The following Letters were published in The Christian at Work, the leading religious paper of New York, some months since. That they attracted great attention is proved by the following editorial notice which soon after appeared in that paper:-
 "The publisher of The Christian at Work has been asked if the letters published in this paper, by Dr. ]. H. Schenek, of PhiIadeI- phia, were genuine. In reply he says, that his representative has seen the originals of every letter at the office of Dr.. Schenck, in Philadelphia"
 FROM P. TURNER, Jr., BlNeHAMroN, NY. MEssRs. J. H. scHENcK SON, Philadelphia.
 Gentlensee:-I have concluded that it is my duty to write you in regard to the great benefit l have received by the use of Dr. Schenck's medicines. One and a-half years ago was very sick with what my friends and myself believed to be Consumption of Ede Lungs. Ti1e disease began with heavy ccId, it's worst symptom being dry, hacking cough, which was almost continuous night and day. Soon after this began raising thick yellow matter. Being exposed to all kinds of weather, by working at my trade, I caught additional cold and grew worse, until was obliged to give up all work. at this time had terrible pains in my lungs, and was soon attacked with severe night-sweats. I tried all the cough remedies advertised, be- were first brought to my notice by reading your book on Consumption and it's Cure"
 used all your medicines; that is, the Man drake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. I felt their beneficial effects from the first. They gave me strength and they gave me appetite, and in very short time my cough was looser, and soon after disappeared altogether. I began to gain flesh, too, and in the course of two months from beginning their use, was very near well. I am now entirely well, and, believe me, very thankful that found your medicines and took them in time to save my life. I shall be pleased to have any one call on me in regard to my case.
 Yours truly, F. TURNER, JR.,

The Black Death in Anglia.

l Little Cornard lies almost at the extreme ! south of the county of Suffolk. At the ex- ! treme north of Norfolk, occupying the elbow ! of the coast, having the Wash on the west and the German Ocean on the north lies the deanery of Heacham, district in which the | Le Stranges have for at least seven centuries exercised their benefcent influence. Heach- l am itself is a large township, extending over some 4 300 acres. The manorial rights ap- pear to have extended over the whole parish ! The series of court rolls is almost unbroken ! for the reign of Edward III. During the years 1346, 1347, and 1348, ten, six and nine deaths registered respectively. The courts were held every two months. In December, 1348, there is death recorded; in February, 1349, again there is none. On 1 the 29th of April dispute was set down for l hearing to be adjudicated upon by the stew ard and a jury of the homage. It was dispute between husband and wife question of dover. The mans name was Reginald Gosce1in; his wife's name was Elm ma The dispute was never settled. Before the day of hearing came on every one of Emma Goscelin's witnesses were dead. and her husband was dead, too. Four other l landowners had died. One of these latter had son and heir to succeed, but two months later the boy had gone, and the sole representative of the family a little girl, who became straightway the ward of the lord of the manor Contiguous to the township of Heacham lies Hunstanton-not the pleas ant little watering place which the million will persist in calling by that name though scarcely forty years ago the maker and builder of that modern town, the man who marked out its streets and planned it's roads, and foresaw its future before brick of the place was laid, gave it the name of St. Ed munds-Hunstanton, say, in the fourteenth century was parish less than half the size of
 Heacham, and probably much further from the sea than it is now. When, on the 20th
 of March, 1349, the steward of the manor of
 Hunstanton held his court there he entered the name of one old woman who had died within the last nlonth-that is, up to the 20th of March the plague had not yet appeared. Five weeks after this, on the 23d of April, the next court was held. Five petty dis putes had been entered for hearing. Six teen men were engaged in them as principals or witnesses When the day came II of the 16 were dead On the 22d of May again there
 was court and again the suits for debt
 were set down. The defendant in one case,
 the plaintiff in a second, both plaintiff and
 defendant in the third, died before the court
 day arrived. In June no court was held
 was there panic? Except in this month
 and in September the meetings were carried
 on as regularly as if it had been done by
 machinery. In September things got to
 their worst, and in this month the parson
 died, and was speedily succeeded by another. When the court of the 18th of October sat,
 it was found that in two months 63 men and b women had been carried off. In 3f in
 to succeed;..i cases there were no heirs,
 and the little estates had escheated to the
 lord.
