THE REBUILDING OF CASAMICCIOLA.

A commission of Neapolitan engineeru and architects, which has for some time been occupied considering the best mode of providing for the future of'the island of Jschia, has now closed its deliberations, which wero approved.by the general assembly of the profession. Their investigations were confined to the causp3 of the great disaster of Casamicciola from an architectural point of view, and to the best method .of reconstructing the houses. During the investigation they were much struck by finding in the midst of the ruins a zone of about 300 meters square I .which had escaped untouched,' There is not the slightest trace of the severe earthquake- in this oasis—no house was damaged, and the walls of the gardens are intact. Wood and iron aro recommended as the best materials to bo employod for rebuilding the houses, and two types of this mode- of construction were minutely examined—the ono called the " Calabrese," consisting of wood and mason work on walls; the other, much used in America, consisting of iron. Preference was, however, given to the Ualabrian type, One thing was decided—that vaulting roofs should be avoided in a country subject to continual shocks. The sum total, of what has been collected for the sufferers in Ischiu how amounts to 2,735,268 lires, or nbout £IIO,OOO.

THK BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or counterfeited This is especially true of a family ' . medicine; and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value, As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began' ■ to steal the notices in which tho press and the people of the country had exi--' pressed the merits of H, 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good riame of .H, B. Many others started nostrums put up 'in. similar style to H. B,,with variously devised names in which the word " Hop " or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters, All such pretendod remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations Ol' counterfeits, Beware of them. Touch none of them, Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of Green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass, Trust nothing else, Druggists and Chemists are warnod against dealing in imitations or counterfeits,
