nothing which can be injurious to the human con-

secretions and expel all the diseased matter from

consumption can be cured, and, as Schenck's Pull

AWFUL STORM IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The area affected by the stormy term
seems to have been immense, stretching
across this continent. and even extend
ing into Europe. day or two since we
received short telegram stating that
Pittsburg, and some other places in
PENNSYLVANIA, had suffered severely from
the effects OF a great storm, but the
meagre intelligence afforded gave no In
timation of such an appalling calamity as
we find by our exchanges has actually
befalen Pittsburg, Allegheny City and
the thickly populated vicinity OF those
cities. The rain fell in such torrents, in
fact in vast masses, that houses, human
beings, cattle and loose property were
swept away by the floods, which seemed
to be flung from he heavens in huge
waves. The loss of life is frightful and
is supposed to exceed two hundred per-
sons, while the value of the property de-
stroyed is not less than 81 1000, 900. In
the country around Pittsburg the loss OF
life and property is positively astound-
ing. At one small place called Butchers
Run" not less than one hundred and
fifty persons lost their lives; while all
around the devoted place, the same
frightful misfortunes were occurring
houses were carried off or destroyed,
wagon and railroads washed out for
miles and rendered impossible, crops
ruined. and heaps of ruins, mingled with
piles of mud and sand, OF every descrip-
ton of movable property, met the eye
of the spectator on every side.

adding much useful and interesting in

respecting that ancient city. Now we
