Gus tonic has borne down all opposition and eclipsed
all rivalry the demand for it has annually increased
in heavier and heavier ratio for years, until the
regular sales of this preparation exceed those of all
other stomachics combined. Eminent members of
the medical profession and hospital surgeons without

duces such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases as Hosteters Bitters

EFFECTS OF THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION IN
New HAMPsHIRE.-We are permitted to make
the following extract from letter from lead
ing Democrat in Concord, N. H., to gentle.
man in this city:
1.-THE effect of the election in Connecticut is
rather against us in this State, more especially
since we were confident that the Democrats
would carry the State handsomely. In our
State there is no choice for Governor and the
House OF Representative elects. In this branch
the two parties are nearly evenly divided
Three or four Republicans were elected by
Democratic votes and it has been supposed
they would go with US and vote for Weston
when the question came before them and thus
decide the vote in his favor. But, since the
election in Connecticut it is rumored, and I
fear the rumor 10 true, that they will stick to
their party, and, if necessary to secure Pixies
election, will vote for him. shall not be sur
prised to see Republican organization Of the
House, the election of q Republican in the
Councillor district where there was no choice
making the Council stand three Republicans
and two Democrats-the election of the Re-
publican candidate in the vacant Senatorial
district-making that body tie-and the uti.
mate election Of Mr.. Pike as Governor. We
hoped for better state of things, but Conuec-
ticut has upset all our calculations

RETURN OF SEIZED LIQUoRs.-The invoice Of
liquors seized by the State Constables of Mas.
sachusetts the other day, was returned to the
owners on Wednesday evening, in consequence
of the advice given to Major Jones by the Leg
islative Committee on the State police, and a
mol. pros. in the case is to be entered by the
District Attorney. The Herald thus describes
the scene:
About halt past six five two-horse draws
might have been seen on Bromfield street Ee-
fore the entrance to the storehouse of that
great reform institution, the State Constabula-
ry. Soon they were loaded with puncheons.
pipes, casks barrels and otaer receptacles con.
talnlng divers quantities OF liquid measure.
Smaller wagons were filled with bottles and
Jugs containing precious fluids, be they good
or bad. When the vehicles were well loaded
the train proceeded slowly to Exhapge street
and delivered its valuable freight into the hands
OF the well known firm of Ralph Smith g. Co.
from whom it was so ruthlessly taken on Thurs.
day last. The whole affair was conducted ia
the most quiet manner possible, and but very
few on the street noticed the proceeding, Some
few vulgar boys" with rude jests, lacerated
the heart strings Of officers Gfeeq rR.nhhA7
but the small number of older and more con,
siderate spectators refrained from ANYTHING
which might add to the crest-iallen feelings of
the officers.

.,osr remarkable case of wholesale thlev-
inc has inst been broken up by the New York
noI;oa which ia thus briefly told. Colfax &
Overtou. a firm of clothing dealers, doing bust
mass to the amount of half a million dollars per
wear. keeping at least 100000 in stock on hand,
complained to the police lately that their bal
ance sheet was not satisfactory, their stock of
clothing had shrunk more than was good for
them. They suspected their two porters, young
young men of Is and %, who were entrusted
with the keys of the store. A decoy was &C
cording sent by the police early one morning
before the clerks arrived, to buy clothing, and
he purchased suit of clothing. AS no return
was made to the cashier of the money paid the
young men, Horner and Jones, were arrested,
and after brief confinement confessed that
their thievIng operations has been going on
about six months; that more than $4,000 in
goods had been distracted from Messrs Colfax
g. Overton's store, small parcels being taken
| daily and handed over to one Sullivan, who,
with James Maloney were their partners. The
goods were taken to Chicago, where Sullivan
and Maloney opened store of stolen goods,
| under assumed names. After running it about
| two weeks they sold out and returned to New
York, Sullivan taking himself and family off to
| Europe for their health. When Jones went to
Chicago for his own and Horner's share of the
proceeds he found that they had been "beat
dead" In order to get square on the transac-
ton it was agreed between Jones and Horner
that they should sell all the goods they could
for Colfax & Overton in the absence of the
clerks and principals and divide the proceeds
Jones complained, in his confession, that Hor-
ner took the lions share, and said if the thing
had been honestly conducted he, Jones, would
have had money enough to oLen store of his
| own and do an honest business.

'sLife of Mother Julia, Foundress of the
Sisters Of Notre Dame, with History of
the Order in the United States" Through
D. Neylan, Public Square, we are in receipt
of this issue of the Catholic Publication
Society. 1t is story, simply told, of
womans faith and love and perseverance
in well doing. The guillotine of Robes
pierre left in France thousands of orphans
and homeless children, whose pitiful condi-
ton inspired Mother Julia with the idea of
founding an order of religious women spe-
cially devoted to these little ones; so that
the Sisters of NOtre Dame now laboring for
the poor in every Christian land, may be
regarded as a direct offspring of the horrible
Reign of Terror. In view of recent move
ments in the Episcopal Church and else
where, to find sphere for woman in the
work of the Church, this publication seems
very opportune at this time; the more so,
as it is an unvarnished, unexaggerated story
of the trials and triumphs that such ven
lures generally encounter. Although writ
ten in an eminently religious spirit, there is
no appeal to the miraculous. 1t may in
terest our readers to know that the Sisters
of Notre Dame have 20 houses in the
United States, scattered from Boston, Mass,
to Willamette, Oregon, educating 498
boarders, 892 day scholars, and 13, III free
scholars, besides night and Sunday-schOOls.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.
WAsHINGTON, y. c., Nov. IA, ISL
With reference to the conference Of leading
Democrats upon the approaching Presiden
tial canvass, a letter was shown lis to-day
from party manager in Ohio, who says
the conference is invited to come off in New
York during the latter part of this month;
that much has already been done towards
an understanding, through correspondence;
that, singularly enough, the most pro
nounced sticBlers for party organization
heretofore are now favoring a coalition Of
the Democrats with conservative elements
outside, and the nomination OF candidates
for President and Vice President to repre-
sent this cOalesced organization. Among
those who advocate this is gentleman who
had very strong support in the National
Democratic Convention in 1868.
The writer of this letter doubts the prac-
ticability of this scheme, and thinks the
DOW WOW of self-constituted representatives
of the Democratic party win result in con-
firrnation of his views, and the end will be
the close organization of the Democratic
party, and the nomination of candidates
within that organization.
