LIONS ABOUT

It is dangerous thing to trihe with a
cold. A darKey preacher once told his
hearers that he thanked God, ''that the
devil went about as roaring lion, seek
ing whom he might devour. He might
catch poor fellow who didn't know
heard the roar he could get out of the way;
if he didn't, he desereed to die" So when
one hears the wheeze or the cough which
tells of the old lion of Consumption
lurking around, he should fly to Dr. Wis
rar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and get out
of the way of danger. This preparation
is wellknown, has been tried nearly
fifty years, and is acknowledged by all
who use it to be unsurpassed in its sooth-
ing and healing properties.

THE BREAKUP IN THE OHIO THE MOST
| DIsAsTRoUsoN ON RECoRD-HEAvY LOSS
Es OF THE COAL DEALERs-NARRow
ESCAPE OF BARGEMEN, ETC.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 15.-The present
break-up OF ice in the river has been one
OF the most disastrous on record, not only
at this place, but at every point between
here and Pittsburg. The lowest estimate
ofthe damage done here is two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and the high
est estimate is placed at four hundred
thousand dollars. The heaviest losses
seem at writing to be coal dealers. There
were seventy loaded and one hundred
and fifty empty barges sunk or carried
away from their landings at this place.
The most of those not actually sunk have
been left In such a condition that nothing
can be done for them and and they viii
be eventually lost. ..---
| 1t is not certainly known whether there
was any loss of life attending the break
up at this point, though a number of
barges that were swept away had men
aboard who have not since been heard
from. Two Of the boats, half barge and
half cottage, which were used as family
habitations, were carried away. Afather
and son on one of them escaped to the
shore on the ice, and the rest were event.
ually rescued at points below the city.
The cargo of the steamer Alex. Kendall
was valued at $4,000. which will prove
a total loss. The Cincinnati Maysville
packet Handy was also sunk. She was
valued at $4,000,
ESTIMATE OF DAMAGES.
The following are the estimated dam
ages suffered by coal dealers through the
movement of the ice Saturday night and
Sunday: At Walters Landing, 1860 900:
at Stewards Landing, So 900; at Grail and
Wells Landing, $4,000; at Walmer's
Landing, $1,000; at Cochenower's Land
ing, $4,000; at Pickleheimer's Landing,
$4,000; at Samuel Browns Landing, $14,-
600; at the Queen City elevator, $40, 900;
at Collier & Budd's Landing, $1,000; at
Zimmerman's Landing, $4,000; at Lick
ing river, $1,000: two produce boats, $3.-
600. The river here and at points above
is reported full Of floating ice. No gorge
