CONCORD, N. H., Nov. IS, 1874
DR. c. G. Frost: Words can never express the
gratitude we fell toward you for the Joy and COM
fort YOU have given us in curing our daughter
from that loathsome disease scrofula From
early childhood she has been afflicted, in one
foral or another, with it, and never until now has
been free from it. Her face had not been free
from sores since she was eighteen months old
| (she is now thirteen years of age). A few years
ago it settled mainly in her eyes and ears, and
we feared she would lose her sight. We had ex.
pended hundreds of dollars to obtain the best
medical skill to be had in the country but all to
no purpose; physicians could not help her; she
grew worse constantly. After all this, can you
blame us that we were so 10th to try your medi.
cine2 we had no faith in anything. We tried
your medicine because you was SO sure it would
| help her; we did not believe it ourselves; but
before the second bottle was finished we noticed
change for the better. She grew stronger, her
eyes began to get better, and she appeared like
another being. After taking seven bottles (the
last was taken last April, she was pronounced
well GIRL and at the present time is in the enioy.
ment of perfect health. Respectfully yours,
! MIR. AND MRS. j. +. PAIGE.

Dr. G. c. Frost 4 Co--Dear Sir: / gladly add
my testimony in favor of your valuable medicine.
| A friend called on us from Vermont apparently
far gone with Consumption, caused by Measles.
He had no appetite and was weak and trembling
from the exhaustion produced by n fearful cough
persuaded him to try your Cough and Humor
Cure. He took bottle home and when that was
gone sent for two more; three effected n perfect
cure, and he is now in good health. / have
known many others greatly benefited by its use
have used 1t in my own family for years, and find
1t a safe, effective, reliable medicine.
| Truly yours,

They are g0ing,-0nly going
Jesus called them long ago;
All the wintry time they're passing
Softly as the falling snow.
When the violets, in the spring. time,
Catch the azure Of the sky,
They are carried out TO sumber
Sweetly where the violets lie.
They are going only going
When with summer earth is drest,
In their cold hands holding roses
Folded in each silent breast
When the autumn hangs red banners
Out above the harvest sheaves,
They are going, ever going,
Thick and fast. like falling leaves.
They are going-0nly going
Out of pain and into bliss;
Out of sad and sinful weakness,
Into perfect holiness.
Snowy brows-no care shall shade them;
Bright eycs-tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips-no time shall fade tnem
Jesus called them unto him.
Little hearts forever stainless;
Little hands as pure as they;
Little feet, by angels guided,
Never u forbidden way.
They are gOing-ever going
Leaving many lonely spot;
But tits Jesus who has called them,-
Suffer, and forbid them not.

too much time in consideration. The bill

Liberal DTLFMWt.

That mysterious element, the Liber-
ais, whose numerical strength, as voters
has neveryet been satisfactorily approx
imated, are casting about to deter
mine their course IN the Presidential
campaign. It is fondly hoped by the
Republican leaders that these wander
ing sheep viii yet return to the fold,
but intelligent observers are Of opinion
that comparatively few viii find
their way back. For instance,
the NelV York Sun says of
CochTane and the other representative
Liberals: cone thing to US seems
clear The very worst use they could
make Of their following would be to
lead It into the Republican camp. The
best, and, indeed, the only way to re-
form the Republican party Of the ma.

pie have already done in a majority Of
the States-turn 1t out Of power, and
thus afford it an opportunity to rumi-
nate over its grieYOUs defects and re-

SWITZERLAND.

NEW YORK, July PA correspondent
at Geneva gives an account, this morning,
Of the terrible storm which broke over that
city at midnight Of Wednesday, the nth
inst. About eight o'clock a few heavy
drops Of rain began TO fall, and al the same
time the whole circumference Of the hOri-
ZOn began to be fitfully illuminated by
flashes Of sheet lightning, but there was
no thunder. Once only during the entire
night was there one terrific clap of thun-
der, and that was when the storm was
Just over. The lightning gradually in-
creased in intensity and became indeed
actually and without exaggeration cOntin-
uOus. The entire atmosphere seemed 10
be an element of fame, and all this time
there was not the slightest movement Of
air in the streets. Al about II o'clock
small objects lying on the roofs Of
houses were caught up and Whirled
around as by a cyclone. Still there was no
movement Of air in the streets below at
midnight. The tempest came mainly from
the JuTa range and from the southwest,
travelling in that direction toward the basin
of Lake Lemon. As it neared the lake it
seemed to spread out into fan-like form,
with a front sufficiently wide TO embrace
ALlt CutlAC NlLNs IL hlu LOL ldhob AuuGu
longer than ten minutes. At the end Of it,
Geneva WAS wrecked rs no army Of be-
siegers could have wrecked il in the same
space of time. The storm came in the
shape Of an almost compact mass Of sheet
ice, driven horizontally before the tempest
blast. In the first instant, every gas lamp
in the streets, save here and there one
spared by reason Of some protecting roof,
was smashed to atoms and extinguished,
but the city was not in darkness,
for the masses of cOagulated hail reflected
the blue light Of the lightning in CHASTITY
and OminOus manner. windows of man
uiactOries and residences were forced from
their fasteniDgs, besides having all the glass
shivered, and bedrooms and staiTCaSes and
saloons were thus thrown open to the
storm, and in a minute or two were half
filed with masses of ice, far beyond the
immediate power Of the inhabitants to
remove. for the storm was marked by the
popularity that hail stones, or ice frag-
meuts rather, cOmpacted themselves into a
solid mass as soon as they fell on the slope
of the left bank Of the river Arne in
the suburb Of the city. The tiles
of many h3uses were absolutely
beaten tOpOwdeT; stout partitions ofwOOden
plank were pierced by holes such as might
have been made by a musket ball. Three
persons were killed by the falling Of farm
house in the immediate vicinity of the
city. Vast quantities Of small birds have
been picked up, killed by the storm, and
the bodies Of several foxes have been found.
Geneva is surrounded by pleasure gardens
and vineyards and market gardens, and
these have been destroyed as if a charge Of
cavalry had passed over them, involving
the ruin and despair Of poor and industrious
peasants, whose all IS now taken from them
as efectually as if it had been sunk to the
bottom of the sea.

THE RAINLESS SOUTH.
Effect Of the DrOuth In Georgia and
Alabama


Alabama,
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Messenger, July %.
At this date in Macon, Saturday noon,
24th, this entire belt of latitude is wither-
ing under a parcbing sun ami long drOuth,
and planters are counting the possible en-
durance of crops by days. Such a dry
summer is but natural sequence of the
excessive rainfall of last spring, prOtracted
into the first par. of May last. Ordinarily
We look for a wet season in July, which is
followed BY dry and hot weather in August
and September, and these are the conditions
favorable to an abundant cotton yield.
Notwithstanding the excessive drouth
this year II July, we do not anticipate dis
aster 10 the crop from drOuth alone; but
appreheud that rain will set in soon and
probably be more than abundant. The
heavy rains across the belt of the CONT

Ne look for a wet August, and if our
authorizations should be realized, the cotton
plant will put out a new and sudden
growth, dropping the fruit already formed,
and putting the yield to the hazard
and delay of a new growth and maturity.
II is an established fact in cotton grow
ING Lhat a wet August never results IN a
heavy crop. Hence, Notwithstanding all
the glowing expectations and estimates OF
early July, the fate Of the cotton crop Is
not only highly prObematical, but the
chances at this time are decidedly against
heavy product. Speedy but very mode
rate showers may make ii full crop, but
heavy and protracted rains, such as 1t IS
reasonable to anticipate after such drouth-
will destroy the fair promise of q few weeks
400.

more continuous, if possible, than

weeds are taking the corn-the wheat
and barley are rotting in the shock
the oats are beaten down and entangled

der any circumstances Will be very

increases. This is without recent ex-
ample in this. climate, and the destruc-
ton Of crops threatens to reach the
proportions Of a great public disaster"
