DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

So far rs we can learn, the only sufferer
rs to property by this affair is the Gas Com
pany, whose loss is about 500, 900, on which
there is no insurance. BY the force of the
conclusion the roof of no. coal-house,
south of the holder "a corrugated iron roof
ing, was lifted and twisted. Considerable
damage was occasioned to No. 8 holder, the
new one on the north side. This is Il tcle-
Scopic holder, of the same capacity as Nos.
1 and .. BY the conclusion it was thrown
up, and dropped in such manner as to
break the chains of four weights of 1000
pounds each, contained within four of the
iron columns. The heavy masses of iron,
falling within the hollow columns to the
ground, shattered the stone bases, and in
one instance broke out a big half-section
of the inch-iron of the column.
Holder No. 4 was tipped out Of line, but
was righted 50 as to be of service Last eve

have enjoyed unrivalled popularity. Many prepare
tions have been go, mp to compete with It, but they
have all fallen into its wake or sunk into oblivion
for lack of patronage. From the first, this now
world-renowned Vegetable Tonic has been both
incidentally and financially successful. Every year
has added to the number of it's friends, and the de-

proofs OF Its excellence az preventive and curative
seems to have no assignable limit. The medical

Tonic or THE ACE. The statistics OF the United
States Revenue department will verify the state
ment that II stands alone and unapproached in the
magnitude Of its GALES as compared with those Of
any other proprietary remedy advertised Oh this

THE EXPLANATION of this fact may be comprised
in few words. I0STETTER'S STOMACH BRf-

The lady appeared in court, pleaded her

for appearing was that she did not believe

that if an earthquake was to come, and
