WASHINGTON, April 3, 1853.
DIR. FoRsHA-Dear Sir: have witnessed
the good effects of your Alternative Balm in
my family, and am so well pleased with it
as a remedy for many diseases, that / shall
do what 1 can to introduce it wherever am
acquainted. have never had much conf
dence in any general remedy, and when
sent for you to attend my niece, did SO
very reluctantly, and at the urgent solicita-
ton of gentleman who had employed you
and had unbounded confidence in you. She
was very delicate child, about eighteen
weeks, when you were called in to see her;
she had the whOoping-cOugh, which stlll
troubled her, and was suffering from
we're attack of Pneumonia also. did not
consent to have you try your Balm till de-
SPARED of her recovery; but the first appli-
cation of it externally, affected her SO favor
ably that we were induced to continue the
use of it as you directed, and employ you in
preference to any other physician. After
improving very much, she had relapse,
in consequence of taking cold, and her fe
yer seemed more violent than ever. Her
to save her, but your medicine acted like a
charm, and has eventually restored her to
health. Her recovery seems almost mira
Gle, and we shall ever remember you with
the deepest gratitude. Your Balm will be
necessity with us hereafter. 1 regret that
there is any obstacle to its introduction
into our hospitals, for am confident no
other remedy in use, would prove SO bene-
ficial in multitude of cases. !! believe you
called in season; and were or any of my
family ill, should rather have your rene
clan, than to have any physician without
your remedy. / regard your Alternative
Balm as a wonderful medicine that ought to
come into general use, and recommend it
to the sick and afflicted everywhere.
Truly yours, F. w. KELLOGG, NJ. c.
1t is unnecessary to say aught in recon-
mendation of this valuable medicine, as all
who have used it know and speak of its
healing virtues. Every Drug Store in Rich
mOnd, and elsewhere, have it for sale.

Cupid I'm the Hear, OF /. Priest.

Several Catholic poets have pow
erfully described the conflict of GER
tain priests who, after being united
to the church, and having entered
into their profession and made their
eternal vows, binding them to chas-
tity and remuneration of the pleas
ures of the love and the joys of the
family, meet in the world with a
woman, perhaps destined by Prov
idence to complete and beautify
their life, and thus pass through all
the circles of hell-hopeless love,
unreasoning jealousy, dropsical
thirst of feeling without satisfac
ton, of infinite desires without al
deviation on earth; torn by ardent
passions, insufferable remorse; vic
Tins Of the strife between the voice
of the heart and that of the tenn
pie; excited by the very scenes to
which they give conservation, the
celebration of marriage between
beings happier than themselves, the
baptism of children born of sacred
loves, the entertainments of the fam
lily in which the priests appear to
bless the felicity which never can
be theirs, until, in this tremendous
conflict, they either fall and fall
forsaken of God, or die martyrs
to their religion and their duty

Nine Years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Smith, of Sacramento,
had plenty of money, but no chill
dren. To meet this deficiency in
their household, they decided to
adopt a child. MIS-. Ladd, a Wild
ow, had girl baby and no money
to support it or herself. They
talked the subject over, and the
upshot was that the baby was
transferred to the Smiths, under a
written contract STIMULATING that
the mother relinquished all claim
to her child Nine years have
changed the circumstances of these
folks. Mrs. Ladd that was is now
Mrs. Golden, the wife of a wealthy
man; the Smiths are destitute,
and the adopted girl is an unedu
Gated hoyden. Under these altered
fortunes, Mrs. Golden wanted her
daughter back again, and offered
money inducements for her return;
but the Smiths loved the girl as
their own, and would not part with
her, although their poverty urged
bargain. At length Mrs. Golden
sued for the recovery of her
daughter, and the decision has
just been rendered in her favor.
The little girl, who had never been
told that the Smiths were not her
parents, cried bitterly at parting
with them, and their grief was in
tense. Mrs. Golden, too, affected
by Joy at getting her daughter and
grief at the daughters refusal to
recognize her, wept with the
rest.

A New York paper derives some
comfort from the commercial sit
uation as it has been left by the
hard times, and it's cheering de
auctions certainly seem quite
reasonable. In the first place the
value of our imports in 1872 ex-
ceeded the value of our exports by
$1S2.417,491 in gold, while in the
fiscal year of 1874 the exports. ex-
ceeded the imports by SIS, 1895, TAT,
and for the current year the excess
of imports will be even greater. The
conclusion to be drawn from this is
that if we have not done as large
and lively business as formerly,
we have learned and are learning
the important lesson of living on
our home resources. These re-
auctions have been applied to what
could be furnished at home. There
has been no interference with the
generous habits of living among the
people generally, for the consump
ton of tea sugar and coffee remains
undiminished. OF iron and steel
barely one~third as much is now
received from abroad as in 1872,
and there is considerable falling
off in the receipts of cotton, wooden,
silk and linen goods. For the
first three and half months of the
present year, on the other hand.
over $4,000 packages of domestic
cottOns have been exported from
New York and Boston, the quantity
of each port being greater than in
a corresponding period of any
preceding year since 1861. The
advantage thus secured will be
likely to remain in the more pros
porous condition Of trade upon
which we are about entering. and
it helps to brighten the prospect
before us.

A Nevada newspaper, speaking OF
the avalanches of snow which have
been 80 destructive to life and
property this winter, says:
The purely sliding avalanches
or snow slides are such as occur in
dry or merely moist snow, while
rolling avalanches take place when
the snow is wet or sufficiently
moist to force into balls by rolling.
The avalanches that occurred in
Virginia City were of the genuine
rolling description-the kind most
dreaded and most destructive in
the valleys of the Alps.
A very small beginning, when
the snow is III proper condition,
may end in destructive avalanche.
A ball of snow no larger than a
mans head started high up on the
side of Mount Davidson might have
swept away several houses at the
foot of the mountain. The fearful
force of the avalanche was shown
here when one broke into a house
and killed two men and buried five
persons, who were rescued with
much difficulty. A further illus
tration of the terrible force and
destructive powers of the ava
lanches is to be found in the fact
that twenty eight Cinnamon were
killed by one that fell near Genoa.
AS we have said, small ball of
snow started high up on the slope
of Mount Davidson would result in
a genuine avalanche. In rolling a
distance of fifty yards in the moist
snow the small ball of snow would
become four or five feet in diam
alter, when it woul burst, and each
piece of it would an instant after
form ball of large size; these in
turn would explode as soon as they
had acquired certain weight and
velocity, and a moment after there
would be hundreds and thousands
of these balls in motion, all bound
ing down the steep side of the
mountain. While hundreds of
these are exploding or just forming
other hundreds are of full size and
are picking up rocks, dirt, and all
manner of rubbish, which becomes
involved in the grand downward
rush.
Toward the lower part of their
course the balls became so numer-
GUS that they bound and clash to-
gether so often that they are bro
ken before they acquire any great
size, and the whole avalanche is
then a plunging, sliding mass of
snow. The avalanche which
knocked two houses to pieces and
buried five persons, started but
few hundred yards above where
the house stood.
It started at bunch of rocks
which projected fifteen or twenty
feet above the general surface of
the slope of the mountain. On
these rocks the snow had fallen
and accumulated to the depth of
about three feet, hanging in places
as snow is seen to do on the caves
of a house. From one of these
rocks fell a bunch of snow, which
began to roll down the hill, and
the result was a destructive ava
lanche. Doubtless the avalanche
which killed two men started in
much the same way.
