GIRARD, IA, Marcn 81 lSb9.
EDITOR CosMOrLITE: desire, as unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbold's Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted yself to
say that after suting many eminent ply sicians,
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases. from which have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Hembold's Buchu, which
commenced using with little faith. and no apparent
benef al results for about a month At the expr-
alton of that time, however, thought commenced
TO experience slight relief, which encouraged me to
persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration of
four months, although am an infrm old man,
nearly 1s years of age, aad consequently medicines
cannot be expected to fayorably affect me they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbolds
valuable discovery, that feel ought to publicly
record the fact, an Acknowledgements to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
Yours respectfully, D. II. LAREN.

ruption er dimiuution of strength, unless
Il ibrsake just principles or be led by
rash counsels.
In regard to the nomination for COVER
nor 1t is safe to say that the good sense of
the republican party will alone control it,
and that it will be made with view to
give strength and permanancy to the prin-
ciples upon which it is based. Combina-
tons for any other purpose than this do
not exist, should not exist, and could not
be successful if attempted. The senti
ment of the the mass of the party will
prevail in the State convention, whatever
the opposition or fanciful writers may say
to the contrary. The election of Senator
will take care of itself in due time, and
nobody will be more disappointed or
chagrined probably than those who strive
to create difficulty and ominously croak OF
coming disaster. The path of duty is the
path of safety; in that we shall travel.
Hon. EbeneZer Knowlton of Montville
has sent to the Progressive Age letter,
of which the following is a copy, declin-
ing to have his name used as candidate
for nomination for governor:
So. Montville, April, 9Th, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR The last part of your article
naming me as candidate for Governor, puts
me on a platform upon which cannot stand.
The Temperance cause may not be so far adj
vanced in the nation at large that enforced
prohibition" can, as yet, be put into the nation
al republican platform. | rejoice that it has
been put into the republican platform of this
State. This plank, firm and sqnare-edged,
must remain in the platform, or cannot stand
upon it.
But as Hon. Sidney Perham was run as a
candidate for Governor last year, and as it is
now understood he will be supported again this
year; and as his views and mine are alike upon
this important measure of public policy, de-
cline to have my name used as candidate for
that office. Yours, &C.,

On Tuesday morning last, as has been stat
ed, the proposals for printing the new revision
of the Statutes of Maine were opened by the
Governor and Council. The several bids were
as follows:

ny of Hallowell, proposed to furnish in good

Enterprise and Impropement-Ihe Iron
works are doing good business, notwith-
standing the water in the Octeraro is very
low. The grist mill, stores, shops (of the
latter We have quito a number) are all going

approaching completion. NJ. N. Gillespie
is finishing the fifth house on Basin hun

men in the way of building, that We have
in our village, outside of the Iron Com
pany. Theodore Death has bought lot
from DR.. VIM. B. Rowland, on High st.,
and now has the foundation ready for
large house.
The Corn Crop.-The farmers have fin
ished cutting corn. The crop was supposed
TO be heavy one, until cutting commenced,
when it was found to fall short of expecta-
tions, III consequence of large number OF
stalks falling to produce ears. But the
farmers are grumbiing set Of fellows, at
best.
Attempted Murder-As Granville Rich
ards, son OF Isaac Richards, decd, was on
his way home, few nights ago, from the
Rising Sun, when near the lane leading to
VIM J. Evans buildings, some demon in
human shape, had secreted himself in
bunch of bushes near the road, intent on
murder. When Richards came opposite,
the villain raised and fired on him, the ball
passing through his coat near his heart
The report frightened the horse SO that he
ran some distance before he could be
checked. No information has been OBJ
tanned as to whom the would be assassin Is.

of Messrs. Lum and Rowland, on Church

Lum's family are already occupying his
part of the building.
Select School.-Miss Annie Foster has
opened Select School in one of the class
rooms of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
She is a competent teacher, and worthy
of large patronage.

We CLEAN the following article from the
Daily Standard published at Bridgeport,
Conn.,:
bridgeport Ahead Of the Whole World
"Our readers will not have omitted to
notice with pride, from time to time, the
progress of our town, in buildings and
in wealth. We claim in this respect, not
to be behind any other New England city.
But there is enterprise in manufactures
and the manner of carrying them on, which
is not made public but yet of great interest.
In this respect we would call attention
to the Ho,ce Machine Company. The splen-
did building 400 feet long, and three stories
high in connection with the factory shows
the rapid progress in the industry Of this
large establishment.
A result has been reached there during
the last two weeks which, although small in
proportion to what may be expected in the
future, surpasses anything heretofore
achieved in Sewing Machines. During
the week ending Goth of August as the
books show, there were 2020. And the
following week, ending August 27th, 1920
machines produced. Notwithstanding the
immense capacity for producing machines,
our Baltimore Agent, Mr.. j. F. Mckinney,
No. 1876, West Fayette Street, has not been
able to keep pace with the large demand
for Howe Sewing Machines"
We should judge by the large number of
Machines shipped to this town by J. F.
Mckinney, and distributed through the
country by Mr.. C. II. Danforth, that the
Howe Sewing Machine is getting to be the
leading Machine of the land.
