showed that in ten years the debt
of that city has increased from $780,
100000 to Sis, OOO, 900, and that the

ne in 1876 would have paid off the
debt for 1861 And the debt goes
on increasing-rapidly, recklessly

VALUABLE WORK.

DR.. r.. Y. Pierce, Of Buffalo, distinguished in
surgery. and the general practice in the pro-
iession he nonors, has made a valuable contri-
button to the medical literature OF the day, In
comprehensive work entitled " The Peoples
Commol Sense Medical Adviser" While sci-
entl6c throughout, it is singularly free from
technical and stilted terms. 1t comes right
down to the common sense Of every day life.
DR.. Pierce is noble specimen Of American
manhood. He has sprung from the people;
and, with many sympathies in common with
the masses, has sought TO render them sub
stantial service in this great work Of his life.
