Fire.

Fire.
On Saturday evening last, between eight
and nine O'Clock, a fire was seen to break
through the roof of the store occupied by
Andrew Schoffen on Main street, (some say
from the roof of the adjoining store). A
large numbr of people were soon gathered
and the fire engines were got to work with
all possible dispatch. But owing to the great
amount of combustible materials in the second
stories of the buildings, the flames spread
with much rapidity. The store of Schoffen
and the jewelry store of w. E. Reed were
soon hopelessly in the power of the fire, and
soon after the store of James Matthews, was
i'll the same condition. All three of the stores
were two story wooden buildings. Most of
the articles of value on the first floors were
saved but whatever was continued i'll the
cellars and in the second stories, was chiefly
destroyed. The large three story brick block
belonging to J. Fl. Kimball, which'is consider
ed nearly or quite fire proof, arrested the fire
in extending south, and the three story brick
store belonging to f. Robinson, arrested the
progress of the fire north, although the
wooden cornice of Robinson's store repeated
ly took fire, but was extinguished by the well
directed management of the fire companies.
The stores and stocks were insured as fol-
lows w. E. Reed, insurance on building,
$500; on stock, $1,000; Andrew Schoffen.
(building owned by Schoffen and Schand), in
surance on the building, 81, 500, on stock,
S., 900; James Matthews, insurance on bull
ting, s40o, on stock, $1,000. The total loss
we hear variously estimated, but in the aggre-
gate, doubtless, greatly ovsrbalances the in
surances.
1t is probable the stores will all soon be re
placed with fire proof brick edifces. The
firemen are deserving of praise for their
prompt and efficient service.

CURE OF CATARRH.

My method of practice for the cure of Ca
tarrh embraces the thorough topical medica-
ton Of the affected regions by most ingeni
GUS and painless process, by which everv part
ofthe diseased mucous membrane can be ef-
fectively subjected to the most perfect and
complete remedial control.
Not only am enabled by my plan of treat
ment to bring any and every medical solution
to act directly upon the very seat of the dis
case, but the process also allows the medca.
ment employed to be kept in contact with the
affected surface sufficiently long TO exercise
It's full curative power.
The striking advantages of my method ex-
hibit themselves in the prompt and immedi.
ate benefit that follows trea tment. FREQUENT.
ly, after the very first application, the fetoI
of the purulent nasal secretion is removed,
breath is materially purified and sensible re.

diminshes, irritation is alIayed, chronic in
flammationis subdued, alterations are made
to heal, until finally we succeed in re-estab-
fishing perfectly healthy surface, and q nor
NAL condition of the parts affected.
In all cases of catarrh where the system
suffers from the deleterious effects Of scrofula,
or other vitiated condition of the blood the
local treatment is invariably conjoined with
constitutional remedies. While, in such ca
ses. the former is applied to correct the un-
healthy local action and heal the infamed
and liberated surface, the latter is employed
to apply thUax at the root of the cause from
