The National Republican Commit
tee held a session in Albany, N. Y, on
the 25th ult., to consider the question
as to the time and place of holding the
next National Republican Convention.
The attendance was good, some TWEEN
ty members of the Committee being
present. ...
The proceedings were strictly pri-
vate, but it was thought the decision
would be in favor of holding the Con-
vention at st. Louis, Mo-, or Wheel
ing, or some other place in Virginia.
The present session is supposed to
be only for discussion, and that no
definite decision would be made.

Houses, barns, and everything nova
BILE were swept off. The track of the
whirlwinG was in a southerly direc-
ton, and it extended for 10 or IL

&c" SPECIAL NoTIcE.--It seems to be a set
tied fact by multiplied thousands that the only
specific that has ever been produced is found
in that celebrated remedy and antidote to ma
laria. We refer to the renowned DIR. Mann S
Ague Balsam, whose advertisement is found in
another column of our paper. Long have our
prejudices existed against all patent or proprie-
taIy medicines but when We lind an article so
completely successful in the cure of all inter
mittents, We are constrained to give publicity
to it through our columns for the benefit of
our readers and the public. Truly, DIR. Mann,
the wise discoverer of this great remedy, de-
serves much credit and the patronage OF the
public for his valuable Balsam, being placed
within the reach of suffering thousands. Sold
by all good druggists. 4

The wide reputation which DIR. J. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters" have attained du
ring the past year. bespeaks its excellence in a
more forcible manner than any words which
we can offer. 1t renovates, purifies and
strengthens the system, and aids the stomach
in the performance of its functions. 1t is re-
garded on all sides as a sovereign specific, and,
therefore, to procure it in the best possible
way, should be the object Of the public. We
commend it with more than usual zeal ana
confidence, believing and knowing, as we do,
that it stands foremost among the many pre-
partitions Of the day, for imparting strength
vigor and tone to the system, and possessing
the curative powers for all similar diseases aris-
ing from a disordered stomach. In the most
severe cases of cramps, diarhna and weakness
in the stomach, the "Bitters" have been
rigidly tested, and always with the greatest
success

Great CONSERVATION has lately pre-
vailed among bankers and monied men
in Chicago, Milwaukee and other Wcs-
tern cities, on account of numerous
500 counterfeit bills on the Brighton
Bank Of Boston, which have been sue
cessfully "shoved" upon them. AT
first it was supposed the plate was
stolen and all was genuine but the
signatures but circumstances have
now come to light which prove the
entire bill to be forgery, although sc
nicely executed as to deceive the most
practiced eye. The signatures are re
markably well done, and are said te
have for an instant deceived the Cash
Ter of the Brighton Bank himself. In
deed, so perfectly are they done, that

gin to feel a sense of insecurity. The

of most practiced artisan--a mai
who could rapidly earn competenc.
for himself in the lawful exercise of hi
craft. The paper Of the bill is not new
The bills themselves are dated from
1852 to 1856. 1t is estimated tina
not less than ten or twelve Thousand
dollars have actually been imposes
upon the public. Every day bring
more and more of them to light. 1t ii

denomination are to be withdrawn

CouNrEKFEITERs ARREsrED.-We learn
from the Mower County minnesota
Mirror that two young men named
Ray and Geo. A. Todd, were arrested
at Austin, May 18th, for passing coun-
terfeit money. A confederate named
A. H. Barnhart, escaped. On the per-
son of Ray were found twenty-five
counterfeit So bills on the Merchants
Bank of Salem, Mass. On Todd were
found one of the thrces and a ten

THE FIRST AND LAST NAPOLEON IN
IrALY-On the sixth of May, 1900,
Napoleon the Great set out from Paris
to succor the Republican forces in
Italy. He commenced his march across
the Alps by five routes on the 18th of
that month. He was at Milan on the
I'd of June, and his army crossed the
Pc on the 9th, and won the battle of
Montebello. The victory Of Marengo
was achieved on the l4th of June.
The Austrians in Italy were entirely
subdued, in a four weeks campaign,
and on the third of July Bonaparte
was in Paris, receiving the enthusiast
tic congratulations of the inhabitants
of that excitable metropolis.
Louis Napoleon left Paris on the
10th Of May. He went to Italy by a
much easier way than his celebrated
predecessor. He commands an army
which Napoleon would have deemed
sufficient to subvert the Austrian EN-
pire, if that nation was contending
with France, without receiving aid
from any other power. But the Aus
trians are in much stronger force in
Italy at the present time than at the
commencement of this century. When
the two armies meet on the field of
conflict, it will soon be shown whether
Louis is, as respects military genius,
a Bonaparte, or merely the "fortu-
nate adventurcr he is represented to
be by the English press.
