John McKee, poet. pliilosoplier. etc., of Pittsburgh, writes to a paper in that city as follows concerning Heaver and Johns town. The reader will excuse John's or thography and punctuation. It is a style peculiarly Ids own : " Why don't the People of Johnstown appoint A committee of Kesponciable men and let the .Money be distributed to those who are in need insted of giving it to Heaver 1. suppose he w : ll keep it for his own ne. I. say that Heaver ought to he forced to uiveup the Money he lias re ceived they lost about nine or ten mil lions and they have received two millions I. think this is sufficient to ciivor all the losses why don't the people of Johnstown call upon a man like Foruker, Governor of Ohio To settle their affairs, he would do Juitise to the People He crossed the pontune brige with I tegmenta ofTrupes and Provisions intending to go to Johnstown hut iie did not get There lie went to Williiiinsport he goes To all the Country fares making speaelics and kiss ing the llab.ys—now if Foriker had been Govenir lie would had Johnstown Fixed up long ago I say send for Foriket I say when a man aint competent to attend his office lie should be discharged like any other workman an a Fool has no right to Im pose himself 011 the people I. say to the People of Johnstown lake The thing into your own hands And distribute the money Among those who have need And not trust it with men Who Pocket the halfof it I. hope that this letter Will he forwarded to Johnstown and adopted by the People And not let the like of Beaver impose upon them I. see plainly that Milatery men ought not to he allowed to rule this Country I. say the sooner the Government is taken out of the hands of Ihe Milatarv men the better 1. think this Letter will Kill Heaver for Ever.

Stephen Lansing, of Tinkers, N. V., says : " Recommended as a cure for chronic Costiveness, Ayer's Pills have relieved me from that trouble and also from Gout.

"By the use of Ayer's Pills alone, I cured myself permanently of rheuma tism which had troubled ine several months. These Pills are at once harmless and effectual, and, I believe, would prove a specific in all cases of incipient Rheumatism. No medicine could have served me in better stead." —C. 0. Rock, Corner, Avoyelles Parish, La. C. F. Hopkins, Nevada City, writes: " I have used Ayer's Pills for sixteen years, and I think they are the best Pills in the world. We beep a box of them in the house all the time. They have cured me of sick headache and neuralgia. Since taking Ayer's Pills, I have been free from these complaints." " I have derived great benefit from Ayer's Pills. Five years ago I was taken so ill with rheumatism that I was unable to do any work. I took three boxes of Ayer's Pills and was entirely cured. Since that time I am never without a box of these pills." Peter Christensen, Sherwood, wis. • Ayer's Cathartic Pills,, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer St Co., Lowell, Mass.
