Midsummer Maladies.

The hot solar rays that ripcn the bar
vests generate many distressing diseases.
If the liver be at all predispOsed to ir-
regularities, this is the season in which
bilious attacks may be anticipated. 4
weak stomach, too, is weakest in the
summer months, and the loss OF vitality
through the pores by excessive perspira-
ton is so great, that a wholesome tonic,
combining also the properties of diffu-
sive stimulant and gentle exhilarant, is
in many cases necessary to health, and
under no circumstances should be DIS
pensed with by the sickly and dcbilitated.
Of all the preparations intended thus to
refresh, sustain, and fortify the human
frame, thero Is none that will compare
with Hostetter's Celebrated Stoinac5
Bitters. They have been weighed III the
balance of experience apd not found
wanting; have been recommended from

as beverage, and in spite Of interested
opposition from innumerable quarters,

head Of all proprietary me'licinos m
tended for the prevention and cure Of AT
ordinary complaints OF the st'iaaeh, the
liver, the bowels, and tho i9sses. IN
the unhealthy districts bor;sasing the

Senator Summers Reply.

The reply of Senator Sumner to Speaker
Blaine discloses the fact that the well put ar
guments of the latter are keenly appreciated
by the great Senator from the bad temper
that he shows Beyond that it is illogical
and lame in all its conclusions. That man
like Charles Sumner should believe that the
very Congressman who within three months
interposed every obstacle known to parlia-
mentary tactics to prevent vote on his Civil
Rights bill, that every one of those Democra-
tic Senators who denounced the measure in
the severest terms, have been so changed by
the nomination of Mr.. Greeley as to become
its advocates, is past conception. Does he
believe it or has his hatred against the Presi-
Swallowed all other considerations? Does
Mr.. Sumner believe that Ex-Governor Vance
of North Carolina who will be member Of
the next Congress, will support the Civil
Rights bill. When Mr.. Vance says: owe
will take little Greeley and mix it with the
issues zoe louc, vote the ticket but curse
Greeley" Does Mr.. Sumner believe that
either of the Democratic Congressman re-
elected last week in North Carolina will
change their votes of last March against any
legislation to make the Constitutional amend
ments effectual? The idea is so preposterous
that it cannot be entertained a moment by
sane man, and Mr.. Summers last letter only
serves to make that fact more conspicuous.

Destructive Fire in Pennington.
FLETCHER,s FACTORY IN RUINS
FARMrNGros. AUG. eth. 1872

PENNINGTON, Aug. 9Th, 1872
To the Editor Of the Press:
About 10 a. M, during the performance of
Howe's circus, the alarm was given, and the
crowd in attendance made a stampede for the
scene. On their arrivla at the fire, it was under
such Roadway that no earthly power could stop
it, and in less than two hours the whole build
ing was in runins
Mr.. A. III. Fletcher had just completed the
mill, and was doing quite an extensive bust
ness The MILL contained two sets of burrs
for grinding corn, also pleaster mill and gro
Gerry store. 1t was provided with all the latest
improvements in mill machinery.
1t is supposed the fire originated in the en-
CINE room. Mr.. Fletcher had been expecting
some corn and was intending to grind it that
night, and Steamed up" for that purpose; as it
did not arrive he fixed everything safe, as he
supposed, and went to the circus, leaving fifty
pounds of steam on
The loss is about $50, OOO insured for $4,000 in
the Home of New York, and $500 in the Etna.
Three hundred pounds of wool were in the
building, one hundred pounds of which were
saved. Mr.. Fletcher saved his safe and all his
books and accounts.
In conversation with him this morning, 1
asked if this took his courage down any. ooh,
no; shall build right up again" he answered
Luckily the night was calm, else our COM
munity would have been visited by Chicago

ing in vast quantities, caught in several places
nearly half a mile from the spot The circus
tent some quarter of mile away, was hastily
taken down on account of the cinders.
The boiler. learn, will be saved, as it was
encased in brick and not materially damaged.
Mr.. Fletcher has the sympathy of our entire
community; but this goes not a great distance
in repairing the lost, and great one it is to
this place.

YARMOUTH, Aug G. 1872.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The Democrats got jubiant here last night,
over something, no one knows what, brought
out their blunderbusses and blazed away for
an hour or two, but would tell no one what the
fun was. Evidently they did not want any one
to rejoice with the favored few gathered about
the cannon, which, by the way, they handle
remarkably well for men who have learned it's
use entirely siuce the late unpleasantness-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Strange how easily we
forget such things
Some thought last night that the news of
Davis release by H. G. and others, had just
reached here. Others that the young men of
the party had laid hands on the gun snd wanted
to celebrate for the fun of the thing, and others
that the reading part of the party had, from
reading the ever truthful Argus, come to be-
love that c. P. Kimball was elected Governor
some time ago, and was celebrating that. Now,
Mr.. Editor, can you tell us what was the trouble.
Have they got anything to crow over-if 80
what?
Another thing want You to tell u.s. Mr.. Ed
ltor. How it is that the Democrats having
given up their name and taken that of Liberal
Republicans-having clasped hands over that
bloody chasn having by means of all this elect
ed Liberal Republican ticket in North Caro-
lima, Ia State always Democratic) but now Re-
publican through the Liberals-how is it that
every Democratic paper in the country claims a
straight out-and-out, old fogy. Democratic Sem
ator in place of the present Incumbent? Are
the Liberal Republicans simply tools? Are the
men in our State who have joined the move
ment, selling themselves for mess of pottage,
and mighty poor mess! that of voting Dem
ocrats into power "only that and nothing more"
division of spoils where. why where and
only where there is not a shadow of hope of
electing any one else, there they make a show
of running renegade Republican.
Please give answer to the questions asked and
oblige one of the anxious lockers on.

Among the letters received was the following
from the Hon. E. 7. Pillsbury, of Maine:
enclose copy of call for a Liberal Re-
publican Convention in this district, as pub
very flattering. l believe we shall carry the
State in September. We shall add several hun
dreds to the call. The work goes bravely on.
The Headquarters were open during the day
yesterday, but not for the transaction of bust
ness. Many visitors called to inquire for the
"latest news from North Carolina" but no dis
patches were received. Hundreds of dispatches
received ON Saturday from all parts of the
country. Among abe number was the follow
ing from Portland, Maine:
1t is reported here that North Carolina is
against us. AS we have Jubilee tonight let
me know the facts Immediately.
c. P. KIMBALL.
To this John P. Lindsay responded, giving
Mr.. Barringers dispatch, adding:
Our victory is complete. The old North State
has struck the death blow to Grantism. Let
Maine dig the grave in September, and the
loyal people of the nation will bury the corrupt
corpse in November.
If the people of Maine could know who
this John P. Lindsay is they would be amused
at the impudence of his prating about corrup-
ton. He suddenly turned up during Mr..
GrinnelPs collectorship as the organizer and
chief of the famous Carriage Bureau, which
Grinnell was persuaded to form at his urgent
entreaty, and with the idea that it would
prove great political machine. Lindsay
made no secret of his purpose to use it as
means of PROSECUTING the cartmen to Republi-
canism. The Bureau proved so unpopular
and provoked such earnest remonstrances
rom merchants tina. Mr.. Grinnell was obliged
to give it up. Thus Lindsay lost his place
and instantly became imbued with an awful
sense of the corruption and wickedness of the
Administration. He is precious beauty to
give advice to the electors of Maine. If he
could have had his way the Custom House
would have been managed in the interest OF
the party pretty much as the City Govern
ment was run for the benefit of the Tammany
Ring.
1t is the shocking fact that just such fellows
as this Lindsay are coming to the surface that
ought to,cure honest men of Greeleyism.
