In compliance with the request of the committee, the Government have agreed to withdraw from sale all lands available as concessions along both routes, pending the signing of the contract. The Government will also furnish the committee, at the hitter's expense, with tracings of the plans and sections of the line from Springfield to Brunnertou. At a full meeting of the committee on the 10th insl., it was decided that Messrs IT. A. Scott and A. 11. Dobson should proceed to England to dispose of the contract in London, either by arrangement with a syndicate or otherwise. The following have been appointed to sign the contract with the Government: Messrs W. Chrystall, T. S. Weston, J. T. Matson, J. T. Ford, and G. Hart.

country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money and credit on the good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Aiuerican Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
