An Appeal for Assistance.

The following appeal has been issued by q
committee Of citizens at Port Huron, Mich,
headed by Senator Conger, Mayor E. G. Garlic
ton and others:
To the People of the United States: most
appalling disaster has fallen upon large por-
ton OF the counties of Huron and Sanilac, with
some adjacent territory, a section of country
recently covered with forests, and now occu-
pied by nearly 0,000 largely recent settlers,
and either poor or in very moderate circum-
stances.
In the whole of this section there has been
out little rain during the past two months, and
everything was parched and dry, when on Mon
day, September 5, a hurricane swept over it,
carrying with it a sheet of flame that hardly
anything could withstand We have reports
already of over 200 persons burned to DEATH
many OF them by the roadside, or in fields,
while seeking places of safety and it is possible
that thrice this number have persisted. We
also have reports from twenty or more town
ships, in which scarcely house, barn or sup
plies of any kind are left, and thousands of peo-
pie are destitute and helpless. All of these
people require immediate assistance, and most
OF them must depend on charity for months to
come. We are doing all in our power to succor
them, but the necessities of the case are so
great that the contributions of the charitable
throughout the country will be required to keep
them through the winter. We therefore appeal
to you to send money, clothing, bedding, pro-
visions or any other supplies that viii help to
MAINTAIN the sufferers and enable them to pro-
vide shelter for themselves and begin work
again.
Contributions may be sent to the Mayor, E.
&. Carleton, chairman of the relief committee
appointed by the citizens of Port Huron, who
have sent agents through the burnt district to
ascertain the wants of the sufferers and dis
tribute supplies.

VegetIne.
Female Weaknesses.

No better remedy in the whole materia medica has
yet been compounded for the relief and cure Of
Female Complaints Of the ordinary kind, than
YEGETTSE. 1t seems to act IN these cases with IN
wonted certainty, and never fails to give and
healthful tone to the female organs to remove re-
taxed debility and unhealthy secretons, and restore
a healthful vigor and elasticity. One of the most
common OF these complaints is Leucorrhcea or
Whites, which are brought either by the presence
of Scrofula in the system by some affection Of the
womb, by general debility. For all these
complaints, and when danger begins to threaten
woman at the turn of life, FEGETINE can be com
mended without qualification. The great prevalence
of these disorders, and their by YEGET1NE has
amply shown that the aleviating agent remains
not yet to be discovered but is already known and
is favorite with American ladies. Too long has it
been the custom to prescribe nauseatng and uncer-
tain remedies in place of what is pleasant efcacous
and cheap. Try VEGETINE and do not doubt its power
to carry you safely through danger and disease.

ing few days longer, thinking she should
manage the affection without tho aid of q ply
sician. She soon afterwards very suddenly
sank away, and to oil appearances gave up the
ghost. The body was kept till the next day
ABOUT L. NJ, when it was enclosed in n coffin
nnd taken to the graveyard, followed by a great
many mournful friends. In laying her out her
arms were tied together above the elbows with
strip Of cloth, so that he1 hands would retain n
position across her breast. At the grave some of
her friends wished TO view her remains and the
coffin was opened that they might do so. On
reopenin5 the lid over the glass they could not
see through the moisture on it, md il was then
seen that one of her hands had been torn loose
from the band and her arms were as timber as
OF one alive. The circumstances bore upon the
minds of several present, but still they could
not entertain my notion but that she was
dead Her hands were again placed in posi-
tion across her breast, and with the same
of cloth, and she was buried After returning
TO their homes several of the parties who had
noticed the singular appearance of the corpse
commenced to talk it over, and they soon raised
doubt in their minds that she was not dcad.-
About o'clock that same evening several went
to the grave and took tic aody up On opcninr
the coffin they found fresh moisture on the glass
of the coffin lid, and he: hands were again bro
ken from the strip of cloth that bound Them
and they were both lying by her side, and, in
stead of her limbs being in the least rigid thew
and her fingers were flexible. Notwithstanding
all this they could not convince themselves but
that she was dead, and she was rebured. The
matter was generally discussed in the nephbor-
hood, and by the following Sunday tile excite.
mcnt had grown so intense that it was decided
to re-exhume her the following day. The next
day, Monday, after she had slept beneath the
sod for four days and nights, she was again
resurrected and taken to her home, where she
has been slowly but gradually improving. Her
friends entertain the strongest hopes of her re-
covery, which, If she does, will be q remarkable
occurrence long to be remembered by the peo
pie Of Sncare. The way in which this affair
was managed was, to say the least, very sipru.

asked "Do you run to Grass Lake ?"
Yes"
Then ship me there G. o. D."
After few inquiries he was accepted and
duly tagged, and when the wagons went
down he was among the parcels to carefully
