That Ball. The Anniversary Ball of
Albany Fire Company, on lost Monday night,
was decidedly a "big thing," and passed off
vrith the greatest cdal. No exertions vrere
p aredby the fevero! committees to render tho
affair a complete success. The walls and
ceiling of Parrish's spacious Hall were mag
nificently decorated rith flags, evergreens,
4 pictures, mottoes, inscriptions, etc., all
appropriate to the day and the occasion.
. The masic was euphonious and inspiriting,
and the floor managers prompt all tho de
tails of their duty, while the "boys" of the
Company, atiired in their red shirts, dart
ing and gliding through the mazes of tho
.dance cr miogUng with the admiring specta
tor, added novelty and picturcsqueness to the
occasii3Ja. The youth, beauty and fashion of
our fair city wcro fully represented, both
auaagthe lookers-on and participants. The
tables were beautifully arranged and boun
tifully supplied with everything that would
tempt the appetite of the most voracious
gourmand or tho daintiest lady from a roast
ed "shoat" to tho broiled wing of a hum
ming bird. There were about sixty couples
present, besides quite a number who were
not couples malting, in all, perhaps the
largest number of persons ever in attend
ar.ee at a ball in this city. The receipts
amounted to $197 25 ; the expenses were
$117 25, leaving net proceeds of $80
which amount was paid into the treasury for
the use of the Fire Company.
In this connection we are requested to
publish the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted by the members of the
Fire Company on the evening of the 23d
instant: j
"Besotted, That the thanks of Albany
Fire Company No. 1 are hereby extended to
Mr, David Froman for the free use of his
Hall, and to the ladies who so generously
lent their aid in arranging the supper taMe.
and to the citizens generally who furnished
uwith such an abundance of elegant cata
Lies for the occasion."
Portland Dikectort. Wo are indebted
to the publisher, S. J. McCormick, for the
Portland Directory," for 1SG9. It is very
tastefully and neatly printed, and is full of
.statistical information concerning Portland ;
and to a citizen of Portland is very valuable.
Some of the facts it contains are of interest
te outsiders. For example: It seems that
produce, goods, and manufactured articles
were shipped from Portland, during last
year, asaouoting in the aggregate to$2,7S0,
000. ' The treasure shipments of Wells,
Fargo k Co., from Portland to San Francis
co, latvear, amount to $3,037,000. Daring
18C8, also, the bullion shipments c.f Messr..
& vid A Tilton were $540,850 90. The total
p pulation of Portland is 7,980. Portland
contains sisty-six licensed liquor dealers ;
which Is a nut for Carter, of the Corvallts
gazette, to crack.
Oszcoir Flocb. We have been shown a
letter written by a citizen of Albany, from
San Trancisco, dated February 1G, 1809,
frum-wkVch we extract the following relative
tto Oregsn flour :
"There was a committee appointed at the
Merchants' Exchange, to inspect flour and
let the people know what brands of flour
would vtand the highest. The millers here
fecl very sore about the Oregon flour being
put in tb market and taking their custom
ers away from them. They intend to do all
they can to injure the Oreon flour, and by
putting it at a low grade they think to run
-it out of the market. There was a committee
of three California millers appointed to ex
amine th flour. Several Oregon brands
and the California brands were given them.
Xhey were all agreed on the best, and you
may judge of their surprise when they had
given the "Magnolia" the first, and the
sSteaai Mills the second, (both Albany mills).
They said that they never saw & sample of
31 jar equal to the Magnolia, and tney would
ihave to shut down their mills if thev could
-mt buy wheat cheaper, for they could not
.make that quality of flour for the present
It is said that Calisaya Bark has a pecnl
i itr effect upon the liver, and guards the sys
tem against diseases by exposure and irreg
. ular diet. It is conceded that the great suc
.eess of the wonderful Plantation' Bitters,
.tvhich, previous to our late unhappy diEcul-
ties, was found in most southern homes, was
. owing to the extract of Calisaya Bark which
it contained as one of the principal ingredi
..cnts. In confirmation of this we Jure
;hrdoneof our distinguished physicians
.remark, that whenever he felt unwell from
. ordinary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he
invariably relieved himself by Plantation
Bitters. We speak advisedly when we
; any that we know it to be the best and most
popular medicine in the world.
Irxvs. Loeal news is scare this week.
The, weather is beautiful, and the farmers
. are busy as bees plowing their fields and
. sowing their grain, consequently very few
of them have visited town. There is con
siderable sickness in town, generally occa
sioned by colds. Messrs. Riley Sc Co.,
butchers, are erecting a meat market on the
lot owned by Hon. X. II.' Cranor, between
Cowan's store and Webber's bath house.
Messrs. Parrish & Mendeahall are closing
ont their goods at auction as fast as possible,
as they have leased their store room to Sen
ders, Sternberg & Co., and are to give pos
session to the latter gentlemen the first of
March. -' '- - - -

"Sold Again." Wo are compelled to an
nounce to our readers the mortifying intelli
gence that the opposition steamer 'Sucocss"
has been sold to the old monopoly, the r. 1 ,
Company, and has already mado one trip
under the management of its new owners.
We also learn that the P. T. Company has
already announced their design to raise the
price of up-freights, at least, to a higher
standard and wo have no doubt they will
6oon charge tho usual exhorbitant prices for
freights both up and down tho river. Oh!
for a Railroad !
Ferrt. We observe that Mr. A. Pcarce,
proprietor of the Albany Ferry, has recently
mado somo very substantial and creditable
improvements at tho ferry 'landing on this
sido the river, and which, ho informs us,
has cost him a considerable sum of money j
therefore, thoso of his friends who are in
debted to him would confer a favor by pay
ing up their obligations.
A Handsome Present. Yo junior ro
turns thanks to Messrs. Cowan & Davidson,
pork-packers of thij city, for the present of
a beautifully oured and deliciously flavored

From the Charleston Courier, Aug. 29, 1807.
THE LIQUORS 0F COMMERCE,
Poisonous Stiralanls in tie Sick Room,
THE VILE ART OF ADULTERATING
alcoholic liquids was practloed in Groceo and Romo
more than two conturics ago, and then, at now
tho Medical Faculty denounced it, and lamented
tho difficulty of procuring puro and wholesome
stimulants for the sick.
Hii rocnATEi called attention to tho tricks of
tho Athenian Tlntncri four centuries before tho
Christian Era. Ualkn, somowhat later, sternly
rebuked tho wine merchants of Romo for tamper
ing with tho julco of tho grape. Tbero was no
distilled liquors la those days, and tnooy of tho
subtlo poisons at present used by liquor mixers
were uuknowu, but considering their knowledge
nd opportunities, tho adultun-rs of tho "classic
. . t. ! .1. f
ages showed constueraoio aurounrs in lueir nv-
furious calling. Lead, lime, gypsum, and soa
watcr were put Into new wioo by tho Roman dual
ers, aud it was boiled and lea to cool in metal
vessels, by way of improTlng Us tasto and glring
it transparency. To this day somo of tho Mvdit-
ernncun wines are subjected to a similar process,
All the wines of Europe aro tuoro or loss adultera
ted before they leave "first bands," and as to tho
stu'J commonly retailed in this country under the
names of Port, Sherry, Madeira, Ac., Ac, aloe-
Juice, decoctioo of logwood, powder of catechu,
alsjin, plaster of purls, lead, litharge, carbonato of
soda, oil of almond t, cider, and bad rum, may bo
mentioned as among their ply as ant ingredients

that the adulterators f this gencrnti'r particu
larly excel. The tricks of tho Orcck and Roman
vintners wcrcjtnere child's play to theirs. Strych
nine, mlphuric acid, sugar of lead, Jalap, opiates,
and a variety of pungent alkaUcaare among the
delicacies that enter into tbe companion of ordi
nary "bur room liquors," and some of them consist
almost wholly of pornicious chemkats with i
small admixture of unrcclifled spirits. No woo
dcr, under such circumstances, tbl tavern brandy
rum, gin and whtskv, carry death and madness
in their tuio. No wonder, also, that plytician
hart twt comjidtnei in the liyuorgof commerce, ai
ore araid to tcit them.
SttmulanU, however, are as necessary in tnedl
cal practice as febrifuges, or cathartics, or ano-
dynes, or alteratives, or any other of the recognu
ed specifics for disease. Tbe great question is.
euu a pnri ttimutant b had t We say it ean, TV
assert that HOSTETTEIfS STOMACH BITTERS
the alcoholic basis of which is the cstenco o
sound Mor.'ngaUcla Rye, u prt a itimulant

is, however, sometbitig more and better than this
to-wit, a judiciously mtdicnttd stimulant, in which
tho qualifying iagredienU are the uett stomachic
aperient, alterative, and anti-billion herbs, routs
and gums. These vegetable constituents Modify
and control the effect of the spirituous clt-Rcnts
and render tho liiiu-rs the safest, mildest and
most effective invig"rant at presets! In use.
For tho m'aocholy come.juencts ulich opjoe
from tho sale of unwholesome compounds bearing
the names of the various spirituous liquors, tie
powers that be are in sanjo degree responsible.
Dcriring, as it docs, a Urge revenue frm the im

Inspection and taxattua csgbt, io this matter, to
go baud in hand, and in all cate ot adulteration
lUe adulterated article instead of being taxed
should bo dtttroyrd. Every tittcUro and extract
containing, or purporting to contain alcobol,
should be examined by competes; scientific tacn,
and not permitted to go into tho market n&l.l Us
purity has been aultioritativeiy eertiCed. The
aniLary interests of the community should be
paramount to the financial interests of the (iorcrn
mi ntthe public boal'h being of infimUly more
importance than the public revenue. Lut no such
prutwetive supervision is exereiseJ either by the
central jKwer at Washington or by tho State gov.
ernmen's. lne internal revenue assessors and
collectors simply demand their tax, knowing noth
ing about the wtiolcsmene or unwbolr'mcnc
of the article upon which it is levied ; the Custom
House Collectors insist on payment of the duties
required by law on imported liquor. but how much
or bow little foreign poiton there may be in each
cask or puncheon it is not their boiiie to ascer
tain. Congress sems to have entirely overlooked
its function of public protection In legislating on
the liquor question. State legislatures have been
equally remiss. Many of them have tried prohibi
tion and failed. No one of them, so far as wo are
aware, hs endeavored to mitigate tho evils of
which they have ail complained, by instituting a
rigid system of inspection.
We should bo glad to seo such a system adopted
as an experiment. It would at leat prevent un
principled dealers from palming ojf upon the work
ing classes, to an uniim'sted exl.-rit, the fiery fluids
which fiil our nits, poor-houses, hospitals, lunalio
asylums, and innumerable graves with miserable
vtciirns
Wero such a regulation fn force we should have
to need to explain the nature and value of our
preparation through the public press. The report
of the inspecting officers would be our sufficient
voucher a stronger advertisement than nar wo
could trarne. Gladly would we welcome the official
agents of the Government StAte or Federal to
our factory, and challenge their closest scrutiny,
their sharpest tests. An inspection law of the
kind indicated would, if competently administered,
be one of the most useful enactments ever placed
on our statute books. It would be conservative
alike of health and morals.
When the British Go vernmsmt literally tendered
cpipm to the Chinese at tho point of tho bayonet,
compelling that unfortunate nation to make its
election between hopeless war and a demoralizing
apu qcaaiy poison, toe united Mates cried shame.
We denounced the conduct of Great Britain as
unchristian aud inhuman. So it was; but is our
Government guiltless if t permits tho people over
whom it should exercise a paternal jurisdiction to
be poiioned in the dark t Tbe deadly properties
of opium are known. It cannot be taken unwit
tingly, under the supposition th'at it is something
else.
its tasto ana smell betray it, and all who
buy it understand precisely what they purchase
But this is not tbe case with adulterated liquors.
lne taste, the color, tbe aroma of undetcriorated
brandy, gin, rum sx whisky is often so closely
simulated by the expert liquor mixer, that even
connoisseurs are deceived, to say nothing of the
(ignorant and inexperienced. Nothing short of
scientific analysis can establish tbe difference be-
a. .
twoen the genuine and the bogus article, and tbe
knowledge of this fact emboldeos the mixers to
flood toe markets with their atrocious compounds.
The sum and substance of the'whole matter is
that the standard liquors of commerce, puro and
undented, are not procurable in this country, and
wo very much doubt if they can bo obtained, in
the ordinary course of trade, on the other side of
tbe Atlantic. Even if they could, they are not
proper for invalids. Unrnixtfl alcohol it aot a
medicine. The spirituous principal, however pure,
must be toned and modified, and its exciting pow
er subdued by skillful medication beSore it is fit to
be exhibited as a preventive, a remedy, oc a re
storative. This has been effected in IIOSTET
TER'S BITTERS. The preparation is a perfect
ly safe and efficacious tonic, alterative, corrective,
and anti-bilious medicine nothing more and noth

This valuable preparation, eo&taining in ahlga-

Ginger has become one of tbe most popular da
mestic remedies for all diseases of the stomas .

At a tonic, it will be found invaluable to all per
sons recovering from debility, whether produced
by a fever, or otherwise ; for while it imparts to
tbe system alt tbe glow and vigor that can be pro
duced by wine or brandy, it is entirely free from
the reactionary effects that follow the use of spir-
its of any kind.
It is also an excellent remedy for females who
suffer from difficult menstruation, giving almost
immediata relief to tbe spasms that so frequently
accompany that period.
It gives immediate relief to Nausea, caused by
riding in a railroad car, or by sea-eickness, orotb.
er causes.
It is also valuable as an external application tor
Gout, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, etc. f
