 -Four of the houses were cottages occu- pied by negroes and owned by Attorney E. R. Rivers, and were .otaEy destroyed. The fifth house was occupied by A. J. Fletcher, neglio merchant, and was also completely destroyed. Jt is understood than all the hoUt=st stlcid goods in the col tagss were destroyed
 Flstcher, the negro merchant, lost his entire stock of goods and S130 in money. His entire loss is abou. 5000, with no m surance. The store house was owned by Charlss Bradford, of Avondale, and is said TO have been insured.

 GENTLEMEN :--When I wrote you the latter part of December, my mother was, according to the honest belief of three physicians, on her deathbed; she could not retain either food or medicine on her stomach, and it did not seem reasonable to think there was anything but death to re- lieve her. The doctors informed us she had a cancer in the lower bowel and there was no cure for her. She showed such vitality for person to be so near death we thought there must be something to help her, and reading of others being saved by the use of your 8. 5. S., we thought it would do no harm, if not eoinc good, to try it, so we informed her Of her condition, just as the doctors had in- formed us, and left it with her to try your remedy or not, as she saw fit. She concluded to try it and from the first dose or two, she began to brighten up, and improve; she can now get up, dress and help herself, and can eat everything or anything she wants and hopeful that the cancer will pass away in due time by the use of your g. 8. S., which she will now gladly take. You may make this letter as public as you choose, and the more SO the better, as too much praise can not be given your valuable remedy.
 Yours truly,
 GEO. l.. CgoseRovE.
