"What is the most money ever made
by a tug in one trip?" was asked by
a NewYorkSumanof an old tug
man in South street. "The very
largest money ever obtained was when
two tugs picked up a derehot off
Sandy Hook. She was in good con
dition, but had been abandoned by
her crew who were panic stricken.
She was drifting ashore, and the
courts allowed a salvage of 828,000 for
the two, or $14,000 for a day's work
each. But that wasn't a towing job.
The biggest price ever paid by a ship
t for towing at this port, so far as I
know, was when a ship captain had
beat his way up to the light-ship
after a long winter voyage from
Manila. Beaching this point, with
the harbor before him, the northwest
wind became a gale he could not faoe,
and he saw the shores of Staten island
fade and began to think he had Ber
muda hard aboard. He couldn't
stand that prospect and was com
pelled to pay $1,500 by a heartless
tug captain of about my size and dis
position." Tendcr Juicy Steak at Jeff's.

Drowned in Gray's River.
Gray's Rtvsit, July 1, '89.
Editor Asteriax:
A sad case of drowning happened
here yesterday. Mr. David Graham
lost his life. He was running logs
down Gray's river. The logs became
jammed and in trying to break the
jam he accidentally fell off a log.
He never came to the surface, but
was seen by Mr. McGregor and Mr.
Lamb, his partner, to struggle's if,
trying to swim, but for a. moment only,
when he was swept down and out of
sight.
The alarm was given and the neigh
bors collected and searched for the
body until dark.
Early this Monday morning about
forty men collected and searched for
the body, dragging the river and haul
ing out large snags and old tree tops;
but in vain. All day the men worked
until 6 o'clock, when the weary men
gave up for tio day, Iiut ea,rly to-morrow
the search will be continued.
Mr. Graham leaves a wife" and one
child to mourn his loss, beside ajlarges
circle of friends. S. Walseb.
The body was recovered yesterday
morning.J

Sad Termination of a Ride.
The dreadful accident on the beach
near West's place, reported in yester
day's Astobian had a tragic sequel,
one of the victims of the occurrence
dying at one o'clock yesterday morn
ing. It appears that Monday afternoon,
Mrs. Lizzie Wirt, aged 24, and her
mother-in-law, Mrs. Susan Wirt, went
riding along the beach in a two-horse
buckboard.
Later in the af ternoou the attention
of some men working, was attraoted
by the horses who ran along with the
empty buckboard, and entangled
themselves in a fence.
The tracks were followed and some
distance on almost submerged by the
incoming tide, were founcl the pros
trate forms of the two ladies. They
were at once carried home and sur
gical aid summoned from this city.
A gash on Mrs. Lizzy Wirt's fore
head was all the mark to be seen on
either of them. She was unconscious;
Mrs. Susan Wirt partially so. Tho
! old lady was unable to give any ao-
count whatever of the ooourrence; her
daughter-m-law never recovered con
sciousness but passed away at one
o'clock yesterday morning, appearing
to have sustained concussion of tho
brain, Mrs. Susan Wirt, it is thought,
will live,
The tragic occurrence has occa
sioned universal regret in the neigh
borhood, where both ladies were old
and respected residents.
It is supposed that the horse3 ran
away, throwing the occupants of the
buckboard out, that being the most
probable cause of the unfortunate oc
currence. In Love Vh flls i
"What can I do to ragalu my hus
band's love?'' writes Mrs, Carrie R., of
Toronto. She adds that seven years
ago she was married uuder the most
happy auspices, and, until six months
since, happiness crowned her domestic
life ; then her husband became distant
in his manner toward her until now he
is positively cold. Mrs. R. gives no de
tails, but if she is afflicted with diseases
peculiar to women, if her cheeks have
lost their bloom and her eyes their
sparkle, it may explain the cause of her
complaint. In this event Dr. Pierce's
Faorite Prescription vfill ejfepta mag
ical eharieo and' restore her to health.
As powerful Invigorating tonic, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription Imparts
strength to the whole system, and to
the womb and its appendages, in par
ticular. For overworked, "worn-out,''
"rundown," debjlltated teachers, milli
ners, dressmakers, seamsti esses, "shop
girls," housekeepers, nursing mothers,
and feeble women genera'ly, "Favorite
Prescription" is the greatest earthly
boon, being urtequaled as an appetising
cordial and restorative tonle.

Deab Sib: Notwithstanding my mls
glslngs, Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla did
all that you promised. I had tried so
many prescriptions that I had como to
believe nothing would relieve my dyspep

had a return of either since. You have
my permission to make this public, for a
remedy that wlU'cure dyspepsia and pre

known. Respectfully,

Ctiticnrn Remedies in Ave weeks
I am coins to toll you of tho extraordinary
change your Coticurv Rkmkdies performed
on mo. About tho 1st of April last I noticed
somo red pimples liko coming out all over my
body, but thought nothing of it until somo
time later on, whon it began to look Iikospots
of mortar spottodon, and which camo off in
layers, accompanied with itching. I would
scratch every night until I was raw, then the
next night the scales, being formed mean
while, were scratched off asain. In vain did
I consult all the doctors in the country, but
without aid. After giving up all hopes of re
covery, I happened to see an advertisement
in the newspaper about your Cuticora Rem
edies, and purchased them from my druggist,
and obtained almost immediate relief. 1 be
gan to notice that tho scaly eruptions gradually
dropped off and disappeared one by one, and
have been fully cured. I had tho disease
thirteen months before IJbegan taking the Cu
ticora Rkuedies. and in four or five weeks
was entirely cured. My disease was eczema
and psoriasis. I recommended the Cuticuka
RFUKDiESto all in my vicinity, and I know of
a great many who have taken them, and
thank mo for the knowledge of them, es
pecially mothers who have babies with scaly
eruptions on their head3 and bodies. I can
not express in words tho thanks to you for
what tho Cuticuea Remedies have been to
me. My body was covored with scales, and 1
was an awful spectacle to behold. Now my
skin is as nice and clear as a baby's.
