MOLINE.

The schools in Moline have gained consid-
cable reputation by the efficient manner in
which they have been conducted. The school
house, finely located on the knoll overlook
ing the city, is skillfully planned three sto-
~ brick, ,forty.fve by sixty-six feet in size,
which, for excellent interior arrangements,
and advantages for the maintainance of sys-
tenn aud order, is worthy of more than an
ordinary mention. We regret, however, that
our space interdicts any but passing allu-
sion. The school is divided into three. de.
partments-- the Primary, intermediate, and
Principal. a. 81. Grover is now Superin.
tendent, and fulfills the duties of his respon.
sible position in a manner highly satsfacto-
~ to the public. To assist him, the follow
ing ladies are employed in the various de-
partments Misses Elvira Pencil, Matte
Eaton, Mary Elliott, Mary E. Henthorue,
Alice Chaplin, Harriet Rose, Nettie Edwards,

Asiatic Cholera.

TIE STRONGEST PRooF OF INTRINSIC MERIT.
DEAR SIRs-I ought to have acknewl-
edged long ago the box of Pain Killer yuu
had the goodness to send me last year. Its
coming was most providential.' i believe
hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by
it. The Cholera appeared here soon after
We received it. We resorted at once to the
PAIN KILLER, using as directed for Cholera.
A list was kept of all to whom the Pam
Killer was given, and our native assistants
assured US that eight out of every ten to
whom it was prescribed, recovered. II has,
too, been very useful in various other dis
eases. 1t has proved an incalculable bles-
sing to multirudes of poor people throughout
all this region. Our native preachers are
never willing to go out on their excursions
without supply of the Pam Killer. II
gives them favor in the eyes of the people,
and access to families and localities by
whom otherwise they would be very indif-
ferently received. 81
: Believe me, dear sirs, gratefully and
faithfully yours,
J. NJ. JOHNSON,

New Yoak. Dec. s.-The inquest on the
Bergen, n. j. was conclnded yesterday.
The Jury rendered a -yerdict that the explo-
sion was caused by the carelessness Of Burns,
ore of the victims, and censuring the con-
tractor Col. Shafner, for employing him.
In the United States circuit court, Brook
lyn, yesterday, Judge Benedict sentenced
Edward Duffey, who had been convicted of
illicit distilKng,, to the Albany penitentiary
for Is months.
- The Rising Star yesterday brought $76l,-
446 of treasure from California.
The Herald's Washington special says :
The convention to be held tosmorrow, of
whiskey ,distilisrs, and commission men in
the business, will be the most important of
the kind yettaken place. The call enannisd
from the meeting held in New York, on the
AID. of last month. An extensive distiller,
Mr.. Darnell, of Quincy, Illinois, intends
| to prove that the internal revenue has failed
TO collect FIVE cents gallon on the quantity
Of whiskey consumed in his state during the
past six months. The bonded warehouses,
| it will be shown, are a great source Of pre-
vailf1g frauds, and the easy manner IN
which collectors and bankers, acting in col
