said that majority of the delegates elec-

to be on fire; quickly afterward the flames
broke forth, causing the utmost consterna.

steamer, ordered her to be run toward the
shore.
The officers and crew exerted themselves
for some time to get out the hfe-boats
The flames spread with the most astonish
ing rapidity, and the widest confusion ane
despair prevailed throughout the ship.

extraordinary Renovation of the Blood!

The astounding cures accomplished by Dr.
Rebacks Scandinavian Remedies, are the re-
suit of their immediate and most salutary effect
upon the blood. Nervous complaints, 1ndl-
gestion, s6rofula, liver complaints, melancholy
general debility, affections of the provocative
organs, ulcers, eruptions. etc, all have their
seat and source in the blood. If that duid is
healthy, the whole body is healthy, and If cor
rupted, it is quickly freed from every taint by
a course of DR.. Robaclls Blood Purifier and
Pills. Every mail brings grateful letters from
convalescent patients The whole West rings

Unsuccessful Emlgrants to the West


The Parkersburg (Va.) News says:--By
private advices received from the West,
we learn that about half the emigrantS
from this neighborhood have been so un-
fortunate as to lose some one or more
members of their families, while others
have spent large share of the funds with
which they expected to buy farms in sup
porting their families, while they could
select suitable place on which to settle.
Some would come back, but have not the
funds to do SO, and thus for fear of worse
are compelled to stay where they are.
The number who are doing well, and have
met with no untoward events, is but few,
and on the whole their conditions have been
worsted instead of bettered
