We were exposed last week to a
.pitiiess storm, that wet our feet and
stockings, and indeed our person all
over. In fact we took a cracking cold,
which brought sore throat and severe
symptoms of fever. The good wife
asserted her authority, plunged our
feet into hot water, wrapped us in hot
blankets. and sent our faithful son for
a bottle of AYERS CHERRY PRCToRAL.
1t is splendid medicine, pleasant to
take, aud did the job. We slept sound

the next morning. We know we owe
our quick recovery to the Pectoral, ,and

all who need such q medicine.-Iehu-

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 26.-Betw cen
10 and ii o'clock this morning fire

the ground floor of the Webster
School, corner of Eleventh and Jeffer-

building in the city. The school fire.
alarm was Immediately struck, and
the scholars and teachers throughout
the building were Immediately apprie-
ed of the danger. The children on
the ground floor got out safely and in
good order, but those on the upper
floors were seized with panic, and,
despite the utmost eXertions of the
teachers, rushed wildly and shrieking
in terrbr to the stairways, down which
they hurled themselves in the greatest
| was so Creation the stairs between the
second and ground floors that the
banister gave way and several child
rem were percipitated to the floor be-
low. Ella Linch, had an arm broken !;
Emma Dillon was badly hurt about
the head and the upper part of her
and Eva Schaffer was severely bruis-
ed. That a score of them were not
killed outright is most marvellous, but
these are all the casualties to the child
rem now known. Mrs. BaltaZgar, q
teacher, in her heroic efforts to stay
the rushing tide at the head of the
stars, was hurled from her feet,
trampled upon, and borne to the bot
tom, where she was dragged out very
much bruised, but not seriously hurt.
The school was finally emptied, and
something like order restored, when
it was discovered that the fire was on
ly trifling affair, and was soon mas
tered.
The panic was confined to the girls.
The boys were all discharged from
the different rooms without confusion
or trouble. The terror of the girls
seems to have been greatly increased
by the ringing of a large bell on the
top of the school house by some un.
known person.
