Ayers Cherry PectoraI,


such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
dpon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms Of disease and to young Children it is
at the same time the most enectua remedy that can
be given for incpient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry I'ectOrdt. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
t0rnJ they subside and disappear
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
-1sthnin is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
CHERRY PcrtOruI in small and frequent doses.
so generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do moro
than assure the public that its qualities fully
maintained.

Horrors of Paris.

LOW Iu6 Hb-ANEo AM = Alt a. y
Residences , WERE FIKED.-Paris
shall not exist if Paris does. not be-
long to- the Commune:: Such: was
their hcllish resolve, and they pro-
ccedcA to carry. their threat of, de-
stroying tho capital which they could
not retain. They set to work in
three, distinct ways, In tho palaces
and pdblic Offices which they: COM
mandcd, the disposed at regular in
tervals, sometimes bottles, sometimes
pots Of petroleum. When tho YES
sells of petroleum were, arranged at
proper distances, one of them would
be overturned and ignitcd; the
flames would rapidly spread, and
the whole building would be past sal
vation. 1t was in this way that the
IuiIlerics, the Palais Royal, the Hotel
dc Vile, the Palace OF the Legion. of
Honor, and other celebrated public
ed6ccs, were set in flames. This
arrangement was all made in the
Ministry Of Marine, but the wrctches
engaged in the work Of destruction,
had to fly before they could. set fire
to the pots Of petroleum which they
had planted in tho most likely cor
ridors. There was second method
adopted for the destruction Of pri-
vate houses. When it became ncccs.
sary to retire from particular bar
ricade, tho guards tore to pieces the
beds which formed part Of the barri-
cades; took the tow out OF. the beds,
dipped it in petroleum, and loaded
their guns with it. Then they fired
the tow into tho windows of the
house, 1t was in this way that the
block Of houses in the Rue Royale,
facing the Madeline, was set on fire.
Still q third method; men and
women were going about Paris with
bottles of'Qetroleum in their pockets,
or hid about thcir dresses. They
threw these bottles down into the
ground floors Of every dwelling they
could get at. ,-.r
If there was no room for tho bottle
to get through, the neck of the bottle
could get into certain ar-holes which
belong TO the construction of the
French houses; the liquid would be
poured in, and a7fightcd match would
be scnt.in after it. In this way, very
many private houses, were. set in
flames; and many hundreds Of wo-
men were taken in the act all day
some Of them shot upon the spot. All
day, too, the inhabitants, apprised Of
what was going on, were engaged in
stopping up all the sky-lights, gratings
andr.air-holes which connected their
ground floors with the pavements.
Wherever you. turn' 4, it. every street,
You saw the inhabitants busy, plas.
.tering, brickins or shutting up with
planlis the, two feet; of their houses
next to the pavement. Not only
were women taken, but the fremen,
also, in great numbers, were arrested.
The fact is, that many adherrnts OF
the Commune entered the ranks OF
the fremcn, partly to disguise them
selves, and partly to spread the fire,
Instead Of extinyuishing it.

on the operators table, and near
the instrument. The electric cur

penetrated through the body and
passed of his right leg, breaking
the skin in several places ripping
