ihe superstitious Kussian. peasants were lately terribly alarmed by an unusual atmospheric phenomenon which appeared two hours before sunrise in a village called Loomlino, situated near the river Don. Many of those who were awake at this early hour stated that the “ apparition ” was of a brilliant red colour, and assumed th® shape of a crescent. It lasted only a few minutes and gradually faded away into a light blue colour. Many of those who witnessed this remarkable appearance in the heavens state that it was accompanied by a loud rumbling similar to thunder. Others, who have more imagination, aver that the red crescent resembled a large dragon in its shape, and that it is a sure portent of a coming war or a great plague. Holloway’s Pills.— lnvalids distracted by indigestion and discouraged in their search for its remedy should make trial of this never-failing medicine. A lady, long a martyr to dyspeptic tortures, writes th-it Holloway’s Pills made her feel as if a burden had been taken off her. Her spirits, former!* low, have greatly improved ; her capricious appetite has given place to healthy hunger ; her dull, sick headache has departed, and gradually so marvellous a change been effected that she is altogether a new creature, and again fit for her duties. These Pills may he administered with safety to the most delicate. They never act harshly, nor do they ever induce weakness; they rightly direct deranged, r,nd control excessive, action.
