ST. JOHN BURNED UP.

Threc-iourths of the city of st.
John, New Brunswick, was destroyed
by fire on tho goth. THIS is the last
fire calamity and the next in extent to
the Chicago calamity. Nothing could
have burst more suddenly on the un.
expecting citizens than the fire which
destroyed 30 many valuable lives,
wasted property by the millions worth,
laid an arrest on many and varied
forms of industry and spread not only
desolation but terror and consterna.

palaces of commerce, temples OF re.
Iigion, banks, palahal residences, news
paper and telegraph offices, school
houses, almost everything of which
the citizens of st. John felt proud were
all in few hours laid in ruins, and the
loss Of our hotels, churches, school
houses, banks, etc, was made thous.
and times more painful by the lament.

II. The fire was discovered in the
building owned by Mr.. Fairwcather,
on the south of York Point slip next
to McLaughlln's boiler shop. 70 the
latter building tho flames had spread
before the fremen had reached the
scene. The engines arrived and did
their best to stop the flames, but all
efforts were in vain and nothing could
be done. The flames then spread TO
the various buildings on HAYES wharf,
which were also quickly consumed,
and before the fire could be checked IT
broke out with roar into Smith
street, carrying everything before il.
From there the flames spread into
Drury lane and Mill street, following
that into Dock street, taking both
sides. Ere this, however the rear Of
the London House and adjacent build.
ings had been attacked, when il was
seen that the first fire would inevita.

streets. The buildings were mass Of
flames at the end of Smith street and
Drury lane, and while the firemcn were
vainly cndeavoring to have the fro
end there momcntary gale took the
flames across Union street to the op-
positc houses, and in less than five
minutes the structures were doomed
TO destruction. Both sides of .hc street
were soon in flames.

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold' S
Buchu has long been known as one Of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. AS diuretic, it is supe-
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as q reliable and effective
preparation. and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbod's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa
ton acquired by Helmbolde original pre-
paration. Parties who desire a really gooC
medicine should be careful and use Helm

From the N. Y. Tribune.

Mr.. Packard does not care Tor himself.
nor for the claims of individuals, so he
says, but he wants to know if the Amer.
lean people are willing to see state gov
ernment oyerthrown by domestic violence.
Mr.. Packard thinks this would be a b Id
precedent. Other people think that a
very depressing precedent is that of a
state government which can't take care of
itself, which does not derive its just powers
from the consent Of the governed. because
it has no powers and doesn't govern any
body, aud which is only prevented by a
ring fence of federal constables from
jumping out Of the windows of the St.
Louis hotel and running away in panic.
