S. D. HOWE, M. D.-Dear Sir: 1t will be three
years next February since nay voice began to
fail, since then have spoken scarcely above
whisper. The doctors call it a bronchial affec-
ton, but have never been able to afford me any
permanent relief. 1 have tried all the various
remedies, but nothing seemed to do me much
good. 1 got so bad that was compelled to re-
linquish my business, and for nearly two years
have not been able to do much of pecuniary
benefit. About a fortnight since 1 was taken
suddenly with severe turn of coughing, and
in two days was so Frustrated that could not
sit up but little. In this condition L sent to
the druggists and got bottle each of the Ara
bian "Cure" and Arabian "Tonic," and they
have done me more good than all the other
remedies ever tried-in fact, am rapidly get
ting well. My cough has almost entirely ceas-
ed, and feel much better every way. My case
is of long standing, and we'll known in all this
region, and if yonr medicines effect a cure, it
will be looked upon as a miracle almost.
Very truly, E. L. BEoKLEY.
DIR. S. ID. Howe, proprietor of the above medi-
cine, is now at his parlors, No. and 6 Falmouth
Hotel, giving examinations and consultations
free of charge from 9 a. M. until p. M. of

The senatorship-Ns Chsice i. Either
Boston, March 24-The House and Senate
to-day respectively took an informal ballot for
United States Senator to fill the late Senator
Summers seat
The galleries and floor of each house we're
crowded to excess. The following is the vote in
81; B. R. Curtis, 63; Charles F. Adams, II;
John E. Sanford, 16; n p Banks, 5; Cover
nor Washburn, 2; and the rest Scattering.
In the Senate, the first and second ballot re-
suited as follows; Henry L. Dawes, IA; b. r.
Hoar, 10; B. r. Curtis, 10; Charles f. Adams,
Tue third ballot stood: H. L. Dawes II; E.
r. Hoar, 8; B. R. Curtis. 10; G. f. Adams, 2;
absent, 3.
The House after one ballot resumed its regu-
lar business, and probably will not vote again
before tomorrow.
The result of the three ballotings by the
Senate and one by the House to-day does not
inccate speedy election of United States Sen
ator. The total vote in the Senate was 81, and
in the House 235 Dawes led in the Senate and
Hoar in the House, but neither approached any
where near a majority. A ballot will be taken
at noon till choice is made. Probably no
election of the kind in Massachusetts, was ever
watched with greater interest by the people
than the one now pending.

NEW YORK, March 24-The advisory Ccun-
ell called by the Clinton avenue Congregational
Church and Church of tie Pilgrims, in Brook
lyn, to settle the point at issue in the recent
controversy with the Plymouth Church, held
its first session this evening in the first men,
toned church.
OF the 70 churches asked to join the confer
ence, "a were represented; 68 sent their pastor
and one other delegate and six churches were
represented only by their pastors. The Council
also includes several professors and doctors of
divinity, and contains 160 members.
The delegates were received by members of
the churches at their houses and accOmmOda-
among the members of DR.. Buddington's con-
gregation, so they may be neur the church in
which the conference is held. The meeting
was only for organization and the conference
will be practically opened tomorrow morning.

of ejectment in the Superior Court against

the city the grant of land under Harlem river
300 feet along the shore line and averaging $50
feet in breadth, made to Remsen by the sink
ing fund commissioners and in which Hart
had acquired large interest. The Corpora
ton Counsel believes this and similar grants by
the sinking fund commissioners for mere
nominal consideration and without sale are
void. The case came before Judge Donahue
to-day on motion by the defence to dismiss
tho complaint The land in question is said to
be worth 100000, and the decision will cover
conveyances by the commissioners along the
line of the Harlem river to the amount of
some S6,OOO,0OO

scientists are investigating the volcanic dis
turbances. Prof. Dupre Of Wafford College
says that the noises heard in the mountain are
common to both earthquake and volcanic char
acterstcs. Their area is limited to between
ten and twelve miles, all the shocks heng
heard between the Broad and Catawba rivers.
The professor did not Think there was any dan
ger, however, of any volcanic eruption.
There have been no shocks since last Friday,
but the people are still in a terribly agitated

Ouhst Dlstrlct COulcFc~
The Methodist District Conference met with
the church at Gorham yesterday morning.
There was fair attendance OF ministers
and of laymen.
Much of the morning session was taken up
with reports from the different Sunday Schools
in the district, The ministers and supernten-
dents uniformly reported enlarged attendance,
and good degree of religious interest in many
of the schools Following the report came a
discussion of the necessary qualifications for a
successful S. S. Superintendent. Most of the
sneakers acknowledged that the ideal superip-
tendent like the ideal ministers was not to be
found under the present dispensation, and for
the present it was better to select big-hearted
common sense man, though he be ever so un-
educated, than a cold, precise scholar. The
speakers seemed disguised with the present
shiftess method of the Sunday School eecting
the Superintendent, and claimed that he should
be chosen by the pastor and Sunday School
teachers.
In the afternoon came a discussion of the
question ''Shall Methodism lose its peculiari-
ties" Rev. D. B. Randall of Cape Elizabeth,
opened the discussion. He briefly and clearly
set forth the distinguishing peculiarities of
Methodsm, dwelling at length upon itinerancy.
He claimed that the large churches and leading
ministers no longer accepted the appointment
of the Bishop and his advisers, thus making
the richer churches and more popular ministers
Congregational in the matter. He showed
clearly the disastrous results of thus uniting in
one denomination systems so antagOniStic. Mr..
Randall defended warmly the tried pecularities
of Methodism, and approved of the modern i'm
provements introduced into our camp-meet-
ings.
Rev. Mr.. Pitblado followed He begged
Methodists not to exaegerate unessental pecul-
iarities such as kneeing at PRAYER, extempore
prayer, etc., claiming for all the largest liberty
in these respects. He urged them to stick to
the important peculiarities of Methodism, and
above ALL never lose their hold on the hearts of
the people; preach from the heart to the heart.
Then followed discussion of the need of
ethical work among Christians.
Rev. Mr. Munger of Alfred, opened the dis
custom. He claimed that piety of itself was in
sufficient without the performing practical ethi-
cal duties, and that the Holy Spirit of itself is
insufficient that God left to the church much
to do in training men whose religious education
had been imperfect
He was followed by Rev. Mr.. Trask of Gray,
who spoke of numerous sins of church MEM
bers, seemingly Christians, persisted in ignor-
an:ly or wickedly, which should be preached
against, such as attendance at the OPERA thea
tire. petty church gambling, &c. The frequent
and hearty amens that these remarks ELECTED
showed that the Methodist church believes that
Christianity means the entire consecrecatiOn of
man to God
At the close of this discussion the meeting
adjourned. This afternoon Rev. Mr.. Eggeston
gives talk upon Sabbath School instruction.

THE MICHIGAN TROUBLE.
Troops en- Route for the Scene of
Action.

DETROIT, March N.-Nothing definite has
been received in regard to the disturbance
among the boom companies men at Gowan.
The outbreak appears to have been caused by
the rivalry between a new boom company or
ganized this spring, and the old company. The
mill owners refused to open the draws and let
the logs run through, when the different COM
panies took the law into their own hands and
opened the gates, The draws are reported de-
stroyed.
There is much excitement among the lumber
men and there have been several collisions.
Several hundred armed parties stand guard
over the mills and dams and serious riot has
peen impending for the last two DAYS.
The Grand Rapids Guards left Grand Randi,
