Ab Horley, Wisconsin, ten persona lost their lives on Nov 6 iv a fire at obb of the faotelei The building was a three sborey wooden structure valued at tea thousand dtflarsi The fke is thought to h*ve been caused by the explosion of an oil stove in the proprietor's bedroom. When the alarm was Bounded the flvanes had oat off exit by the stairway. The only remaining exits were through the front aud side windows. Those who reached the side windows escaped upon the roofs of the adjoining buildings, bub those ab the fronb windows jtmped to the ground, and were ccv raly injured. Ot tho c who perished some were warned in time, but, returned to their rooms in an attempt* to Bava their possessions. Nineteen parsons were killed and pro pwty valued at half a million dollars was dwfcroyed io a fire at) Philadelphia oa Oat 115.

The Capture of Miss Stone By Brigands.

We have now received details of how Miss Ellen H Stone, the Americ n mis sionary, was carried ofi. by brigands These go to show thab anoher lady was kidnapped afc the same time, Mrs Tsi!k*, wife of an Albanian preacher. They were j surneying from Baneko toDjama at the lime, in the company of a party of friends The wholo party, from fifteen to eighteen, were suddenly stopped in a narrow valley, and aa soon as possible all were compelled fco wade a river and ascend the mountainside as fast m threats could make them, for about an hour.

Not all the brigands conld be seen, bat twenty were counted at erne fcime, and it was the opinion that there musb have been forty of them, dressed like Ttsska, and talking bad Turkish. They spoke occasionally good Bulgarian and were glad to find among the provisions carried by the parly several cakes of bacon and ham They knew Miss Stone, and showed that they were mainly after her. She aed Mrs Tsilka were taken on farther and Been no more. The remainder were re lieved of money, watches, &o, and com pelled to stay all n'ght under strict guard. After sunrise the brigands who watched them went np the mountain, and the remainder of the party were free.— Scotsman.

DYSPEPSIA IN CHRISTtHURCH. Proofs:—Evidence on Record. 1U Case of Mrs. S. FOX, {By a Special Rtperkr,) Any Britisher visiting Christehttt'ch must be reminded of his native country , by the many resemblances to English scenery which are met with on every hand. The clear waters of the Avon running through the city, with low, old fashioned bridges spanning across the river, the banks of which are studded 1 with beautiful weeping willows, cannot but bring back memories of similar sights witnessed in the old country. After a few minutes conversation on the above subject with Mrs. Susan Fox, of Thackeray-street, Sydenham, our re porter remarked that he came to inquire about that lady's health. "You mean, I suppose, about my re* oent ill-health," replied Mrs. Fox. "Yes, my health gave way completely, though what was the cause of it I could not make out for a long time. At first there was no pain at all, only a sense of weariness and fatigue, tip to this junc ture I had been strong and wiry, and did not know what a day's sickness was. Consequently, I became anxious when I found myself growing weaker and thin ner every day. My appetite was poor, and although I took care to get aa much fresh air as possible, it did not make alny difference in regard to promoting a desire to eat. I resolved not to give way without making a struggle, so I often forced a little food down against my inclination, and then came the pain in my stomach, which I shall never for get. Shortly afterwards a weighty feel ing in ( the chest appeared, making it hard to catch my breath- Intense cut ting pains came between my shoulders, and went right down to the lower ribs. The agony was so great that I could not sleep, and after spending nights. 2of wakefulness, I was in a chronic state of exhaustion. A feeling of listlessness was upon me the whole day, and I neglected my usual duties. I suffered very much with my. head, which was full of dread ful aches. Every morning, and, in fact, ajl day long, there was a foul taste in my mouth, and a sickly bile often rose to my throat. When I took a short walk I soon felt giddy and faint. This will tell you how weak I got. For a person like myself, who had always led an active and industrious life, it was simply awful to be in such, a helpless, condition. I could not even enjoy the' pleasure of reading, aa my eyes were dim and felt swollen." "You were in an unhappy plight, evidently." % "Yes; I was exceedingly miserable. My face was the colour of death, and, in addition, I got so emaciated that if you had seen me then you would have thought it impossible for me to recover like I have. But my illness taught me that it is a mistake to give up hope whilst there is life. By a mere chance, I discovered a medicine which I am sure is a boon to mankind. I read about several people who had been cured of various complaints by Clements Tonic, and afterwards came across a case iden tical with my own. Without delay, I procured a bottle of Clements Tonic, and in a few days I experienced much relief, the most noticeable being an en tire freedom from discomfort after meals." " Your appetite returned so quick- Iy?" "Yes. I could soon eat as heartily as ever, besides being able to sleep when my pains lessened, which they did by degrees, and then departed alto gether. Clements Tonic put my liver in order thoroughly, my head being re lieved from pain and my eyesight be coming clear. When my first bottle of Clements Tonic was finished, I purchas ed some more, and thus I went on till I attained a complete restoration to health and strength. My weary, ach ing limbs were restored to their former activity, and I was thankful to be able to go about my work with cheerful en ergy. My nervous system was fed with all its invigorating necessities by Cle ments Tonic, and I thus threw off the shocking nervousness which had laid hold of my weak and frail constitution. My health couid not be better since Clements Tonic restored it." "Would you mind this being pub lished ?" "Not at all. For the sake of others you may publish these facts in any way you please." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Susan Fox, of Thackeray-street, Sydenham, Christchurch, in the Colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have care fully read the annexed document, consisting of two folios, and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faith ful account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements—which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, Intituled " The Justices of Peace Act, i? 82." dwa.
