SEC. =. For the purposes of this act
the limits OF the town of Light Street

FIRE.-Another fire broke out On
Thursday morning between one and
two o'clock, in Mr.. Jacob Reeds bull
dings, between the Post Office and the
canal. The old buildings were totally
consumed. The one was a log building
and one of the Oldest in Danville. The
Continental Fire Company was the
first ON the ground, and did good work.
The steamer soon appeared and main
talned It's reputation. The Post Office
on the one hand, and the store of Reed
Co., on the other, We're saved by the
engines. Brooks tailor shop was de. .
stroyed, but most of his goods were
saved. Simon Wiener's tobacco and
segar store, was also consumed. as we'll
as Mrs. Divers residence and fancy
hair work store. We learn that the
parties were insured to some extent.
We regret to say that Mr.. Culp. a
carpenter, having taken hold of the
rope attached to the steamer attempted
to run with "the machine" down Mill
street, but fell and was run over, by
which he had both legs broken, He
was taken home over the river, and it
Is reported he has since died. Thomas
Chalfant was overcome by the smoke
or excitement and fell on the pavement,
In a semi unconscious condition. He
was taken home and Is recoyeriue.-

A PGTIFUB CoNDT1oN.-It Is a sad thing TO
pass through life only half alive. Yet there are
thousands whose habitual condition is one of
languor and debility. They complain of no spe-
cifc disease; they suffer no positive pain; but
they have no relish for anything which affords
mental or sensuOus pleasure. In nine cases out
of ten this state of lasstude and to por arises
from morbid stomach. Indigestion destroys
the energy of both mind and body. When the
regular assimilation of the food, every organ Is
starved, every function interrupted.
Now what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances OF depression? The system
needs rOusng and strengthening; not merely
for an hour or two, TO sink 9iterwaTd into moro
pitiable condition than over (as IL surely would
do if an ordinary alcoholic stimuiant were re-
sorted TOY but radically and permanently.
How is this dC irable object to be accomplish
ed? The answer to this q estlo 1, founded on
the unvarying experience of a quarter OF cen-
digestive organs by a course of Hostett ars Stom-
ach Bitters. DO not waste time by administers
ing temporary remedies, but wake tho system
up bv rC cuperating tie fountain head of physi-
cal strength and energy, the great organ upon
which all the other organs depend for their ma
tule and support.
By the time that a dozen doses of the great
vegetable tonic and invi6 GRANT have been taken
the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will begin to
feel It's benign influence. Appetite Will be crea-
ted, and with appetite the capac ity to digest
plete-until ealthful blood, fit to be the mater-
III of flesh and muscle, bone and nerve and

the skin from all impurities and wonderfully
improves It's texture. mis- popularity is particu-
