sudden cold, which resulted In very severe cough

SO much reduced that my friends frankly told me
that must die. At this crisis heard of WistaT'S

Boston, who had previously told me that a cure was
hopeless, came in, and informed him what ] had
TAKEN He examined the Balsam and advised me
continued to improve daily and the same physi-

The LATE MErEoR.-Mr. Caleb g. Hallowell
principal Of the Alexandria High School, who
has been digesting data on this subject saws
''Upon experimenting to the place of the late me-
teor, find is nearest approach to Alexandria was
abont two hundred and twenty miles Ii passed
over the western part of Long Island at an eleva-
ton Of about thirty-fve miles above the earth's
surface, and, of conseq uence, 1t must have given
out to the inhabitants Of that region fully forty
times as much light as to US. It Is, therefore, not
at all surprising that the New York city papers
were filled with accounts Of its splendor. As re-
CARDS the actual velocity Of this interesting body
we have at present hardly sufficient data for COM
putation, but 1t may, I think, be safely set down
at fifteen or twenty miles per second"
