H elvetia and lafayette gold mining com- 
pany, located at Grass Valley, California — organized 
July 7,1852—is now in the full tide of successful operation ; its 
veins are opened, being worked and highly productive; its 
mill is of great power, complete in all respects, and now work¬ 
ing with the most satisfactory results, and its prospects for fu¬ 
ture success, founded upon actual experience, are of an un¬ 
usually flattering nature. There was taken out previous to 
Dec. 20,1852, upwards of $169,000, and the yield of the mine is 
steadily increasing with each successive report. 
It is by far the most successful mining company in California, 
and its Directors confidently anticipate quarterly dividends 
of not less than 10 per cent, commencing in October next. 
Dividends payable quarterly in October, January, April and 
July, at the office of the Company in Grass Valley, and at the 
agency office in New-York. 
A few shares, and copies of the charter and by-laws, together 
with other particulars, may be obtained upon application to

P rospectus for 1854.—The Saturday evening post. 
—Unrivalled Array of Talent.—The proprietors of The 
Post, in again coming before the public, would return thanks 
for the generous patronage which has placed them far in ad¬ 
vance of every other Literary Weekly in America. And, as 
the only suitable return for such free and hearty support, their 
arrangements for 1854 have been made with a degree of lib¬ 
erality probably unequaled in the history of American news¬ 
paper literature. They have engaged as contributors for the 
ensuing year the following brilliant array of talent and ge¬ 
nius : 
Mrs. Southworth, Emerson Bennett, Mrs. Denison, Grace 
Greenwood and Fanny Fern. 
In the first paper of January next we design commencing 
an Original Novelet, written expressly for our columns, enti¬ 
tled 
THE BRIDE OF THE WILDERNESS. 
By Emerson Bennett, author of “Viola,” “Clara Moreland,” 
“The Forged Will,” &c. 
This Novelet, by the popular author of “ Clara Moreland,” 
we design following by another called 
THE STEP-MOTHER. 
By Mrs. Mary A. Denison, author of “ Home Pictures,” “ Gert¬ 
rude Russel,” &c. 
We have also the promise of a number of 
SKETCHES BY GRACE GREENWOOD, 
whose brilliant and versatile pen will be almost exclusively 
employed upon The Post and her own “ Little Pilgrim.” 
Mrs. Southworth—whose fascinating works are now being 
rapidly republished in England—also will maintain her old 
and pleasant connection with The Post. The next story from 
her gifted pen will be entitled 
MIRIAN, THE AVENGER: Or, The Fatal Vow. 
By Emma D. E. N. Southworth, author of “ The Curse of Clif¬ 
ton,” “ The Lost Heiress,” “ The Deserted Wife,” &c, 
And—not least — we are authorized to announce a series of 
articles from one who has rapidly risen very high in popular 
favor. They will be entitled 
A NEW SERIES OF SKETCHES. 
By Fanny Fern of “ Fern Leaves,” &c. 
We expect to be able to commence the Sketches of Fanny 
Fern, as well as the series by Grace Greenwood, in the early 
numbers of the coming year 
Engravings, Foreign Correspondence, Agricultural Articles, 
The News, Congressional Reports, The Markets, &c., also shall 
be regularly given.

FERTILIZERS. 
M O. 1 SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME.-THIS VALUABLE 
fertilizer has been used for several years in England 
and other parts of Europe, and, next to Guano, holds the 
highest rank in popularity, and the extent to which it is used 
among farmers. Its introduction in this country has been 
more recent; but the progress it has made in the estimation 
of the public has not been less marked or successful than 
abroad. It is now extensively used throughout the Northern 
States, after a full trial and investigation of its merits; and 
it is rapidly becoming, like its predecessor, Guano, a favorite 
manure at the South and West. 
It is composed of crushed or ground bones, decomposed by 
the addition of about one fifth their weight of sulphuric 
acid, diluted with water, to which is added a due proportion 
of guano and sulphate of ammonia. The latter is the active 
and one of the most efficient agents in the best Peruvian 
Guano. 
It is suited to any soil in which there is not already a full 
supply of the phosphates, which is seldom the case. All crops 
are benefited by its application. 
For sale in large or small quantities, in bags of 150 lbs. each. 
No charge for packages. All bags will be branded “ C. B. De 
Burg, No. 1 Superphosphate of Lime.” 
Also, Agricultural and Horticultural Implements of all

GREAT AND IMPORTANT END ACCOMPLISHED.— 
L Van Deusen’s Improved Wahpene is now confidently and 
generally offered by the inventor, as one of the best modern 
specifics for the Improvement, Health, and Beauty of the 
Human Hair. Its faithful application will, on the head of 
Baldness, reproduce a fine and entirely new growth, and con¬ 
vert that which is gray to its natural and primitive color. 
This desirable change is effected by the action of the improved 
Wahpene on the roots or fibres, thereby aiding nature in 
restoring those healthy functions indispensable to the life 
And beauty of the Hair. This invaluable article consists alto¬ 
gether of vegetable infusions, and is entirely free from all 
mineral acids and alcoholic agency. As an article for the 
Toilet, also, this preparation is without a rival, cleansing the 
head from Dandruff and Scurf, and affording an efficacious 
remedy for nervous and constitutional headaches. Sold by
