to get the testimony Of the multitude who
have used HOOPS SARsAPARILLA for de-
bility, languor, lassitude, and that general
feeling Of stupidity, WEAKNESS and exhaus'
ton which every one feels during this season,
we should be able to present to our readers
such an overwhelming mass of commend

fact, and has been so eGectually demon

The above statements are DOUBTLESS en-
tirely correct. 1t seems to be also the
fact, that the name of John c, Condor
does not appear in the list of Town Cred
It's of recruits, for the town of Hines
burgh as printed in the AdjutanJ Gen
erals reports. lis father, James Con-
don, is duly credited to that town; but
we can not find the name Of his son in the
lists for either Hinesburgh or Burlington.
The omission may have been accidental,
or his town may have failed to receive
credit for him. OF course the dates and
figures given dispose entirely Of the claim
that he was the youngest man that en-
listed III the MON army, or that he was

1t is our sad task to chronicle one of the
most distressing fatalities that has oc-
Cured in this city in many years On Sat
urday afternoon last the spool and bObbin
mandatory of George X. Holt, south of
the marble mill, was destroyed by fire and
First Assistant f.. G.. Parker of the Ethan
Allen Engine company was killed by the
fall of Il portion of the wall of the burning
building. The origin of the fire is in
doubt. The first intimaton the factory
hands had of impending disaster was the
sudden breaking out of flames about 240
O'Clock, near the top of wooden part-
ton separating the main building, which
was of wood, from a small drying room at
taChed to he west side Mr.. Holt was in
the building at the time and ran at once
to the engine house to attach the hose to
the pump and found that one Of the work
men had already taken that in hand. The
flames meantime had spread with aston
ishng rapidity throughout the main room
of the factory, carried by the shavings ON
the floor, and the intlammable wood dust
which covered everything, and burst at
once into flame. The hands in the room
were compelled to beat a haSty retreat, be
ing hardly able to save any articles of
nronertv mot curricd ON their persons and
i,han a., ME rat,,r,i,,,, o,o,,od th,

he ran to the boiler room.
and ordered the safety valve opened, by
which time the fire had forced its way to
the engine room. In the mean time the
alarm had been sounded and the fire de
pnrtmput responded promptly. The Ethans
were the tirst ON the ,erolind but before
