One cold is sometimes contracted on top of
another, the accompanying cough becoming
settled and confirmed, and the lungs so strained
and racked that the production of tubercles
frequently follows. Many existing cases of
pulmonary disease may be thus accounted for,
and yet how many others are ow carelessly
allowing themselves to drift through the pre-
llmlnary symptoms, controlled by the fatal
policy of allowing a cold to take care of itself!
On the first intimation of cough or cold, or
any throat or lung trouble, resort promptly to
Dr. Jaynes Expectorant, safe curative of long
established reputation, and you may avoid the
consequences of such dangerous triling.
A small house on Temperance street, near
Pearl street, took fire yesterday about noon

wife being alone in the house, was terribly
alarmed. In her excitement she seized her
baby, and rushing out doors crying fire,
dropped the infant in the snow. That much
was secure from fire anyway. Lena Ludwig,
neighbor, and Charles Coles rendered prompt
and gallant assistance, and by hard work and
liberal use of snow, eXtinguished the flames
without turning i'll an alarm 1t was a close
call for being turned out upon q most in
clement day. Damage, beyond mental alarm,
trifling.

1t is these little occasions, said hizzoner,
Judge O'Bricn, addressing the two worthy bail
ifs, Misters Dowlan and Mullins, yesterday, as
the daughty officers pricked up their ears and
advanced a little nearer, that smooths the
wrinkles from the brow of care and makes the
thorny road of life a tolerable decent highway.
Permit me then, in behalf of myself and worthy
clerk, Mr.. O'Brien, to offer ;these humble to-
kens, which though of no great wealth, intrin-
sically, may emblem forth our admira-
ton and regards. Thereupon the good Judge
and his worthy clerk presented Mr. Dowlan
with tea set, most cunningly fashioned of
cut glass, and Mr.. Mullins with two volumes of
excellent lore. The bailiffs would fain have
made some soft speech in return had not their
feelings welled up like the mountain spring in
