lief Association Of Norfolk; Va, the ID Of Sep

As the directors remark In theirce-d. there are
many persons who desire and intend 20 invest IN

THE LAST GRAND GIFT CONCERT IN AID OF THE
MASONIC RELIEF ASSOCIATION OF NoRFoLK
PosTPoNRD.-To THE PUBLIC.
In selecting the 30 day Of September as the
date upon which to have their last GIFT Concert,
the directors Of the Masonic Relief Association
q sufficient length Of time between the publica-
tion Of the scheme and the aforementioned date
tickets as 70 insure fuii drawing and an avoid
ance Of scaling the prizes. While the enterprise
has been literally patronized by large number
Of purchasers Of tickets in every section Of the
United States and the British PFovinces We. the
impression seems to have prevailed with many
who were willing TO aid in the work Of completing
the Masonic Temple in this city, by investing IN
this scheme, that the concert would be postponed
and rs q consequence they have declined 70 pur-
chase tickets until an announcement should be
made that day had been fixed upon when the
drawing would positively take place. The d.
rectors, being assured that their patrons will be
satisfied with the reasons actuating them in
making Q postponement, have selected
THURSDAY, THE 10TH DAY OF NOVEMBER,
as the time to hold their Second Grand Git Con-
cert and Drawing, and they hope that orders for
tickets will be sent Immediately by all who de-
sire to obtain one or more Of the valuable cash
prizes which they offer. The public may DO con-
hdent that the same fairness and honesty which
characterized their first drawing will be observed
in this. BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

SAILING TO BALTIMORE INA CANOE.
Mr.. JEFF. Rives, of this city, with Mr. Hamar
Russell, of ChestertoWn, Nd, started on
Thursday Of last week, about II q. N, from
that town in o canoe, the White Perch, twenty
five feet long, with two sails, on q trip down
the Chester river and across the bay to Balti-
more. After several stops along the river
shore the party arrived at the Love Point light
house, on Kent Island bar, about D. m,
distance Of thirty miles. An early supper was
had, and having taken in four large logs of
wood for ballast, start was made about 8
O'Clock for the Seven Foot Knoll lighthouse.
The bay was rough, and when the adventurous
mariners and their little craft were fairly on
the bosom Of the Chesapeake things looked so
squally for them that they removed the major
portion Of their clothing to be ready to "pad-
die their own canoe" in case the Perch should
upset, but they weathered the storm, and ar
rived at the Knoll light house in ifty-iVe min
utes. distance Of eleven OF twelve miles,
which was fast sailing. Fort McHenry was
reached in a calm, and the "braye sailor boys"
had hard pull at the oars up to Norfolk pier,
Baltimore, where they arrived about 10 O'Clock
p. m. The Perch and her crew started on
their homeward trip about noon on Friday,
and stopped at Love Point over night, spent
Saturday in fishing, and reached Chestertown
at 9 O'Clock that night.
Mr.. Rives presented the Perch with a suit
of fine bunting, and her owner, Major Hynson,
changed the name Of the canoe to the Jeffer-
son Rives in honor of the trip.

turned in from box %, police headquarters,
caused by fire being discovered in the water
closets located on the basement floor, in the
east wing of the City Hall building. It was
extinguished without the department going
into service. The origin was unknown, but Is
attributed to the gas becoming ignited that
freely escaped from large hole in the supply

To shake, or Not TO Shake I.

Aye, that is the question: Is it better to
culver from head to foot in the paroxysms Of
fever and ague, or to Danish the strocious dis
ease by a course Of that standard anti-febrile
remedy, Hostetter's Bitters. There cannot be
much doubt as to the response Of the malaria
stricken TO this inquiry. From every locality on
this continent, whose Inhabitants are tormented
with the Ehiyering plague, comes an increasing
demand for the only genuine preventive and
eradicant of malaria provided by science. The
how utterly inadequate TO do more than give a
brief respite are the so-eallsd remedies Of the
faculty. Quinine, arsenic, bismuth-what are
these but poisonous palliatives-which cease
after time ID produce any beneficial effect
whrtever, and, if persisted in, wreak irrepars-
Bile mischief upOn the SYSTEM Everywhere they
are being abandoned BY intelligent persons, and
that genuine vegetable specific for intermittent
and remittent disease, HOstetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, substituted in their place.
