CATARRH.--Wi,hous assuming to
write out thesis of this universal all
ment, facts warrant our saying that it
seems to Us there never was season when
i, was so prevalent as the present.
The above is preliminary to the fol-
lowing, viz: Tha, Messrs Hood Il Co ,
of Lowell, believe that the best way to
treat Ca.arrh, and the only way TO get
permsuspt relief, is through the blood.
A cons itutional di ease requires con-
sti u ional'remedy. Hood's Sarsaparilla
is q blood purifier and cons itutional
medicine tha, can be relied upon, and has
cured numerous cases Of Ca'arrh in its
various forms. We blink this claim a
reasonahle one and 6 adly giveit room in
our colums.

1t seems like tho center piece for a
huge stages spectacle. 1t is built of
blocks of Ice 40 inches by 20, and
varying from IA ia 20 inches thick, as
occasion requires. The blocks are.'cut
with the ak or adze of the workmep,
and are handled exactly as cut stone,
except that water supplies the place
of mortar. The roofing is made of
wooden beams, upon which are spread
cedar branches, the ice formation be-
ing completed by using spray. This
as it trickles or pours over the cedar
branches freezes into solid masses and
icieles. The spires are made in the
same manner. The main structure
covers u square of nearly 100 ieet on
every side. At the four are
tquare towers 10 feet on every side
and 80 feet high. The main tower in
the center is 32 feet square and about
100 feet high. There are many exits
to this palace, and should there be an
audience admitted there will be no
loss of life in case of any panic from
fire at any rate. Should q panic arise
from any other cause exits are every.
where easily accessible. The main
entrance faces Mount Royal and the
exits the st. Lawrence river. Visi-

pockets, but are recommended to line
