SLOWLY, but surely, the workmen are re-
moving one of the old landmarks of our
city. We have reference to the two story
brick dwelling which stands on the rise OF
ground Immediately opposite our Office. For
anumber OF years it was the residence Of our
old>time friend, John A. Graham, Esq, now
Assistant Register of the Treasury at Wash
ington. This, we believe, was the first brick
house built on the hill. The principal par.
OF the city at thar time was scattered along
the Levee. What change has been wrought,
in this vicinity since its erection! 1t was
built BY Lyman Johnson name very famil-
lar to the old settlers.

An effort is being made by the Ferry Com.
pany, to cut channel through the ice from
shore to shore, in order to run their boat
through the same. The undertaking is a
huge one, and we hope it may succeed, for
the condition of the ice is such that our fegu.
lar communications with the opposite shore
are cut off, thereby injuring the trade of our
city to certain extent, and making it very
unpleasant and inconvenient for the travelling
public. Hurry up the channel, gentlemen,
and may success crown your praisworthy
efforts.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY OF THE METHo-
DIST CHURCH.-The regular monthly meet
ing Of this Society was held in Manchester
church yesterday afternoon ct o'clock.
The meeting was very interesting one land
the attendance fully equal to the capacity
Of the church. The singing was done by
the scholars of Manchester school, under
Mr.. Gill. One Of the pieces, called
Angels Whispers, was exceedingly credi-
table, showing good training and fine
ability. The following schools were repre-
sented Centenary, Broad-street, Trinity,
Union Station, Clay Street, Sidney, Ore
gon, and Rockets. The reports from the
superintendents showed 1896 on roll ave.
rage attendance, 1855; 46 new members
admitted. This is considered as showing a
very encouraging condition, the inclement
weather of the past month being taken
into consideration.
The president submitted for discussion
several important practical questions in
volved in the management of the Sunday
school cause, which were discussed by
Rev. E. M. Peterson, Asa Snyder, j. IL.
Peay, J. H. Mayo, F. A. Tucker, F. w.
Redford, William Willis, Jr., Il. Ii. Gary,
and others. The manner of conducting the
exercises was both pleasing and profitable.
The meeting was also addressed by
Henry Owens, a scholar Of the Manchester
school, who delivered an address in excel
lent style on the subject of Sabbath
schools and the spread of Christianity. He
spoke clearly and in true oratorical style,
doing credit to his subject, his tutors, and
himself.
The next meeting will be held at Cente-
nary church on the second Sunday in
March.

NETHE TRUTH ABOUT DYSPEPSIA.


Whoever SAYS that dyspepsia is incurable tells a
thatis to say, makes an egregious mistake. More
than ten thousand aggravated cases have been
cured by HoSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs,
while the number that have been prevented from
coming to a head by the same means is incalcula-
Bile. In winter and early spring, when the appetite
is sometimes too vigorous for the comfort and safety
Of the stomach, Indigestion is most prevalent and
most distressing Is the appetite to be baked to
commodste the digestive organs Not so for then
the frame would lack its due proportion Of nutri
ment. The thing to be done is to STRENGTHEN TIE
STOMACH, tone the liver, and put the bowels in
perfect order. Nothing will do this efectually,
so rapidly, so quietly, so pleasantly, as HOSTEL
TER's BiTTERS. This potent preparation trims
and balances the system, and clothes it, rs 1t were,
with defensive armor. Chronic dyspepsia, liver
complaint, and fever and ague are never known to
attack those who are wise enough 10 invoke the
aid Of this great preventive. fe 4-eod2w

THE WEATHER.-Indeed we still have
weather There is no doubt of it. Satur-
day it mostly rained, and Saturday night
it cleared up and "came on to blow"-
quite gale. Yesterday morning it was
"keen and cold" The wind blew sharp,
the ground was frozen, and people that
were early in the streets drew their wrap
pings most tightly about them, as their
teeth chattered in double-demi- i-semi-qua-
vers to the quickstep of the wind. 1t was
morning to be remembered. 1t will take
a genial day in sweet May to relieve us of
the chill that will be revived with the re-
collection of that morning! After break
fast the sun came out brightly, but only
partially mitigated the force of the keen,
cold wind which continued the freezing of
the damp ground and the small pools all
day. We trust there is to be very little OF
such weather as this until winter is gone /;
for it would be highly damaging to the
wheat.
As remarkable proof Of the suddenness
of the change on Saturday night, We men
tion that we discovered in the walks OF the
Capitol Square yesterday morning great
number of earth worms frozen to death.
The recent mild weather having altogether
thawed the earth, these poor worms ven-
tured from their winter quarters, where
they had been imprisoned by the ice, and
came forth to inhale little fresh air and
renew old acquaintances. They were evil
IDENTIFY delighted, and the numerous traces
of their journeyings in the pathway show
that they made the most of the brief time
allowed them. But the "eager and nip
ping air" bore down upon them in the
midst of their revelry, and changed their
"merry meetings" into "stern alarums."
Thi, cruel interruption ended the "Diet
of Worms" and the poor members-of the
assembly were stark frozen before they
could regain the homes which they had
left in an evil hour. So it seems there are
other creatures besides man that cannot
foretell the weather, and are caught, un-
prepared, by sudden and perilous changes
