Before Judge Blatchford.
We have already stated In previous law reports
that proceedings had been commenced in the
United States district Court for the purpose of
throwing the affairs Of the Market Savings into
bankruptcy. Yesterday the petition OIL Mrs Sarah
Il. Mackey, one of the depostors, to have the bank
hearing before Judge Batchford.
When the cause was called counsel for the bank
said that he had made an arrangement with c0un-
the matter until Saturday next.
1t was then ascerta1ned that second petition, OF
sented. Counsel stated that this petlton mad been
fied by the petitioner under the impression and,
through the fear that the proceedings commenced
under the petition OF Mrs. Mackey were instituted
through collision with her and the officers and
managers Of the Market Savings Bank.
A third petition was presented by +. J. Stokes.
VINO claims to be depOSitOr OF the bank. This De-
tion Is put forward on the ground that che petition
OF Mrs. Mackey was not In compliance with th0i
law Tne Judge expressed his opinion that tins

acted to hinder and Obstruct the provisions OF

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY.-Con-
sidering the multitude of diseases, it is
amazing that we live; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is Won
derful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities !;
whereas most of the remedies" are
hnmba4gs. One exception to the latter
rule demands the recognition and ap-
proval Of the press. We refer to DR..
JOSEPH WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs. OF
the Doctor himself we know nothing ::
but of his medicine we can speak from
observation, for it seems to have found
its way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as family remedy, than any
other prepaf alton, although it has not vet
been before the world three years. Wherever
we go we hear of it, and whenever we hear of
1T, the comments on its efficacy are enthusi-
astlc. We have questioned sufferers from
liver complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, Irregularities
of the bowels, indigestion, rheumatism,
neuralgia, govt, kidney diseases, and affec-
tons of the lungs, as to its affects, and the
uniform answer has beeu, q" 1t is doing me
good" Believing that what g everybody says
must be true" we have no hesitation in sd
uniting that VINEGAR BIrTERs is the Great

seasonabIe Suggestions.

The heavy mists and cold night dews which charac-
terize the present season very trying to deli
cate organizations, and in low-lying and swampy
localities they produce an enormous crop of inter-
mttent fevers of various types and degrees of in
tensty. At this very time there probably half a
million of people in the United States suffering from
periodical fevers by masmatc fogs and exhalations
What makes the prevalence of this evil the more
deplorabe is the fact that it might in all cases be
easily prevented. Malaria and damp produce little

eradicate the complaints in their INST obstinate

taking the preparation preventive. The amount
of productive labor withdrawn from active service

Wooden Nails.

And yet another use has been found
for wood. Wooden pegs, made by the
same machine as shoe pegs, are now
largely used for fastening boxes, and
manufacturers receive large orders from
the West for inch pegs for this purpose.
In China, Japan and Hindostan, pegs OF
bamboo have always been used in fast
ening tea chests and wooden packages.
The idea of using wooden nails seems to
us good one. The treenails used in
ship building are an example OF the
value of such wooden nails. The rust
ing Of nails exerts very destructive ac-
ton on timber, and it will be avoided by
the use of wooden pins. Moreover, it is
almost certain that before many years
pass away, wood will become so valuable
hat it will not pay to use the material
Of packing boxes for firewood, as is at
present done. Now, so long as iron nails
are used, it becomes a destruction of
tools to use old lumber. The use of
wooden nails will obviate this difficulty
