vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and, in
fact, the word failure conld not be

two years counterfrits of our medicines
have sprung up, dangerous in their
close imitation of our Trade Mark To

each genuine box Of Holloway's Oint

A Colorado Avalanehe-A Striking
Spectacle.

At an early hour on Friday morning
last, the denizens of Alpine street, which
runs parallel with Republican noun
tain were aroused by the ominous rumb-
ling of rock far up the mountain side,
and ere the first echoes had died away
a fearful sight met the gaze of the ter
riied crowd who stood riveted, as it
were, to the ground in speechless awe,
not knowing which way to turn. A tre-
mendous mass of rock weighing some
$500 pounds, came leaping and rolling
down the rugged sides of Republican
moun:ain at rapid rate. Every eye
was strained in painful anxiety as il
came nearer and faster, and seemed
bent on destroying everything in its
path. 1t barely missed the residence oi
Mr.. Glaze, which is situated just on the
side of this mountain, and continued
on down the mountain, and was only
stopped by coming in contact with Mr.
Forests stable, which, but a moment
before, had contained large number O
horses and pack animals. 1t made 8

persons to go through. Mr.. Forrest.

early hour of the morning the lives o

The Apple Crop.

The Detroit Free Press of the 9TH
says: "The apple crop is all bought,
and nearly all shipped, except the small
amounts held by the farmers for higher
prices Apples have been sold very low
in comparison with former years. The
apple crop was a good one in this State,
Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri, ard the
markets West are flooded. The market
opened in Michigan at 75c@$1 per Bar
rel for winter fruit The prices fell to
5O@60c, and portion to 40c per barrel
The prices are now 75c@$1 per barrel
A very large amount of apples are held
in Chicago for want of buyers. Thus
far apple buyers have done business at a
loss this season, and the prospect, with g
flooded market, is bad for Dealers"
