Fanny Whitney, a little girl, picked up a sealed bottle on tho ocean beach last Sunday and gave it to the police officer, who opened it and found in side the following, written on a sheet of paper: 'Bark Louisiana, from Liverpool. We have now been eight days without food, Oh God! help us, we are lost. Seamen Pat Haggerty, James Holmes and Second Mate Thomas Magee, died last night. Captain Bergland, the Chineso oook and myself, M. Claudius, of London, now re main to suffer. 1 write that my brothers and sisters may know by thiB their broth ers fate." There happens to be, however, no American bark Louisiana. There is a ship of that name, which sailed from this port on the 4th inst., but the name of her captain is Dunbar. This discrepancy and tho statement regard ing the timo tho crew had been with out food, render it probable that the letter was written for a hoax. WILL, BE A GREAT ItIATG'21.

Protection from tho disease, not a medi cinal arent which Merely checks the parox yMiu, fi the grand desideratum where er the eudomlc coun;u of malaria prevails. Quinine does not afford ilus protec ion. The chief reason why lloitotter's Stomach Hit ter? ua won such immense popularity K that it prepares the system to resist the malarial pest. This It does by bracing and toniug tho physical organism; regulating and promotlui; au equal flow and distribu tion of the animal Quids, and establishing digestion on a sound basis. No. only Is fever and affile prevented, but the woist tjpes of tho distune are conquered by it. Such Is the only conclusion to bo drawn from tho overwhelming evidence in its faror. It is equally efllcaclous Iu djspepMH, constipation, liter complaint, general de bility and rhpumatic complaint, and is a reliable diuretic and nervlno.
