U0iloUdy'S PWS.-The stomach, in some of
its diseased conditions, turns the food it re-
ccives to poison. 1t supplies the veins with
fiery principle which creates inflammation.
The liver sympathises with it, and produces
acrid bile. From these causes result diar-
rhGa, dysentery Inflammation of the bowels
congestion of the brain, affections of the
throat and lungs, and numerless external dis
orders. Yet there is nothing easier than to
relieve disordered stomach and restore the
digestive powers to perfect health and vigor,

ATTEMrr TO FIRE THE OFFICE OF TIE
mAMERICAN.n

An attempt was made to set On fire the
building occupied by us as the Office Of the
Ameriean, on Wednesday last AT half.past
g. A. NJ, hand came into the Office and
smelling something like burning paper ran
up to the third story and discovered the
files and back numbers Of our papers, at the
head Of the stairs, on fire. There was, pro-
badly, 500 weight Of paper tied up in rolls,
some of them wrapped in coarse paper, or
fire, which was fortunately extnguished by
the timely application of several buckets of
water, although the flames had already
reached the ceiling.
The floor, under the pile of papers, in two
large spots, was charred to the depth of one
half Of al inch. Several broken matches were
found or the floor, and the mark Of match
on the wall. The fire was evidently placed
under the rolls, but being tied up burnt slow
ly, and mostly on the edges. Five minutes
more would have enveloped the whole mass
in flames. The deed was evidently done not
more than half hour previous. There are
strong suspicious circumstances and some
clue has been obtained, IN regard to the
perpetrator Of the incendiarism, which are
not yet fully developed.
