Trust what Time has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the people is
the voice of the divinity, may in some cases.
be open TO doubt, but the testimony of honest
and enlightened witnesses extending through
a series of years, and to the same purport, is
worthy of credencc admits of no question
Upon such testimony the reputation of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters as an antidote ard cure
for many ailments is based. During the TWEEN
ty years that it has been before the world; in
Vulnerable preparations intended TO compete
with it, have gone up like rockets and come
down the eStinguished sticks Meanwhile the
progress of that incompatible tonic has been
swift and steady-always upward and onward
like the eagles fight. Its Introduction pro-
duced revolution in therapeutics, and is
proved to be one of those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards. To-day Hostetter's
Bitiers is one Of the most popular remedies in
christendom, and commands larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic or
imported, on this side of the Atlantic. As a
cure for dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous
affections, general debility, and as a preventive
of epidemic fevers, it takes precedence OF every
other remedy. This fact should teach the
ambitious country dealers who eudeavor to
foist their local abortions on the public in its
stead how futile their small attempts to caiole
the community must necessarily be. Where
the game fish have failed there is no chance
for the " suckers"

A Terrible Calamity.

A series of the most destructive conaagra-
tons which ever occurred in this country or
perhaps in any other have laid large portion
of the city Of Chicago in ashes. The fire orgi-
mated in planning mill, on Saturday night
ast and continued without interruption until
Tuesday night. All the business portion of
the city has been destroyed, including all the
large Hotels, Banks, Railroad Depots, Printing
Offices, Grain Elevators, Commission Houses
&c. The FIRE extended over an area of one
mile in width by four in length sweeping every,
thing before it. 1t is estimated that from sew
enty to one hundred thousand persons have,
by this great calamity, been rendered house
less and homeless. Some five hundred persons
are supposed TO have lost their lives. The
destruction of property is estimated at two
hundred millions Of dollars Several incen-
diaries who were caught trying to set fire to
other parts of the city were shot or hung up
to lamp-posts.
Aid has been pouring in from all the cities
and towns of the country for the unfortunate
sufferers and it behooves all who have spark
OF Christian charity in their bosoms to con-
tribute all they can TO alleviate their suffcrings
Many people in our county have friends and
relatives in the stricken city, and much ankle
" is felt by them to learn their fate. 3alti-
more city has contributed Sl4o.715, for the
relief of the sufferers but this is no more
than could be expected, for when did that no.
bic people hear a cry of distress from any quar-
ter, aud not lavishly respond Cannot the
citizens Of our county initiate her example and
do what they can to alleviate the suiferings OF
our fellow creatures

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Saturday night,
about 8 clock, William Nicholson shot a man
named Hilleary Hutchins, the ball taking eff
feet in the mouth and lodging in the neck.
1t seems that both Of the men had been gamb-
ling, and that blows were resorted to in con-
sequence Of quarrel. Nicholson, it is said,
tried to escape from his asSaiant, and ran
several squares pursued by Hutchins. When
being pursued through east Market Space Mich
olson turned upon his pursurer, and, drawing
a Smith & Wesson revolver, warned him to
come no further. The warning being I'M
needed, Nicholson fred with the effect above
stated. The wounded man was Immediately re-
moved to Cropley's store, corner Of Potomac
and Bridge streets, where he was attended by
DR.. Bodsco Williams, after which he was
carried TO his home on Factory Hill. The
physicians do rot regard the wound as a fatal
one. Soon after the shooting Nicholson sur
rendered himself, and was locked up until this
morning, when he was sent over 10 the Police
Court 10 be srraigned on the,charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill. Nicholson
was brought before Judge Smell this morning
and admitted to bail in the sum of $500 for
his appearance to answer the charge whenever
the complainant is able ia appear against him.
Both Nicholson and Hutchns are sporting men,
and the latter is powerful man, and has been
engaged in number Of desperate personal en-
counters A few years since he shot an1 kill
ed man named Ennis, for which he was sent
to the penitentiary for term of years. He
says he does not desire to prosecute Nicholson,
as he (Hutchins) was wholly TO blame in the
affair Georgetown Cor. Star.
