NOTES FROM TIE wREoK-THE DIVERS
MASTER THOMAS.
HALIFAX, April 10.
The weather continues too rough for
work at the Atlantic When it moder-
ates Capt. Sheridan's divers will COM
mence search for bodies. The White
Star agents have agreed to pay $50 for
every cabin body and $50 for every
steerage body. The divers demanded
these terms several days ago, but the
agents did not feel warranted inagreeing
to them without instructions from New
York, which could not be obtained i'm
mediately, as the telegraph lines were
down. The agents temporarily agreed
to the terms, and to-day received in
structions to make contract.
American citizens who are now in
Halifax for the purpose of recovering
the bodies of their relations, and all
Others here who had friends on board
the Inflated Atlantic, speak in the high,
est terms of Judge Jackson, the United
States Consul at this place, for his untir'
ing exertions on behalf of the survivor:
and their bereaved friends and relations
The Captain and officers of the Allan
tic having discredited the statements o.
Ouartermaster Thomas, who said III
cautioned the second officer against dan
ger and that he afterwards assisted il
saving passengers, twenty-five seamen
stewards and engineers have signed
paper testifying that Thomas saved thei
lives.

srccEss RAISED UPON MERIT.

It is n subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that
no medicine introduced to the American
public has ever gained such popularity
and met with so large q sale in all parts OF
the land, in the same length of time, as
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
This cannot depend upon its having been
more largely advertised than any other
medicine, as such is not the case. the cor
rect explanation, we think, Is found IN lhe
fact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very oad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung as
eases. is undoubtedly the most perfect ana
efficient remedy for ali kinds of coughs
that has ever been introduced to the pub
lic and aft the same time possesses the
greatest of blood purifying and strength
ening properties that medical science has
been able to produce, thus rendering IL IA
| sovereign remedy, not only IN the cure OF
| consumption, bronchitis, hoarseness and
! coughs. but also for all diseases of the hv-
| er and blood, as scrofulous diseases,
bIotches, rough skin, pimples. black specks
and discolorations. 1t has therefore a
wide range of application and usefulness
and 1t not only gives the most perfect sat
| isfaction to all who use it, but far exceeds
the expectations of the most sangutne,
thus eliciting the loudest praise, ana max
ing permanent living advertising mediums
of all who use ii. For these reasons IL L
that there is not perhaps druggist IN aii
the vast domain of this Continent "hC
tries to please his customers ana supply
their wants, that does not keep ana sci
large quantities OF this most Naiuaoi'
medicine.

RUTLAND WATCH FAcToRY.-We have
been quite interested in visiting at his
rooms, Mr.. John L.. Hutchinson, who
has commenced the manufacture of
watches In Rutland. The machinery
and tools required in this business are
very nice, and Mr.. Fl. has very COM
plete outfit of both. The process of
manufacturing and finishing of all the
very intricate parts of fine watch is
exceedingly interesting. The series of
watches being made by him now are to
be known as the 'sNonpareil" watch.
We wish Mr.. Hutchinson success in his
business.

The Times has the following special
New Orleans intelligence of the 10Th has
lust been received in this city that san
quarry riot occurred Sunday in Grant
parish. The disturbance grew out of
the increasing animosity which existed
between the negroes of Grant parish and
the whites of Rapids parish, each color
predominating in their respective local.
ties. All day Sunday the two factions
ouarrelled at the court house in the vii
laee or town of Colfax, and the not
finally eliminated in the court house
being set on fire by the whites and
burned to the ground, together with
from two hundred to three hundred ne
groes, who were unable to escape from
the burning building. The unfortunate
colored men were literally roasted alive
! in sight of their enemies. OF all the
whites who were engaged in the fight
there were only two or three who were
killed or wounded, owing to the fact
that very few of the negroes were in
nossession of arms or weapons. The de.
tails of this sanguinary riot are quite
shocking, and the news created intense
excitement throughout the city. 1t is
understood the United States authorities
intend making thorough investigation
into the affair for the purpose of secur
ing the punishment of the guilty partle
whoever they may be. The war be
tween races, so constantly carried Il
