Ss. T.—1860.—X. Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- nese, lassitade, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, eon- stipation, &¢., deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are Pow recommended by the highest medi- eal authoritie®, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all othertonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is Pequiread. They purify, strengten and invigorate. Whey create a healthy appetite. They sre'an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effeets of dis#ipation and late ‘hours, They strengthen the sYstem and enliven the wind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach. They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They eure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus, They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache. 3 They make the weak strong, the languid bril- Mant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer, They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulatsand testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle, See that it has D, 8. Barnes’ signature on our pri- vate U.S. Stamp over the cork, with plantation seene, and our firm signature on a fine steel plate engraving on Side label. See that our bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterious stuff. We defy any person to match the taste or character of our goods. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bitters by the gallon or in bulk, is an imposter, We sell oply in our log cabin bottie. Any person imitating this bottle, or selling any other material therein, whether called PlantationjBitters or not, js a criminal under the U.8, Law, and will beso prosecuted by us. We already haveour eyeontwo parties re-filling our bottles, &c., who will succeed in getting themselves into elose quarters. The demand for Drake's Plantation Bitters from ladies, elergymen, merchants, &c., is perfectly incredible, The simple trial of a bettle is the evideuce we pre- sent of their worth and superiority. They aresold by all respectable druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels, saloons, steamboats and country stores, P. H. DRAKE & CO., ang 2-eo3m 202 BROADWAY, N. Y. Cc. W. BOTELER. JNO. W. BOTELER Cc.

Mr. McCathran introduced a resolution ask- ing the opinion of the Corporation Attorney whether it is not within the province of Coun- cils to prevent the departure hence of steam- boat excursions on the Sabbath day. Mr. Pe: i oBpoRe a the passage of the reso- Intion. had better bring the blue laws of Connecticut here at once, and re-enact them. He did not believe any body of men had a right to say how a man should employ his leisure on the Sabbath, or step him from traveling on that day, or from going away from the city. Mr. McCathran spoke of the excursions on Sunday last, and wanted to know who was to blame for this desecration of the Sabbath, and who had the authority to putanend to it. He did not wish to prevent any one from leaving the city. His resolution did not contemplate that, but he did not think it was proper to al- low these excursions to start out by steam or Tail. He wanted to know who could prevent it. If we had the authority to stop ithe want- ed to know it, and if the Board was blameable, let the blame rest upon it. He, for one, did not wish to remain ignorant of his duty in the premieces. Ifhe was to blame he had to ans- wer to his constituents, and he believed the Councils had a right to prevent steamers going out on the Sabbath day. As tor the blue laws of Connecticut, he did not wish to introduce them here, but he did think a proper respect should be paid the Sabbath. Mr. Pepper said he had been much edified by the Alderman’s remarks, but he did not believe in the right of any one to say where he should goon the Sabbath day. lt was aperfect hum- bug topass laws of this character for they could not be enforced. He wasout upon the psalm singing, hypocritical canting people who insisted upon marking outa line of con- duct to be observedontheSabbath. He denied the rightof any one to say he should go to church unless he chose to do so. He remem- bered when he was younger there was a class of young men who were models of propriety and always at their places (apparently) in church, But he had known them to sit about in a grog shop until the hour for church to leave out, when they would hurry to line the curb-stones and people would say: what models those young men are—always at church. eee Gulick.— Where were you at such es Mr. Pepper.—In the grog shop with them; |laughter} butno oneever gave me credit for church going. The resolution failed to pass, the vote stand- ing, five to four. he Common Council bill to regulate the: weight of hay, straw, &c.; and the bill making appropriation for the and contingent ex} cna tor the year ending June, \1805, were referred. Resolutions of respect to the memory of Robert T. Knight, a member of the last Board of Common Council, were then adopted and the Board adjourned. Common Councit.—The Board was called to order by the President, Mr. Lloyd, all the members present except Messrs. Dudley, Kel- ly, Skirving, Wilson and Walker. A communication was received from the Mayor, announcing his approval of the follow- ing acts: Imposing taxes for the year 1864; for placing 8 flag center in the gutter on the north side of Massachusetts avenue, from 9th to 10th streets west; for the improvement of gutters on the north side of H street north, from 11th to 13th streets, and on G street north, from 10th to 12th streets; for repair of alley in Square 234; tosupply & deficiency in Kreding Sic ca tion for the repair oy cesta gutters 2d Ward ; authorizing extension of the sewer in 9th street west. The following were introduced and passed : By Mr. Larner: to relay paremens in Square 254; to make assessment for paving the car- riage way on the west front of Square 22. By Mr. Owen: to revive the act to set curb and cause foot pavement to be laidon the east tront ofpns followin a 6 following were reported and sed : By Mr. Larner: (improvements,) toleevonr’ stone and cause the paving foot: on the ‘westside of 9th street west, from N to Os!

The following were received from the Al- Bro.; referred. treet east; Toferid To, img applied to by the authorities, stop the works, but subsequently permitted Ly fp Proceed. The Government then forcibly Cuite and ejected the workmen. The ‘onsul hereupon demanded satisfaction for the insult to the American flag. He refused to accede to the proposal that each party should send an engineer to inspect the alleged dam- age, agreeing to abide by their joint dectsion, and threatened to strike his colors unless sat- isfaction was given within twenty-four hours. Accordingly, after that time elapsed the flag was hauled down, and a dispaich from the Government, which arrived almost immedi- ately afterwards, was returned unopened. The Gonsul telegraphed to Constantinople, and the matter rests. Of the general European news, there is an utter absence of anything of moment. The English Cabinet have all dispersed for the season, Lord and Lady Palmerston had been engaged in the ceremony of cutting the art me of a new railroad. othing additional had transpired peace negotiations at Vienna. y ae The annual appropriation bill was taken up the special order, and after some few amendments had been made it was passed. The bill reported by Mr. Kelly at a former meeting to increase the fees allowed to weigh- ers of hay, straw, &c., was taken up, and Mr. Larner moved an amendment making the bill inoperative during the present year. He ar- gued that it would be unjust to increase com- Penestion at this time, as hadit been known that the prices were to be increased the prices ont atthe pecent sale would have been Tr. The amendment was lost, and the bill was sed. The bill freciaing for the removal of the re- mains of Major Charles L. Entant, and the erection of a monument to his remains was called up, and, on motion of Mr. Peugh, it was aid over for one week. A communication was received from the Commissioners of the Asylum, submitting for the approval of the Board the following reso- dation adopted at the meeting on the 3d in- nt: Resolved, That all temales, inmates of the Poor House, afilicted with venereal disease, sball be subjected to a weekly board of $5; all unable or unwilling to pay said board, shall be required to give the name or names ot the keeper or keepers of the house or houses at which they boarded, and if said keeper or keepers fail to pay said board, they shall be reported to the grand jury as keeping disreputable houses. Reterred to the Asylum committee. Mr. Moore called the attention of the Board to the fact that at the last meeting a resolution ‘was passed calling on the Register for infor- mation as to the state of the finances, and no anwer had been received. He thought that more attention should be paid tosuch requests, and would suggest that the Secretary keep & record of such calls as were made. The bill to place a gravel footway on Ist street west, from B street to Indiana avenue, reported upon adversely by the committee on improvements, was taken up, and the commit- tee discharged. The bill amending the act organizing the Paid Fire Department was taken up, and Mr. Wright suggested that the salary of $600 to the tillerman be stricken out, and insert $250. He referred to Mr. Peabody's communi- cation, in which he states that it is not neces- sary for a hook and ladder company to be the first on the ground; that the pulling down of houses was the last resort; and therefore it Was not necessary for a tillerman to be always onduty. He moved that the vote by which the shiney ‘was fixed at $600 be reconsidered. Car. ried. Mr. Marche, with all due respect to Mr. Peabody’s opinions, believed thata hook and ladder company could do as much service as an engine company. The ladders were used to assist the hose companies, and the hook and lad¢er companies had hitherto done much ser- vice in saving life and property. Mr. Larner argued that the tillerman was as necessary as the hostler; if these officers were at the engine the truck could run and the members might meet the apparatus at the fire. The question was taken on the amendment, and it was lost—yeas 2, nays 13. On motion of Mr. Edmonston, the bill was laid ever until next meeting. Mr. Marche introduced a resolution author- izing the sub-Board of School Trustees of the Third District to sell the school building on the corner of 3d street east and D street south, and erect a frame building on its site; which was referred. Mr. Peugh asked that the bill from the Alder- men, to pave the carriageway onthe north front of square 254, be taken up. After some discussion it was laid over. Adjourned.
