and before the arrival of tha firemen, had
worked it9 way to the Bocond Story , Both floors
wero occnpled by Messrs. Bart'lll(r A Schutto,
croll sawyers. The combusble nature of the
contents served but to accelerate the spread of
the Uame, and In a sliest space of time the
property of the firm w.i8 reduced to ashes, en
tailing a loss of tSPfjo, upon which they have
$3000 Insurance, MKlO in the Royal and tl200

firemen were soon on luvid, 'but all ttelr efforts
proved unavailing, and in nbout one hour the
building was a complete m-cck; the whole inte
rior, with the exception of the first, floor, was
gutted out, and both tlc gablo and eastern walls
eoon came down with anjrash. A member of tha

A Mntfcrf hc'LigliiIature and a Fifth Ward
Tavern-Keeper Engage In FiBtlcuffa In
Front of the Htnte Houne '
About noon no little excitement was created
In front of the ollico of the Clerk of tho Orphans'
Court, ono of 1 the Row. by -an altercation be
tween John McGinnis,. Into Democratic member
or tho Legislature irom this city, ana one Micnaei
Sullivan, -a Democratic 'tavern-keeper at Fifth
and Bprucc streets.
The two engaged in a conversation over the
Metropolitan I'olico bill, when, the talk waxing
warm, McGinnis, in answer to some expression,
let go his "right" and brought Sullivan a blow
on the ' left cheek bone that made him "see
etars."
Round eccond. McGinnis came up smiling,
and, sending In his left, brought Sullivau
to mother '-earth. (Cries of "First knock
down for McGinnis). The row then
assumed a rougher shape, McGinnis ad
ministering Beveral kicks to the posterior of
Sullivan. At length a Special Olllcer who had
been looking on interfered and arrested the
trio, 'Who weno moved around the corner 'to tho
Central Station,. and charges, of breach of the
peace made against them. Of course they were
not incarcerated, but were allowed to proceed
up stalrB, -where we left them. Thus ended the
grand Democratic prize-fight at Fifth and Chcs
B.it streets.
Improvements. Arch street Is rapidly
changing from its 'former quiet residences into
elegant stores avid warehouses, which are fast
making it one of the most important streets of
ounnow growing .city. Among the new im
provements, no.irly completed, Is the fine, ex
tensive and substantial iron front stores and
. business buildings erected by E. Ketterlinus,
upon the lots which were vacant so long on
Arch street, above Third. These buildings are
tho finest in the-city; every attention has been
given in their enaction to all conveniences, heat
ing.and lighting;, the latter has proved a decided
success, as cach.of the five stories, also the base
ment and vaults, are all fully lighted. The total
floor surface Is ,54,000 square feet, an accommo
dation sutlicicnt to meet the requirements of the
largest business .firms. Tbe irontage on Arch
street is 00 feet, constructed after an elaborate
design by E. F. Durang, architect, of cast iron
a material confining so many peculiar advan
tages in ah architectural point of view as to ren
der! its. adaptation to this description of building
in every way desirable, as it is light, easily ren
dered effective and&t the same time substantial.
The stores are 30 feet in width by ltt4 feet deep
on the west, opening on to a rear street. Each
of the several floors Lave separate entrances, or
the entire -buildings can be used by a single
party. Thio is the taird iron front building
build on that street by Mr. Ketterlinus within a
lew years.

for the benefit of those similarly allllcted as myself,
to buy mat inter conHuitmg many eminent pnysi

which 1 commenced using with little faith, and no
apparent benellclal results, for about a month. At
the expiration of that-time, however, I thought I
commenced to expcnetice slight relief, which en
couraged me to persevere in its use, and now, at the
expiration of four months, although I am an Infirm
old man, nearly 78 years of age, and consequently
medicines cannot be expected to favorably affect me
as they otherwise would, i nave round such unspeakv

Dr. Helm hold :
Dear Sib: It Is with much pleasure that I write
vou upon facta respecting myself. I do not know
hardly how to express myself. I have been for the
last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer mau
could be and live ; but more sometimes man otners.
The complaint was the "kidneys" and "bladder." I
have beeu sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours,
and wanted to make water every minute, and could
not. Have consulted doctors, both in MiisHachusettH
and this State, and taken pills, I may say by the
quart, also liquored medicines, but found no relief
Irom any, and got worse the last six mouths. 1 wast
so that I could scarcely get about. 1 could not rest
nlcht or dav. It would soon have been "all up" with
me, if 1 hud not seen your advertisement in tha
Berkshire Courier, headed "Kidneys." 1 read it
through, and thought 1 would try it. I purchased
a bottle, but, mind yon, lml not much faith in
it. Whv should I. when I had been trvttiir
so many things and cost ran so much? Well,
I began taking It, anil before I had taken the
first bottle 1 felt bail; but I Mulshed it and
get another. By the time I took hull of the second
1 Etill got woise (apparently.) w lu n I walked it
seemed as 11 my rigut kidney whs fulling from Its
ulace. aud 1 fell really bad. I felt so boJore 1 had
finished the second, that 1 had mude up my miud It
was of no use trying auy more and all this time the
"Bucliii ' wus noirg nswi.uk, nut I hhi not know it
so J gave it up aud went in lluriford ou Saturday to
one ol the bebt doctors iu the city. Hesuld it wus'tlu;
neck of the bladder, itud I tliould have to umiei'ifo
an opeiation. He gave me medicine, and J went home
quite downhearted. On Sunday 1 w,m unable to go
to church. 1 had not taken auy of his muiiiclne, but
on my return continued usinir tlie "ivicliu," and iu
the altcmoon it had the desired effect.
I cannot tell you all, but this is a true i-t.iry of my
cane, and you are welcome to make stu-li una of my
name as you tliink proper. I am imitry well known
in Berkshire; also In Connecticut. The advertise
ment saved lue. Why not ihiMisIi more? Tho
Snritifftlcld ViYiufct'iou is a wide-unread piper. If
auy one wishes to sco this wonder tuny cun do so. I
could write all day, but thiuk 1 have said enough

from Admiral
SpeetalDetpateh to Tho Keening TeUgrapK
Washington, too. 5. The Navy Department
has received despatches from Roar-Admlral S.
C. Rowan, commanding the Aslatio fleet, dated
as late as December 13. He was then In his flag
ship, tho Delaware, at Hong Kong, having;
arrived there Novomber 17, from the coast of
Japan.
He reports tho distribntion of his fleet as fol
lows: Onclda, Commander E. P. Williams, at
Hlogo; Mouocacy, Commander E. P. M. Cenea,
at Nagasaki; Ashuelot, Commander 8. B. Tay
lor, at Yokohama; and the Idaho, Lieutenant C
M. Anthony, at Yokohama. The Iroquois, Com
mander R. S. Lane, sailed from Hong Kong
November 29th, for Norfolk, Virginia. She ha
on board a part of the crew of the Unadllla,,
lately sold, some sick and prisoners, and as
many ofllcers returning home as tho steerage
could accommodate.
The Mauince was sold at Hong Kong on the
15th of December. Just before leaving Japan
R ar-Admlrnl Rowan visited Osaka in the Dela
ware. On arriving off the rlTer tho fort wa
Baluted with twenty-one guns and promptly re
turned. A salute wa-i also given and returned
to tha Vlce-Govcrnor, who was sent by the Got-
ornor to call on the Admiral.
The next day (some time In November) he-
procecded with his staff to Asaka, was saluted
in passing the fort, received at tho landing by a
guard of honor, escorted to the residence of the
United States Vice Consul, was called upan by
the Governor nnd other high officials, and ln
lted to a Japanese dinner.
Two Government barges were provided for his
accommodation. In company with tho Gover
nor he visited the castle of the Tycoon, once a
magnificent stronghold, but now in rnins from'
tho effcets of Are. Dinner was scrvod in the
Government Treasury building, .the Governor
and two Viec-Govoruors being present. The
Gernor having expressed a wish to visit
Hiogo, passage was extended to- him in the
Delaware, and he was landed with the custom
ary honors.
Rear-Admiral Rowan forwards with his de
spatches an interesting report from Commander
Taylor, of the Ashnelot, from which tho follow
ing is an extract: Ou the 4th of November the
Japanese authorities saluted Mr. D. E. Long,,
tho United States Minleter resident, with fifteen
guns. From tho fort at Kanagawa tho American
flag was displayed.
The salute was returned by tho Ashnelot, the
Japanese flag at tho fore. On the 10th, by pre
vious arrangement, the Minister, ex-Minister,
aud their suites were received on board the
Ashnelot, and conveyed to Yeddo. The cus
tomary salutes were exchanged at Jcddo between
the Ashuelot and the forts and a Japanese man-of-war.
On the 11th the new minister had an audience
with the Mikado, and General Van Valkenburg
presented his letter of recall. On the 13th the
Ashuelot returned to Yokohama. On the 20th
of November the colors of the Ashuelot were
at half-mast, and fifteen minute guns fired at
noon in memory of the late Secretary of War.

Rioting ! Missouri.
St. Louis, Feb. 5. In a street quarrel in St.
Joseph, Mo., night before last, between several
patties, Michael Culligan was shot by II. L.
Church, and died soon after. Church, who is a
conductor on the St. Joseph and Council Bluff
Railroad, gave himself up and was committed.
An altercation occurred at a store between
Sinclair and Jackson Hurst, and Jo
seph Fry, Clark Jones, and others. The
Hursts walked out and were assaulted with
stones, one of which struck Jackson Hurst on -the
head, knocking him insensible. Joseph Fry
then struck Sinclair Hurst with a piece of
scantling, crushing in his scull, and also dealt
Jackson Hurst a similar blow, fracturing his
skull. The testimony at the Inquest showed
that the Hursts were drunk and had really been
the assailing party.

Two bottles only of the package of yonr valuablo

or our little Lieutenant A. J., his pride is no longer

of our use of your Buchu with the children nnder
our charge may save many a Superintendent and
Matron of lluarillug Schools and Asylums a great
amount of annoyance; and many a poor chiliisuf
fering more from weakness than from habit, may be

prejudice I hud formed against advertising "cures
