SACRAMENTO, June II, 1888
j. p. SARSFIELD-DEAE SIR: Having been
afflicted thirty-three years with fever sores and
having tried many kinds of remedies and treat
ment without avail, my attention was called to
the many known cures produced by your
Chronic Ulcer SalVe and Blood Remedy The
physicians of this city would not undertake my
cure unless would submit to Il surgical opera
ton on my shin bone, which was considerably
diseased. | objected to this kind of treatment
and commenced using your Chronic Ulcer Salve
and Blood Remedy, which effected Il permanent
cure in forty days. At the commencement of
treatment with your remedies, | was unable TO
perform more than two days work in each week
and it was with great difficulty that I could
get up and down stairs. After four weeks of
treatment / was able to work all the time
am now entirely cured OF my fever sores
and regaining my health and strength daily
The lower part of my leg, between the knee and
foot. was completely honeycombed by these
sores. 1t is but a faint expression of gratitude
that herewith bear testimony to the efficiency
OF your most invaluable Chronic Ulcer Salve
and Blood Remedy Your remedies are an in
estimabe gift to the human race, and stamp
you at once rs the Good Samaritan of the pres
ent age. Gratefully yours WM. 5. DOAN.

Something About Damaged Piauos.

10 tNc ISuitW " TIC ItcytStGs
In order to ascertain what the experiences
vas in the repair OF water damaged pianos
/ wrote TO Messrs. D. II. Baldwin IL Co., OF
Cincinnati, who had some 200 instruments
under their care after the food OF last year,
ence last year we found those that had been
entirely under water not worth repair. In
cases where we undertook to repair those
the cost ran from 800 to $l75, and the
work, after being done in the best possible
manner, was unsatisfactory, taking from
three to six months to do it. In cases where
the piano was not entirely flooded and only
partly covered, or hoated, We could do
something with 1t. We still have twenty.
tive pianos left from last years Hood upon
which We are working, but have decided
above stated, and not undertake further
repairs. When We asked reputable man.
ufacluIers last year to undertake the re-
pairing Of some of these instruments, they
absolutely refused, saying they did not
think them worth repairing. You will
fpd tramp tuners and repairers will soon
oyerrun your territory. Warn your
friends Immediately against them and tell
them our experience. They make all sorts
of promise as to repairing, and wi even
guarantee their work to the people and
charge as it will seem low price; but
those parties who give them an opportu-
nifty to repair, will regret it as in al most
every instance the work will have 10 be
dore over again"
II is in order TO warn the public against
being cheated and defrauded that it have
given this letter publicity, and trust the
motive vii not BIZ misunderstood.
Very truly yours,
WM. H. SHEIB.
Music Dealer.

The Burpet Flood. &c,

In your interview with me l am made
to say in relation to the early Cincinnati
flood that it was in 1880. This is incorrect,
nor will it be made correct by reading it
1850. did not Tx any date for that flood,
but spoke Of the general impression which
remained in my mimi from reading Judge
Burnet's account Of it. l desired simply
to refer to il so that some one who had q
cnpy of the diScours es could refer to it and
give the exact details
The bridgs across Stsckyard run OF 1919.
was simply q stone foot bridge.
II il is important to fix the exact height
OF tie late flood, the assumed fact that the
Elliott bridge across the river was ninety
feet shove low water mark NAV or may not
be exactly correct. But the Elliott bridge
was destroyed by wind storm, and the
present bridge was new and other recon.
s'ruction, and may be the same length of
the old bridge or may be little lower or q
little higher.
When the floods are up, the Wheeling
grsek bottoms and other like streams have
no current to contend with, and are CON-
paratiyely free from danger and damage.

Another Heroic Band.

10 me EupOf OF me hsgIteT.
Though many have been mentioned for
their heroism during the Hood, more have
been passed over in silence, and the writer
desired to do justice to few living in his
own locality, men who are not pretty,
never very good. but men, who when the
water called the turn on them, were not
tcurd wanting Through the long, dark
night when the water was at its highest,
they knew neither fatigue nor fear. JUS
tice and gratitude both demand that the
1ity of Wheeling should know who these
men are that had the hearts of men. The
names Of this little band Of heroes are:
tones Holland, Fritz Eberling. James
Murroy, Mike Murroy and James Fleming.
Those men while the waters were rising
cspidly upon that terrible night worked in
the darkness amid drenching rain, rowing
from house to house in those localities
known to be dangerous because OF the
depths of the waters and Of the swiftness OF
The current, rescuing the inmates and car
ryirg them to places Of safety, while their
own property and household furniture was
eit at the mercy of the raging flood. In
accordance with the expressed desire of
many OF your subscribers IN the Sixth ward,
have written this article and desire for it
place IN your columns.

InE kLOOD OF ls32
Is Said TO Have Come Without Rain or
Snow,

snow.
Mr.. Jacob Jefferson, Of Moundsvile, was
at the REGISTER office, yesterday, and he
remarked that there were some mistskea
made about tle great food of 1852 He
said:
~ was young man at that time, living
at Moundsville, and remember the flood as
we'll as do the present flood. The weather
was warm very warm-and dry. 1t was
so warm that l went in my shirt sleeves,
day and evening. The river commenced
rising on the 18th of February and con-
tinued until the whole valley was flooded.
As said, the weather was warm and dry
DOT a drop of rain fell, nor was there any
snow on the ground. OF course there was
heavy snow in the mountains and that
went off with a rain in that region; but it
was dry and warm here through it all"
when the flood was at its heighth, l
made mark on sycamore tree at Mounds
Vile; and when the flood came in 1852, l
placed another mark on the same tree.
1852 by eight inches. But the flood OF 1854
was higher than that of 1882 by over three
feet"
VIM. S. Goshorn, Esq in giving his rec
objections of the food OF 1882, says be was
at that time attending school at Washing
ton, Pa. He came home on visit swim
ming bis horse on the National Road this
side of the present toll house at Leather
wood The waters had at that time some
what subsidized. There were four holses
on the Island-the old Zane mansion, the
ferry house near where the end OF the
bridge now stands, a house near the upper
end of the Island belonging to Mr.. Giles,
and a part Of the Berger house. In the
rear Of the Berger house was an ice house,
built of brick and arched over some ten
feet high above the ground. THIS was GOV.
cred with earth and grassed over, forming
a mourd The top of this was the only
Joint !" te seen about the water, and on it
/ COW took refuge and remained in safety
until me waters subsidized. OF course, as
there we're but few people living Oh low
ground at tina. time, there was but small
les Of property and no suffering to

And Council viii Se Asked 60 Pal

And Council viii se ASKED 60 Par.
chsse One.
The attention of Council will be called TO-
night to q matter of great importance,
which demands the consideration it do
serves. 1t was brought up last night by
Chief Marshal Dunning at meeting Of the
Fire Department, and is in regard to the
city's fre.fghting appliances. Mr.. Dun
ming made quite speech 10 the committee,
setting forth the poor condition of our
steam FIRE engines and urging the purchase
of new one. We have now three engines,
the Atlantic and Vigilant having been in
use since 1868, and the United some time
longer. No one of the three is in fit condi-
ton for use and the United has been re-
tired by the statute OF Limitation. The
pump has been bored out 80 often
that it will not stand another op.
Grafton, and the whole machinery
is so poor and works 30 badly that
the company making that kind gave it up
as q bad job. The other two are better,
but neither is of any value and in case OF
FIRE in the top of high building would be
almost useless. The pumps are believed
to be in condition to be re bored, but Chief
Cumming is afraid to dismantle one for the
necessary length Of time, for fear q fire
might happen at that moment. The hook
and ladder truck is in q similar condition.
1t is of a style that was old when Wheel
ing was born and has seen forty years ser
vice. In fact the appliances to hight hre
are in generally bad shape and large
conflae ration would find US almost unable
to do effective service against 1t.
This was given, at length, by Mr.. Dun
Ming who also talked about the lmprooa.
bility of the city being always 80 exempt
from large fires, and by one such, the loss
would more than replace our entire an
Gent machinery. What we want is at
least one new engine and q set OF extension
ladders. and, with these, the department
might pull on for some time, with advan-
age. The Atlantic and Vigilant, when
uew, ranked as third rate engines and were
If q rather inferior model. What We want
is new one, OF second rate. An engine OF
irst rank would never do on eur streets,
mi the second rate is the one used in most
laree cities. 1t would cost 81, 500. When
purchased, Mr.. Cummings idea was to
olace it where the committee might deem
oest and then retire the United to the
Eighth ward, to be used only in case OF
emergency, or while one of the others was
aeirg repaired. Such was the tenor OF
Chief Cummings speech.
Mr.. Hoffman said hs had been approached
oy merchants, urging the ,purcnaae OF
new engine and, in fact, the committee
WIS unanimous in the belief that the pur-
chase should be made. There was dis
cu, sion Of the merits Of several engines,
without result and finally the committee
sgreed to ssk Council TO allow it to adver-
tise for proposals to furnish u fire en-
CINE.
Cer'ainly the city seems in bad shape,
,trrreent, 10 combat large lire, and every
ornpvrty owner is interested ID this mat
