Ayre & Co. have received from Alexandria a cargo of rags to pay for their medicines, which are largely sold in Egypt. They are evidently from all classes and quarters of the Pacha's dominions--the cast-off garments of Hadjis and Howadjis--white linen turbans, loose breeches, and flowing robes. Not the least part of their bulk is cloth in which bodies were embalmed and wound for preservation three thousand years ago. They are now to be made into paper for Ayre's Almanacs, and thus, after having wrapped the dead for thirty centuries, are used to warn the living from the narrow house which have so long inhabited, and to which, in spite of all our guards and citizens, we must so surely go. ** Fire The lightning, on Thursday evening, about 4 o'clock, struck the barn of Mr. Delos STRONG, containing hay and other articles. The whole was destroyed. ** Important to Females Dr. Cheeseman's Pills The combination of ingredients in these Pills are the result of a long and extensive practice.
