The reputation it has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures it
has produced during the last half GEN.
tury, is a sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it ac-
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one heSitateS
as to what medicine to employ to re-
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CHERRY PES-
ToRAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rietieS of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the
lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beSet
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudeS are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
out it, and those who have once used
it never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend it from their knowl-
edge of its effects.

TERRIFIC CONFLAGRATION.
Furniture Factory in Ruins.

The immense furniture factory of G.
Hcnshaw & Sons, situated on the southwest
corner of Canal and Elm streets, caught fire
in the shaving-room shortly after midnight
last night, and in spite of all the efforts
made to extinguish it the north division of
the building was entirely consumed. The
origin of the fire is unknown. All that is
known is the fact that it originated in the
shaving-room, basement floor, north side,
and from thence it ate its way up through
the building with rapidity that it was ut
terly impossible to check.
Three alarms were turned in from Box SO,
and three relays of engines were soon pour
ing deluge of water upon the doomed
building from all sides, but could not stay
the progress of the flames. The fire soon
became so hot that the surrounding build
ings began to ignite, and the tiremen were
obliged to turn their attention from the
burning factory to prevent a general contla-
ration. After several hours the flames,
which had consumed everything combusti-
Bile between the four walls, began to die
away, leaving nothing but the blackened
walls
The building was five stories high and
was filed from cellar to roof with material
for manufacturing purposes. All this was
consumed.
Mr.. Henry Henshaw estimates the values
about as follows: Building, $4,000; ma
