Some of the city papers are fighting the
rise in the price of ice desperately. They
say the talk of short cropis all nonsense.
They have examined the thermometrical
record for the past winter, and fluid that it
marks the weather colder than the ay-
erace, and from this they arrive at the
conclusion that there must have been q
full ice crop, and that the reported scarcity
is humbug. We wait to see whether their
reasoning will bring down the price OF the

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Connecticut will hold her election
next Monday. There are, a. was the
case In New Hampshire, three tickets
In the field. Last year the Democrats
and Liberals carried the State with the
Of the Senate, where tho
Republicans have 4 majority OF one.
They arc very hopeful Of ~rs-electing
Governor Ingersol, who, Ii Is but fair
to say, has made an upright and
capable Executive. The chief contest
will BE- fer the Legislature, which will
elect . successor to United States Sem
ator Buckingham. The contest will
undoubtedly be close. Should the
opposition have = majority Of the Leg
islaturc Ii Is hard to say who will be
the fortunate Individual selected. Mr..
Buckingham, 1t seems to be conceded,
stands tho best chance for reelection
should the Legislature be Republican.
Many Of the Republican papers urge
the claims Of Congressman n. H..
Barnum Of the Fourth District, while
the names Of Mr.. Hubbard and Gov.
Ingersol arc mentioned BY the DEM
ecratic and Independent press. There
are also other candidates on the Re-
publican side, among the most con-
splcuous Of whom are Ex-Governor
Hawlsy, now In Congress, and ex-
Governor Jewell. now United States
Minister to Russia. As heretofore,
Connecticut will doubtless be a close
State aud considerable money will be
expended to carry close districts and
control the Legislature. The elect OF
simmons nomlnation will doubtless
be manifest, rs perhaps more than any
other New England State the business
Interests Of Connecticut and Mass
achusstts arc allied. lt Is hard to pre-
dict what the result will DO, but thore
are Indications which point to the sue
cess OF tho Opposition. The full Of
feet OF tho disastrous appointment to
the Boston Collectsrship, will not DO
known until amer this election. IL Is,
however, evident that great dissatis-
faction prevails thereat ameng the bet
ter aad older class OF Republicans
throughout New England. Whether
this will determine the election just at
hand In favor Of the Opposition, it Is
impossible to predict with certainty.

4 Very Brilliant Record Of Cures.

An American humorist tells US that

cost of a chronic dyspepsia, to which
he is martyr, and which he says it is
Impossible to cure. On this point,
Gosh Bllliugs," (for he is the party re-
ferred toy is mistaken. Unless bis
stomach differs from all other dyspep-
tic stomachs, Hostetter's Bitters will
cure him in less than three months.
This it would be safe to guarantee un-
der any penalty. There are few, a
very few, actual specifics for disease in
existence, and Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters may be net down as one of them.
In cases of indigestion it never fails.
Persons who had suffered for many
years almost every conceivable species
Of torture from this agouizing COM
plant, have been permanently cured
with the Bitters in six weeks. Hun
dreds of such instances are on record,
authenticated by the testimony of
prominent men in every walk of life,
eminent physicians among the number.
But this celebrated vegetable prepera-
ton is something more than stom-
achic and a tonic. 1t is also an alter
alive of wonderful virtue. In liver
complaint it's effect is as direct and i'm
mediate as that of calomel OF blue pill,
and far more salutary; and in all dis.
eased conditions of the bowels, nota.
bly, in cases of constipation, its regu-
lating properties are in the highest
degree serviceable. The new settle
