4 CASE OF SPINAL DISEASE CURED.
This is to certify that | went to see Mrs Manches.
ter last March with daughter of mine troubled with
spinal disease for which she had been doctored for
five years, and by number of physicians Of all
kinds and she has had twenty-one applications OF
electricity applied but all to effect but she con.
tinually grew worse. came TO the conclusion, as
the last resort to 60 and see Mrs. Manchester, and
did so; and to my great surprise she told the first
cause of the disease and how she had been from time
TO time which encouraged me TO try her medicines.
Ididso. and now my daughter is able TO be around
the house all of the time She also rides ten or ff.
teen miles without any trouble or Inconvenience and
think In short time she viii be restored to perfect
health. Since my daughter has been doctoripg l
have heard OF great many cases that Mrs Manchts
ter has cured. think if any person deserves pat.
ronage is the who tries to preserve the health
of the sick and suffering; and know that she uses
every effort which lies in her power to benefit her

'sWAsHfNGroN-Mid Midnight, November L.
RI the Mayor of Buffalo: The British Minis,
rtr, Lord Lyons, has tonight officially notified
he Government that, from telegraphlc lnfor-
nation received from the Governor General OF
Csnodo, there is reason to believe there IS a
not on foot by persons who have found asylum,
in Canada TO inyade the United States and
destroy the city of Buffalo. That they propose
10 take possession Of some steamboats, on Lake
Firie to surprise Johnson $ Island, tree the
prisoners Of war confined there, and proceed
With them to Buffalo. This Government will
employ all means in its power to suppress any
hostile attack from Canada; but as other towns
and cities on the shores Of the lakes are ez-
nosed to the same danger, it IS deemed proper
70 communicate this information to yoou IN
order that any precautions which the clrcum-
stances Of the case will permit may be taken.
The Governor General suggests that steam
noats or other vessels giving cause tor suspl-
cion. by the number or character OF persons On
board, shall be arrested. e
You will please acknowledge the receipt &C OF
,his telecrarn, and communicate TO this De
uartlnent any information you may now or
hereafter have on this subject.

~ that article is not due to the extravaganza
rates the workmen CHARGE but to combIna-
ton among the Lending coal companies 1t IS
true the miners receive very high wages, more
in fact than the rates paid operatives in other
empovments would justify; but this IS an en-
tirely inadequate reason to account tor the IN
crease from Sc. SO to $ll.O0 and Sl2OO per
non In point of fact, this enormous advance
has 10 justification. The addition OF two or
even three dollars on ton might be borne, IN
view Of the depreciation Of the currency or an
accidentally excessive demand, but 81 or ~
is a downright swindle. >
