New York Dry Good. market.

1-t1 - NEW YORK, December 70.
Inertia Is the predominant feature TO,
day, and feeling OF uncertainty ana
distrust was created by the announce
me1t of the failure OF Lathrop, Lud-
i1gton & Co., Broadway, extensive
Gobbers. This announcement, taken in
cenneotion with the suspension of
Turnbull, Slade g. Co. on Monday last
for large amount, has done much to
create distrust in the dry goods market.
Both these failures will do much to ar
rest the upward movement in prices of
cotton goods. All dark, good styles of
fancy prints are in healthy request at
Is, but goods which have been put up
ic a yard recently 60 slowly, and the
current is against rise, regardless of
cost. Gray cloths, which have an up
ward lean, are firm at Sc for Ga square.
On Monday next the price of Lancaster
32-inch prints will be reduced from 20c
to 174c for pinks and puppies, and
puppies from zoe to 19c; but this will
not affect the price of narrow goods at
present. The market for unbleached
and bleaehed muslins is firm, but rather
quiet. The best good wide unbleached
sheetings command 15ia16c, although
good sheetings from Southern mills can
be obtained for 14a14ic. Good tickings
like Amoskeag are in pretty fair request
at 20a3Oc, as to quality.

From Boston.

BOSTON, December 26.--lt is said the
two men who have been arrested in Sa-
lem on suspicion OF being implicated in
the murder of Officer Falkner, are State
Prison convicts, who had been living III
Salem. 1t is said they have been iden-
tilted as the pair who were prowling
abont the depot the evening before the
tragedy, aud that Officer Chase, who
vas ON duty With Policeman Faulkner
when he was kihcd, is of the opinion
that they are the men whom they at
tempted to arrest.
James G. Lillies and ENwarl Ruth are
the parties under arrest, on suspicion of
being concerned IL the mGyder of
Faulkner, the Maiden Waterman.
The Supreme Court has decided that
tho enactment of the liquor license law
last Winter, did not repeal the law
known AS the liquor nuisance act, or

lows:
"All hui ldiug,, places, or tenements
resorted to for prostitution. lewdnesS,
or illegal gambling, or used for the sale
of intoxicating liquors, shall be deemed
common uuisances.'
This law, it is well known, allows
the prosecution OF both occupant of and
owners of buildings so used. The de-
cisiOn is quite surprise, and an un-
pleasant one to many parties who had
been complained of under the act. aud
whose cases have awaited this decision

NASAL CATARRH
THE SYSTEM.

Catarrh consists of Inflammation beginning
behind and little above the veil of the palate,
and extending upward into the nose ana All
cavities of the face. 1t creates perpetual de-
sire to swallow and causes feeling as II some.
thing was sticking i'm the upper ana back parf
of the throat. AS the disease becomes chronic,
the matter concretes into hardened Jumps, the
matter secreted becomes puriform, the breath
is offensive and the voice assumes nasal twang,
while, on rising in the morning, great effort Is
required TO clear the head and throat. There is
often feeling of pressure across the lower part
of the forehead, causing headache, dizziness,
and confusion of thought and loss of memory.
The sense of smell becomes impaired, the
eyes are weak and, as the Inflammation extends
up the eustacean tubes into the internal ear
there is partial deafness, with thr0bbing hum
ming or ringing noise in the ear. In sleep, the
Catarrhal matter is unconsciously swallowed,
which in time, deranges the stomach and i'm
pairs digestion, causing dyspepsia and multi
plicity of discordant symptoms, which are often
mistaken for other diseases. To the foregoing,
add the fact that every breath of air drawn into
the lungs ia drawn over this diseased surface,
fostering with Catarrhal matter, and who can
deny the assertion that TO neglect Catalrh is 10
inrite Consumption.
Consumption is the one prevailing disease, al
the present day, with which the young and
middle.aged die. And yet very seldom do the
lungs receive the primary shock. It is first "a
cold in the head which resolves into Chronic
Catarrh from which the subject feels no alarm,
until, step by step, it reaches the lungs, when
all attempts at cure are little better than blind
experiments.
With every incentive to enjoyment and nse.
ftilness, there are hendricks ell around us dying
in the morning of life OF Consumption, who can
look back six months a year, or longer, as the
case may Sc, to q time when it was nothing bnt
catarrh.h Neglected at time when properly
treated cure was possible, silently and almost
imperceptibly it has transformed the bright,
ruddy features Of youth into the dull wan list
lessness OF premature age, as it has drank up
the vitality from the blood and fluids of the
wasted frame, and now, when hope is dead, and
the life forces one by one are ebbing away, the
mind turns mournfully backward TO what
might have BEEN" and tremblngly forward to
what soon mnst be

CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLHCT

Those who indorse the stupid assertion that
"Catarrh will get well of itself, or is durable
| by shutting or inhaling the nostrums in common
use, will do well to remember that the local dis
ease depends always upon a fe'mentatire cond,-
ton Of the blood.
Medical writers are wont TO speak Of Catarrh
as a simple local Inflammation, and both its i'm
portance and rational treatment are either
wholly ignored, or receive but passing notice
from the general practitioner; and thus Catarrh
as surely predisposes to Consumption as does
tho day precede the night, and is ia fact tho
prelude to that disease in eight cases out Of ten.
The disease is everywhere prevalent; people
resort TO such means as always fail, then give
and settle into a sort Of mental apathy, encOur.
aged by the belief that the family physician
knows all that is known on the subject; and
thus matters stand, while the disease progresses
until hope is dead, and life becomes a mOckery,
when comes the stereotyped and hackneyed adj.
vice of "a visit to the country" "a change of
climate" "a sea voyage" "a return of health
in the spring." ETC.; but, alas the country re-
ferred to is that which lies beyond the confines
of tho fostering grave, and the spring is that
season which blooms eternal when lite's titful
fever is over.
Let those who doubt this portrayal of Catarrh
question the poor cOHsumptive whose sun OF
life is going down at noon or watch its progress
upon those woo neglect its timely and iudiciOus
treatment. A little while and we miss their
coming youth and health have faded from lips
and cheek, the light from the eye has Como out,
the hands are folded peacefully over the still
heart-they are gone.
