German War Claim.

The House Committee on War
Claims has rendered a favorable re-
port on the claim of the trustees OF
the German Lutheran church, this
city. The committe has agreed that
the trustees ought to be paid S., 500
for the loss of the church by fire in
February, 1868. 1t appeared that the
members OF the church were nearly
all laboring German people, who
proved their loyalty to the Union by
enlisting as soldiers. A company OF
the Ninth Virginia Infantry were
auartered in the church on the night
of February II, 1868, and they were
so wet and cold that they built blaZ-
ing fire in the rickety old stove. The
ceiling caught fire, and the church
was burned to the ground. The re-
port of the committee dwells with
emphasis upon the loyalty of the
members OF the church.

The last hours Of the old man 81
saw many social gatherings in various
parts Of the city. Watch meetings
were held in number of churches,
while the weather was windy and
cold, with an occasional furry OF
snow Quite number Of young men
and boys we're gathered at different
places, the biggest crowd at Five
Points, expecting to see bonfire or
some other excitement The extra
force Of police prevented all this ex-
citement when the old year was dy-
ing but baby % saw big dynamite
explosion about O'Clock in front Of
the High School. The dynamite tore
hole in the street, besides breaking
many windows in the school building,
the residences Of Hon. Alex. Parks,
Rev. Woods and others and giving
che neighborhood complete shaking
up. A large stick Of dynamite was
found on East John street which had
failed to explode. This shooting Of
dynamite around the town is dan
gerous practice and the mayor is to
be commended for having prevented
fur her explosions as it was rumored
that large quantities had been secured
for that purpose. The Middlesex
Knitting Mill whistle made quite a
noise, assisted by several engines on
the railroad, while the B. & o. shop
bell rang out the old and rang in the
new.

Dig down to the cause OF your sick
ness, if you want to get we'll and stay
we'll. Most likely it's digestion.
The irritating poisons of f-rmenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by in
digestion, cause headache, neuralgia,
Nervousness, dizziness, stomachache,
nausea, irritability and all the other
we'll known symptoms of Indigestion
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are re-
moved, all these symptoms and disor-
ders disappear, because there is moth
ing left to cause them. Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the undi
gested food from fermenting in the
stomach to digest its food.
