Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

Cough, bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medi.ine has any thing won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence OF mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, ard among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their cstiuia
ton, it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to the various affections
OF the lungs and throat, have made it known
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most e1ectua remedy that can
be given for incipi2nt consumption, and the dam
eerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject TO colds aud coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled C0ns0DaptioH is thought in
cTrablc, still great numbers of cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored TO sound health by the
Cherry IecfOlat. 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
fo,al they subside and disappear.
singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
T354onrhifis is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry Tccfordt in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do moro
than assure the public that its qualities fully
maintained.

WASHINGTON.
General News Summary.

WASHINGTON, january First AS
sistant Engineer Morrison, and Second
Assistants A. K. Prayer and Joseph P.
McKley, have been ordered to the Ter.
ror. Chief Engineer S. B. Kimball has
been ordered to the Terror. First AS
sistant Engineer Lewis and Second AS
sistant Engineer Berchand have been
detached from League Island and or
dered to the Terror.
The President has accepted the
resignation Of First Lieutenant Atchison
Of the Seventh Infantry.
The invitations are being issued to-
day for the Presidents first state
dinner, which comes off a week from
Thursday.
The public debt statement for
December, to be issued this afternoon,
will show less reduction OF indebted
ness than any previous month Tor some
time past. 1t is understood that the
reduction will rot exceed $4,OOO,OW.
An immense pressure is being brought
to bear on the Administration to induce
an immediate change in the Cuban
policy. The only obstacle to the change
is Secretary Fish's peace policy, which
he refuses to abandon, but, in order to
leave the Administration free to act in
accordance with what is thought TO be
the popular wish. as expressed by the
most inAuen tial papers Of the country,
it is believed Mr.. Fish will immedl-
ately withdraw from the Cabinet. In
fact it is asserted that his resignation
will be presented to-day and accepted
and that Judge Pierrepont will be ap-
pointed Secretary of State. 1t is be-
iieved that Judge Pierrepont is fully
committed to most vi gorous measures
on the part Of this Government IN rela.
ton to securing the protection OF
American interests in the West Indies.
The bill providing for the dlsfran-
chisement of American Citizens hold
ing slaves in foreign countries. which
was referred to the House committee on
Foreign Affairs just before adjourn
ment is severely denounced here as IN
every way calculated to benefit the
Spanish government to the injury OF a
large number of American citizens re-
siding in Cuba, by preventing them from
suing for damages to their estates. The
bill, it is thought, will not be reported
from the committee unless specially
called for.
The Secetary OF the Treasury to day
called in $l,750,000 of the three per
cent temporary loan, interest to cease
on the 29th OF February.
1t is understood that as soon as it was
ascertainea that NJ. Catacazy had been
definitely recalled, the President di.
the Grand Duke to be invited
to revisit Washington, in order
that more might be seen Of him.
The invitation was necessarily de-
tained, from being connected with
the service OF the Russian squadron in
which the Grand Duke is a Lieutenant.
The State Department has informa'
tion that Gen. Gorlof, recently in tenn
porary charge Of the Russian Legation
here, has by an order of his Govern.
ment, transferred that trust to Mr.

FIRE YEsTRRDAY.-An alarm OF fire
given yesterday morning was caused by
the burning Of bed and furniture in a
two.story brick house in paper mill
alley, belonging to Mr.. Brewster and
occupied by Mr.. Flading, who works
in Dewey's mill. The fire originated
in one of the beds. The sheets had
been hung up in front of the fire to air.
and when the sheet was put back in Its
place by the girl who made the bed, it
was, it is supposed, on fire and unno-
ticed by her. The Hook and Ladder
hose reel was on the ground and water
got on the fire in just eight minutes after
the alarm was given. The fire was
confined to the room where it origina.

furniture and clothing were burnt. Loss

CITY.

Financial Condition OF New Y ork
City.
ALBANY, n. Y, January Gov.
Hoffman sent to the Legislature to-day
a special message on the financial con-
dition of New York city, in which he
says that in view Of recent events lie
addressed letter to Hon. David A.
Wells, requesting him to investigate and
report to him on the subject. Mr..
Wells reported the net funded debt Of
The city at $67,234,7l5.40; floating or
temporary debt, $94, ,523, 1922. The
present total liabilities do not exceed
one hundred millions OF dollars. The
valuation Of property August Is, 1871,
was $242, ,9S5, ,499; the real estate valu-
alton of the city for 1871 was returned
at $769, 300, ,4l0, and yet this does not
represent more than 40 per cent Of such
property. A true valuation would not
be less than $2,000,000,000, on which
the present debt as above and estimated,
namely, $lO0,000.0OO, would be equivs-
lent to a mortgage of 5 per cent.
The increase Of the valuation
of property of the city for assessment
purposes between 1860 and 1870, was
S2i per cent the present increase in
value of real estate is estimated at per
cent per annum. The report concludes
by saying: 1t is therefore evident that
in omparison with the actual
accumulative and tangible wealth
of the city OF New York, any liability
or account Of indebtness, which city
has yet incurred or is prospectively
likely to incur, is very Insignificant and
with reasonably honest efficient and
economical government, such as public
opinion and legislative authority guides
and by recent experience seem certain
to compel. there can be no good reason
why the interest bearing debt obliga-
tions Of their city should not be recon.
mended as the most desirable Of in-
yestmepts.

Bear Hunting I'm the State OF wen
ster-Narrow Escspe From Death.
Gu,psp,p's Murs December l9


FRIEND woFT.-I kave just been told
the following bear story, which | think
is reliable; Mr.. Cornelius Cool, a
celebrated hunter ot the State OF Web
ster, while out hunting week before
last, came in contact with large bear
which was about to get the better Of
his dogs. Mr.. c., alter emptying his
rifle at the bear, and seeing Bruln
with two of his best dogs down against
a log, politely stepped up and sliced
him with his hunting kuife-saved his
dogs, and didn't get hurt any himself
coming off more than conquerer 10
that fight. Being naturally OF a reck-
less and daring disposition, he con-
cluded last week to come into close
quarters with another bear. in which
he came very near losing his life. In
company with his brother John, he had
tracked a large bear into tree, where
it had taken up winter quarters. The
tree being a very large one, and not
wishing to cut it II they could scare the
bear out any other way, they tried
pounding the tree, but with no success.
They then felled another tree against
the one the bear occupied. That still
failing to move Bruin, our hunter con-
cluded 10 climb the tree they had ielled
against the one the bear was in. SO.
arming himself with a good revolver,
he went up without any difficulty; The
tree he went up having lodged close
where the bear had entered the other
tree, Mr.. c. soon had a peep into
Bruins den, finding him laying at
his ease. Mr. c. opened fire with
his revolver. A. soon Is the first
shot was fired, the bear started out OF
his hiding place, snoring mad, and
while it was getting ont OF the tree,
Cool fired tour shots into him, which
seemed to have no effect on Mr.. Bear,
who would in an instant had hold OF
Cool but for his brother on the ground,
who, seeing the position Of affairs, fired
on the bear with his rifle, giving him a
death shot, and no doubt saved the life
ofhis brother, as he would have fallen
over 100 feet had the bear seized him,
to say nothing about the hugging, bites
and scratches Bruin might have given
him.
