missives than ever before. Within the past
two days over $500 valentines passed through

After war, pestilence and intemperance colds

After war, pestilence and intemperance colds
lead to the greatest destruction of human life,
mainly in consequence of their being syste-
matically neglected-"left to go as they came"
until a simple, durable affection is converted
into serious and generally fatal disease. 1t
is better to take care of q cough or cold from
its incipiency, by using promptly DR.. Jayne's
Expectorant, remedy thoroughly adapted to
remove these complaints, and equally effective
in the primary stages Of consumption, asthma
and bronchitis.

Zee in Ne,v York Harbor.

New YORK, Feb. l6.-Ice has again
become an annoyance and nuisance in the
harbor and East river. While the fileds
are not as large as fortnight ago, they
are much thicker, and no ordinary boat
attempts to break way through, pilots
generally taking an opportunity to go
around the large foes and slowing up as
they strike the larger cakes. Boats were
unable to make more than about quarter
of ordinary number Of trips, and accumu-
lated passengers filled the ferry house
and overcrowded the boats.

review on Massachusetts, avenue,
and | have no hesitation in saying
that finer body of men was never
seen by me.
[ have no doubt that the knowl-
edge of the existence of such body
Of men, subject to the call OF your
Governor and under your orders,
will add largely to the sense of Sc
curity for life and property in the
great Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA. With sentiments Of great re-
spect. yoIr friend and servant.
