THE RICHMOND Enquirer (anti- administra-

that Grant will be renominated at the Phila-

will not support Grant, at once throw them
selves heart soul and body into the work of
making the Cincinnati Convention great

New ORLEANS, March 81, 1872.
This afternoon the whole OF the Thomas street
front Of The CITY Water Works Reservoir gave way
suddenly, releasing bulk OF water covering half
o square, twelve feet Deep and doing much
damage. The loss Is estimated at $4,000. The
lower floors OF many houses in the vicinity were al.
most instantly flooded causing great alarm among
the occupants. The centre walls OF the reservoir
remained firm, so that only one.half OF the supply
OF water escaped.

An advertisement in the Boston

Gus stories curren. in that city re-

who aourishcd there in the latter
part Of the last century under the
self-assumed title Of Lord Timothy

merchant who, with brains either so
scant or disordered that he was con-
tinually making himself an object
OF derlsion, still Numbered into what
In those days was considered stu
pendous fortune. 1t was Lord Dex-

qunntance as to profitable way Of
investing certain moneys, was add
vised to ship n cargo Of warming

Dexter went to work and bought up
all the whalebone he could ret hold
OF, fairly conerint the market, after
which he ualoaisd at an immense
profit. Having at last Numbered

Twenty-Five years ago some ofthese

ambitious Of literary distinction,

In due time all her children and her
husband were similarly affected by fever
and pain in the head and back, and re-
ceived similar treatment, and the results
were the same. Several families caught
the prevailing contagion, to whom -
told his story and recommended the same
remedy, and in every case the results
were favorable.
These facts came to us at first hand, and
the reader may rely upon them as exact
statements without establishment or
exaggeration. Here were from ten to
twelve cases all relieved from pain and
fever in less than an hour The pustules
were speedily developed, but were more
like the disease in its convalescent stages
than at any other period. As to the
quantity given, it was not all definite, but
the first patient, within an hour, must
have taken of nitre the bulk OF three
ordinary white navy beans.
We give these statements because we
learn from various sources that smallpox
is unusually prevalent Physicians and
cautious nurses would do well to give
inter fair and full trial The cases to
which we refer were those of active labor
ing families, living in small tenements
and in the winter season. 1t will be safe
to give the alleged specific fair trial.
Physicians should do so and report re-
suits.
We cannot state on personal knowledge,
but We are ander the impression that all
these patients had been vaccinated in
early youth.-N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
