were unable to help themselves. While
The storm was ut its fury the
house that Captain Terrebonne
occupied began rocking to and fro.
There was two feet of water on the
ground but nevertheless the captain
taught hold of his wife and one child
while his 11-year-old son seized another of
the children and they left the house.
Captain Terrebonne weighs go pounds
and is powerfully built, but it took all
mis- strength to keep from blowing away.
Some distance from his house was a two
story house and to this place the captain
made his way with his family. In the
house he found several people crouching
in fear on the lower floor. The captain
then left in search of those who were in
need of assistance.

Old Beans Found.

In tearing down the wooden partition
lining the brick walls of the store No.
40 Fore street, soon to be occupied by
the Omitted Packers" large quantity
of beans were found that had been there
(no one knows how for many years.
They were yellow and shrivelled with
age. At one time this old store was oc-
cupied by Smith 6 Dunn, and by the
Messrs. Conant as wholesale grocery,
and it is highly probable that these
beans have, therefore, been in their out
of-the-way situation for 40 or 50 years.
The old boards were nailed on with the
imported wrought iron nails fused 100
years ago. such as the carpenter who is
doing the work of renovation says have
not been used for half a century.

1t seems that H. S. Shorter, Esq.,, an
old resident of rs years of age, who resides
at 391 Broadway, Newburg, began to
grow languid, got tired easily, was nerv-
GUS and debilitated, until at last he be-
came so weak and exhausted that he was
just able to drag himself around. He lost
flesh and strength so rapidly and be-
came SO alarmingly FRUSTRATED that his
friends and relatives despair his life.
Now came the marvellous change.
Suddenly Mr.. Shorter was transformed
from his condition of extreme weakness
to one of strength; his nerves grew quick
ly strong and steady, his muscles became
vigorous, his blood was revivified and
enriched, he gained 10 pounds in weight,
and today he is in sound and perfect
health.
Such remarkable transformation in a
man of his age was nine days. wonder.
OF course the cause was eagerly
looked for.
And the following astonishing facts
are stated exactly as they fell from Mr.
Shorter's own lips:
