Recently an enterprising lover wa9 condemned by a New York Court to pay a fine of $20 for having embraced a widow lady against her will. It appears that the people of Canada pot a still higher price upon kisses enatohed from their belles. The following is from the Canada Cour ier : "Not long ago, in a parish below Quebec, a young man of nineteen years, named G. A., ■wishing to testify the affection with which a damsel of the neighborhood had inspired him, seized her as she was going quietly along the public way, and in spite of her resistance gave her a salute upon the cheek. The young girl, being unaccustomed to this sort of treatment, and a little offended by the manner of the deed, brought a civil action against him ; but, before the cause came to trial, by an amicable arrange ment she compromised the matter for $50. In truth, it is paying a little dear for the pleasure found in a kiss!" Important advices reach us from Mexico by way of New Orleans, at which port the steam ship Austin has arrived, from Brazos on the 30th alt. A battle was fought on the 10th at Lagos, between Miramon and Degollado. Mira tnon, with twenty-eight hundred men, attempted to cut his way through Degollado's forces, by which he was surrounded. The fight lasted five days, and resulted in Degollado's favor. Mira mon was wounded, bnt succeeded in making his escape with a few of his cavalry. He lost all his artillery, however, and tbe remainder of bis army were taken prisoners. Miramon, at last accounts, was in full flight. The news is to be received, like all Mexican intelligence, with im portant allowances for probable exaggeration.

The proprietors and manufacturers of HOS TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to physicians and citizens generally of the United States, because the article has attained a repu tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Bk ters for the last year amounted to over a half million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is evident that during the coming year the consumption will reach near one million bottles. This immense amount could never have been sold but for the rare medicinal properties contained in the prepara tion, and tbe sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is beat known, who not only recommend the Bitters to their patients, but are ready at all times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all cases of stomachic derangements and the diseases resulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popularity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined to be as enduring as time itself. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other bilious complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To be able to state confidently that the "Bitters" are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a source of un alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood, and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system, giving it that tone and energy indispensable for the restoration of health. It operates upon the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, and soon restores then? to a condition essential to the healthy discharge of the functions of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters dally aa per directions on the bottle, and they will find in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvenating generally. We have the evi dence of thousands of aged men and women who have experienced the benefit of using this preparation while suffering from stomach de rangements and general debility; acting under the advice of physicians, they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the merits of this article. A few words to the gentler sex. There are certain periods when their cares are so harassing that many of them gink under the trial. The relation of mother and child is so absorbingly tender, that the mother, especially if she be young, is apt to forget her own health in her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive during the summer season, the wear of body and mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recupe rate the energies of the system, and enable the mother to bear up under her exhausting trials and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora tors that receive the endorsement of physi cians, because it is agreeable to the tast 3 as well as certain to give a permanent of bodily strength. All those persons, to whom we have particu larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or derangements of the stomach, superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult their own physical welfare by giving to Hos tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial. CAUTION.—We caution the public against using any of the many imitations or counter feits, but ask for Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitteks, and see that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork, and observe that our autograph signature is on the label.

WINSLOW, AN Experienced Nurse and Female Physician, pre sents to the attention of mothers her SOOTHING SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING, which greatly facilitates the process of teething, by softening the gums, reducing inflammation—will al lay all pain and spasmodic action, and is TO REQU LA TE THE B 0 WELS. Depend upon it, mothers, it will give rest to your selves, and Relief and Health to your infants. We have put up and sold this article for over ten years, and can say, in confidence and truth of it, what we have never been able to say of any other medicine —never has it failed in one single instance to effect a CURE when timely used. Never did we know an in stance of dissatisfaction by any one who has used it. On the contrary, all are delighted with its operations, and speak in terms of highest commendation of its magical effects and medical virtues. We speak in this matter "what we do know," after ten years' ex perience, and pledge our reputation for the fulfilment of what we here declare. In almost every instance where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus tion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the syrup is administered. This valuable preparation is the prescription of one of the most Experienced and Skillful Nurses in New England, and has been used with never-failing success in thousands of cases. It not only relieves the child from pain, but invig orates the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. It will almost instantly relieve Griping in the Bowels and Wind Colic, and overmore convulsions, which, if not speedily remedied, end in death. We believe it the best and surest remedy in the world in all cases of DYSENTERY and DIARRHtEA in Children, arising from teething, or from any other cause. We would say to every mother who has a child suffering from any of tne foregoing complaints—do not let your own prejudices, nor the prejudices of others, stand between your suffering child and the relief that will be sure—yes, absolutely sure—to follow the use of this medicine, if timely used. By Full directions for using will accompany each bottle. None genuine unless the fac-simile of CUR TIS k PERKINS, New York, is on the outside wrap per. Sold by Druggists throughout the world.
