The Career Of n Great Remedy

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that q new vegetable
tonic and Alternative, bearing the name OF
Iostetters Stomach Bitters, had been added
10 the list Of preventive and restorative medi-
cines. The modest advertisement which in
vited attention to the preparation stated that
it had been used with great success in private
practice as cure for dyspepsia, bilious COM
plants, constipation and intermittent fever.
It was soon discovered that the article pos
sessed extraordinary properties. The people,
of every class, tested its merits as tonic,
stimulant, corrective and restorative, and
found that its effects more than fulfilled their
hopes and expectations. From that time to
the present its course has been upward and
onward, and it stands to-day at the head OF
all medicines of its class, American or i'm
oortcd, in the magnitude of its sales and It's
reputation as q safe, agreeable and potent
inyircrant and restorative. For languor and
debility, lack of appetite and gastric disturb
ances SO common during the summer months
it is absolutely infallible. Indigestion, bilious
disorders, constipation, nervousness, period
ical feycrs, and all the ordinary complaints
generated by ritiatcd and humid atnos'
pherc, vanish under its renovatinS and regu,
latipc influence. This is its record, avouched
by volumes Of intelligent testimony, extend,
ing over 4 period of a fifth of century, and
comprehending the names of thousands ol
we'll known citizens belonging to every clas;
and calling. In Europe it is thought great
thing to obtain the patronage OF royalty tor
"patcnt medicine" but Kostcttet's BitterE
has been spontaneously approved by millions
of independent Sovereigns, and its paten
consists in their endorsement.

The weather continues very warm.

In other words, they don't Part with their

According to the old adage that fool and
his money are soon parted-it is inferred
that Ncwberry is made up of wise people.
The only other conclusion 10 arrive at is
that they have none-to part with.
The result in either case is melancholy.
In the meantime many persons suffer for
some of the necdful.
To make it worse chickens, still at the
breast, are held at fearful prices.
The heat, scarcity Of money, and high price

There will be more consequences before

In the midst Of the many troubles, there is
one consolation-there are no mosquitoes.
Besides this, Marshall keeps down the

The Town Of Prosperity Laid
in Ashes.
ONLY 0NE STORE LEFT STANDING,

p On Saturday night auOut II utiSht, "heh
the inhabitants Of the thriving town O!
Prosperity were all wrapped in slu'hber,
and fancied security, the dreadful cry OF
fire was sounded, and the few persons who
dwelt in the UuSiucss part Of the town rush.
ing hastily ont, discovered flames issuing
from the northwest corner of Messrs. Wise
& Whites store on the outside aud under
the steps leading up 10 the Masonic Hail. at
the end OF which was wood-house. The
most of the business men live some distance
from the town, but III a short time they
were all on the ground, and realized
Immediately how vain was the hope OF
arresting the flames, which, in an incredibly
short time, had shot upward, and spread
rich, and left over the devoted block OF
fifteen stores.
The worst fears were soon realized, for
in Il space Of TWO hours or less, notwlth-
standing rain which was falling at the
time, nothing remained of the business
portion Of Prosperity but the store OF
Boozcr & Co., which fortunately was not
connected with the main block. 1t is
thought that If the fire had occurred two
hours later every building within reach Of
the flames and falling embers would have
been consumed.
The loss is estimated at about ShO 900,
but we are satisfied when every particular
is brought to light, that this amount Viii be
found below the actual loss. The whole
insurance is only about $4,000.
Our correspondent gives the names OF
tho sufferers in Iris letter which will be
found elsewhere, and We will therefore not
reitcratc.
Messrs. Wise, Whites & Go. are the
heaviest losers, and not even their books OF
account, insurance policy or cash, were
saved
Messrs. Bowers, Wheeler l. Co., J. ii.
Kibler, Frank Bobb, Heller & Slecly'
Luther & Dominick, and Dr.. Simpson, saved
portions Of their stock.
Four Of the buildings were used in the
upper portions as dwellings, and were oc-
cup;ed respectively by Mrs. Stone and
daughter, T. T. Bcacham, Jesse Bsacham,
and j. N. Kibler, who lost the entire
furniture
This is one of the most distressing con-
facrations which has ever been experienced
iu this State, for Tie entire business por-
ton of nourishing town is swept away,
and in few moments Il whole community
brought to realize the dreadful effects Of
the frc-fend. 1t is calamity which calls
for the largest sympathy, sympathy too,
not only of words and kindly coincidence,
but one which appeals to the generosity Of
our people, who, we feel assured, will 10
the best Of their ability come to the relief
Of the inhabitants Of Prosperity in i sub
stan,ial mauner. We can scarcely realize
that the active business scene We witnessed
only two weeks ago, is now all blotted out,
and that nothing remains Of the whole but
a heap of smouldering ashes.
How the fire occurred is No. known
There had been no FIRE about the premises
of Wise, Whites & Co., and the Mesoas had
left their hall several hours before. There
is 4 rumor on the street that a threat WAS
made some time ago to burn the place, but
bcyond this nothing is known.

members of the Grange heard of the situation
of affairs, and like true Sisters of Charity,
they visited the house, and putting their fair
shoulders to the wheel, soon had everything

the whole household to rejoice. They
literally played "move house." (that is with
all the movables,) swept, busted, secured,
scrubbed and scalded, until there was no
more for their hands to do. We like to hear
of such kind, neighborly acts, for it makes
