The claims of Frederic Douglass to be
nominated as one of the Republican
candidates for member at large Of the
New York State Constitutional Conven-
ton, are ending friends to urge them.
He does not seek the place, but his
name has been prominently put forward
because he is representative man.
At the Glen's Falls Gas-Works in
Troy N. Y, the experiment of substi-
tuting peat for coal in the manufacture
of gas has been tried with considerable
success. The Troy Times says that one
hundred and fifteen pounds of dried
peat taken from bed not more than
three feet below the surface, yielded
seven hundred and eighty-four feet of
gas, or five and eighty one-hundredths
of gas to the pound, while from the
best coal used at the Works, the yield of
gas does not exceed four feet and forty
one-hundredths to the pound. The cost
of peat is much less per ton than that
of the coal, usually employed in the
of gas.
A correspondent of the indianapolis
Journal describes fearful tragedy
which he says occurred near Peru, Indi-
ana, few days since. A man sold his
farm for $l4 600 and went to Peru to
deposit the money. He woke in the
night with strong presentment that |
had gone wrong with the
family, and was with difficulty persua-
ded to return to bed by two of his neigh
bors who occupied the same room. In
the course of half an hour he again
awoke, and persisted in going home.
His friends accompanied him home.
On reaching his house he found it lock-
ed and heard noise within. Looking
through the window he saw his wife
and his four children murdered. The
of the ploody deed were
still in the house, ransacking every cor
Ter and receptacle for booty. The far
ner and his friends forced an entrance,
and attacked the murderous freeboeters,
four in number, shot three of them
lead, and severely wounded the fourth.
On being washed and stripped of the
lisguise, the wounded man proved to be
10 other than the purchaser of the farm.
SECRETARY SEWARD AND MAXifIL-
few days since the Austrian En-
Dcr0r sent telegram direct to Count
Nydembruck, his minister here, di-
Getting him to say to Mr. Seward that
he Emperor's brother wa, surrounded
" the liberals in Mexico an! his life
and to ask tho Secretary, in
be Emperor's name, to Interfere to save
lin and he asked this of lis ;s it was
he only Government in a position to
ccomplish anything. Mr.. Seward at
nee dispatched message to Juarez,
him to let MaXimilian get
way as quietly and rs easily as possible.
t is significant that the Austrian En-
error did not speak of Maximillian by
ny title, but simply as my brother.'
nsA. Especial care should he given to
he diet, take light food and bat little at
time. Great care should be taken not
0 take anything indigestible into the
tomach. Many persons when recover
ng from fcvcrs have craving appetites,
nd not unfrequently, through the over
ttentions of the nurse, mix together in
he stomach the most incongruous arti-
les of food; others, again, recovering
rom disease, have no appetite at all, and
eed some gentle tonic and stimulant to
ssist the internal organs of the body to
erGorm their regular functions. To
uch we say, procure Robdck's Stomach
5ihers, commence with a small quanti-
y in sugarand water, and as the strength
eturns, increase the dose, and continue
hem until all SYMPTOMS of debility have
disappeared.
