The Wesleyan mission at Cape Coast,
Africa, has suffered of late through the
inroad Of the Ashantees upon the terri
tory under English protection inhabited
by the Fantees and kindred tribes.
Many of their mission congregations
and schools have been scattered, all the
interior schools have been closed, and
their agents compelled to remove their
property to Cape Coast, as far as it is
practicable; and it is reported that the
chapels at Denkira, Kwaman, Abudzl
and Demonasi, as well as the mission
houses, have been burnt. At last ac-
counts the prospects were that the
Ashantees would soon annihilate their
enemies and the English stations as
well.

this season. To most productive seal nsh-

has seen for twenty years. The catch OF cod
on Labrador has been above an average, and
herring has been taken in immense quantities.
The shore fishery has been excellent. The
summer was fine and very favorable for the
cure of fish, and the fall, so far, has been de-
lightful. The price of fish is still high, being
nearly four dollars per quntal for best quail

obtain good prices. Men are so scarce at st.

inflammation of the lungs, had raised large
quantities of blood ard purulent matter, at
tended with every symptom Of consumption.
After obtaining the attendance of two eminent

was persuaded to try Fellows Syrup of Hy-

| had every reason to believe she would be
cured Her physician was surprised to find
her Improvement rapid, and advised her to
continue its use, which she did until her COM
plete recovery. Two years have elapsed,
during which time she has neither taken nor
required any medicine, enjoying good health,
and urges all who are afflicted with any lung
or chest trouble to use the Uypo, without
fail.
My wife, also having been in bad health for
some time, and having had typhoid fever in
December last, which left her much pros
trated, was advised by the physicians to use
this remedy to build her up. Before taking
half bottle she found herself much nefted,
and still continues to use it.
