Very few, perhaps. of our readers are
strangers TO the popular dry goods estab-
lishment of Strawbridge & Clothier,
Philadelphia, but only those who have
visited their store within the past few
weeks can form any idea OF the immense
assortment, now on exhibition, Of those
unique French novelties in dress textures.
which Of late have become so fashiona-
bic.
Forseeing the great demand for these
goods, q member OF the firm visited the
manufacturing centres of France and per
sonally selected the choicest styles, MANY
OF which are confined 10 themselves and
are shown nowhere else in this country.
The cheaper fabrics, this firm now. as
heretofore, are distributing to their Gus
TONERS at the same price per yard as the
country merchant pays Tor the Identical
goods by the case.
Every department OF the house is con-
Quoted on the principle OF delivering
goods to the people at one small uniform
profit above the cost OF production.
We would remind our lady readers who
cannot spare the time 10 visit Eighth and
Market streets in person, to avail them
selves of this firms original system OF
shopping by mail, which gives the most
distant customer as nearly as possible all
the advantages of the Philadelphia resi-
dent.

ToRTUREs THAI NEED NOT BE En-
DURED.-People suffer a great deal OF
pain UNNECESSARILY. Among fortunes
that need no be endured are those in
fiicled by rheumatism and govt since
the aerid element in the blood which pro-
duces them by contact with the sensitive
covering ofthe muscles and joints may be
eliminted by the use of that matches de-
purent, HOsteiiers Stomach Bitters, be-
fore the inilammaiory symptoms are devel-
oped to any great extent. When il is con-
sidered what ~excruciaiing tortures rheu-
maiism ~inflicis, and what a tendency it
has, when fully developed. TO attack the
heart, the ACCESSIBILITY OF an early use OF
such u r.liable aniidote becomes at once
apparent. The rheumatic virus is ex-
PEELED from the blood by the increased &C
ton OF the kidneys-which act as strain
ers-produeed by the Biilers. and the
~sIiierer will find. II he uses this supreme
defensive agent, that he will be protected
against a return OF the agonizing CON-
plant. Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver
complaints and other maladies, are also
cured by this admirable remedy.

FRrEpESsBCRe ITEMs.-The monotony
OF our town has been recently somewhat
disturbed by csrrept events and Changes,
which | wish to note for publication in
the columns of your worthy paper. First
We notice q change in our mercantile al
fairs. George N. Nef has stepped down
and out. and Was succeeded by solomon

who purchased the Daniel Mostoller farm
at Assiguec's sale. paid US . visit recently
Ia get possession OF the same. Mr.. Mos
ioller .'held the fort" with great tenacity,
and showed an unwilling disposition 10
surrender unless compelled to do so by le-
gal process. Sheriff Pile was on hand TO
vindicste the majesty OF the law of the
land. and Was compelled to press into ser
vice q posse OF about twenty Eve able
bodied men TO remove and carry out upon
the public highway Mr.. M~ostol,er's re
naming effec.s and worldly goods. The
last article that was removed was the crib,
containing an infant baby, and the cries
and lamentations OF the mother and chill
dren were anything but pleasant TO those
around.
Mr.. Mostollers case seems 10 be an un-
paralleled one. Ten years ago Mr.. Mos
toller could gaze over the broad and thrift
ty fields of one of the finest farms in this
section OF the county, and say. II am mon
arch of all | survey" He had a fine
stock of horses and cattle. all the latest i'm
proved machinery and implements of a
wellto-do and independent farmer, and
floating gently down upon the stream OF
wealth and afiiuence. But Mr. Mostoller.
like many others now in the same predica-
mens. bought additional lands at war
prices; the crash came, and the shrinkage
OF real estate, together with other misfor-
tunes, has now completely knocked the
bottom out. Mr.. Mostoller tor the last
three or tour years has fought the tidal
WAYS OF adversely with more than ordina:
ry desperation, with the hope OF gaining
landing on the other shore. and anchoring
safely in the harbor Of peace and prospect
ty. but he has now been compelled to
take refuge and shelter in a little tenant
house in F~riedensburg. and says when he
wants TO speculate again he will start a
National Bank.

DESTRUCTION OF Qua.

But if Caracas has escaped unror-

vicinity did not. Several villages,
towns and haciendas near here were
more or less injured. 1t was 70
served for the town of Qua to suffer
in most fearful manner, receiving
about all the serious damage re-
sulting from the shock. Cha lies
about fifteen miles from here, and
is, or was, handsome, fourishing
town. The shock of the 18th en-
tirely destroyed it. The loss of lifo
is fearful. No full account has yet
been obtained of the number killed.
About two hundred have thus far
been taken from the ruins. Three
hundred soldiers from this city,
aided by q large number of volun-
teers, worked with tho most un-
relaxing energy in the difficult and
laborious task Of extricating tho
bodies. The stencil was almost in :
supportable. After the search had
ceased. fire was applied to the ruins,
in order to prevent pestilence.
The government under General
Alcant lra used every exortion to
alleviate the sufferings of the sick,
the wounded and the houseless.
The president, at the first news of
tho disaster, despatched large
body of men to their relief with cart
loads of provisions. He also sent
doctors and surgeons to care for
the injured, as we'll as coaches to
bring the people into the city, and
announced that he took the suf-.
ferers oil under his private protec-
ton. This nobleact has won for him
great praise.

F''om the Ne,o Forlt HeraM]
Caracas, Nay 1, 1878. We have
been suffering for weeks past from
uncommon heat; the sky has boon
overcast and fiery, our expected
rains have not come, our folds arc
parched and the death roll in the
city has greatly increased. Our
cityis surrounded by high noun .
tains, and these have beon all ablaze
for weeks. At night the scene is
grand and weird. High above on
all sides, the flames onwrappin3 the
mountain tops and the steep mac.
cessible points, whirling and eddy
ing the iitful gusts ana dancing in
and ont OF the h flows as it were in
merry sport, bidding defiance to the
hundreds of people trying to stay
its wild fury, which seemed deter
mined to consume all the green
things around us and leave us bare
OF verdurc or it might bo deter
mlnatlon to give us specimen of
fireworks and illumination for our
Holy Week, about to begin. How
ever that may be, our attention to
the scene Was suspended on the
18th ult., at about twenty minutes
to nine p. m, by something much
more interesting. at that moment
l. heard noise like thousand ton
engine rushing vt full speed over
the rough pavement, with the un-
earthly saricking of u dozen locomo-
tlvos run mad. Then the ground
beneath me began to move and roll
and shake, anl tho walls of tho
house seemed disposed for dance,
and the ceiling began to drop
specimens of its clustering. About
that time I and my household found
the open yard a very pleasant place,
ana then III three or four seconds it
WAS over, and all was quiet in
nature. Not 50, however, with the
people. They kept up terrible
amount of screaming and praying
and kneelihg for some time. L,tor
IN the evening T took stroll
through tho different parks and
open places and found them all
filled with people. some with beds
and some without, but all determined
to keep out Of the houses, which
might tumble upon them if another
shake as severe should come. All
had the fear Of another catastrophe
like that of 1912 botore their minds.
But only slight shocks were felt
aftc"ward. About nine o'clock tho
next night another quito severe one
was felt. NJ damage of importance
occurred in the city. Ono house in
the suburbs had it's roof shaken
down, a few pictures and mirrors
fell from the walls. A saint or two
in the churches fell from their
places and wero broken--fell from
grace, I suppose.
