A New York pa per says that William B Astor, Esq., has contracted for the erection of one hun dred and fijty first-class tenement houses, principally on Fortieth street, and vicini ty, and between Eighth and Ninth aven ues. This is the largest building contract we ever heard of in the United States. Supposing each house to cost five thousand dollars, and a first class tenement cannot be erected for less, and probably not for that price, the contract, amounts to three quarters of a million.

It has risen into notice, and estab lished a high and just reputition in the region, of country where it has heea tried, a fane from the . surprising and numerous cures it has effected The Proprietor Dr. Samuel Dudley, Hospital Surgeon, on the Island of Portsmouth, North Carolina, has used it with unfailing success, both in the hospital, and in hi private praetic about twenty years During that period it has been at trading public attention, and gradually rising in to g neral and high reputation in all that region of country, solely, by the surprising certainly of the cures it has uniformly effected. Until very recently it has never been advertised, nor hav any pains been taken to extend its celebrity.
