Startling Discovery.

The discovery By the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in
their very midst, is decidedly startling.
Such discoveries are made at every season,
in every part Of the Union. Subsequently,
when ii is ascertained, as it invariably is at
such times, through the valuable expert
ence of some one who has been benefited
and cured, that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is thoroughly efficscious eradicator
of the malarial poison and q means of
terrifying the system against it, a feeling of
more security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhood. Be-
sides the febrile forms of malarial disease,
dumb ague and ague cake are removed by
the potent action of the bitters, to which
science also gives its sanction as a remedy
for rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint, debility, kidney troubles.
and all diseases impsiring the organs of
digestion and assimilation.

visited the mill the other day: "a man

The Market for Canned Peaches Very
Strong in New York.

Strong In New YORK.
New YORK, August 25th.-The following
queer story appears in the Commercial BuS-
tetin of to-day and is given for what it is
worth: New York dealers made quite a
scoop in California canned peaches in the
English markets a short time ago and left
John Bull with very little of that class of
fruit to fall back upon. At least 5000 cases
were picked up. 1t is rumored that even a
larger quantity had actually been taken
About 1000 cases have already been re-
ceived here and the greater portion has
been distributed at prices showing hand
some profit. The facts regarding these
operations were kept secret. The goods
have been moved into channels of consump-
ton without affecting the market in the
slightest degree. In point of fact, prices
have steadily hardened during the time the
goods were purchased and received here
It is not improbable that another 5000 cases
could be distributed without disturbing the
values to any extent. The market for
peaches continues very strong.
SALES AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, August 25th.-The Earl Fruit
Company sold four carloads of California
fruit at auction to-day: Bartlett pears,

The Crop This Year viii BE a Total
Failure.

Norwich Comm, August 25th Forty
years ago the Connecticut peach orchards
were the finest 10 the world. The fruit
was as fair as that of California, and SO i'm
mense was the yearly crop that the market
was sulfeited and farmers turned their
hogs into their orchards. Then came 1.-The
yellows," an inexplicable disease, that
killed every tree IN the State. After that
few peaches grew in Connecticut until a
dozen years ago, when fruit-growers began
to set up new orchards and learn to deal
with the disease. They could not cure il.
for st the end of three years it invariably
kills en- orchard; but they set out new trees
each year. and in the second and third
year, before the yeilows attacked the
orchards the growers had two big crops.
Then they let the trees perish. In this
way the prestige of Connecticut peaches
was revived. But this year more ill-foriune
he's befallen the peaca-n,sn. The trees did
not bear at all, end the crop is total fail
ure. A big fruit grover at New London
said day or lw5 ago that the crop in
