Letters from Erzeroum, dated Irom Te
heran to May 19ili, and from Tubreez to
the 29<h, supply the following details of the
late calamitous occurrences in that country
a brief statement of which has already been
given :
“ On the 3d of May, the town3 of Shiraz
and Cu8lian were levelled to the ground hv
a violent earthquake, destroying 15,000
souls in the former, and 3,000 in the latter
[dice, and entirely drying up the fine river
Z-nandervod, upon which the town of Is
pahan, in a great measure depends for its
supply ol water. The drying up of the
river was Ibllowed by an extraordinary
flight of locusts, which in a few hours laid
waste the luxuriant crops of wheat and
barley, and destroyed the blossoms of the
fruit trees. At Khorassan, a pestilence
broke out in the month of Regal (April)
and lypbus fever of the most deadly nature
was raging throughout Asirabad, Mazrad
eran, and the Turcoman desert ; whilst at
Tehetan, on the 15th of May, where cho
Icra morbus was carrying off no less than
i>n« htin/l aorl q nil fifiu (Kkiila m«m - «n
inundation had swept away eighteen dwell
ing houses, a public bath, the ice depoi,
and several men, women and children —
Fortunately lor the city, (for otherwise the
consequence to life and property would
have been much more serious) the water
from the fosse or ditch which surrounds it
burst out on the pisin, washing away the
most luxurani crops of corn and forests of
fruit trees, with a number ol horses and
cattle. In the midst of all these calamines
whilst the Shah and his court have fled to
Imsma, the Prime Minister and his rela
tions carried out theit diabolical system of
oppression of the poor, turning a deaf esr
to the |ieiition and complaints of the peo
ple, unless accompanied by a fee.”

The relief sent by the charitable of Bos

The commander of our Naval Forces on

greater than that of the past, for the grape
crop is still blasted. If so, our generosity
may be again needed.
A wagon left out of doors will, in a few
years, become a spongy, heavy mass, un
profitable to use. As proof of the correct
ness of these remarks, we know of a farm
er who has run down three sets of wheels
by exposure, and not by work, while an
other has a pair of wheels perfectly sound,
built a year or two liefure bis neighbor’s
first pair. In the first case, the wheels
have never been housed, winter nor sum
mer ; but have been left by the roadside,
as if impregnable as the stone wall to inju
ry from the weather. In the other case,
the cart has been uniformly housed, and
always well painted. It must be very in>
telligible to the reader which is the wiser
course,

DR. ROOT’S PILLS.
It is not to be wondered at that the inhabit
ants of Litchfield county should prefer Dr.
Root’s celebrated Root and Plant Pills to any
other Medicine in use, as old Dr. ROOT, the
original maker of them was a resident of Ca
naan, and while living enjoyed the reputation
of being the most skillful Physician in the
country. The Pills are composed of twenty
kinds of rare medicinal vegetables, sllhough
active and thorough in their operation on the
system, yet they are so carefully medicated
that they can be given to the most feeble per
son h ilh safety.
We confidently recommend these Pills to
the afflicted, as being superior in every respect
to any article of the kind in use. They are
sold at the low price of 12 1-2 and 25 cents
per box, by merchants throughout the country.
lO* Try Them.
