A special from Halifax, N. 8., says: Xhe worst marine disaster in the long list of steamers wrecked among the rocks and shoals at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy occurred Saturday morn ing when the side-wheel steamer City of Monticello, bound from St. Johns for for Yarmouth, was quickly over whelmed by the mountainous seas on ly four miles from her destination, aiMl engulfed with thirty-four of her passengers and a crew. A heavy gale was raging at the time and there was a tremendous sea. The place where the Monticello struck is at the mouth of the Bay of Fuudy, where the waters of the bay join those of the Atlantic. There are many reefs and shoals at this point, and the currents are many and changeable, it being one of the most dangerous places on the coast. Just before the vessel foundered an attempt was made to reach the land in a small boat in charge of the quarter master, and it contained Third Officer Fleming, a stewardess named Smith and three passengers. This boat was smashed by a huge comber, and the occupants being hurled high upon the beach at Pembroke uninjured. It is be ieved these are the only survivors. The City of Monticello was used in the coastwise service between Halifax, Yarmouth and St. Johns, aud was due at Halifax Sunday morning. She was an iron, side-wheel boat of about 1,000 tons gross, and was commanded by Captain Harding, of Yarmouth, where most of the thirty-seven meu belong. She was formerly called the City of Norfolk, and was built at Wilmington, Del., in 1866. When she received British register her name was changed. She was valued at $05,000, and was partially insured. The vessel had been rebuilt witbiu fifteen years, but was uot regarded safe iu an exceptionally heavy sea. She carried a crew out of proportion to her sise. TWENTY-FIVE BODIES RECOVERED. ABpecial of Sunday from Yarmouth, N. S., says: “The shore of this coun ty for ten miles east and west is strewn with the wreckage of the hull and cargo of the steamer City of Mon ticello, which foundered Saturday morning, and twenty-live bodies of victims of the disaster have been re covered from the sea, which is still raging with terriffic fury. The death roll so far as known is thirty-two. “Many people have assembled at Rockville, near where the first body came ashore, and numerous relatives of members of the crew, who nearly all belonged to points on this coast, have arrived to identify the dead. The bodies were arranged in a room in the public hall and Coroner Fuller, who held an inquest, gav6 an opinion of ac cidental drowning. All the bodies are terribly battered. “The first body was found at day light, wheu the zinc lifeboat, which was supposed by the survivors of the first boat to have been swamped, was discovered on the shore. A few yards distant were the bodies of Mr. El dridge, a passenger; Second Engineer Poole, Mr. Fripp, a traveler for Mc- Gee’s Sons, of St. John, and the body of a seaman. All four btid life belts aronud them. “At short intervals along the beach eleven more bodies were found, mak ing fifteen found np to noon today. They had all evidently some ashore in the life-boat and were killed on strik ing the beach, not one escaping. “It is a coincidence that the ship Peter Stewart was wrecked off this shore n few years ago in the month of •Tuly and a boat load of men came in w here the Monticello’s boat was found. Half of the men were dead before th€ boat touched the land.” HEAVY COTTON EXPORTS. During October the Insurance fl M 182,- 043,000 Over Last Year.

She became, so bed that she lo*t the use of her rignt arm and side, and we thought at one time she wotid lose her speech Her tongue was almost paralyzed. Mie was so had she could not feed herself, a; u at night she would get so nervous I had to sit and hold her I tried several doctors but they did not do he*- any good. I did uot find anything that would help her until I ttied Dr. Greeue’a Ncrvura blood aua nerve remedy. She if uovr, by the use of this medicine, eutiiely cured. *’ C. H. Bailey, Esq., of Waterbury, Vt., writes: “I am more than glad to write about tnv little daughter. Until n short time ■go she bad al ways been a very delicate child and subject to sick spell, lasting weeks at n lime She was very nervous, and our family doctor said we would never raise her, she was so delicate and frchle. We tried many remedies without the least good. We felt much nnvlety about her, especially aa no doctors could benefit her, and had great fear for her future Learning of the wonders being done bv Dr. Greene’s Nenmra blood and nerve remedy, I determined to give it to het. She soon commenced to improve under its use, and rapidly gained in every respect. She eat, and sleeps well, and her nerves are strong The medicine has done wonders for her and it Is the beat we ever knew. I recommend Dr. Greene s Nervuia, blood aud nerve remedy, to everybody. Mrs. J. Learmonth, of 776 Broadway, South Boston, Mass., says: "Atten years of age mv daughter became affected with a nervous condition which aron de reloped into St. Vitus’ dance. It was pronounced bv the attending physician to be a very severe attack. The mouth would be drawn spasmodically far to one side, flic hands ard arm, were rest less and constantly twitching. Her limbs also were weak; her ankles bent underher M(that ft was almost impossible to walk. She was so nervous that she would scream almost like umv .UjC and then have fits of crying. After two months’ treatment without n cure I concluded to try Dr. Greene’a Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
