in town. The most interesting feature
of the day was the balloon ascension.
1t rose from the lot behind st. Peters
Church, and went straight up like an
arrow to the heighth of about a quar-
ter of mile; poised lew seconds in
the mid air, then came down as straight
as it went up, and almost as rapidly. -.

AGuE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the safe.
certain, speedy and permanent cure of A que
and Fever, ar Chills and Fever, whether of
short or-long standing. He refers to the en-
tire Western and Southern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in
no case whatever will it fail to cure if the d.
rections are strictly followed and carried out.
In great many cases single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families have
been cured by single bottle. with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is, how
ever, prudent, and in every case more certain
to cure, If its use is continued in smaller doses
for a week or two after the disease has been
checked, more especially in difficult and long
standing cases. = Usually this medicine will
not require any aid to keep the bowels in good
order. Should the patient, however. require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
four doses of the tonic, a single dose Of Bulls
Vegetable Family Pills will be sufficient

DR.. JOHN BULL-DEAR SIR MANY thanks
to you for the medicine you have so kindly
given me. l have been a grert sufferer for
years, and had the advice Of various physicians.
Come pronounced my spine, sonle my lungs,
and some my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. have been burnt, blistered and cup
ped untiI had become disheartened. Several
very eminent physicians who examined my
spine informed ne that vas threatened with
paralysis or apopiexy aLy day, and that MOTH
ing but 8 seton would relieve me- had a
perfect horror Of that, and was hesitating
about having one inserted, when you kindly
sent NE your Sarsapsrilla which immediate
'y begun to take three times a day. had suf-
fered terribly with most acute pain in the
right side of my head, especially when would
read or write for any length OF time, and on
rising to my feet would be perfectly blind
fer several minutes, and would have to hold to
something to prevent falling.
am most happy to inform You that the pain
in my head is entirely relieved suffer but
seldom with my spine and then not so &C ute
ly. My appetite is good indeed for the first
time in my life enjoy my dinner more than
any meal during the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again last
night, and began again this morning, and |
hope to be entirely relieved. Please accept
my heartfelt thanks and best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
NJ. b. C.RIvERs.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all
of which guarantee to be genuine and writ
ten by the persons whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on.
Don't be drawn away after new and doubtful
experiments. Don't risk your health by letting
novices experiment upon you with their trash.
My Sarsaparilla has stood the test for TWEEN
ty-five years. it is still the Sarsaparilla of the
day, and OF the age, towering over all others
in popularity and its curative qualities.
Avoid all those who are trying to palm off
on you other extracts of SaIsaparilla so-called.
Remember it is DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla,
of Louisville, KY, that Is the old and reliable
remedy for impurities of the blood and scrUfu
lous affections. Always bear that in mind.

New YORK, Nov. IL, 1872.
To THE HONORABLE THE BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN
CITY New York
GENTLEMEN-I would respectfully but earnestly call the
attention Of honorable body to the consideration
resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen time
ago. and transmitted to the Board of Assistant Aldermen
proposing to appoint committee from each to consider
the expediency of setting apart and fitting for the
of this department certain portions of the City Hail. The
present lease OF the buildings Broadway occupied
by this department will expire on May 1873 and early
action would be desrabe II the department is to change
its location It would seem that the City Hall would be
the appropriate place for locating the business Of the city
departments If space will permit well the saving
to the City Treasury Of the sum, in this instance about
thirty thousand dollars per annum. Time will be
CURED for making the necessary Announcements for the
transfer and in the matter of economy to the city
not urgently present this subject for careful and
early consideration. Respectfully,
GEO. NJ VAN MORT Commissioner of Public Works.
