Heavy Republican Gains all Deer
the State.

HARTFORD, Oct. 5-The election to-day fol
town officers resulted in the success of the
Democr attic ticket by 1888 majority, which is
about the same as last spring, counting the
relative gains and losses of both porties. The
vote appropriating half million dollars each
from the town treasury in aid of two new rail-
road projects was carried by large vote. Inc
following is the result of the vote for the Con
necticut Western road 402S, against 3l9. For
the Connecticut Valley 1854 against 5l5. This
secures the building OF both roads without
doubt.

Coffee and frequent childbirth it is far otener caus-

brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them. 1t but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
life HEALTH and happiness OF in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently affect less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress the early confinement of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus. with the body half clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting
in midnight revsl the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is halt accom-
plished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
tenn, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbdding
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and
tention organic health and strengths the exposure

complete prostration produced by excessive dancing
must OF necessity produce their legitimate effect At
least early marriage caps the climax OF misery,
and the unfortunate one hitherto utterly regard

delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture of

Long before the ability to exercise the functions

their peculiar system, com posed of what is
called the tissue which is, in common with the fe-

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-Addle and Nannle Brown,
aged and years, were burned to death in
Charle.town Saturday night. They were

against them, upsetting fued lamp.
Second Dispatch. The anti-Butler Conven-
ton was well attended and enthusiastic. A.
A. Abbott, of Peabody, presided and in his
opening speech paid his respects to Butler as
follows:
When candidate fol- public Office so forgets
the decencies of life as to call honest men
traitors, it is time that they seame to plain
words, and that the truth be told. The opposi-
ton to General Butler is not based entirely
upon his opposition to General Grant, or his
pernicious political opinions but upon the
following grounds, which the speaker read -
Because he is elf-willed arrogant, headstrong,
domineering, of violent temper and bitter ha-
tired, intractable, implacable and inconciliato-
ry. His governing passion seems to he either
to rule or ruin. A friend if you submit, an en-
my it you resist. He is persisting, unyIelding,
bold, bent upon his own way at all hazards,
artful and adroit In private life not without
generous qualities, but In public lite knowing
no scruples; of great abilities, not troubled
with modesty, devoid of moral sensihilities, of
keen wit, but abusive in speech and diction,
with his faculties all sharpened and acute
Such, he said was the man in whom the Re-
publican leaders all over the country do not
cOnfide. Such was the man in whom they as
independent electors of the Filth District would
not and could not confide. -.
Mr.. Abbott's remarks We're received with
loud applause.
Mr.. Dana in accepting the nomination for
Congress, spoke at considerable length, review
ing tue position assumed by Butler on the fl
nancial question and stigmatizing him as the
lshmael of the Republican party. 1t is claim
ed by Butler that he is the regular candidate
and therefore should be elected, The speaker
thought This did not follow The great contest
OF liberty has been fought, not by the rsgn-
I9rS, DuU Nv the volunteers nd tho militia nd
with them in those contests he (MIr. Danaj cast
his lot. (Great Applause.)
He continued with some criticisms upon the
caucus management, which he declared the
weakest point IN our political system and said
| that this in connection with the rioid Marty
| discipline of the Democratic party which Gen.
| Butler now proposes to engratt upon the Re-
| publican organization, was the reason of thai
| degradation of the Democratic party which
| Butler so much deplores.
