THE NEW YORK FIRE OF THE lsru

ESTIMATED Loss ny THE LATE FiRE-we are
strongly impressed with the idea that the amount Of
loss by the late fire is greatly over-estimated. As
Stunning that the value of the buildings destroyed
would average seven thousand dollars-and this is
very large estimate, considering the amount of
available matter on the ground-the loss in build
ings is about million and half. Add to this
three millions for the goods destroyed, and the loss
falls short Of )fUe millions. We are happy to add
that probably nne-enihs of this loss falls upon men
Of wealth, who will in no way suffer from it. The
Insurance Companies can pay and their stock since
1895 has not been held by widows and orphans,
but by men of large means, who could afford to
risk few thousands in the hope Of getting very
large premiums The effect Of this great fire. there

lHE - hASCALITY OF s'FROScRlFIlON. "A
beautiful illustration of the appositeness of the cpl
tibet to the practice is furnished by writer in the
Boston Post of July 81, under the date Of Wash
ngton, July l6," whose object is to make Proscrip-
ton more base and vindictiye than it already is.
This informer gives list Of Principal Clerks in
the public offices at Washington, with their alleged
politics, the first item of which is as follows:
CIV. s. DRxnIcx, State Department, (Whig) disciple
Of Gales q Seaton and reputed writer for the National
Intelligencer"
From one, let the Public Judge Of the whole and
determine Row many souls as little that of this
informer might find room to dance on the point Of
needle. The whole of this statement is absolutely
false. Mr. DERRICK was, it is true, bred printer,
but in Pennsylvania, and not here. He was, in
deed, employed for some time, more than twenty
years ago, in the k-prntng Office connected with
this establishment, and afterwards became clerk
in the Department of State, without our assistance
and wilhou, our priyity. He never wrote line
for the National Intelligencer in his life that we
know of, nor do we believe that he was sus-
pected of doing so.
We trust that the editor of the Post, prompted by
that Of honor which ought ever TO distinguish
his craft, will feel it to be his duty to give up al
once the Of the person who has practised this
imposition upon him.

TNHE sudden, certain and sure relief that the
Il use of this preparation gives TO the sufferer,
is almost beyond belief. Its penetrating powers,
are very great so much so, that the worst cases,
have been entirely cured, in two or three days.
Persons troubled with this complaint, have only
to use these preparations according to directions,
the Elixir inwardIy, and the Liniment applied out
wardly, and a cure is effected almost, before they
have looked for any good results, to follow the
application. Quite number of persons in the city
and State of N. Y, who have been cured by the
use of these preparations, have given large sums
to the Proprietors to be applied to the giving OF
them to the poor, which is daily done. Certificates
without number, are pouring in every day or two.
1t is useless to say that this article has also been
counterfeited and the public are cautioned against
buying any that has not the signature of Comstock
