ANOTHER GIANT DEVIL FISH.
A Larger Specimen than the Ons Exhibited
at the New York Aquarium.
I From tho Toronto Globe. I

ST.. JOHNS, Newfoundland, Dec
7.-Since the capture at Catalina,
Trinity Bay, of the gigantic cephal-
opod, which i now attracting
crowds to view itIh the New York
Aquarium, another has been cast
ashore Of still larger dimensions,
at Lance Cove, Smiths Sound,
about twenty miles further up
Trinity Bay than the locality where
the former was taken. On the 2Ist
of November, during a high tide
and high inshors wind, another
Of these giant squids was borne
ashore at the locality named, and
grounded on u shingIy beach. In
its desperate efforts to escape, it
used its syphon or funnel so
forclbly that the stream of water
pouring from it plowed up q trench
on the beach thirty feet in length
and of considerable depth. Soon
the retiring tide left it high on the
beach. Mr.. John buffet, resi-
dent of The place, was among those
who collected to view the monster,
and he carefully measured the arms
and body. The long tentacles he
found to be thirty feet in length,
being three feet longer than the
Catalina specimen; and the body
eleven feet, or one foot longer than
that OF the fermer. He did not
measure the shorter arms, but
estimates them at thirteen feet, and
describes them as being of enor-
mous thickness Mt the shoulder.
obtained these particulars from his
own lips. 1t was the largest speci-
men yet obtained, and in the most
perfect condition.
Duffet knew nothing of the value
OF these monsters, except as ma
nure or dogs meat, and he put his
few quintals of fish on board his
little vessel and came on here, leav-
ing the big squid to rot on the
strand, or be washed back into the
sea. He has returned home, and

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENck's PULMoEIc SYRUP, SCHENCK's MAN
DRAKE PILLS and If taken before the lungs are des
troyed speedy cure is effected
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonlc Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs nature throws it off by easy expect
Grafton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe
slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this Schencks Q
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Toxic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver,
removing all distractions, relax the gall bladder,
the bile starts freely and the liver is soon relieved
Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkah of which it is composed
mixes with the food and nts souring 1t
assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well If care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who visa to consult DR. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal
office, corner of Sixth and Arch Sts Philadelphia
every Monday.

simultaneously to Fuasli Pasha at Shumla

that no orders to quit had been received
from the Seraskierates nor if such orders
were received could the troops be moved
until transports came Several threats were
than used, when finally the Russians begged
permission to occupy the water lines,
leaving the interior lines and towns TO the

SLAMS pressed to point. Let us talk no

SPECIAL NOTICES.

the wealthy and highly respectable house of
Messrs. Volts % Bro, of this city, and presents
ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES in the
annals OF medical history;
Mr.. H. G. Farrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by a
sense of gratefuness, submit the following as an
instance Of the utility OF your great medicine NY
child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours
prostrated it to utter helplessness The limbs be-
came so rigid that not q joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling; the eyes fixed, purtially closed and
altogether blind, following this was deafness to all
sounds: the spine became contracted and curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels
only touched. Indeed, the child presented every
appearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tick, the family physician WIS called in and for
three weeks he labored to restore II to feeling but
all in vain, although ii was blistered a dozen
times and various ru befacient Liniments applied.
consultation of physicians was then held, but to
no purpose, the case was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We
then commenced applying your Liniment freely
over the entire length Of the spine, and you may
imagine parents joy, when, after few applca-
t1ons, returning animation was apparent, and 1t
rapidly recovered with the exception of the sight,
which did not become perfect for near a month
The child is now healthy and robust as can be,
Five other cases of the same kind occurred pre-
yiously IN my neighborheod, all of which died,
when there is no doubt If your Llnime-t had been
used they would have recovered.

his head, and the back of bis head crushed
in With an axe, which was found near by;

WHEREAS, On the first day OF April,
1878. there had been paid into the sinking
fund as provided for under section 1854

law, which sum is equivalent to about eight
years in advance of the amount required
by law; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is unnecessary for the
maintenance Of the public credit as it is
unjust to the people to continue the i'm
position OF taxes for this object at time
of great depression like the present;
Therefore be it enacted, &C., that the
secretary of the treasury is hereby author
