fever and ague, or to Danish Tho atrocious dis
ease by II course of that standard anti trbrile

be much doubt as to the response of the ma
laria-stiicken to this inquiry From every
locality on this continent whose inhabitants
are tornented with the shivcring plague
comes an increasing demand for the only gen-
uine preventive and eradicuut of malaria pro-
vided by science. The deuizcns of tevec and
ague districts well know how utterly made
luate to do more than give u brief respite are
The so called remedies OF the faculty. Quin-

souous ralliatives. which cease after time to
produce any beneficial effect whatever, and if
persisted in wreak irreparable mischief upon
the system Everywhere they are being
abandoned by intelligent persons, and that
genuine vegetable specific for intermittent
md remittrnt disease, Hostetter's Bltters
substituted In their place.

AsHrABuLA HARBoR.


The Cleveland papers are coming to
their senses in regard to this harbor; the
following item we clip from the Herald Of
Monday: ~,
The new lighthouse at the harboris COM
pleted and was lighted for the first time
last week, It is Situated upon the west
pier, at the extreme end. /. This improve
ment is one which has long been called for,
and its final acquisition meets with general
satisfaction. Any quantity OK coal can now
be obtained by tugs, or boats Of any kind,
requiring it. The depth Of the water in
the creek will average fully sixteen feet.
The depth on the bar Is between fourteen
and fifteen feet, and will allow the entrance
OF any vessel. Several tugs wintering here
have just been repaired and placed in readi-
ness for the opening season. Vessel own
ers are also beginning to think Of naviga-
ton, and before long some Of the schooners
will be rugged out. tl
The followingis the Government descrip.
ton Of the new light at this Harbor:
The lighthouse authorities announce that
on and after the opening Of navigation
1875, light viii be shown from the beacoE
erected near the present end Of the wes'

The concert of the Symphonian Orches-
tra ON Tuesday evening, was an exhibition
~ home talent, recognized BY our citizens,
and was responded to by good house.
The performances were varied-bOth vocal
and instrumental-and very meritorious.
The instrumental performers were all good,
and their combination Of instruments such
Is to produce most agreeable harmony.
Charley Leek, the leader, is particularly at
home on the violin, and Messrs. ScOviIle
and Reeves no less 50 on their respective
Instruments. Mr.. Gates is master Of the
VOL and Charley Richardson is making q
man Of himself as a violinist. The har-
monicon by Mr. Menneiiey with The gul-
tar aecompauiments surprised every one by
the good effect produced. The quartet
fute and violin-by Messrs- Leek and
Waite was delicious music The solo and
5,at nv Reeves and Richardson upon the
puitsrs were much Of the same character.
The vocal performances we're highly sat-
isfactory-the quartet by Mrs. Harmon.
Miss Sophie Hall and Messrs. Waite and
Harris, was unexceptiOnally good. The
same is true Of the solos by Mrs. Harmon
and Wellman. We should not forget the
piano solos BY Miss Hal, which we're in her
always sppreciative style.
A featurs Of the entertainment was the
singing Of 4 stanza or two by the Rev. Mr.,
Wilson. a missionary from Northern India,
who happened to be present, in Sanscrit, at
the request Of some Of his friends in the
audience. It was very singular and inte-
resting performance, considering it was
rendered in accordance with the rules Of
living language.

silence is, / am only recovering from the
shock produced by the last reply of my old

things are moving quietly along-even the
dogs have been rather quiet for several
weeks-only one had the impudenoe to
throttle an old eve for neighbor Alderman

Last Wednesday afternoon, little son
Of Henry B. Castle, aged three years, was
missed from the premises, but no anxiety
was entertained until about six o'clock,
when search was made for the little one,
and his body found in an old well on
the premises. The well was an abandoned
one as there had not been a sufficient guam
tity Of water in II, and had been securely
covered over with boards, butsome one had
loosened one of the boards, without Mr..
Castles knowledge. The water in the well
at this time was about three feet deep and
the child had probably been in the
water several hours when the body was
found. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

to contain the whisky, but in reality drank
from the bottle containing the poisonous
mixture. He instantly discovered his mis-
take and rapidly drove back to Ashtabula
and called on Dr.. Hubbard, who advised
him to swallow the whites Of dozen raw
eggs. This he did and then an emetic was
given; this treatment was repeated until
he had disposed Of two and q half dozen Of
eggs, when he started for home again, with
the determination of being more eautiOus in
