The Cincinnati Convention.

The National Liberal Republican
Convention was held in the city of
Cincinnati, Ohio last week, and result
ed in the choice Of the Chappaqua
farmer and printer-philosopher, Hon
ACE GREELEY, for President and
B. GRTz Brown, Governor of Mis-
souri,, also an editor, for the second
place on the Ticket. c. +. Adams
and Lyman Trumbull led in the Con
vention, but by certain combinations,
Horace's stock went up rapidly after
the few first ballots. Adams was
probably the choice Of the leading
men of the Convention-those from
New England, at least. But all said
and done, Horace is going to make a
pretty good run, and those who laugh
at the nomination now, will be sur
prised to see that sold white coat
flap in the evening breeze, and dis
tance Ulysses in the race
We have only to say at the present
time that we hope the Democracy Of
the country will not commit them
selves in favor Of this or any other
political movement until after the
assembling of the National Demo
cratic Conyention-which will be held
soon, We trust-and then $50 in for
the platform, nominations and
other arrangements adopted by that
Convention. The Greeley-Brown con-
vention was attended by many dis
tinguished RepublicanS-who will not
swallow Grants Administration, nor
vote for him for President again
such as ex-Senators, Congressman,
Governors, ex-Cabinet Officers, Mem
bers of the L. S. House Representa-
tives, distinguished Editors, ETC.
Many prominent Democrats were also
present as spectators.

The old meeting house at the Cen
tire, which forty years ago, with its
fine looking dome, lowered up as a
grand edifice, has bee taken down,
and the brick are to be used to build
a church near Bailey's Mills for which
the money has been nearly all subscrib-
ed. The old residents of the town rem
cmber the former structure with its
many associations. 1t had large gale
ries on three sides and pulpit in the
centre Of the west end, and was the
town house in which all the great
political contests and strife of the
town were held, besides its use for
church purposes and 9muscments.
Forty years ago the Centre was the
most lively and enterprising village in

The transit of Venus, which will
take place on the 9Th of December,
1874, is very interesting phenom-
enon, inasmuch as it is expected to af-
ford data for determining the true dis
tance of the earth from the sun, as
well as to decide whether or not Venus
is attended by a moon. As the last
transit of Venus occurred in 1869, and
with the exception of one in 1882
there will not be another for q hun
dred years to come.

We hear it suggested that the coun.
ties known as The Purchase" in Ken.

essee counties as might desire to join,
90 into consolidation, and that the
Fairs will be held in rotation, in the
counties represented in the Association.
For instance in Paducah the first year
Hickman next, then Mayfeld, aud on
through each Of the counties. As at
present none realize any profit \
few years ago, Fairs were novelties,
and were attended by great crowds,
from whom n handsome revenue was
derived. These exhibitions have now
become so common-the high general
public interest has abated, and the in
comes of course diminished. We be-
ieve that if six or eight of the ad-
joining counties would thus cousoli
date, and hold annually and alternate
ly, District Fair on the Fair grounds
in one of the counties, larger revenue
and larger premiums would be the re-
suit. To have the District Fair sta

the exclusive advantage of any coun-

Valuable Hints.

A regular habit of body is absolutely
essential TO physical health and clearness
of intellect. Nor is this all. Beauty of
person cannot co-exist with an unnatural
condition OF the bowels. a free passage
of the refuse matter of the system through
these natural waste pipes, is as necessary
to the purity of the body as the free pas
sage of the otfal of city through its
fsewers is necessary 10 the health of its
inhabitants.
Indigestion is the primary cause of the
most Of the diseases Of the discharging g
organs, and one of the most common re-
suits is constipation. This complaint,
many disagreeable concomitants-such as
an unpleasant breath, sallow skin, con-
taminating blood and bile, hemorrhoids,
headache, loss of memory and general
debility.
Hostet4er's stomach Bittcrs remove all
these evils by removing their Immediate
cause in the digestive organs, and regu-
lating the action of the intcstineS. The
combination of properties in this eelebra-
ted preparation is one of its chief merits.
1t is not merely q stimulant ora tonic, or
an anti-bilious agent or neryine, or a
blood depurent, or cathartic, but all
these curative elements judieiously blend
ed in one powerful restorative. 1t lends
activity and vigor TO the inert and ener-
waited stomach, relieves the alimentary
canal of its distractions, and gives tone
to the membrane which lines it, gently
stimulates the liver, braces the nerves,
and cheers the animal spirits. No other
remedy. possesses such a variety of hy-
gienic virtues. 1t is 20 these character
istic virtues that it owes its prestige as a
household medicine. Experience has
proved that it is as harmless as it is eff
cacious, and hence it is as popular with
the weaker sex as with the stronger.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are sold in
bottles only, and the trademark blown in
the glass and engraved on the label is the
test of genuineness. Beware Of counter
feits. ~
