WE feel that we are doing the public favor in
calling their attention particularly to Hoods Sar
saparilla. This is not patent medicine, but it is
proprietary article possessing real curative prop
critics and its effects upon the Blood very pos

and all troubles caused by impure blood readily
yield to this excellent medicine. We think those
who give it trial for that tout Of sorts feeling
from which so many suffer and which is peculiar to
this season will be quite satisfied with the results.

Lost LU the Fire.

Among the stock damaged and de-
stio, ed by the fire in Megargee's paper
wal chou e, in Philadelphia, yesterday,
was some paper from the UniontowD
mill of Curtis Il Brother, at Newark,
Delaw are. This paper was stored in the
building, but as it had not been pur-
chased by Megargee Bros, the loss will
have to be borne by the manufacturers
The building in which this fire pre-
vailed is a large, five-story structure, To-
Gated at Nos. 19 and 20 South Sixth
street, aud Nos. Q and IL Decatur street.
1t is occupied in the main by Megargee
Bros, paper manufacturers, and A. M
Collins, Son & Co., card manufacturers.
The fire started III the cutting bin in the
cellar of Collins Il Co.'s establishment,
and was discovered about ten minutes
past eleven.
As usual, with Philadelphia's awk-
wardly handled and inefficient ii de-
pa.tment, the fire was raging like a
demon before any active measures were
taken TO suppress it. A few engines were
put into service, but as they could dc
nothing towards suppressing the flames
s.second aarm" was sounded, which
brought more engines to the enc
When all the interior Of the building
was burned, and some Of the walls hat
fallen, the firemen succeeded III getting
the fire "under CONTROL"
A number of business firms, besides
the two mentioned above, had quarter
in the building, and the loss is said to b'
$434,O00. The insurance Is $2l4 900.

The Judge said to him :-"Dennis

in your case, but while l am satisfied
with the verdict in one sense l cannot
help saying that if the jury bad taken
another view of the case l would have
Oeen better satisfied. As it is, you
stand OIL the record with your life saved,
and you are accordingly Indebted to the
skill OF your counsel, who defended you
in a very proper and able way, and who
convinced the jury that they might
spare your life. The statute limit of the
length Of time during which will SEN
lenc. you to the Penitentiary l cannot

limit now, but shall 20 as near to the
INIT as possible. II you can recall
) Inc Of the tone Of mind in which you
should be, trust when you come ou,
Of PRISON you will be better man THAI

The sentence of the Court is that you
undergo an imprisonment in the
Eastern Penitentary for the period Of
eleven y. ars and eleven months" The
maximum punishment of murder in the
second degree is twelve years, but the
statute requires that prisoners shall not

Therefore it IS the custom to shorten SEN
tences SO that prisoner will regain lis
liberty befJre the winter period comes
