The great decrease of deaths’ from
Consumption in New York within two
years is.i:o\v the subject of much Edito-
rial Comment in the leading Journals of
that city. The York Commercial Ad-
vertiser says :
In the January number-'of I-l_unter’s
Medical Specialist, it was shown, by 8
comparison of the City Inspector’s re
ports for the last three. months of 1855,
with the corresponding months of the
two proceeding years, that a diminution
in the mortality from consumption had
taken place, of very nearly twenty-five
per cent. In the April number of the
same publication, Dr. Robert Hunter
recurs ro this interesting subject; and
shows from the statistics furnished by
the City Inspector’s reports that the dim-
inution in the number of deaths froincon-
sumption during the past quarter excee-
ded thirty-one per cent.
And the Doctor remarks: There is
scarcely a to\vn or hamlet throughout
the Union from which consumptives
have not come to submit their cases to
_our case, This general resort to inha-
lation could not be productive of results.
If our treatment had been unsuccessful
it must have increased the mortality.-
lf successfiil, it could not but diminish
it in proportion to that success. None
who are at all acquainted with the mag-
nitude of our practice will deny that it
has been, during the past twoyears, suf-
ficieur. to exert the most decided influ-
ence on the bills of mortality, not only
of this city, but also of the citiesof Phil-
adelphia. Baltimore, and Boston. That
that influence has been exerted in the
marked decrease in the number of deaths
is an inference from the facts, not only
legitimate, but, we think, unavoidable;
and claim it not on any personal grounds
but as the natural result of adopting a
more direct, simple, and common sense
treatment. More than a year ago we
stated in one of our published letters, that
"if every‘ case of consumption in this city
were placed under judicious treatment
by inhalation, within two years the mor-
tality from this disease would be dimin-
ished one-half.” This prediction is now
coming to pass.
"Father,” said a cobbler’s lad as he
was pegging away at an old shoe, “they
say that trout bite good now.” “ Well,
well,” replied the old gentleman, "you
stick to your worlt, and they won’t bite
you !”
Perennial Ma.-ssacre!----A Warn-
ing and a Recommendation
The mortality among children born
in American cities, bears a higher ratio
to the whole mortality than in
any of the cities, even the most un-
healthy in the Eastern Hemisphere.-
The deaths resulting from improper
medical treatment, -and lack of prompt
attention and care, are higher among
the adult population in this country,
than in any other country, savage or
civilized. Throughout these United
States of America (God bless them!)
there is not one household in a hundred
that has not its graves.
People may‘well begin to take this
solemnfact to heart, and ask, is this al-
ways to be? We justly pride ourselves
on our superior intelligence, but is it
not humiliating to us to be obliged to
acknowledge that through our own
oversight and carelessness, life has be-
come shorter and more uncertain among
us than with any other people P Let us
pause a moment to inquire how this
awful mortality is produced.
The women of this country are pro-
verbial for the implicit reliance which
they place on professional skill in all the
diseases and ailments to which they are
subject. For reasons which we do not
purpose here, to discuss, the inevitable
consequence is, that women are always
111, or nearly so, and their children, in
whom the eflects of that illness are per-
petuated, are constitutionally affected,
so that. for them prolonged life, in a ina-
jority of cases is a sheer impossibility,
short of a miracle. Again, the ex-
tremes of temperature in this country
are so far apart, and variations occur so
siiildeiiiy. lllal. without some means of
lT‘li'.lll7£llllll]g the system in a well bal-
a.-ic-.~i; "i1ltllllOll, that is, without‘ some
men‘ i-l prcservlllg the blood pure,
and l.-i-piiig it at an equable degree of
heat, .:-iziiitliiiy,-' good health is utterly be-
yond atlaininelit.
Then comes the momentous question,
where shall we obtain that grand "de-
siderainiii” which is to avert illness, or
to remove it in all these cases? Innu-
merable nostrums have been proposed,
and the more high sounding their pre-
tensions, the more complete has been
their failure. The only universal reme-
dies for disease that have stood the test
of time, that have served alike the lofty
and the lowiy, that have elicited the un-
qualified enconiums of the highest med-
ical talent; that have received the ap-
proval and patronage of Royalty even,
that have laid three Continents under
obligation, that have never yet failed
to benefit the sufferer, are Holloway’s
Pills and Ointment. This is no higli-
flown and exaggerated eulogy; it is a
plain statement of fact. "We have no
interest in puffing Professor Holloway
or his medicines. They need no such
equivocal recommciidatioii as that. “To
have an interest in the welfare of hu-
manity and so has be. He is a cosmo-
politan (a citizen of the world) his sym-
pathies are confined to no clime or race.
Every man is his neighbor, and there-
fore he feels bound to do good to him as
far as he can. And how can he render
him better service than by bestowing on
him the greatest of all blessings-—
Healtlz. His medicines have already
met with a most enviable appreciation
in this country. But they cannot be
too widely diffused. Every man and
woman is liable to sickness, therefore
every man and woman should have
qliese Pills for complaints of the system,
and, this Ointment for local afflictions,
such as wounds and sores. Every fam-
ily should be furnished with both. How
could ‘better provision be made for the
year just begun than to provide against
the misfortunes of ill-health and the
thousand and one other evils that follow
in its train.——lV. Y. Sunday Mercury.
In/2.alatt‘on.—-For some time past
there has been considerable said about
In/Lalation as a remedy for diseased
Lungs; and at one time it was thought
it would supercede all other medicines
for that purpose But a reaction has
commenced, great numbers having ta-
ken it without any benefit whatever.-
The truth is, Inl1.u.lat2'on. though excel-
lent for some constitutions, is not adap-
ted to all; and the great majority of suf-
ferers must still rely upon medicine
which, can be administered in a more
perirmneiit form than vapor. In this
connection, we would say that Dr. Rog-
ers’ Syrupqf Lioerwort, TM‘ and Can-
cltctlagua is an internal remedy which
hr.-" stood the test of time. It is pre-
_u.-. - :1 by a scientific physician, and is
-gued to act specifically upon the
.-~..- .-yous membranes of the throat, and
- V 7-‘aS58g€S of the lungs. That it ans-
« ;.~—i the purpose thoroughly, the unani-
s verdict of those-who have used it
conclusive evidence.

Cold-Blooded Murder of a Kansas
Emigmnt—Deat/L of his Wg'fe.——We
learned on Saturday of the murder of
Mr. Alfred Wilbur, late of 111., and son
of M. Jeptha Wilbur, of Avon, Living-
ston Co., who was on his way, with his
family, consisting of a wife and children
to the Territory ofiKansas, where he
designed settling.
It appears that Mr. Wilber was trav-
eliug upon the cars, and was free in
communicating the purpose of his jour-
ney. He had in his possession two of
Sharp's rifles. At a station, the name
of which-has not been ascertained, he
stepped from the cars and the opportu-
nity was seized by some person or per-
sons as yet unknown, to murder him -
The fact became known to a few of the
passengers, as one of them, soon after
the cars started, informed Mrs. Wilbur
of the tragical fate of her husband.-
She became almost frantic, and besought
the conductor to stop, but he refused,
and in her excitement she jumped from
the train while under fast motion, and
was almost instantly killed.
This sad occurrence is said to have
taken place about three weeks since,
and the father of the murdered man
started two weeks ago to ascertain more
fully the circumstances, and look after
the children thus suddenly made or-
phans.—-Rock. Dem.

Arrival of the Empire ,_,,,,,,
Terrible Affray at Panama.‘
New YORK, April 2Jth.

morning from Havana on the evening
24th. The steamship Philadelphia, from
Aspinwall, with "the California passen-
gers and mails of the ‘20th_ of March,’vvas
at_Havana. California dates no later.
A terrible affray occurred on the 15th
inst., at Panama, between the American
Transit passengers and the natives, in
which the former had twenty killed and
twenty wounded. The ‘Empire City
brings three of the wounded. A large
amount of passengers’ and baggage, rail-
road propefly. and property of individu-
als residing near the railroad station was
destroyed. All the baggage at the
freight house was rifled. Among‘ the
killed were Michael Button, of Orleans
County, Vt , R. W. Marks of Pennsyl-
vania, M. Dubois, of Louisiana, and Mr.
Strokes, an officer in Walker’s army.-
It is impossible to get the names of all
the dead.
Of 14 dead at the Railroad Freight
House, ‘only one name, that of Mrs.
Strokes was known. Among the woun-
ded are Wm. H. Hunter, 'l‘heo. D. Sa-

Later from Nicaragua. A
New Your, April 20.
The steamship Orizaba arrived‘ here‘
at 7 o'clock, P. M., with dates from San
J nan Nicaragua to the 21st inst. The
defeat of Col. Schlessinger at Santa
Rosa is confirmed. About 70 of his
men are reported as missing. While
on parole, during his trial by court mar-
tial, he deserted, and probably went
over to the Costa Ricans, having sold
himself to them before the battle.
On the 8th inst., the Costa Ricans
took possession of Rivas, with 2000
men. On the 11th, Walker, with 600
men, attacked them, and after a fight of
17 hours, he w s obliged to abandon the-
city for want 6. ammunition. The loss
of the Costa Ricans is 600 killed and a
large number wounded. Walker's loss
is 60 killed and about 80 wounded and
missing. Among the killed are Col.

han Aid-de-Camp of Walker, Capts.
Hueston, Clinton and Harrell, and Lt.

claims it as a glorious victory. The
Costa Ricans, on taking possession of
Virgin Bay, fired on every person they
employ of the Transit Company.
On the 10th, Lt. Green, with 15 men
had an encounter with 200 Costa Ri-
cans, at the mouth of the Serapi, killing
27 of them. The Nicaraguans, with a
few exceptions, acted with Walker,
much to the disappointment of'the Cos-
ta Ricans.
Honduras, San Salvador and Guate-
mala, are in favor of peace, and will not
invade Nicaragua. They had discontin-
ued the enlistment of troops, and dis-
banded some of their new levies. An
intercepted correspondence between the
British Government and Costa Rica, in
which the former agreed to contribute
2000 stand of arms to the latter, had
caused great excitement among the
Americans. - ' -
The British frigate Eurydice was the
only vessel at San Juan, and she was
constantly on duty watching the move-
ments of the Americans.
Passengers who came down the river
in the steamer were prohibited by the
Eurydice from going on shore.
Before the departure of Walker from
Rivas, an official Bulletin issued by
President Mora, was posted on the out-
posts of Walker’: army; it declared
that all fillibusters taken with arms in
band would be put to death, but all filli-
busters who had not used their arms
against the Republic, and gave them-
selves up to officers of the Costa Rican’
army would be pardoned. Appended
to this was a list of seventeen of Schles-
singers party who were taken and shot.
,They were mostly Irishmen and Ger-
mans only two were Americans.

of . peaceable Americans, citizens at

President'Mora, who was in immediate

only against such conduct but against

lic reception, and welcomed in a set.
speech by S. Hutchinson, Esq., of Law-
rence, to which»Mr. C. B. Lines, of New
Haven responded in his usual felicitous
vein as a public speaker. He said that"
it was not the design of his company to
settle in the neighborhood of Lawrence,
but to bmnclz. out and open new settle-
ments. The reason why so many emi-
grants passed by more inviting neighbor;
hoods in Iowa and Wisconsin, and kept
on to Kansas, was, that in Kansas, as he
believed, ‘was the ground where "the
slavery question” was to be settled; and
emigrants from New England were all
opposed to the institution. Kansas, he
said, so much of it as he had seen, was a
beautiful a’nd inviting country. They
intended to stay here—to make their
houses and churches here-—to transplant
and foster the institutions of their much
loved New England.

A low, and distant sound from the
Tropics," like thefirot heaviugs of their
own volca'noe_s, seems to tell the warn-
ings of war to these Northern , lands.—
The British Lion is sore with disap-
pointment. The French Eagles are
floating in their “pride of peace,” and
gorgod with glory. A rush and aswoop
upon the saucy republic might sooth the
one, and lift the other to a loftier flight.
The present complexion of Central
American news a color of truth to the
fancy. If the Europedn powers can
indirectly cut off the Isthmian commu-
nications between the ,East and the
Golden State, our resources will be di
minished, and California may yet be the
pri_ze of the Allies. The swords of
1814 and the rifles of Kentucky may
yet have to flash a new light upon the
stars and stripes.
The lately defunct Accessory Transit
Company is attempting to regain its for-
mer vitality by alliances with the inter-
ests of foreign governments. It is too
late. The passengers who were return-
ing by that line, and were perfidiously
carried to Panama, and these decimated
by the enraged natives, are loud in their
condemnation of the Company, for their
treachery. Wall street is equally hard
upon this deceased stock-gambling ma-
chine. , One of its former great lights
is said to be suffering from periodical

The changes of the Spring have car-
ried off to their final rest, some of the

tery which has occupied this eminent
engineer’s attention for several years,
and for which so many hundred thou-
sand dollars were appropriated by our

Some idea ‘of the -“wants” of this

The “Philosophy of the Woathof."
Many of‘ our readers are already aware
that our fellow townsman, the Hon. '1‘. B.
Butler, has recently had issued from the press
of the Messrs. Appletons, a. work bearing the
above title. We find it is attracting an unu-
sual degree of attention, and already elici-
ting a considerable commendation from the
Connecticut press. We have examined its
pages, and confess ourselves not only exceed-
ingly gratified with its matter and style, but
utterly astonished at the amount of patient
labor and careful analysis therein ' displayed
by the author. His theories, though novel,
are based upon thirty years of caieful obser-
vation, and will challenge the assent of most
of its readers, although it conflicts in many
particulars with the principlesof Lieut. Mau-
ry and Prof. Henry. Those who have been
at all acquainted with Judge Butler’s past
life, and the engrossing nature of his profes-
sional duties, will wonder most that he could
have found the time to have brought out a
work requiring so vast an amount of labor.
To give the reader a more definite idea of the
character of the work, we give below several
extracts, embodying also the editorial com-
ments of the Norwich Aurora:
‘vrne Philosophy ot the Weath-
er.”
Under this title the Appleton: have
just issued a handsome duodecimo vol-
ume, of over 400 pages, which -is the
work of Hon. Thomas B. Butler, ajudge
of our Superior Court, and highly es-
teemed as an able lawyer and. upright
judge. Judge Butler states in his pre-
face what he proposes to do.
I propose to deal with "The PHILOS-
rav of the Weat/zer'.’—to examine the
nature and operation of the arrangement
from which the phenomena result; to
strip the subject if psssible, of some of
the complication and mystery in which
traditionary axioms and false theories
continue to develop it; to endeavor to
grasp its przbzciples, and unfold them in
a plain, concise, and systematic manner,
to the comprehension of "the many
who are equal partners with the scien-
tific in its practical, if not its philosoph-
ic interest; and to deduce a few gener-
al rules by which its changes may be un-
derstood, and, ultimately, to a considera-
ble extent, foreseen.
It is impossible in a newspaper arti-
cle to give an analysis of the contents of
the book, but there are two or three
points to us, at least, so ’ novel, that we
will briefly notice them. After a gener-
al review of heat and moisture, and the
machinery for their distribution over the
surface of the earth, and the nature of
clouds and the "unseen currents of air,”
the following passages occur:
Having thus taken a brief view of the
different clouds, let us return to the in-
quiry, from what ocean, and by what
macliint-ry, our "rivers return.”
Not wholly or mainly from the North
Atlantic, although it lies adjacent to us,
and they often seem to do so; for first,
all storms, showers, and clouds,‘which
furnish, independently, any appreciably
quantity of rain to the United States, and
even adjacent to the Atlantic, or indeed
to the Atlantic itself, come from a wee-
terly point, and pass to the eastward.-—
This is a general uniform, and invari-
able law, although than is in dzferent
places, and in the same place at dzfen
ent times. some variation in their direc-
tion; ranging in storms from W. by
S. to S. S. W'.,amd in shower: between
S. W. and N. W, to the opposite eas-
terly points of the compass ,- the most
general direction, east of the Allegian-
mles, being from W. S. W’. to E.-N. E.
But do we not see, you inquire- at-
least those of us who live east of the Al-
leglianies——that when it rains, the wind
is from the eastward ; and that the clouds
follow the wind from the east to the‘
west’! You do indeed, generally, in all
considerable storms. . observe that the
wind blows from some easterly point, and
that seeming clouds are blown by it to
the westward; but what you see and
call clouds,are not the clouds which fur-
nish the rain. Far above the seeming
clouds you notice, directly. over your
head when it rains or snows, are the
rain or snow clouds, dense and dark, pas-
sing to the eastward, how strong soever
the wind may blow from the quarter to
which they tend, or any other quarter
between you and them. What you see
below them are scud. So the sailors
call them, and so I have termed them.-
lt is a “dictionary name," and a good one
expressive of a distinction between them
and the clouds. They are thin and the
sun shines through them, although with
some difficulty, when the rain clouds
above are‘ absent or.bir.ok.en. This ealct
wind and the scud on not the worm. or
essential parts of it. Storms 0c,cas,iou-
~ally exist, particularly in April, .W.ith0u.t
either. They are but incidents, useful,
but not necessary incirlents, as all sur-
face winds are.
If you could see a section of the storm
you would see the rain cloud moving to
the east, and the send beneath running to
the west. —
-'.1‘.he.r,e gage many other methods by
which the (reader may determine this
matter himself." He may catch an op-
portunity for a view .wbdu,thore is; break
in the stratus cloud above, and '1 the sun
-
-
szovm-cloud shines through the é‘!-‘mi be-
neath. Then he may see they are me. ,
cloud, t_'fr.Im.-e be any of it left, alwu.ys l
to the ettsturrrrd. l
Again we may sue l.hESl..‘l‘lll approach ,
from the \vftw-.ml, as it often does, be- 1
fore the wind coniiiiences to-blow, and ‘
the scud to run from the eastward; par-
ticular suo\v storms in winter, and the
gentle showers and storms of spring.
Again thunder storms, we know, come
from the westward and apparentlyagainst,
an east wind. It is sometimes said they
approach from the east, but it is a mis-
take, During thirty years attentive ob-
servation in different localities, I have
never seen an instance. They some.
times form over us, or just east of us, or
one may form at the east and another at
the west and as they spread out mfor-
ming, one may seem to be coming from
the east, or there may be an easterly cur-
rent, with dense flocculei.t send at the
under surface of the shower cloud run-
ning westward, but they finally pass off
to the eastward and never to the west
wind. It is possible that a patch ofscud
may become sufficiently dense and elec-
trified to make a shower, bntI have nev-
er observed one. _
Thunder and lightning sometimes at-
tend portions of regular storms in spring
and autumn, but the thunder is always
heard first in the west and last in the
east.
Again, there are admitted facts with-
which you are conversant, which prove
this proposition. When it hag been rain-
ing all day, and just at night the storm
has nearly all passed away to the east-
ward, and the sun shines under the wes-
tern edge of it, and "sets clear,” as it is
termed-you say that "it will be clear
the next A day.” Why? Because the
storm will not pass to the westward, cov-
ering the sun and continuing, how strong
-soever the wind may be from the east ;
and because it is passing, and will con-
tinue to pass off to the eastward, leav-
ing the sky clear. The easterly wind
will stop as soon as the storm clouds
have passed, and it will fall calm, or
the wind will "come out" from west-
ward.
So, too, when the clouds are dark in
the west in the morning, and the sun
rises clear. bl“ “into a cloud” as itis ex-
pressed, you say that it will rain. And
if the clouds are dense this generally
proves true; because there is a storm or
shower approaching from the west, and
passing over to the east: the western
edge of whose advance condensation has
met the sun in his coming, and obscured
him from your vision.
When, too, it has been storming, and
lights up in the N. W.. you say it will
clear off; the N. VV. wind will blow all
the clouds away. It is indeed, general-
ly true that when it so lights up it is
about to clear off; although it sometimes
shuts down again, in consequence of the
approach of another storm from the west-
ward, foilowing closely behind the one
which is passing off. It is a great mis-
take, however, to suppose the N. W.,
wind blows away the clouds. Watch
the smooth stratus rain cloud at its low-
er edge, where the clear sky is seen, and
you will see that it is moving on steadi-
ly to the N. E., in obedience to the laws
of its current, and will do so even when
its retreating edge has passed up to the
zenith, and down to the S. E. '
The storm uncovers us from the N.
W., by the contraction of its width, or
becaue it has a southern lateral exten-
sion and dissolution, and not by being
blown away by the N. W., wind; al-
though that wind, by its peculiar fair
weather clouds, may be, perhaps, obser-
ing edge.
Again, when it has been clear all day
and the sets in a bank of cloud, you say
‘-it will min tomorrow the sun did not
set clear,” and unless that bank is a
thunder cloud, merely, which will pass
over or by you, with or without rain, be-
fore morning, it ie generally true that it
will. The bank will prove the eastflll
edge of an approaching storm.‘
From these generally admitted and un
derstood fac.ts, you may know that storms
pass from the west to the east.
The work evinces throughout the
must intimateacquaintance with the phe-
nomena of heat, electricity, magnetism
and all the agencies that control the at-
mosphere ; such an acquaintance, in fact
as could only be acquired in life time of
study and careful, daily observation.-
All the generally received theories of
meteorologists are tested with an inde-'
pendent hand—-those that are approved
are fortified with original facts and rea-
sons, and those that are rejected find no
lenience on account of their antiquity,
and the gréot names by which they are
supported.
Judge Butler has a practical object in
view. H believes, that by a thorough
knowledge of the laws that govern the
atmosphere, aided by the magnetic tele-
graph, which will enable us to knowthe
exact state of the weather all over the
continent, at the samomoment of time,
storms and droughts can be foretold to a
certainty, and provided against, and oven
the prevailing weather of whole seasons
anticipated.
The style of the work is admirable, and
well calculated to iniewst the general
reader. To the legal reputation of its
author it will add that an intelligent and
independent thinker and writer upon one
of the most interesting subjects to which
the light of modern science has been
turned. ~
A Sermon for the Wool: Day.
We publish on our outside to-day, a sermon

tional Church at flint place. It has been lay-

ings are such as will not be impaired by age,
however, audit‘ we could get, more of such
’t_loof,rir,.,c inculcated, we should see fewer of

rose, and melancholy .cbris_tians—creritures

affected solemnities of the face, such belie the
Scriptures, and must needs ever be a. stum-

Our Steamer.
The Norwalk, Capt. Roilmaii, which has
been running for the past two or three weeks
between Norwalk and New York, has proved
herself to be admirably fitted for the route
and seems, both as regards officers and boat
especially acceptable to our people. No oth-
er boat has yet appeared, and as a good boat
is needed and can well be sustaim-cl, there
is no excuse for our people not giving the
Norwalk a. generous and hearty support.-
The Norwalk has been recently lciigthencd
and refitted, her draught of water greatly
decreased, and her speed increased, so that.
in all respects she is a first class steamer.
New Invention;
Our readers doubtless‘ noticed the curious
advertisement of Drs. Hill (in Fitch in our
paper last week, mentioning the introduction
of a new system of performing Dental Opera-
tions, called “Local Anesthesia.” The pro
cess consists simply in freezing the gum,
when the rebellious molar may be extracted
without the jrnowledge of the patient. This
freezing would of course be painful, were the
a gents used to produce it applied in all their
severity at once, but by the use of ingenious
invention, the temperature around the tooth
is reduced by degrees, to that intensity of
cold which benumbs the nerves and destroy
all sense of pain. The operation has been
practiced by other dentists, and is said to oc-
casion no present or prospective injury or in
convenience.
5 Some days since, the New Haven Pal-
ladium took occasion to complain of the want
of accommodation to passengers ‘upon the
Naugatuck Railroad, whereof: the Bridgeport
Farmer assigns as the real cause of the Palla-
dium’s dissatisfaction that the Company had
discominucd advertising in their paper, &c.
Some time since we spoke the sentiments of
nine-tenths of the citizens of Norwalk against
the want of accommodation and special extor-
tion practiced by the New Haven Company
upon our peop1e—when the Former Editor
assigns as the cause therefor that we “ didn’t
ride free upon their road,” and waxed exces-
sively pathetic injts defence of the New Ha-
ven Company. A citizen of Bridgeport assu-
red us that the milk in the Farmer’.9 cocoanut
could be traced to a little “ Job Printing,”
which that office, after special exertion, had
been able to secure from said road. But as
we deemed the l"armer’.v imputations umnanly
and unworthy any man laying claim to ordi-
nary courtesy, we declined to refer to the ex-
planations of our Bridgeport friend, in our dis-
cuseion with the Farmer. The facility, how-
ever, with which, on almost every occasion, he
imputes corrupt motives to his cotemporaries,
forces the most charitably disposed to suspect
that there may be something wrong at home.
If those who control the Connecticut press are
such a set of time-serving sycophants that
their honest convictions are to be suppressed,
and the public weal be sacrificed by a pass
upon a railroad or a twenty dollar advertise-
ment of the saine—-their hands and their col-
umns cannot be purged of both too soon.

soon as you can get home,” quickly retorted

continue to act as quick, we may expect to
see the Company in full operation in the
course of it few weeks. '
