 Dr. MELLEN, Sir-the cause of humanity demands of me to give the following state ment: My wife had for six years been in decline and pronounced by her Physicians to be in consumptive state, and was attended by severe pain in her side, with Cough E difficulty of breathing. She was reduced so low as to be unable to get from her bed to the fire without aid. All hopes of her recovery had long been given up. In this situation, was prevailed upon, as a last possible resort, yet without any hopes of success, to make use of" Anderson's Cough Drops" She com menced the use of them in February last and after using two bottles, to the astonlshment of all, in the month of May following the health of my wife was entirely restored, and since which, her health and strength were perhaps never better. Feeling deep interest that the public in general may resort 10 the same remedy, when their friends and relatives are apparently, or evidently on the brink of the grave, to rescue them from from the same You are at liberty to publish the above.
 am respectfully, S1c.
 Rhinebeck, Duchess co. N. Y.) Nor. 8. 1926"
 This is to certify that the subscriber. was brought very low by splitting blood, attended with cough and catarril, and that nothing afforded me real relief until commenced ta- king Anderson's Cough Drops, the use of which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to comfortable state Of health.
 And do further certify that the wife of Mir. Nathan Huntington, living in the same place was afflicted with very bad cough for num- ber of years, and that in 1923 she was redu- ced so low that it was thought she must soon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able to walk from her bed to the fire, when she com menced taking Andersen's Cough Drops, the use of which, in short time so far restored her, that she was soon able to do good days work. can cheerfully recommend this med icine to the public.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.

MELANCHOLH SftlF w hECk.
 Extract of aletter from Capt. James H. Dill, late master of brig Potomac, of Bos- ton,
 "ST. CRUZ. Teneriffe, Nov. 20, 1926.
 "Sir: am sorry to have to announce to you the unfortunate loss of the Potomac. When we had performed .our quarantine, and discharged our cargo that we had to Grand Canary, we came directly to this place, and were waiting hero to obtain li- cence from the government to take passen- gers, for within few months an order has
 been sent out here, from the King, preven- ting aN foreign vessels from taking natives of these Islands away consequently we kept the vessel here to wait the result of an interview with the government, to go on with the expedition, and finally, few days previous to the loss of the vessel, we succeeded, and had taken in large quan- tity of store, &c. for the passengers and, the day before we were ready to sail for Lanzarretto, there came on one of the most tremendous hurricanes that the old est inhabitants remember to have witness ed in these islands. Notwithstanding it came on very suddenly, and right on shore, I had got off cabin cable.and anchor, from the shore, before the communication to the vessel became impracticable--b the storm ragged with incseasing fury, every vessel parted, and went on to the beach, one af- ter another, the wind hauled every fifteen | minutes, so that no vessel could ride strain on more than one cable, till at length my small bower parted, and the chain was let go, and scope vered out-the sea was very bad, the boats all washed away, the vessel was unable to bear so hard labour, and leaked very badly still every thing was done to keep her free, and save her, but all in vain-at half past 9, the best bower parted, and the chain and anchor would not bring her up, and she was dash ed against the rocks, and in five minutes nothing was to be seen of the Potomac but some small pieces afoat in the surf; and with her, my mate and cook shared the same fate the rest, some made their es- cape by throwing themselves from the yards and rigging on to the rocks, and some were thrown up by the sea on to the rocks, with broken arms and legs and have scarcely recovered yet sufficiently to write you description of the shocking scene. The general destruction, in all the island. has not left vessel that we can procure.''
 The Potomac was to take her passen- gers at Lanzaretto, and proceed to Monte Video.

Spanish Ladies.

The dress of the Spanish lady is remarka- ply elegant, generally adorns very perfect shape. Black is the universal color, and the robe is most tastefully worked and vandyk- ed. A montilla or veil of black silk or lace and sometimes white lace, is thrown over the head, and leaving the face uncovered, falls gracefully over the head and shoulders and is confined at the waist by the arms of the wearer They are both expensive and particular in dressing their feet with neat ness, and their little shoes fit closely. The large black eye, the dark expressive glance, the soft blood-tinged olive of the glowing complexion, make tho unwilling English man confess the majesty of Spanish beauty and he feels that tho the soft blue eye, and delicate loveliness of his own countrywo- men awake amore tender feeling of interest he would deny or dispute, in vain, the com manding superiority of those dark-eyed and fair-formed damsels.

AZLegOric0L.


 A traveller setting out upon long journey was assailed by CUTS, mastifs, ,and lfgrowu puppies, which came out of their kennels to bark at him as he passed along. He often dismounted from the horse to drive them back with stones and sticks, into their hiding places. This operation was repeated every day, and some times as often as twenty times day. The consequence was, that the travellers time was consumed in chastis- ing these dogs and puppies. At last he was overtaken by neighbor, who was going the some road ,but had set out long time after him. The latter traveller was very much surprized to find the other no further on his journey, and on hearing the reason, 'Alas" ssid he, lis it possible that you have; lost your time, and wasted your strength in this useless way? These same ani- malls have beset me all along the road, ,bu, I have saved my time and my labor, in taking no notice of their barkings; while you have lost yours in resenting insults VI 'ch did you no harm, and in chastising dogs & puppies whose manners you can never mend. .''-V;2ps. .>

NORWICH, Vt, March IA. Shocking afdir.-We learn that Mir. Da- vid Jillson, of this town, was killed in Windham on Saturday last, by a man by he name of M'Nelly, ,an Irishman by birth. It appears from verbal statements given that the former. had employed the latter, who was a taylor, to make some clothes for him, and went to the shop at the time ap- pointed to get them-when a dispute a. rose about something, in which M'Nelly became furiously mad, plunged upon his disputant with pair of large shears in his hand, gave him two or three violent stabs, and otherwise assaulted him until every appearance of life was extinct. The hor- rid deed was soon found out by his neigh bours, and the perpetrator was immedi- ately secured. Medical aid was called in, and after much exertion MT. JiIlson was revived. He fingered through one or two days in extreme agony and finally expi- red.
 Female Presence 0f Mind.
 Count Segur in his recently published sMemoirs and recollections," relates the following anecdote of the princess Lubom- irska :--s'She was once in her sledge riding under the immense, canopy ofa sombre for est, when at the turn of narrow path, she came unexpectedly within a few steps of a bear rendered furious by hunger. At the approach of the wild animal, the horse made leap, and overturned the sledge. The bear advanced at the princess, an attendant rushed forward to save her, and placed himself between her and the terrible animal; he attacked it, but his sabre broke. An un- equal contest took place, but the bear soon caught the Pole in his paws. Without be- coming terrified, the princess took hold of two pistols that had fallen out of the sledge came behind the terrible animal, discharged two shots into his ear and stretched him dead at her feet"
