sSy"OuR CONGRESSIONAL NoMINEE.-The
Republican Conferees of this Q4th) district,
at their third and last meeting or Fri
day and Saturday, nominated Hon. GEO. T.
Miller Oh the 313th ballot. The result,
it is useless to deny, greatly disappointed
the friends of J. B. PACKER, Esq, who for
obvious reason, which we need not now re-
fer to, felt almost certain of success. Among
them, however, we might mention the fact,
that Mr.. Packer was the representative Of
two counties, Dauphin and Northumberland,
which poiled, In round numbers, over 5000
votes Mr.. Miller represented Union and
Snyder, which polled something over 6,000
or about as many as Northumberland clone,
Mr.. Patterson represented Juniata, with
something over 5000 votes. Thus it will be
seen Mr.. Packer was the. choice of more than
two.thirds of the voters of the entire district,
or more than twice as many as either of the
other candidates. We refer to the above
facts, not for the purpose of exciting any
i'll feeling, but in justification of Mr.. Packers
friends, in maintaining what they deemed
their just rights. But as Mr.. Packer has
seen fit to yield his claims, looking rather
to the success of the principles of the party,
than to his OWE personal aggrandizement,
his friends will be constrained to follow his
example. We cannot, therefore, do better
than to refer to the following article on this
subject, from the Harrisburg Telegraph OF
Tuesday last:

JOHN. B. PACKER, ESQ.

This gentleman, as is wei! known, was
prominently brought before the Congrcssion-
al Conference of this District for the nomina
tion. He had two counties, and as the con-
test reached that stage when it was necessary
for some one of the candidates to give way
for the sake of promoting the harmony and
preserving the strength of the party, Mr..
Packer did not hesitate moment to inform
the Conference that he was ready to yield
whatever claims he had to secure the imme-
diate nomination of any man who could har-
monze the Union party. In fact, he prompt
ly requested his conferees to withdraw his
name, urging that he was more desrous for
the harmony of his partisan friends than
for any honors they had to bestow. This
generous action on the part of Mr. Packer
led at once to the denomination of Hon.
George F. Miller Nor did Mr. Packer stop
with this action; but as President of the
mass meeting held in this city on Saturday,
he was the first man to ratiiy the nomination
for Congress by earnestly urging the election
of Mr.. Miller. There is something so noble
and consistent in this action, that we cannot
refrain thus publicly to accord to it the
proper credit. Party organizations do not
often overlook such course, and we predict
that John B. Packer will very soon reap the
reward of his manly action before the late
Congressional Conference"

~ MASS MEETING AT HARRIsBURG-
SPEECH OF Hon. JOHN b. PACKER, OF Sun
BURY.-On Saturday last an immense Union
Mass Meeting was held at Harrisburg. The
Telegraph says that by noon the city was
crowded, and the arrival of the afternoon
trains still added to the throng. The whole
affair was decided success, and cannot
fail to be productive of good. 1t was the
largest meeting that has been held in Har-
risburg for many years.
The meeting was organized in front of the
Court House, by selecting the Hon. John B.
Packer, of Sunbury, as President, and ap-
pointing large number of Vice Presidents
and Secretaries. Speeches were delivered
by Mr.. Packer, Maj. Gen. Geary, Hon. L. W.
Hall, Gen. Simon Cameron and Hon. G. A.
Grow.
Mr.. Packer, as President, in calling the
meeting to order, made the following re-
marks, as reported in the Telegraph, of
Monday last -
Hon. John B. Packer, before taking the
chair, deemed it in place to congratulate the
people Of the Fourthteenth District ON the
result of the labors of their Conferees, and the
denomination of George 2. Miller as our can
didate for Congress. Mr.. Packer confessed
the pride he felt in being so steadily sup
ported by his friends as q candidate before
that conference, but it was with proudcr
feelings that he now declared his entire sat
i.faction with the nomination of Mr. Miller,
and urged the friends to rally for his sup
port. The great Union party has higher
objects in view than that of merely confer
ring honor on men. Selected by the emer-
gency of great occasion to oppose and
defeat treason in the field, it is now the duty
of the Union men Of the country to defeat
treason In the Council Chamber. To &C.
complish tins, it is our duty to support all
our regularly nominated candidates for office
NJ. Packer then briefly alluded to our en-
couraging prospects of success. Everywhere
the people are aroused, and from every
quarter of this great Commonwealth the
result or the second Tuesday of October will
prove that as the safety of the Government
in war depended on the patriotism and yaloi
of the people, so can it depend in peace on
their intelligence and devotion to the right

DIR. HosTETTER-Sir:-Iha have long delayed
writing to you my sincere thanks for the good
you have done my daughter. lean truly say that
nothing but the kind hand of Providence and
your BITTEEs have saved her from an early
grave. For three years have been doctoring
her with syrups and all kinds of bitters that have
been recommended to me for her. besides having
two first rate physicians; but all seemed to do
her no good, while was searching the almanaes
and all the newspapers that could get hold OF,
in hopes of finding something that would suit
her case. Accidentally there came part of anews-
paper around some goods that bought at the
Spa. In looking over it l saw at glance that
your BlTTERs was just what she needed. sent
the next day to Ballston Spa and got bottle OF
your BiTTERs. She commenced taking them,
and such change in one week with her appetite,
and the distress that victuals occasioned. and
that burning in the Stomach, never saw in my
life, as there was in her. She has taken three
bottles, and is now able 10 work all the time. I
think there is a little deragement of the Liver
Please send me three bottles more, which hope
will cure her entirely. We and others thought
che had disease OF the heart, but that beating
and futtering that would almost stop her from
breathing at times, is all gone

THE LATEST New YoRK FASHION

IHE LATEST NEW DIRK FASHION
GossIP.-At this season. of the wear
there are very few fashionable novelties
worthy of mention. There are some
slight changes in bonnets, confined prin-
cipally to trimming. The strings which
tie the Pamela and Lamballe bonnets
on to the head, are now worn very mar
row, the ribbons barely measuring one
inch and a half in width. Either Ben
oiton chains are suspended underneath
these narrow strings, or else long tulle
lace lappets are crossed over the chest.
The Benoitons are frequently composed
of crossband of velvet, ornamented
with narrow fringe, this passes under
the chin, and is fastened with an agrafe
to each side of the bonnet.
At the sea side, and at the fashion
able inland watering-places, bonnets
are more popular than they have been
for many preceding seasons. The rea,
son for this is, that they are now reduc-
ed to mere picturesque head-dresses,
and are not bonnets at all. 1t is at the
Spas principally that these fanciful
head-dresses are to be seen tied to the
back of the head with long tulle stream
ers the narrow strings alluded TO
above, being tied at pleasure either un-
der the chin or under the chsg,eon.
Pspl,lnas are now added to nearly all
dresses intended for outdoor wear
This pepl,1m is, to name it more correc-
thy, a basque which is attached to the
waistband, and the waistband is worn
above the dress. 1t is an excellent CON
trivance for warm weather, as nothing
more is added over the shoulders when
out Of doors to the simple body, just as
it is worn in the house. This peplum-
basque can be added to almost any va
riety of bodice, even to white one
When the body is plain and matches
the skirt, then the pepl,ea-basque re-
places the paletot, and is worn out of
doors, as we remarked previously, with
out any other mantle or covering.
Pspluns are often very richly deco
rated. A favorite style in Paris for
silk pepl,tms is to surround them with
wreath, which follows the contour of
the peplstm. This wreath is made up
of either ivy or vine leaves mixed with
the different fruits, and is produced in a
novel style of embroidery, which is
worn in thick silk, sostache and beads.
The embroidery is black, the beads
white, and the leaves represented with
these white beads produce very nov
ell and distinguished effect.
There are great many varieties of
white bodices now in vogue. Among
the simplest and most ladylike are
those made of spotted white mus
lin with collar, cuffs, epauletts, and the
band down the front in fine linen, back
stitched and embroidered. More dres-
sy bodices are made quite plain, with
cheuroms or brande6ourys Of fine gui-
pure inserted into the clear muslin
White dresses for outdoor wear cut
with acasaqate which fits the figure, and
above the casague a wide waistband
made of white ribbon corded and bro
caded with color is worn the sash
ends falling at the back. IF the lower
half of the skirt is bo,sillonnaee, then
collored ribbon to match the cording of
the waistband is introduced into the
puffings.

An OLD SETTLER. Mr. Chauncey Loom
is of Bloomfield, Conn.,, picked up day or
two since, on his farm, a box turtle on which
his father, Jacob Loomis, had carved his
name and date in the year, 1898. Other
persons also had made their marks on the
creature at different times-the initials g b.
G. Harry CornislD 1877" being very plain.
This turtle is very likely older than the date
of old Cotton Mather's time and the Salem
witchcraftof nearly two centuries ago The
dates on its under shell extend across the
present breadth of the shell, showing that
the creature has not grown much. It is said
they will always keep about the same farm,
or the region Immediately adjoining it, and
travel back again if taken away.-HaryaM
