The following is from tic principal
accountant of the wealthy autl highly
respectable house of Messrs. Voris &
Bro, OF this city, and presents ONE OF
THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES
IN TIE ANNALS of medical histo-
| ry.
Mr. III. G. Farrell--Dear Sir Ac,u.
ated by sense of grateiuness, submit
the following as an instance of the utility
of your great medicine. My child, three
years old. was suddenly attacked with a
terrible disease, which in less than six
hours Frustrated it to total helplessness.
The limbs became so rigid, tina, not a
joint could be bent; the flesh turned
black and cold. and entirely deprived of
feeling; The eyes fixed, partially closed,
and altogether blind; following this, was
deafness to all sounds the spine became
contracted and so curved, that when ly-
ing on its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed the child presented ev-
cry appearance Of being DEAD. Immedi-
ately on attack, the family physician
was called in, aud for three weeks he la
bored to restore il to feeling, but all in
vain, although it was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacient Liniments
applied. A consultation of pny sicians
was then held, but TO no purpose; the
case was then brought before a Medical
Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been tried, and
the doctor then told me he could do moth
ing more. We then commenced apply
ing your I.iniment freely over the entire
length OF the spine, and you may imag.
inc parents JOY. when, after few ap-
plications, returning animation was APP.
parent, and j, rapidly recovered with the
exception of the sight, which did not be-
come perfect for near a month. The
child is now healthy and robust as can
be. Five other cares of the same kind
occurred previously ia my neighborhood,
all of which died, when there is no doubt
if your Liniment had been used they
would have recovered.

The New Depot Grounds and
Rail Road Works.

The City Council, at their meeting
evening before last--with prompmess
and uranimity which it gives us the live
hest pleasure 10 mention, and which will
be CRAFTY ing TO all concerned--passed an
ordinance establishing the depot grounds
of The Missouri River Railroad OH the
new city property in front of Market
Square. The grant is in the form of a
lease for ninety nine years, at a nominal
rent, aud includes all the lard ccded by
Congress, lying on the river side of From.
Street, below the foot of Valley street
and extending Southwark to the foot of
Vine. The conditions annexed are that
the Company shall locate their depot,
freight houses, machine shops aud car
factories for the road west on the ground
leased-commence filling up above high
wafer mark within one year, and com
mence the necessary buildings within
two years and the road west within one
year. The PREMISES are ample--even
more so than we suggested on Thursday
containing probably about eight acres
The conditions required by the Council
are liberal, and fixed with a wise and
comprehensive regard to the highest pub
lie good, and The prosperity both OF the
city and the road II the Ordinance
should meet the views and plans of the
Company-and there is every reason to
believe il will-we haze the most relia-
bic and satisfactory grounds for The ex-
Pectallon that operations will commence
within few weeks at the foot of Valley
street, anG long before the expiration of
the shortest term limited by the Council,
enough will be done, in the erection of
the costly and extensive Railroad works
contemplated, TO make another place of
burlington. A day of prosperity and
enlargement is about to dawn-we are
confdent--such as has been labored for
in hope by earnest and public spirited
men among Us but which the mass OF
our citizens are not at all prepared TO
see or even TO expect. From the day
the first blow is struck below Market
Square, the demand for mechanical and
day labor, the impulse given to farming,
TO the retail trade, and to every branch
OF productive industry will exceed the
calculations of The most sanguine.--
