storms that ever visited this locality oc.
Tdrrsd early Sabbath morning this
Geek. We have heard Of the flowing
down Of two or three out buildings around
town, but the greatest loss was lin the
complete unroofug of our large Town
Hall building. The roof was of tin, but
through some crevices the wind got un,
der the tin, and about four o'clock in the
morning the whole roof with the fire
wall, cornice and moulding on the East
side came to The ground with q tromen
dous crash. The loss will not be less than
two thousand dollafs. The citizens are
called to meet together and consult as to
whether they will repair the building or
make an effort to sell it entire. If sold,
it will be saving 0 continual expense to
the town, while, if in the hands of private
parties, they might make it pay.

From Rev. ]. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor
of the Encyclopedias of Religious knowledge
/ and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favor or recon-.
mend Patent Medicines in general, through
distrust Of their ingredients and effects: ]
yet know Of no ,ufioient reasons why a man
may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope that he may thus
contribute to the benefit Of others.
l do this most re Oily in regard to Hoon-
and's German Bilter,, prepared by DR.. c,
M. jackson, Of this city, because l was pre-
JUDGED against them for many years, unde,
the impression that they were chiefly an al
coholic mixture. l am indebted to my friend,
Robert Shoemal ar, ESQ.,, for the removal Of
this prejudice by proper tests, and for en-
c~ouragement to try them, when suffering
from great and long continued debility. The
use Of three tottles Of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followed
by CIVIC emit relief and restoration to q degree
Of bodily and mental vigor which, had not
felt for six months before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. l there fore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the
use Of them.
