N'naT THE Press KNOWS ABOUT IT. Prob
ably no class of individuals have better op-
port, nifty to judge of the relative popularity Of
adver tised articles, than newspaper editors
and publishers. Facts are attracted as natu-
rally to the editorial sanctum and the publ
cation office, as the needle is to the magnet
or lightning to iron. OF this kind of centribu.
tions we receive large instalments daily, and
among them good many startling statements
about the rapid and continuous increase in
the demand for the comparatively new, but
already famous restorative known as Vinegar
Bitters We have taken the trouble to test
the accuracy of these statements, and the
statistical result of cur scrutiny is, that tins
celebrated vegeteble specific is distancing all
competition in the class sfmedicines in which
it belongs. That it deserves success cannot
be fairly questioned. The testimony OF large
numbers of worthy citizens, as to its
wonderfully beneficial effect in diseases Of the
stomach, the liver, the bowels, and the mus,
cular and nervous system, is emphatic and
I conclusive.

Brooklyn, March 90. The remains of

that the deceased committed suicide, but, of

DEAR JOURNAL: Two vessels of about 700
tons each are on the stocks, and will be ready
to launch as soon as the ice shall leave; and
by that time four more keels will be ready to
lay. The width of the creek by which these
vessels are built, is not more than 200 feet,
and the wonder is how they can be launched
without disaster; but such is accomplished
and that, too, with great skill. Workmen are
now employed during all the hours of the day
that the weather will permit They are resi-
dents here carpenters, caulkers, blacksmiths,
riggers, etc, adequate to putting a craft COM

of great price.
A county Sunday school convention has
iust been held here, which, notwithstanding
some inclemency of weather, has proved a

ardent in advanced Sunday school effort have
been greatly encouraged.e The question box
and other inadvertent means brought out ex-
pressions on the subjects of dancing, tobacco,
the moderate use of liquors, ETC., which were
very happy, inasmuch as they hit somewhere
and somebody, and in high places, too. Rev.

earnest man, who presented variety of top

in the State. Mr.. A. Baker was present, fill
