F. Hersey of Bangor is regaining his
health, and will soon be active as usual.

Senator Hamlin. by the Bangor Band
Thursday evening. "All our citizens,
says the Whig,"" are pleased at General
Hersey's return with much improved and
still improving in health, and last even
ing's tribute was but an expression OF the
general sympathy and esteem. Senator
Hamlin's strongest friends are those who

the cordial friendship of his neighbors and
fellow-ctizens."

The five mile race between George Brown
of Halifax, N. S., and William Scharff of
Pittsburg, Pa, for $4,000 side and the cham
ponshp of America, was rowed on the Con-
neticut, opposite Springfield, the latter part of
Wedne sday afternoon. Both men were in ex-
celent condition, and the water was as smooth
as could be desired. Scbarff soon took the
lead and held it for about a mile, when Brown
overhauled him, and thereafter kept ahead
until the end of the race. At the turning
stake Brown was about length ahead, and
during the first mile of the home stretch in
creased his lead several lengths. During the
last mile, however, Scharf made occasional
spurts and somewhat reduced the distance
between the two boats, but Brown had the
race in his own hands, and came in ahead in
SO minutes 45 seconds. The race was per-
fectly fair throughout-an honest trial, in
which Brown proved himself the better man.
Large amounts of money changed hands on
the result of the race. Brown was the fayo-
rite in the betting.

Sour Stomach.

If the food taken into the stomach is not digest
ed it decomposes. In the latter case pungcnt gas
is developed which causes sour eructation or else
the stomach itself secretes an acid, which, rising
upward at intervals, stings the outlet sharply. -
These extremely disagreeable sens atoms are at.
tributable to impaired digestion. To get rid of
them or prevent their recurrence, 1t is only neces-
sary to tone and regulate the gastric organs with
lioseters Bitlers. 1t will not answer to postpone
the great corrective with the idea that the unpeas.
ant symptoms viii disappear OF themselves. So
far from that being the case they invariably eulmi.
nate. if neglected, in chronic dyspepsia, with its
prevented vision, headache and sleepessness. 1t
is true all these disagreabes may be Obvated by a
course of the Bitters but how much wiser to an
ticipate their arrival with one two doses of that
sure preventive of indigestion and strengthened of
the alimentary organs. cod &W lW

depend upon any express provisions OF
the Constitution, but that it is an inherent
attribute of sovereignty existing in every
Independent State. In support of this
opinion, he draws a comparison between
the powers of Congress, under our present
Constitution, and those which existed un.
der the articles of Confederation. His
views are also sustained by numerous cit
ations from State and Federal Courts of
high authority. While declaring the ex-
istence in the General Government of the
power mentioned. Senator Mitchell does
nor recommend resort to its exercise at
this time, and only in case of absolute
necessity, if such should arise. He con-
templates such changes in our postal laws
as will enable the Department to make
Just compensation forthe carriage OF mails
on railroads, and also tend to the extern
sion of the mai, service as the growth of
the country may demand. The present
law, he regards as essentially defective,
and he therefore proposes to devote q
large part of his time, during the recess
of Congress, toward perfecting bill the
provisions of which, he hopes, will be ac-
ceptable to the railroad companies, and at
the same time be just to the Government.

OUT OF ANNUNITTON.

Since the adjournment of Congress the
democrats have found themselves without
ammunition. AT the opening in Decem.
Der they looked forward with hope to a
session that would leave them masters Of
the situation. They had much to encour'
age them. The finances were disordered,
the treasury was crippled. an addition to
taxation for the support of the govern
ment seemed impending, there was a
serious division of opinion among the
members in relation to the currency ques-
ton, and beside this there were the San
born contracts, the moety matter, and
many other embarrassing subjects to zeal
with. Few Congresses ever met under
more difficult circumstances than the last
did. few could have COPIED so successfully
with the obstacles they had to encounter.
We all know the law under which the
Sanborn contracts were effected was
abolished, also that the moiety system was
torn up by the roots, and that a general
oyerhauling of the affairs Of the govern
ment was made, cutting off abuses where
ever found and retrenching where re-
trenchment was possible. The process OF
publication was administered thoroughly
Barnacles that had been clinging to the
Ship of State were swept off. Reforms
were initiated and salutary examples set.
Expenses were cut down. Economy pre-
vailed. Jobbers were sent away empty
handed.
But the most difficult work of the ses-
sion after all was that which related to
the currency. Upon this subject the dem
ocrats were confident the republicans
would split and 60 to pieces. The repub-
licans were honestly divided in opinion in
regard to the best measures to be pursued,
the Western members generally favoring
imitation and the Eastern members oppos-
ing it. But in the closing hours they
passed bill which was supported by
more than two-thirds of Congress. and
received the signature of the President,
under which the country East and West
is satisfied, business is resuming its usual
activity, and the gold premium has sunk
to lower figures. Since that passed re-
publican State conventions have been held
in Vermont, Maine, Illinois and Indiana,
without any division whatever, giving no
perceptible sign of the great convulsion
which the democrats had predicted.
This leaves our opponents absolutely
without ammunition, and with the pros
pect. before them of being routed in the
Middle and Western States in the fall
elections as we'll as in New England. The
liberal republicans who left us in 1872 are
returning to the republican fold, sick
of the husks which they have shared
with the democracy. All over the country
the republicans are uniting soldly for
the conflict at the polls. We shall
rout the enemy splendidly this fall, and
in '76 we will again sweep the country
with another national republican victory.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
directions how to keep cool during hot wealth
err Never go in the sun; it heats the blood.
Food is fuel and furnishes heat; eat no food
Clothes prevent the escape of heat from the
body; wear none, or only a loose shirt and
drawers. Work heats the system; do moth
ing. Sit in draft. Reading, talking and
thinking generate heat; do neither. Battle
every hour of the day and take shower bath
between. Wear cap with ice in it. Sit
with your feet in a tub of ice water. Call
your wife or daughters when you want any
thing; it is a cool operation. Drink iced-tea,
lemonade. plain soda and such; have cool
stream running in all the while. BY observ-
ing these simple directions one can get along
without going away, unless the effect sends
him off,
