Patients in advanced stages Of the
disease.
So wide is the field of It's usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
hcly 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 il apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections OF the
pulmonary organs that are 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-
dnced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

The RECENT EARTueuAKE.-We received
news by telegraph the other day of an earth
quake on the ODD of March, which nearly
destroyed the city of Quito The first shock
was felt about half past eight and the whole
lasted four minutes. The churches, monas-
teries, converts and State edifces were al
mostall rent to fragments, and there is scarce.
ly house in the city that is not badly
damaged. All the principal buildings Of
the neighboring towns of San Antonio, CO.
tocolla, Machacha, Chiilogallo and Magda-
lena have been destroyed. The loss of pro-
perty is estimated at three millions of dol
lars and from the poverty of the people it
will be impossible to repair and rebuild any
great number of the better class of edifces
destroyed. The shocks were felt simulta-
neously in Tacunga, Ambato and Alausl,
and in Tinpullo the earth opened in various
places. The earthquake was also felt at
Guayaquil, but did no damage there.
The number Of lives lost in the city OF
Quito is variously estimated at from 5000 to
5000. The city was said to contain about
so 900 inhabitants. 1t is built on an extern
sive plain, against the mountains OF Pane
clio and Pichincha, and is about $500 feet
above tho level of the sea. Most of the
houses arc two stories some three, and n
part one story. Many are built of burnt
brick. with handsome facadcs, but the
greatest portion are unburned brick.

Our frendsof the Free Press do not intend :,
OF course, to mis-state 1.-THE facts" and will
doubtless correct the errors it took from the
Boston Jonrnai.
Tho present Bishop of Burlington { the
Rt. Rev, Bp. HoPKINs is Bishop of Ver-
mont,) never was in the State of Vermont
previous to November 1853, and, consequent
ly did not oficiate in lS4s.' nor has he cur
'oficated as priest at Highgate : nor has he
ever been connected with the diocese of Bos-
ton : consequently, tho balance of the state
mentc of the Journal. in connection with tho
above facts, are without foundation. In
tho exercise of what lie then deemed. and
still deems his legal rights, he removed II few
pews from the lllghgate Church, but certain
ly did not throw the fragments in the street.
The mis-statements Of tho journal, therefore,
as the Free Press will perceive. are considera-
BILE.
As TO the result of tho snit, that remains
TO bo determined by the Supreme Court OF
the State.-Times.
Probably enough the item was inaccu-
rate, as the Times states, though we had no
knowledge which would make us suspicious
Of it.

10000. After travelling through the princi-

where the literary exercises of the day, an

The Iinlcs is surprised and amused at our
statement that the selections from R,v.
Henry Warl Beechcrs sermons are gathered
for our columns in advanc, OF their puhlicI-
ton in any other place and shape, because it
finds long report of the same sermon in the
y. Y. B.nner of Light published two day,
before the publication in the FREE PREss.
Now we did not say that the thoughts from
Mr.. Bccchcr's sermons would app:ar in our
paper IN advance Of their publication else
where, (tholgh d.ubtlcss that will often be
the casc,) and what we did say is strictly and
to the letter true. The selections from Mr..
Boochcr's sermons will not be taken ut
second hand from any other publication, but
will be gathered for the Free Press from the
lips of the speaker, and Of course, in advance
Of their publication in any other way. The
notes we published, Monday, were received by
us tUcek prerious, and if we had found it
convenient to print them then, would have
been printed by us, four days in advance of
the n. Y. Banner Of Light. in which pap-r
the Times finds report Of the sermon. In
that case our ncishbor would have been
obliged to choose some other way in which
to cry sour-grapes."

Mr.. Sickle. Even there however, some will
