One of the►=Tt`e: A paragraph appeared a short time ago, announcing the death of John Fitz, patrick, one=of the famous Light Brigade, who died of starvation in England. He had received a pension of six pence a day, which, however, was withdrawn several years ago, and he endeavored to seek out a miserable existence by riding in circus pageants. Old age and disease unfitted him for thiaor any other work ; the only refuge for the disabled soldier was the rhouse, from which he shrank . in orror. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was : " Died of starvation, and the case is a disgrace to the War Office." Speed the news ! Speed the news ! Speed the news onward !

CURE YOUR HORSES.—It is to the in- 1 terest of all who own horses tokeep them , in a healthy and sound condition ; ex- 1 perience has proved that Darliey's Condi- 1 tion Powders and Arabian Heave Rem- edy is the . most efficacious, it has been used by thousands who will cheerfully � confirm this statement. For Heaves, t Coughs, Colds, and all diseases which ! affect the wind of horses it has no equal, nor is it equalled as a condition medi- ' cine ; it purifies the blood, corrects and improves the appetite, and softens the skin ; in fact, so great is the improve- Iment in the appearance and cdndition of the animal as to have led many to I doubt if it could be the same horse.
