt. To-raorrow (Wednesday) evening Mr. Frank Mayo appears at the Savannah Theatre in his inimitable role of “Davy Crockett,” tho backwoods hero. The char acter has never been preseLted in this city before, nor is Mr. Mayo himself well known except by the wide-spread reputation that his acting has created for him, but bo comes warmly endorsed by the press of the coun try as a perfect artist, and his “Crockett” is described as a remarkable illustration of pure dramatic art. The Detroit Frt e Press says: “Mr. Mayo’s ‘Crockett’ is the crysta- liz'ed excellence of ripe experience, of a genius for character acting, and of either extraordinary intuition or a consummate knowledge of human nature. It matters little by what process he has accomplished his work. It speaks for itself, Lnd men and women will continue to gaze upon this pic ture of rare and rugged beauty with ever growing delight and without once paus- — ... iii.mipn nr Aflrinrr Fn Irnntr tvliat Vila ing to inquire or caring to know what his art is. If it were desirable to know this, the answer might be that it consists simply in doing what he has to do naturally, abso lutely independent of and possibly uncon scious of surroundings. If to bold tbe mirror up to nature be the true office of the actor, then Mr. Mayo lias reached 4he summit of dramatic excellence in his portrayal of ‘Davy Crockett;’ and not all the criticism of all tile learned critics of time past, time present aud time to come can displace one atom from its firm place in the structure he has reared. It rests upon a foundation that cannot be shaken, and its parts are joined together with the skill and the sure eye of the cunning builder. We hail it as an ele vating and gentle example to hnman kind, and salute Mr. Mayo in the profoundest ad miration for those gifts which enable him to present tbe example in such vivid colors.” Mr. Mayo will appear but two nights—to morrow’ night and Thursday night.

Washington as a I.oiar. May I offer you, Mr. Editor, for the col umns of your paper on this anniversary of Washington’s birthday, a grouping to gether, from historic record and credible tradition, of the youthful attachments of our great hero, the affaires du ceasr into which his susceptible nature led him, those painful yet sweet harassments of soul that female charms awoke in his heart V Can it be, you say, that this stern and dignified character, even in his boyish days or the early years of manhood, gave vent to love’s pleadings, or so much as felt its delicious tormentiogs? Did this model youth and gallant gentleman indulge the roman tic dreams of youthful love, Bigh over faces and forms that haunted his loneliness, aud even leave on record, without a blush for his weakness, evidences, of his suffering. Strange, but true! This Wash ington, cold, grave, lofty, imperturbable- let us contemplate him In yooth, spending no few thoughts in love’s day-dreams, and no little time inditing verses to haughty beauties, sighing in solitude over hopeless love, the more hopeless because he was too shy to *ell it, aud stifling his passion some times with groans aud tears ! This is, indeed, the picture of his early Most people think of him as always life. the staid and stiff man, a model of public and private proprieties, settling down in life after his colonial military service because it was time to do so, and marrying, as a mat ter of course, a handsome widow that he chanced to meet, because they were both past the age of sentiment, and because she was rich as well as handsome. Not a bit of it! Tbe ten busy years of his later youth and his early manhood were varied by more than one episode of tender sentiment, or torturing love-sickness, or even of tumultu ous passion. The human heart is the same in all breasts, whether it opens its feelings to public gaze or hedges itself behind cold or simulated mauners. No slowness of perception, nor gravity of demeanor, nor coldness of tem per, nor sluggishness of feeling, can with stand the tide of the “tender passion,” and with Washington, least of all men, though we may be surprised to kuow it, was the rule an exception. Five sweethearts, that we know of, iu the dozen years from b y- hood to marriage, filled his eye and stirred his soul. Pretty well for a young man that wo think so unromantic. Every boy, we take it, has a first love, generally an early oae, aud usually an oiler one than himself. So it was with Washington. His first boy ish heart-wound, that seemed hardest to heal, was inflicted by tho “Lowland Beauty,” as he typities tbe fair maiden, whose real name never appears iu his MSS. It was as early as 174G, before ho was fifteen years old, aud while he was still at school, study ing geometry aud surveying. These dry studies were relieved by the sweet pangs even of a hopeless love. If he ever ven tured to make known to herself his boyish feelings, which his shyness makes unite improbable, tho “Lowland Beauty” may nave responded to his sighs and sighed iu turn; or, more likely, if older than he, she regarded him as a raw school boy. and mocked his protestations aud laugh ed at his verses. Tho latter she might] well do, for his amorous lines make paltry aud limping verses, abortive enough to discourage anyone but a very youthful lover. We cannot doubt the reality of his passion; it lasted for years, and the pages of his journal, while lie was residing wi»h his brother Lawrence at Mt. Vernon, or I was buiied in the woods around Green way Court, reveal tbe gnef that time nor abseuce could obliterate or conceal. In Irving’s pages we catch a glimpse of the ssd state of a woe-worn lover, “sighing like a furuace,”l or “crossed in hopeless love.” It is not an uninteresting coincidence in the ebain of circumstances connecting the lives of Washington and our Leo, that well- founded tradition identifies tho “Lowland Beamy” with the charming Lucy Gryn&es, of Middlesex, who, five or six years after Washington’s plaintive wooiugs, m irried her cousin, Henry Lee, aud became tho mother or “ Light Horse Harry,” and so the grandmother of Robert E. Lee. They were married December 1, 1753, and lived at Lee- svlvania, the husband’s seat in Prince William. Tho old feeling iu Washington’s heart had yielded to late, but its delicacy an I refined seutiment still remained. It hail stifled a new interest that threatened to grow up strongly for his second sweetheart, and its happy memories served to win Washington's coustaut favor, twenty years afterwards, towards their great sou, Henry Lee, Jr. His fondness for this young General, I cannot be mistaken in ascribing to tbe love and admiration be bad in his boyish days for the mother. Recollect Lee’s youth when the revulsion began; born in 1750; a Captain of cavalry at twenty; at twenty-one tbe chief of Washington’s body guard; at twenty-two a Major under Wayne at Stony Point, receiving for his services at Paulus Hook the thanks of Congress and a gold medal, a distinction that no other officer below the rank of General received during the war; Lieutenant Colonel at twenty-four of a legioD, raised ex pressly for him by advice of General Charles Lee, aud at Washington’s per sonal intercession to Congress; look at his wonderful career with Greene in the South in the next two years, and remember that all his honors were gained when he was just turned of twenty-five, and I think wo need some other explanation of his good luck than his own merits, great as they were. This explanation 1 believe to have been Washington’s interest in him, as tho Ison of die “Lowland Beauty,” which prompted him to give his meritorious young officer every opportunity for advancement, aud to follow him constantly with Ids sympathy and help. II. The next pretty face that made Wash ington’s heart iluiter was that of Mary Cary, of “Coleys,"’ in Elizabeth City county, near Hampton. This affair, singular to say, fol lowed so soon on the previous one, deep as was its impression, as rather to be rebuked by it; and thus the growth of a deeper feeling was probably hindered. Miss Cary was the sister of Mrs. George William Fairfax, and she was spending much of her time at Belvoir, tho seat of the Fairfaxes, near Mount Vernon. Young Washington was often a guest of tnis happy homestead, and thus in tho society of Miss Cary, the new feeling was likely quickly to supplaut the old. I have no idea tnat he courted Miss Cary, and his extreme youth, for he was just turned sixteen, forbids me to credit tbe tradition that the bash ful lad the next vear ventured to visit “Celeys,” and asked old Wilson Cary for permission to address his daughter—mind you, not “to have her,” but for “leave to court her”—a respectful pre caution that not many young men now-a- days take, and was extinguished by the sharp reply, which left nothing more to be said: “If that is your business here, young man, I wish you lo leave the house, for my daughter has been used to ride iu her own coach.” I discredit this story for another reason; under no circumstances could such a supercilious and shoddy speech have come from the mouth of a Virginia gentleman of the olden time. The fox hunting and hard riding of Wash ington’s rough life with old Lord Fairfax, kept him much away from Bel\oir, and the return of Miss Cary to the lowcouutry sepa rated them for good. Just then our hero went into the wilderness to survey Lord Fairfax’s vast domain, and carried with him in the wilds of the Shenandoah valley tho visions of the sweet face aud bright eyes that had enchanted him at Belvoir. Miss Cary married Mr. Edward Ambler, of Jamestown, a gentlemen of high position iu the colony, and lived to see her quondam admirer crowned with the honors of the revolution at the conquest of York town. A traditional anecdote relates that she was in Williamsburg when General Washington passed through that city at the close of the war. As he recognized her iu the crowd, his sword waved to her a military salute, aud the rush of feeling was so great that she is said to have faiuted. HI. The third maiden, whom tradition reports as ensnariug the heart of the sus ceptible Washington, was Elizabeth Fauntle- roy, of the Northern Neck on the Rappa hannock. She was of a Huguenot family which came to the colony before the Datanes, the Fontaines and the Mauryg, as we find the first of tbe family settled in tbe Northern Neck before 1(151. Washington’s acquaintance with her is a very obscure tradition, tbe year even being doubtful, aud none of the circumstances are now verifi able. She was the first woman whoso hand he actually asked, but she flatly rejected his suit, and if she were ambitions, made a great mistake iu marrying a Mr. Adams ou James River, and thus lost the chance of being the honored wife of the Pater Patriie. IV. His next unsuccessful suit was for the band of Mary Philipse, of Philipse Manor, on tho Hudson. She was the sister of the wife of Beverley Robinson, an early friend of Washington, aud son of the fa mous John Robinson, Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Beverly Robinson had married one of the Philipse heiresses, and built in 1750 a fine country sext on the Hudson named “Bever ley,” after his mother, (one of that Virginia family). A picture of this house and a sketch of the Robinson family may be seen in a recent number of Appleton's Journal. It was here that the traitor, Arnold, had iiis headquarters and carried on his corre spondence with Andre. The meeting of Col. Washington and Miss Philipse came about in a very natural way. A military visit to Boston was necessary to meet Geu. Shirley, and the youflg Colonel, fresh from the honors he’ had gained under Braddock, set out with his aides- de-camp, and his black servants in livery, for that distant city. His tour was an ovation, for his name and fame had pre ceded him to New England. On his return through New York, ho stopped to see his old schoolmate, and there, as on a similar visit to Belvoir, he saw the beautiful sister of his hostess. Tender-hearted young man ! he could withstand Indian bullets, but not beauty* glances, and tbe shafts of love pierced him again through and through. 'The story is told by Irving, but no bargain was made. His diffidence withheld him from so speedy a declaration his time left him, or he failed to make the necessary impression on the gay New Yorker, or else in his absence his fine' figure and bis brilliant name were effaced from her memory by the warm attention* of his gallant comrade on Braddock’s staff, Capt. Roger Morris. At all events be returned to Virginia, and never saw her again. It was, doubtless, & bitter piece of news to Washington, when preparing for the new campaign in Virginia, that his fourth sweet heart bad become Mrs. Morris ; but infi nitely more bitter to them, was an incident in tbe far distant future, when the great sol dier, just twenty years later, as leader of the American army, occupied Morris’s splendid mansion, at Harlem, as his headquarters, his former lady-love and her husband, his once intimate friend, themselves fugitives from their home, and proscribed enemies of America. Perhaps we ought not to be surprised that Washington had such hard luck with the ladies. We must not forget that he was a bashful man, not fond of gay society, and unused to fashionable life; not wealthy, nor as yet connected with the ruling fam’iles in Virginia, and had not received a college education, or its equivalent at the English f mblic schools. His outdoor life had eft no leisure for the cultivation of those winning manners that charm women, and his modesty restrained him from those bold demonstrations and impetuous solicitations that take female hearts by a coup de main. We need cot regret his defeats; matrimony was to coiae ami patrimony with it, to give him the neces sary independence of the world and to crown with the blessings of wealth a character that needed no other auxiliary to happiness. And this was to be with a woman infe rior to none of his youthful loves, and to be brought about by a similar accident to those which bad introduced him to Miss Cary and to Miss Philipse. IV. She, for whom he was destined, was, at the time he was vainly trying to woo a bride, a happy wife and mother at tbe White House ou tbe Pamunkey. Martha Dan- dridge, in her seventeenth year, was married to Daniel Parke Custis (not John, as Irving gives the name,) and after a short married life was left a fair, fascinating and rich widow, in her twentv-fourth year. Let us see how the destined couple were brought together. The accident of tbe Virginia Council’s failing to send supplies for Washington’s two regiments, which necessitated his hasty visit to Wil liamsburg in the spring of 1758; the acci- d» nt of his meeting an old friend, Mr. Cham- berlayne, as he crossed the Pamunkey ferry, acd his being detained for dinner much against his will; and the accident of the young widow Castis being then the guest of tho Chamberlaynes, are all tbe circum stances necessary to bring about a marriage which Providence has designed. Tbe two met. It was & case of mutual love on sight. Perhaps tbe tradition is true that Mrs. Custis was m face and figure a fac simile—as a contemporary, who knew both, says, a twin sister—of Mary Cary. If so, the sweet memories of the old love, blended with tbe bright attractions of tbe new, tbe visit to Williamsburg was forgotten, tho widow’s charms aud conversation prolonged tbe dinner into the afternoon, and so the night coming on, he made a willing virtue of necessity and stayed. Not till late the next day did he quit tho hospitable mansion; but ere be left, as if remembering his experience with the maiden of Philipse manor, he bad pressed his suit so successfully that they had plighted mu tual vows, the marriage to take place on his return from the Fori Duquesno expedition. TLey were separated till near the close of the year. In its last weeks the preparations wore made, and the grand pageant which tilled St. Peter’s Church, in New Kent, on tbe Ctb of Jauuary, 1759, came to grace the bridal train of George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis. An elaborate painting of the raarriago scene still hangs iu one of the old mansious of Virginia, aud I will close this already long article with tho following description of it. by & more eloquent pen than mine: “Tbe sceue is laid iu the ancient parish- church of 8t. Peter’s, county of New Kent, colony of Virginia, time Gth of January. 1759. “In the foreground, and near the altar, appears the Rev. Dr. Mossom, the officiating clergymau, in fall canonicals; he is about to present the marriage ring. The bride groom is iu a suit of blue and silver, lined with red silk, embroidered waistcoat, small clothes, gold shoe and knee buckles, dress- sword, hair iu full powder; the bride iu a suit of white satm, rich point-lace ruffles, pearl ornamouts in her hair, pearl necklace, ear-rings aud bracelets, white satin high heeled shoes, with diamond buckles. She is attended by a group of ladies in the gorgeous costumes of that ancient period. Near to the bridegroom is a brilliant group, comprising the viceregal Governor of Vir ginia, several English army and navy officers, then in colonial service, with the very elite of Virgiuia chivalry of the old \regimeThe Governor is in a suit of scarlet, embroidered with gold, with bag-wig and sword—tho gentlemen in the fashion of the Itirae. “But amoflg the most interesting and picturesque of tho personages in the various groups is Bishop, the celebrated body ser- vaut of Braddock, and then Washington, with whom be ended bis days, after service of more than forty years. This veteran sol dier of the wars o*f Geonre II. firms a proper study in the picture. His tall, attenuated form and soldierly bearing, as with folded arms aud cocked hat in hand respectfully, he has approached the bridal group, give a touching interest to tbe whole scene. He is in a scarlet coat, aud is booted aq»l spurred, having just dismounted and relin quished the favorite charger of his chief to a groom. “Through the large foldiDg-doors of the church is seen the old-fashioned coach of the bride, drawn by six horses; also, the fine English charger bequeathed to Wash ington by Braddock after the fatal field of the Monongahela. From the account of the marriage, handed down from those who were present at its celebration, it appears that the bride and her ladies occupied the coach; while the provincial colonel rode his spirited charger, attended by a splendid cortege of the gay aud gallant of the laud. iSach was Washington’s marriage in 1759.” A loving and happy marriage such as these gay scenes witnessed, lacking but three weeks of forty-one years, based on high esteem and supreme affection, marred by no disputes, grave or trivial, and undis turbed even by one modern cutse—incom patibility of temper—is not so frequent in Ithese days that wo may not stop to admire it. Their faithful affection, loving concord and mutual happiness attest that these two jhearts were eacn the other’s true mate, and that this marriage, if any ever was, was made iu Heaven. * W. S. B. Enilies Insulted in Fornyth Park. Yesterday evening, about six o’clock, a scene occurred in Forsyth Park, which, bnt for the prompt appearance of the policeman on duty there, would, in all probability, have resulted in the serious discomfiturs of au impertinent individual. Tbe affair was the occasion of considerable indignation and excitement. It appears that several young ladies, daughters of well known citizens, were standing around tbe fountain, engaged in mirthful conversation, when & young man named Simpson, a drummer from a Philadelphia house, in company with a fel- traveler, appproached them. It is low stated that ho had been following them ~~ I the park previously. On reaching ]the young ladies Simpson spoke to them in a careless manner, and attempted familiarity with one of them by touching her on the arm or shoulder. The ladies moved off iu much indignation, when he edged towards them. Fortunately at this moment one of ihe young ladies espied her brother with some friends, and hastening towards him apprized him of tho occurrence. Simpson’s companion offered no insult, and had no further connection with the affair than to beiu that individual’s company. The brother of the lady at once approachod Simpson and iuquired what he meant by insulting laaies. Simpson replied that ho had not done so, when the young man, with au ■■phatic epithet, let his dexter arm loose, l the “commercial traveler” went to grass. Before the incensed brother conld repeat the blow the policeman appeared and arrested them both. They were carried to the barracks aud gave bonds foi tbeir appearance at the Police Court this morn- American Wrecking Vewrl at Nassau. The Nassau Herald of the 16th instant has the following: “The American wrecking jteamer ‘B A J. Baker,’ O. L. D. Baker commander, arrived in our harbor yesterday from Key West, and has, we bear, gone to render assistance to the wrecked steamer ‘City of Galveston. “We should like to know by authority of what act of Assembly any American vessel can come into Bahamian* waters and act a salvor of wrecked property V We must be very zealous in protecting our rights, for we think it is about time that some immediate action should be taken to stop this or any other encroachment on our wrecking privi leges. “There seems to be a certain clique of per sons in this country who do just as they please, in defiance of all laws and everything else; as long as they get their ends served, they don’t care who sinks or who swims, and unless some cheek is at once put on them, they will become too great a power in the land. “If an American vessel ig once allowed to come here salving wrecked property, it will establish a precedent, and then good-bye to Bahamian vessels. “Does any one suppose for a moment, that any British vessel would be allowed to go wrecking on the American coast ? Then why allow American vessels to come on our cost. “Action in this matter at once is eminently necessary.” City Coart. Judge Walter S. Chisholm, presiding. Court convened yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock for the trial of criminal cases, when the following were disposed of : State vs. Handy Whitehead and Robert E. Williams. Seven cases of simple larceny.

The regular monthly meeting of the Sa vannah Christian Association was held at their rooms last evening. The attendance was quite large, and the occasion was ren dered very interesting by an eloauent and- instructive essay, read by Rev. Dr. E.

The rooms of this useful association are opened nightly, and are supplied with a fair library and a large selection of periodical literature.

Robust people, who have, ail their lives, eaten, digested and slept weit, can scarcely be expected to appreciate the blessing of strong nerves as well as those who, having undergone all the misery entailed by weak oues, have eventually regained their nerve power. In order to experience the unspeakable relief of a change from an enfeebled and unrestful to a vigorous and tranquil condition of tbe nervous system, the nervous invalid should try a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Under the bracing and soothing influence of that benign tonic aud nervine, appetite returns, diges tion becomes complete and painless, and steep revisits weary eyes.
