The Fire Alarm Telegraph
-
Captain T. B. Lyons, the Chief Engineer of the Mobile Fire Department, sends us the following information for the government of the several companies, to go into effect from this morning:
The keys of the alarm boxes will be found at the nearest house to each box. Any person living in the neighborhood of the box in case of fire can obtain the key on application to the persons holding the same. 
DIRECTIONS TO KEY HOLDERS
Never open the box or touch the side except in case of fire.
Upon positive information of a fire near your box, unlock the door and push the slide or bold the whole way up and then let it fall; if you do not hear the alarm bells ring in a few seconds thereafter, go to the next nearest box and give the alarm as above.
Never give the alarm from any box whilst the alarm bells are striking, or the small gong in the boxes are tapping. 
The number of the box from which the alarm is given will be struck on the two city alarm bells, one of which is placed in the steeple of Christ Church, on the corner of St. Emanuel and Church streets-the second on the tower lately erected at the intersection of Bayon and St. Francis streets; also on the gongs in the different engine houses. 
For example: At any alarm given from box 25, the bells and gongs will be struck two blows with an interval of one second between each blow, and after a pause of seven seconds five blows will be struck, make the number 25. After a pause of twenty seconds these numbers will be repeated until the number 25 has been repeated five times. If thought necessary the alarm can be given again.
Keyholders should not let the key go out of their possession, or when called for by the proper authorities. If the key is given to any person for the purpose of giving an alarm, be particular in seeing that it is retuned to you.
If the fire does not show itself plainly, it will be the duty of the person giving the alarm to remain at the box until an officer of the Department, or an engine arrives at the box.
Avoid if possible giving the alarm from any but the nearest box to the fire.
Be sure the box is locked and the key taken out before leaving it.

J.W. HUTCHINSON'S
TONIC BITTERS.
FOR the effective cure of all forms of BOWEL COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, LIVER COMPLAIN, CHRONIC or NERVOUS DEBILITY and SEA SICKNESS. A certain preventive [If taken during an epidemic) to YELLOW FEVER or ASIATIC CHOLERA. This incomparable preparation (containing no Aloe or Rhubarb, as do most Tonic Medicine- being entirely a vegetable compound,) has stood the test of medical criticism for upwards of twenty years, and in no case has there been a complain against it. These Bitters have this advantage over all other Tonic medicines- the approbation of very many of the most eminent physicians in the United States, who use them in their practice, and who have authorized the Proprietor and his agents who refer to them.
Hundreds of persons attribute their exemption from disease, during the epidemic of 1853, to the use of those Bitters.
For sale by most of the Druggists, and by the PROPIETOR, corner Warren and [[?]] sts
