mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity. as...sf.. sz..,.....-
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Preueation is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRB" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEvEn AND AauR
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints. but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AauB prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
It is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. "A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
Of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach.
all of which. when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to npen into disease. Hence it is even moro
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-

BUILpINGs.-We think we hazard
nothing in saying, that notwithstanding the hard
times, there is not another place in the State, with
the same amount of population that this village has,
that can boast Of as many and of as good class OF
buildings, erected and in process of erection during
the past six months, as Dowagiac. We should say
that there has been at least fifty dwelling houses
built here this season, and there must be as many
more fastening to completion, and there is not at
this time a dozen vacant houses in the village.
This is sure indication that our village is steadily
gaining ground, and must in a few years be far
ahead of many of our sister towns, both in point
of population, enterprise and beauty of place.

He was arrested and held for trial. His name is
Peterson, and he was night guard in the west hall

Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ

its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by remedy at once so
simple and inviting.

FRuIT.-Some of our exchanges in
different parts of the State report the partial fail
ure Of the fruit crop in their respective localities.
We fear the yield of fruit throughout the State,
the present season, will be qnite light In our own
County, as far as we can learn from farmers and
others, the crop is nearly total failure, owing to
the severity Of the weather during the past winter
The probability is that but very little fruit of any
kind win be marketed here this fall. None has as
vet made its appearance This will be sad loss,
not only to farmers and fruit growers, but also to
consumers in general, who depend upon themfor a
supply.

THE FOUNDING OF DETRoIT.-Tf

THE FOUNDING OF DETROIT.-The
18th anniversary of the founding of Detroit was
celebrated on the oath inst lin that city, and ac
cording to the Detroit papers, was very happy
affair. The celebration took place under the au-
spices of the Michigan State Historical SOCIETY.
The address, a very appropriate and able one, was
delivered by C. /. Walker, Esq. The 44d0ertiser
says that the Firemens Review, which took place
at 10 o'clock A. NJ, under Chief Engineer Lee, was
one of the best turnouts Detroit has witnessed
of her hremen- The Companies made a first rate
appearance, mastering in all nearly six hundred
men.
But the browning feature of the day, it is said,
was the procession, which formed at Q O'Clock, p
d., under the direction of Col j. Howard as
Marshal, and was participated in by the military,
firemen, civic societies, and large numbers of the
citizens of Detroit and neighboring towns. Alto
gether it was an occasion long to be remembered
with pleasure by those who participated in the fes
tivities.

So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu.
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
