A senii- Sv paP or ' cnt ' t ' Tree Bul : 2ll j Jlurphy'e Advertiser," is edited f rinted on the stump of what is called ,L tree, though it is not by any means ; tree in the grove. There are ' Jx of those wonderful trees in a it of about one mile. These trees do . <tauJ alone, but in a forest of large jguerally pine and cedars. They are " f wonderful, and, like our great lakes, jjujit see them fully to appreciate their i dimensions. Sugar pines, eight feet diameter and more than two hundred jjjdi. standing in the near neighbor j of these wonderful growths, seem ? saplings in the comparison. " The of the Forest" lies in stately gran . on the ground, having been blown 3i nobody knows when, his huge form curing oue hundred and twenty feet in and by estimate four hun dand fifty feet in length. I say by es jie, for the top is broken ofl' three hun i feet from the root. But as the tree abt feet in diameter where it is broken , reasonably supposed, judging from the eral taper, that one-hundred and fifty must be added to complete the length. \e Mother of the Forest" excites com icration. There she stands denuded of :tirk one hundred and twenty feet from ground. This was done about four s ago, and yet, so tenacious is she of ifew green tufts still adorn her head, frame work of the scaffolding is still iing, and the spiral stairway formed krge pins driven into the tree. We jot ascend this stairway, as the gcntlc ;y conductor thought the pins might be reliable. " The Big Tree" was cut (s:her bored down some time ago. The ad stump forms the floor of an arbor, thick, as stated above, is the editing printing office of the Big Tree Bulle- Tlie butt log, some thirty feet long, on the ground, and is ascended by a stairway of twenty-six steps.

SANFORfi,' Compounded entirely from GIUS, TS one of ihe best Purgative and Liver Medicines now' J- before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,easier, mild er, and more etfectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on iheatonr ach and bowels to carry ofTthat matter, thus accomplish- ' ing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienc d in the operations of most Calharli s. Il strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it, and when taken daily in moderate doses wilt strength- • en and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver is one of the) I principal regulators of Iho human body; and when; it performs its functions* well the powers of tliesys-j .Jtem are fully developed. The stomach is almost en- j jtirely dependent on the healthy act on of the Liver j J for the proper perform' attce of its functions when ihe stomach is at' tattll the bowels are at j ~ J j fault, and the whole sys tem suffers in conse-j iquence of one organ—the Lit KR- having ceased to; ££ \io its duty.
