passed away, thousands of sufferers from dysente .
~ and diarrh4a have been relieved by the use of
H0STETTER'S BiTTERS. a medicine which is
evidently destined to maintain permanent place
in the public estimation. Bilious diarrhga is one
of those diseases which battles the skill of the ply

the bowels never seems TO reach the source of the
evil. The difficulty is to get remedy that will
reach all the digestive organs, and give them ST.

this disease. This problem is solved by the BTT-
TIERS, which never fails to conquer the most stub

THE ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMSHIP QUAKER
CITY-Fsars for her SGfty.-The fact that the
steamer uaker City, bound from New York
to Havana, broke her engine off Cape Hatteras,
Friday morning, and the arrival Of ninety
five of her passengers at Norfolk in the bark
Dumbarton. has been noticed. There were
still remaining on the disabled vessel, ninety
persons, including the crew and twelve pas
sengers, for whose safety some fears are felt,
AS telegram from Norfolk yesterday, reports
a heavy Eastern gale prevailing. The passen-
gers held meeting yesterday, and presented
a gold watch and purse of gold to Capt. Chad
burn, of the Dumbarton, who took them from
the steamer. On the watch is inscribed the
very sailor-like expression of Capt. c., when
taking the ladies from the vessel: Pile Oh the
dimity there lads, and let's get these women
out of trouble" During the transfer of the
ladies to the bark, the infant of Mrs. Davidson
fell into the water, which was swarming with
sharks butwas rescued by a sailor. The Nor
folk Day Book says
1t is supposed that, unless the small sails Of
the Quaker City have been sufficient i'll the
storm which has followed. to keep her up TO
the wind that she must have drifted East by
Northeast, at the rate of two-and-a-halt or
three miles per hour, which would put her III
this time some 300 miles from the place where
the bark found her. This calculation, howey
err is based upon the supposition that she Is
still afloat, which is very doubtful. An old
and experienced sea captain informed us last
night that the chances are ten to one against
her, and, unless he had been in command, he
should have left her, just as the passengers
did He furthermore said, that he would not
be in her for ten times her yalue This looks
very like there was little or no hope for her
among the knowing ones, and we think the
passengers may esteem themselves most fortu~ |
nate in having been taken away from what is |
con sidered almost certain death.
