We are enabled scre to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty is still perfectly harmless in my

where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the maslnatic poison of FEVER

proach OF its ptemonitory symptoms. Iii not emily
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
Of complaints. but also the cheapest The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body; and in bilious Districts where
FEVER AND AaUE prevails, every bcay should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermttents is that it contains 70 Qunne

Fifty or Sixty Vessels
Ashore, Stranded, Dis

Many Lives and Much
Property Lost.

New YORK, November 11.-By an
arrival from st. Thomas we have par
ticulars of great hurricane, which
lasted about four hours, tearing up
trees and lifting houses from their
foundations and dashing them to
pieces. Ships, steamers and smaller
vessels were dashed together and
sunk. Fifty or sixty vessels are
ashore, dismasted or sunk A great
number of the crews are lost, aud
thousands on land are homeless and
suffering. The excitement is very
great. 1t is impossible now to esti-
mate the loss; it must be immense.
On the morning of the 29th, there be-
ing indications of a storm, the pass
engers of the old steamer Conway did
not feel safe to go to sea In her, and
wished to be transferred to the
Rhone, a new steamer of the line,
where they might consider them
selves safe in case of a storm
They were accordingly transferred,
and both vessels put to sea, but dur
ing the storm the Rhone struck on
Peters Island, her boiler exploded,
and all were lost with the exception
vi Twelve cr HiI6eH. Inc COHWdy
was thrown on Tortila Island, and
all hands were saved.
Nothing definite in regard to the
other Islands had been heard, with
the exception of Tortila, of which,
report says, that the town is totally
destroyed and number of lives lost.
The steamer Columbia came in at
II o'clock, and at 2 o'clock was sunk
and six persons lost. Her cargo was
valued at $1,0O0,00O to $1,000, 900.
The track of the hurricane seems
to have been narrow, as the Marmion
from Rio, and the North America
from New York, arrived the day
after, and neither having experienced
more than stiff breeze.
