POPULAR VOTE FOR pREs1DB,,r

The -Tribune Almanac for 1867, which
will be published in few days, will con.
tain official returns of the vCee for Presiden-
tial Electors from rearly every State in the
Union In cor3equence of the early meeting
ot the Electoral Colleges, it was impossible
to get III. all tie returns in some of the large
Western States, such as Missouri, Iowa, the
E,ichigan Peninsula, Minnesota, &c, but
these deficiencies are trivial, and make no
ditferance in the relative proportion OF the
vote. The aggregate vote, as actually re-
turned, is D. 1,702-say 100000, includ-
ing such as were included by being too
late or those duly returned the respective
candidates had
Abraham Lincoln 2,lS2, ,502
George Brlnton Mcclellan l,775,200
Majority for Lincoln 40I,302
Taking the entire popular vote in all the
States entitled to voice, we may put Lin
coins clear majority at ForR HUNDRED AND

SYM PToMs.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
stive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a Slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawl1ed or coughed of. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom OF
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning of thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person mag be sure that his disease is on it's
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for
our pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; ;
