to long to publish. Mr.. Woods, of Cow

for the best doctors ih Cincinnati, and one
iontle Of DR. Srickland's Anti Cholera Mix
ture effected permanent cure after suffer-
ing for months with the worst form of d lar.

Another says he was discharged from the
United States service after suffering in the
hospital for months as incurabe, and as a
last resource tried StrCklands Anti-Choe-
ra Mixture he got well directly and has now
entered the army again in good health
One man writes he has cured seven or eight
very bad cases Of diarrhea and dysenters in
the barracks he was in with one bottle of
this valuable medicine. In fact we could
fill half our paper with similar items from
these letters. Why does not our Govern
ment secure this valuable preparttion.--
Our army ought to be supplied with it. 1t
is but short time since one Of our men
laid in very low condition at one of our

the doctors considered his an hopeless case.
She, however, gave him Stricklands Anti.
Cholera Mixture, and iD three weeks he was
able to return home with his wife 10 New

The Express system---Irs Rise, Progress
and Present Condition.

and Present Condition.
Henry Wells, one of the pioneers Of the
express system in this country, recently
furnished history Of the Express busi-
ness, to be read before the American Geo.
graphical and Statistical Society, from
which we condense the following interest
ing details:
1.-THE first attempt to run On express
from Albany to Buffalo was made in 1S41,
before there was any continuous line of
railroad or stages on the proposed route,
travelling by rail to Auburn, by stage to
Geneva, by rail to Rochester, to Lockport
by stage, and thence to Buffalo by private
conveyance. The through trip, at the
quickest rate, occupied four nights and
three days. For eight months Mr.. Wells
performed all the multifsrious duties Of
express messenger and agent, as well as
those Of proprietor; for tWo-thirds Of that
time he did not lose q trip, and out Of 81
nights be has spent 18 on the road. The
trip at first was made only once q week,
and, in 1S4S, daily communication was
undertaken. For more than q year after
the Western Express commenced running,
one carpet sack held all the valuable pack
ages, and q medium sized trunk all the
rest of the freight.
In 1872, the company demonstrated that
letters could be prohtsbly carried at low
ratei and to the express, more than to any
other direct agency, are the people indebt-
cd for the decreased cost and the increased
accommodations Of postal arrangements.
An account was given Of the establish
mont Of expresses with the West, with the
South, and California In 1850. the Wells
& Co.'s and the Livingston, Fargo & Co.'s
Expresses were consolidated into one Joint
stock company, under the name Of the
American Express Company, with q oapi-
tai Of Sl50,000, which has since been in
creased to $3,000,000 The business on
this line west Of Buffalo is still carried on
in the name Of Livingston, Fargo & Co.,
and that east Of Buffalo in the name Of
Wells, Butterfeld & Co. Wells Fargo &
Co.'s Cslifornis Express, organised in
1852, has a capital Of 100000; the
United States Express Company 9 capital
OF s., OOOOO; the New Jersey 81, ,0O0, 900;
the Eastern 100000. The annual ex-
penses Of the Adams, American and Uni
ted States Companies, incurred in the
transportation Of freight and the salaries
OF agents and messengers, amount to not
less than Sl0,000,000. The single CARPET
bag Of 1889 has grown into more than 80
cars forwarded daily from the east by the
American Express Company alone, while
the Adams and United States require at
least an equal amount Of transportation.
The American Express conveys freight
over 1000 miles day in direct line.
while its messengers travel daily over
1000 miles.
