history of the shanty is really remar-
kable. -Mr. Roebling assumed the ex-

offered $50 to any oue who would threw
the bodies off Jibe bridge into the Ni-

move was to inform the authorities that

the bodies were Daly seorched, and his
funeral was -still: on his hands. He
finally paid two bravadoes from Lock-
port to bury them where they lay: They
were howaling drunk, and full of blas-
phemies, Both went back to Look -

the tragedy. .I,Vith sal his. talents. Mr.

A grotesque simile is something very
expressive. We may mention the cora-

ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE- OF
CONSUMPTION IN CANADA.
Messus YouNo & CHAMBERLIN, -S rs, I
feel it a duty I owe to you, as well as to the
public to inform you of the most wonderful
cure of Consumption, accomplished in my
person, by the use of the Great Shoshonees
Remedy and Pills. I coughed a great deal
day and night, expectorating a great quanti-
ty of matter, and had. a great pain about my
left lung. I had cold chills every day, and
severe night sweats everynight, and between
,the raeking cough and. great sweating, I was
almost deprived of sleep , by these miseries
as well as the loss of appetite, I was so le -
ducal that I could.' hardly stand alone. I
was under the care of a physician for a
length of time, and finding no relief, I
tried different receipes, but all without any
good. effect. Squire Peterson. of Bath, re-
connnended *Me to use the Great Shoshonees
Remedy; I procured three bottles at once,
with the Pillsso soon as I commenced using
it I began to get better, and when I had fin-
ished this complement, the cough, expectora-
tion of matter, pain about the lung, chills,
sweating, &c., left me ; and by continuing
its use I became strong and healthy. It is
now over two months since I quit the reme-
dy, and there have been no symptoms of the
disease returning, and. I have been, and am
now, healthier and better than I have been
for years. 1 trust you will make this IMOWil
to the public, that they may be aware of the
peculiar virtues of this truly wonderful ln-
dian•Remedy..
