Destructive Fire.

On last Saturday the dwelling
house of Col. Thos. A. Kasey, former
ly owned by the late G. o. White, was
entirely destroyed by fire. About s
o'clock of the same night, a two-story
kitchen, near the dwelling, caught on
fire, but was soon extinguished, or
thought to be; but about o'clock our
C teens were again aroused by the
alarm of fire from the the same locali-
ty. The fire it seems had not been en-
tirely put out, and the building was
sgain in flames, and by the time the
Fire Company had arrived it was be-
yond their control. The building was
a large frame one, and the wind being
high, was soon beyond the control of
human exertions. The greater part of
Col. Kasey's furniture was saved,
though somewhat damaged. His loss
is estimated at about $4,000, which
was fully covered by Instrumentation

zens, of all classes, establishes the TACT, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. Inc most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases Of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
" known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and Misunderstanding sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product Of long, labsrious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

forenoon. Everything progressed smooth

refused to do, aud all sntreaties or com

over Eve hours he stood upon his engine and

utterly at loss to account for his sinslau

seems at all probable ia that he was Graz
