THE CHAsE.-To the Editor Of the Reporter &
Iynaes-Sir: was one of the passengers on
board the steamer "Chase," during a recent
trip from Halifax to Portland, and having
been strongly advised, before leaving, not to
entrust myself on board of her, I think it not
ont of place to bear testimony to the "Chase"
aud to the captain who commands her. Capt.
Mulligan merits, and I think receives, the con-
fdence of the travelling public, and those who
have the pleasure of knowing him will agree
with me 10 saying that more careful and pru-
dent officer is not to be found on board any of
our cOastiDg steamers.
We left Halifax on the afternoon of Satur-
day, Jan. 21st and arrived in Portland on the
following Tuesday night. During this time we
experienced heavy and exceedingly disagreed
BILE weather. Ice, two or more inches in thick
ness, had accumulated on our Sides decks, &C.,
and from vapor condensed from the Intensely
cold air and constant snow squalls, it as i'm
possible to see more than twice tho length OF
the ship in advance. The "Chase" proved her.
self Though not very fast) to be capital sea
boat, and had she more saloon accommodation
would leave fault-fiuders little ground to stand
upon.
Any one vino has ever travelled over this
route in winter will know the difficulties and
dangers attending it, and will be able to appre-
ciate the skillful, cautious and unwearying as
siduity with WHICH Capt Mulligan discharges
his duties His subordidates we found oblig-
ing and attentive: and when next visit Port
land, shall be quite satisfied to take my
chance on board the much -maligned steamer
"Chase.' PASSENGER.

The Haxards Of Winter,


The feeble and delicate dread the winter and with
good reason. The weather at this season has a de-
pressing effect upon the vital organs and the animal
spirits, and they have vitality or mental anima-
ton to spare. The aged and infem, IN whom the
fame Of life Is waxing dim are always unpiessantly
affected by the temperature OF winter and should
fortity their systems against It, The extra vgor and
resistant power which the enfeebe system requires
to enable 1t to meet with safety the assaults of cod
and damp, may soon be acquired by the regular ass
of Hostettei's Stomach Bttsrs. The tonis els: OF
this wonderful medicine is apparent IN an in
creased appetite, more active digestion. and q
brighter, happier frame OF mind. Food Is the fuel
of the body, and If it Is not properly dgested the
fires Of life burn low. When this Is the case, the
disability can always be rensiied within short
space of time, by taking fall dose OF the Bitter
twice day. The stomach will soon begin to per
form its allotted task regularly and steAfily; the
food, being thoroughly assimilatsd, will yield the
amount Of vital heat and nourishment which the
body requr IS under the external pressure of cold
and the winter ailments which are apt to assal the
weak and untoned physique will be avoided.
