Some people no doubt laugh at these stories and believe them to be advertising ilodgi to catch th* unwary and rope in some vf their hekel*. We have now printed ai.d pub- llihcd Th* Now* for nearly half a century: it <<njoys the reputation of being*, high- toued weekly witb a largj circulation, and we naturall) do bus ness with the advertis- ing man f the day, and from the reputa- tion ef the Dr. William*' Medme Company, we havo never had any ro isoti to doubt th* p'trt^ct a>M-uraoy of the cure* rel.ttiul; but It i* only low that w* are placed in a position to testify personally a* to the wonderful curative powers of Pink Pills. The story we arr about to relate though no lea* r- markaMs than other* regarding th* stme medicine naturally impresses ltslf more up. >n oar nun. I and upon the mind* of other* in the ooininuity beause the parly chiefly concerned i* known to us, nd we are enabled to bear personal testimony as to the correctness of hi* declaration*. The gentleman who wa* a ihoit tim* ago so greatly afflicted is now almost as well as he ever wa* and cheerfully related his story to the representative of The News, in the hope that those who read it might be bene- fited thereby. Mr. Camille Dubuune i* a man of fifty- three year* of age and ha* been a mechani- cal engineer for twenty-five years, working on the steamer Reindeer which run* on Lak* Champlain, and occasionally en the River Richelieu. " Feur year* ago," (aid Mr. Dubuque, "while our steamer had an nxcursiou party on board for an evening run, I was rather tired after a long day's work, and went up on the upper deck to enjoy a smoke before retiring. At that lime I ftlt myself to be in perfect health but, when I went to my room I was taken \vith chill* mad wae uuabl* to keep myself warm. Although that night I had hut little leep I felt comparatively well the next day. About a fortnight after I was taken with frightful pain* in my back near my rpine, and in my side. I went to the hospital in Burlington, Vt, and was treated there for three weeks and then feeling but little better I came to my home in Iber/ille county, five aud a halt miles from St. John'*. I wa* then doctored by a medical man from Ibsrville. His treatment seemed to relieve me very little and I determined to visit Montreal i and *ee another physician. This I did in : March, (tbree year* ago) and put myself in an eminent physician's care who trested me from March until July, and certainly did all he could lor me. I did not stay in Montreal all the lime bat went bac'tward* and forward* to see him. In July I got tired of this and wa* beginning to feel down-hearted. I then called in a medi- cal man from Hanryville, a village a few mile* from where I live, and he prescrib- ed for me over and over again, but by thin time I was almost powerless to help myself aud no one knows what frightful agony I suffered. For seven long months I sat in a chair with my feet on a lounge. I was unable to lie down day *r uight and often thought that death would be a happy relief. Last spring my wife read an account of a Saratoga miracle in The New* and de- termined to get a box of Pink Pills for me. I remonstrated with her, telling her that it wa> useless (pending more money, but she persisted ana wrotu to Wight & Co., drug gists, of St. John's, and had a box lent by mail. 1 took them to p!eae her, never thinking they would do me any good, bat much to my surprise, after taking 'he BOX I felt slightly better. We then bought an- other box and by the lime that was gone I felt that they were certainly helping me. I could now he down, scmelhing I had been unable to do for seven long months previous ly. So I kept on taking the Pink Pill* and am now on my tenth box, and to-day lam practically a new mssn. Last winter I had an attack of la grippe. I took Pink Pills and they cared me. We figured up to *ee the amount of money I had expended in trying to be cured before re* Ttuig to Dr. William*' Pink Till* and the figure* reached tX2u. 1 willingly tell you my story an I my wife corroborates every word I say, in the hope that any one who i* as I have been attain relief by employ ing tb* same remedy. Put it in The New*, *orae of my fellow workmen mill see it and it may benefit them as it has done me." When Th* New* representative drove up to Mr. Duliuque's pretty little farm house he beheld that gentleman chopping wood, aud looking a strong robust man. A year ago his neighbor* thought him a doomed man to-ihty they consider hi* cur*) a* little abort of miraculous. Messrs.

According to th* Montreal Witne* there i* a brisk qnarrol in th* United State* over the queition who originated th* World'* Fair a* a oelehration of the discovery of America.

A mere enumeration of the buildings conveys no idea of the city ; nor doe* a statistical array of figures give a conception of iu vasiness. What ordinary mind can realize anything more than an impression of bigness, from tbs fact that there are 033 acres aad -JOO buildings included within the walls, including tbs Midway Plaisaunce ; that it has a take frontage of a mile and a haJf ; tkat an expenditure of lUI.OQO.UOO on the part of the World's Fair Company, foreign ('Overnments and Concessionaire* is repre- sented, and of at least S2H.000,OOU on Uis part of exhibitors.

Let a* take a look first at th* Mineral Department. The importance of Ontario'* mineral resource* ha* long been acknow- ledged, but th* vaatns** of our mineral wealth is only beginning to be realized, aud the extensive display mads by ths Bureau of Mines, and installsd now under tie (uperinVendence'of Mr. David Boyle of Toronto, will be the means of in- troducing it most thoroughly to th* world at large. Canadian nickel, being at the present time a trump card, so to speak, Mr. Boyle has allotted it the place of honor, and a grand trophy of the mineral in all its stage* occupies the cenaie of the Court. Th.re are huge boul der* of nickel ore, lump* of nickel, and a square block of the clear product weighing tome 4,<Mi pounds ; with iigota of niekel and copper-nickel alloy ; gold- bearing quality, silver in th* ruugh, and very mineral substance of value, with lithographic *tone, marble and granite and other building material, many specimens most exquisitely polished, and everything labelled so that the most casual observer can pjok up i good deal of information unasasst- ed. The facade, fronting on the main aials of the mining build. ng and just north of the big coal pyramid, is atones artistic and forceful, th* arch beng Banked with ten highly polished granite column*, and the comers by huge marble pillars. On the north wall is a geological map, li'xls feet, on which the location of th* principal minerals n plainly marked, there being also a compendium of Ontario'* mining law*, and statistic*! information, as to population, *tc. Thes* and bsside* everal smaller maps aud photographs, the entire exhibit being mo*t unique, are al- rsady one of the chief attraction* of th* building. KKt IT A>D IUIWBH. It i* no (mall boast tkat Ontario i* th* apple orchard of the world, but DO other conclusion can be com* to, from an inspec- tion of th* thousand* of plate* of fruit that crowd th* tables of th* Ontario court in the western aunex of th* horticultural hull. ling. These were collection* of Mr. A. h. Settel, of (irimcby, Superintendent of the pomological section, from all sections of th* Province, and th* dis- play may be fairly considered a repre- sentative on*, leading fruit growers everywhere having lent their co-operation. The fruit was kept in cool storage here ilinmi; '.he winter, and though it was shamefully n*glect*d by the Storage Com- pany, onough wa* rescued to impress visitor* most favorably, (od to compel the most flattering compliment* from visitor*. Beddes the natural fruit, there are some 1500 glas* jars, containing everything in the line of fruit, from the smallest to th* greatest. Them hav* hse-i preserved in acid solutions which retain the natural appearance, and sre most attistically ar- ranged in pyramids and on shelve*. It is intended during the season to hav* conaign- menu of fresh fruit forwarded to Chicago as it is rvtdy so that th* exhibit will al- ways be fresh and novel. In tbe big greenhouse is Ontario's floral Rxhihit, which I hav* th* authority of one of the leading Chicago paper* lor saving, is th* most compWt* m rare tropical plant* of any in the building, and that I* saying not a little. The utility of growing palms and ferns and muh things may b* dupuied by cavillers of th* utilitarian stamp, but th.r* are rich people whose hobby it is to indulge in suoh a paitim*. and th* beauty and luxuriance of these specimen* will have its influence in .Impelling to some extent the ides, that ha* too long prevailed that Canada i* for the mot of the year a land of ice and snow. The display ol plants was mad* up by Messrs. Houston and Kwmg of Toronto. The vegetables, of which there i* a large quantity, are not yet fully arrayed, owing to vexation* delays of various kinds, but it is expected will he ready for inspection next week.
