CONSUMPTION.
Letter from Captain COmll, of the Brig
''potosi.H of Windsor, n. =.

ST. oHN, y B., May 22d 1868.
Mr.. JAMES l. FELLOWS, Chemist
Dear Sir: In May 1866, | was attacked with a
severe dry cough, which continued in harshness
for some time, when l commenced expectorating
thick, whitish substance, then raised a 2recnlsh
yellow and sate-colorcd matter then bleeding OF
the lungs set in, and other symptoms OF very
alarming character showed themselves. Iconstlt-
ed the leading physicians in Philadelphia and
other cities, who gave me no ENCOURAGEMENT, a.
my disease was CoDsumption spared no eN-
pensc to obtain relief, but found none. In August
/ had fallen in flesh from l55 to l36 pounds, and
sinking rapidly every day. My friends in Phila-
delphia advised me TO leave the ship and go home.
At home they considered my case hopeless. and
wished me to remain there and not die in a foreign
county. | visited st. John in October Of the
same year my way to Philadelphia to join my
ship, and was advised by stranger, who noticed
my shsS nkcn form and racking cough, to try your
CompoiAd Syrup Of liypophosphites; and, AS a
drowning man Will grasp at straws, saw ray Of
hope in the suggestion, and procured a bottle.
The effect warranted further Trial, and bought
a dozen bottles and left St. John, and have been
knocking about the Atlantic ever since.
As this is the first time | have visited your city
since, feel under an obligation to let you know
the effects produced by this Syrup. I continued
taking the remedy regularly. AT first my appetite
improved-I regained strength-thcn my cough
gradually left me, and finally the expectoration
ceased; and although the benefit was gradual,
could note the change for the better every day so
that after having taken ten bottles consider. q
myself well. This about five months from the
time | commenced taking the Syrup. \ short
time after had considerable trouble, and ttcljn 2
some Of the old symptoms returning. finished the
other two bottles; and now consider myself as
well as ever was in my life. My resent weight
is lG2. seven pounds above my usual healthy stan
dard NV nerves are good my appetite good aud
general health excellent. | heartily recommend
your Syrup to all persons troubled with any titii
culties or disease OF the Lungs OF Nervous system
firmly believing that had not used ii, | would not
now be living.
Hoping this letter may meet the eyes OF others
similarly affected and induce them to Use the
same means or cure, remain, yours very truly,

continues to possess vigorous health.

another batch of trouble on Thurs
day. The circumstances, as related
to us, are substantially the following:
\ herder for butchering firm in
Gold Hill, laid complaint that he
stopped at the house TO get a cigar
and drink, and while doing so his
hor was united and taken to the
stable of the institution. On making
il demand for il, he was refused. An
officer interviewed the parties and
was told the herder had traded the
horse for COW, which didn't seem
to tally with the complaint. A fur
Their demand for the horse with Il
threat of legal proceedings resulted
in the delivery of the subject OF dis
pute to the herJer, who departed a
happier if not wiser man. 100 much

OF the affair.

father of nice little flock of child
rem. He never wearys Of provid-
ing the little ones something to play
with. While coming home from
the Vivian mine the other day he
found nest of young skunks, and,
of course, brought one home for the
children. About ten minutes after
the children got hold Of it and COM
mence to squeeze it, the folks in the
house commenced to smell some
thing like the balm of a thousand
flowers. When S. brought tha
skunk home he didn't think it wal
ripe, but when he opens the cellar
door now to see if the children art
smelling any better, he knows tina
it was. If there is anything in thi'
world that isn't fit for children Il
play with, it is the gable end o
a skunk.

COLD COMFoRT.-That inconSider-
able number of our citizens (and "a
small boy with only one finger
could have counted their noses) who
did not attend the Pioneers picnic,
took up shady position on the
sidewalk, ana with longing eyes
watched the long train of pleasure
seekers as it whirred along the grade
in sight of town, on its way to the
picnic grounds. Those who could
not get away from business, and the
old four time losers who hadn't the
"sugar" for a ticket, said it would
be fearful unpleasant trip on ac-
count OF the dust, sun and crowd,
and they were lad enough to stay
at home. The long train of flat cars
with its gaily dressed and happy
living freight was sight well calcu
lated to tempt one away from bust
ness and arouse all the envy IN de-
prived humau nature.

AFFAIRS AT THE MINT.-Affairs
at the Carson Mint, during the an

in very satisfa Glory condition. We
understand that the result of the
cleanup will exceed that of any pre-
vious year, and that the amount of
wastage will come within the figures
prescribed by the Treasury Depart
ment-a result not achieved last year,
and one demonstrating the efficiency
and honesty of the Mint officials.
For the past year 1900, 900 ounces of
silver have been treated, against p
200, 900 last year, and 2l5,00O ounces
of gold against l77,OO0 ounces last
year. For several days past the AS
sayer has been engaged in making
approximate assays of the Consoli-
dated Virginia bullion received as
instalments on the $l,50O,OOO pur-
chase. $250,O00 of this lot will be
coined into dimes and 20-cent pieces
at Carson and the remainder worked
up at the Philadelphia mint. DR..

THE PIONEERS Picnic yesterday
was unquestionably the most sue
cessful affair of the kind in point of
numbers, pleasantness of weather,
and in every necessary contribution
to pleasure, that has ever occurred
within the history of the State. No
one can even approximately estimate
the number in attendance, but an
idea may be had by the fact that not
less than 5000 people were on the
excursion train which passed Carson
and this is but a part of the null
titude. Every available vehicle in
Carson. Dayton, Silver City, Gold
Hill and Virginia was brought into
requsition for the occasion. We are
without time or space this morning
to give so elaborate report as we
desire, and therefore attempt no de
tails. The gathering on the grounds
was of the most orderly character;
no wran9ling or lighting occurred to
mar the pleasures OF the day, and we
saw none whose countenauce indi-
Gated anything bat the mostagreeabie
state of mind. The conduct of the
programme mapped out reflects great
credit upon the Pioneers, and the
day is one that VIII be long remem-
bered by them and their many
friends.

THE MOUNTAIN FLOWER.

When rambling DER the mountain ton
saw pretty flower,
Which bloomed as fair and beautiful
As in lady's bower
stopped TO pluck it! but thorn
Then pierced my fingers through,
And spitefully it seemed to say,
I'll guard my treasure true
But still said, you're mine, sweet flower! =
And quickly quelled my wrath,
For the flower said, I'm lovely still"
Though thorns surround my path
skillfully removed the thorns
From off the slender stem,
And bore it carefully away
doubly priced it then
For 1t taught me to be kind and good,
And patient all the while;
And greet the weary traveller
Forever with a smile.
MAUD.
