signed by Secretary Boutwell,, relative to ship
ping articles, has been received at the Custom

called to the fact that by an act approved Jan

has been amended by the addition to said sec

United States and the British North American

Republic of Mexico"

BoTH branches of the Legislature just ad-
journed, were fortunate in the choice of their
presiding officers. We have heard President
Foster most highly complimented by many
Senators as an efficient presiding officer. In
respect to Speaker Webb, it may be said that
rank as presiding officer with such prede-
cessors as Messrs. Drummond, Pike, Blaine
and Dingley.

THE catastrophe yesterday, in Boston,
which resulted in the loss of several lives, dis
closed the fact that the six story building had
no means of escape for those SO unfortunate
as to be employed in the upper stories in case
of fire, and that the walls of the building
were but nero shams, only eight inches in
thickness, and liable 10 fall at any time from
a little overweight or the jar of machinery.
There can be no punishment too severe fer
the wretches that construct these man traps

than those of Monday night. We neel not

the propriety and necessity of supplementing

selection of such men as will secure wise
and prudent city government, as the intelli-

New Life for the Languid


Perfect health is vouchssfed to few. Probably
ninety people out OF every hundred who call them
selves healthy have their 'turns'' of languor ex-
haustion depression of spirits and bodily pain. At
these times wineglssful of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is refreshing ''the shadow of rock in
weary land" 1t invigorates and rests the system
and cheers the mind. The effect of the Bitters in
cases ofnervous debility, produced either by undue
physical exertion, over-study, intense anxiety, or
any other cause is wonderfully revving and invigor
aing In fact, this healthful vegetable restorative
possesses medicinal properties which entitle it to
the rank of an article of PRIME necessity, and it
should be kept on hand in every dwelling and
promptly taken as remedy for all the minor all
ments as well as for more serious complaints.

THE CHANGERS AND THE MIDDLE
MEN.

One of the features of the Patrons
of Eusbandry is the abolition of
the middlemen through whose
hands their supplies pass from the
manufacturers to themselves, and
also part of the niiddlemen through
whose hands their products pass in
reaching consumers. In some
places they have established a grange
store by selecting some man already
engaged in mercantile business
who viii act as agent for the grange
and supply the members at greatly
reduced prices in consideration of
their entire trade. In Missouri
they seem to have adopted a differ
ent and more comprehensive policy.
They propose to constitute their
officers their agents and give their
orders for supplies through them,
the local oranges sending their or
ders forward through the state
grange.
In pursuance of this arrangement
