UNQUALIFIED APPRECIATION
BOSTON, November lS, 1876.

Ii. II. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir,-During the past FIVE years have had
ample opportunity to judge ofithe merit of VEGE-
TINE. My wife has nsed 1t for complaints attending
lady Of delicate health with more beneficial results
than anything else which she ever tried. I have
given It to my children under almost every circum-
stance attending large family and always with
marked benefit. L have taken 1t myself with such
great beneftthat cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation Of its goodness.
While performing my Duties as police officer In
this city 1t has been my lot to fall in with great
deal of sickness. I unhesitatingly recommend VEG
TINE, and never knew of q case where 1t did not
prove all that was claimed for 1t. Particularly In
cases of debilitated or Impoverished state of the
blood its effects really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from an impure state Of the
blood 1t appears to work like charm, and do not
believe there are any circumstances under which
VEGETINE can be used with injurious results andit
will always afford me pleasure to give any further
information as to what know about VEGETINE.
WILLIAM B. HILL, Police Station 4.

arrangement has been made by which one
box is to be tested each day until all in the
city have been turned in. The Chief Of Po-
lice has charge OF the plan, and Immediately
gongs Of the city, one Of the boxes will be
turned in. The tiremen are not notified
what station the alarm will come from, be.
cause the Chief OF the Fire Department de-
sires the station-men to become accurate in
reading the strokes. 1t is also desirable to

LONDON, November THE ltmeS's dis.
patch from Rome says: Cardinal Antontlelil
WAS transacfing business with the Pope on

all the faults he might have committed du-
ring his administration. The fortune left

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

LONDON, November 6.-The Mark Lane
Erpress OF this evening, in its weekly re-
view of the British corn trade, says: "The
cold but seasonable weather OF the past
week has been favorable for tield-labor. A
large quantity OF wheat was sowed under
satisfactory conditions. The potato disease
has not assumed alarming proportions
though certain localities have suffered Sc
verely. Irish advices are less gloomy. At
the principal provisional markets holders
Of wheat strenuously resisted any de-
cline. In London q slight concession was
necessary to effect sales. Foreign wheat
was not so firm, and part OF the advance pro-
duced by political influence has been lost.
The imports last week were unusually light,
and although stocks are still large the rate
OF importation is far less than the estimated
requirements Of the country; and the con-
siderable diminution reported from Liver
pool attest the inroad made into stocks.
Maize remains about the same. Other feed
ing-stuffs are slightly cheaper. 1t isnot I'M
likely that this decline will shortly be more
than recovered in consequence OF the in
creased winter consumption. The floating
cargo trade has been quiet in the absence OF
arrivals at calling ports" ,,

The @Childten's Home" celebrates its
9th anniversary tonight at the Opera
House. The Home has become a recog-
nizcd and establishcd institution IN our
midst-one in which very many Of our
best people feel not only an abiding but
an increasing interest. 1t Is the only
eleemosynary institution otan unscctarian
character in our midst. It therefore ap'
peals to all, without reference to sect or
creed, for support. Those who, know
most abouti It's career up to this time take
the deepest interest in its future. They
feel that Il has accomplished great good
for the community, saying nothing Of
what il has done for the homeless walls
who have found shelter under itS roof.
The problem with the warmest friends
Of the Home Is to know how ia future
can be best secured They do not like
the idea Of supporting il BY a purely
hand to mouth pOlicy-by constantly
passing round the hat, as It were. Their
policy has been, and is nov, to create a
fund, even though itbe small one to be-
gin with, the annual increase Of which
shall go atlsast part Of the way towards
discharging their constant demands onthe
public, Hence the protest ofau Ondow-
meut, project that, at times, has seemed
to be almost on the point Of realization,
butthat still awaits "happy cOusumma-
