    .ini ii~—-—— -■ —-.. NEW YORK POST OFFICE, Situated at the iunction of Broadway and Park Row, is the largest Post Office building in the United States. Last Report of Business Transacted.—Total number of pieces handled of all kinds of Mail was 1.361,356,483, a daily average of 3,729,744.

Hog' Cholera, outside of the prevailing diseases of porcine life—ulcerations of the liver and lungs—is undoubtedly the scourge of piggie’s existence. The dreadful ravages of this disease have depleted, by thousands of dollars, the annual income of raisers of this line of stock. Only within recent years have the great western dealers learned of the unfailing efficacy of HARVELL’S CONDITION POWDERS in this formidable disease. Since its trial and wonderful success, however, a perfect avalanche of testimonials have come to us couched in almost extravagant terms of praise. It is hailed as an absolute specific, and everywhere recognized as the best and only reliable cholera cure in the world. Only a few doses of HARVELL’S CONDITION POWDERS administered in the animal’s food—no matter what its character—will positively cure every case ATTACKED. Sheep, when nurtured in proper form, yield a handsome revenue to the owner. Owing to local conditions of environment such as low and swampy pasturage, sheep contract the very serious malady known as Foot Rot. The first indication in treatment is the animal’s removal to high and dry roaming grounds. The feet should be first thoroughly cleansed and afterwards saturated with DR. HERRICK’S GERMAN HORSE LINIMENT. In addition a diurnal dose of HARVELL’S CONDITION POWDERS is enjoined. By judicious care and the patient use of these remedies the disease may be mastered and thoroughly cured.
