when the towards turned 10 hight. Three bullets

some ready and convenient point to be
sent for in case the ladies we're insulted
Some of the best ladies in the communi'
ties where these things have occurred,
have engaged in the work. In many
towns it has proved very efiectual tenn
porarily at least, and the question is only
whether it will be lasting which time will
prove. Rum and drunkenness had be-
come such an enormous evil, that the
people have felt this to be last resort.
The result has been many affecting scenes
and incidents, and majority of the liq'
uor dealers are credited with courteous
conduct, as they are approached by the
ladies, some having like Capt. SCOTS
coon, come down or agreed to give
up the sale of intoxicating drinks before
hey were visited.
The crusade is now attracting atten'
ion throughout the country and its fur
her progress is watched with interest,
md reports are sent to the daily papers
n all the large places.

The Next President.

A Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal has the following:
Strangers who visit the House of Rep
resentatives are struck-especially if it
is the morning hour-with the ability
with which Mr.. Speaker Blaine dis
charges his arduous duties. There he
sits, like coachman driving skin
hand team, neither mated or broken to
harness, and manages the three hun
nred men before him with marvellous
dexterity. Now dull laggard is touch
ed up, then a pertinacious spirit is sub
dued and then man who has something of
Importance to present is recognized, while
fifty fail to catch the Speakers eye. De-
casionaly pugnacious representatives let
their angry passions rise, and the whole
House becomes agitated, but without re-
straining the liberties of speech, he pours
oil upon the waters and restores order
Yesl order he will have, and he secures
itwithout the aid of the Sergeant alarms
who used to be called upon to rush into
the midst of rows carrying his mace, and
securing the most noisy. All this re
quires impartiality, or at least the ap
pearance of impartiality, on the part o
Mr.. Speaker, and the few decisions il
personal differences that he has beer
called upon to make, have been in tn,
guise of moderation rather than of au
thority.
Mr.. Baine's style of dispatching rou
6 tine business is somewhat of the auction
, eer order introduced into the Speaker
chair by Mr.. Colfax, but with no smilin
, and much dignity. When the House i
/. in Committee of the Whole, he goe
6 about to chat with the members, know
. ing every one by name and having
pleasant word for many. Were Gale
upon to name the member of the Hous
. who has the best chance for the ne,
a Presidential nomination, should say
"a " Mr.. Speaker and at least sever
e eighths of the representatives and del
IA gates would second the motion" an
,e vote "ayel" The fact that Mr.. Blaine
n. warmest friends are never heard to eve
a intimate that he would make an admi
70 able successor to Gen. Grant, strengthen
his prospects.

Letter from Chicago
Real Estate and Young Men Active.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18th, 1874.

CHICAGO, Feb. 18th, 1874.
Mr.. EDITOR: | thought your readers
would like to know how matters were
in the Garden City. A live
ly season for real estate is settling in
here and among other noticeable features
1 observe that large number of East
ern young men are coming here and in
vesting in this kind of property. Among
others, Henry G. Villas, formerly of
Bellows Fails, has just purchased through
j. S. Gould & Co., agents of L. P. Hill
lard, 100 feet by 125, corner of Martin
and Hazel streets ON which he has al
ready been offered quite an advance. II
young men wish to get rich, they can dc
no better than to buy real estate in Chi
cago or her beautiful and thriving sub
urbs. Small payments down and tbs
balance monthly or quarterly, will in {
short time secure an independent forum,
if investments are judiciously made
There never was greater activity in tn,
real estate business than there will b
J the ensuing season, and the time is au
spicious for those who desire to make
good start in worldly possessions to max
) their investments. c. W.

A resolution was adopted by the House
last week which has considerable signi6-
canoe, especially as bearing upon the
granger question. 1t was offered by
John j. Smith of Ohio, and declares the
power of Congress to regulate and pro-
tect commerce between the States from
unjust tolls and on the part of railroads.
1t was adopted by a vote of yeas, ITO,
nays, ga. The resolution contains moth
ing beyond what the courts have already
established, and what is plainly stated
in the Sth section Of the constitution Of
the United States. The opposition vote
came from the democrats who very nat
urally thought it conficted with thei
ideas of State rights. The democrats
therefore, have thus early placed them
selves on the record in hostility to tb
Changers, an incident which will no
work at all to their advantage.

Massachusetts,, through her present
legislature, has resinded a resolution of
censure on Charles Sumner, passed by
the legislature of 1872, relative to Mr..
Summers course in his proposition to
strike the names of Union victories from
army flags, lest it should wound the
feelings of the late rebels. The resolu-
ton of the legislature of 1872, may have
been uncalled for and very likely was,
but the legislature of 1873, refused to
take any action about it. while the one of
this year have expressed their disapprov-
al of it though we don't see how they
have wiped out anything. Each legis-
lature have expressed their opinion and
that is about all.

The Senate do not indicate that they
wish to repeal the bankrupt law, as the
House has, and has so amended 1t, that
it is believed it will be more acceptable
to the country. This work has been
done largely by Senator Edmunds OF
this state. Among other things the court
fees have been reduced one half. Here
tofore it has cost fair fortune to 60 in

large estate, it was equally sure of being
used up at the end of the suit.

Mr.. Dawes, republican, of Mass. made
speech in the House last week, ON the
financial condition of the country, in
which he is said to have hit fore and aft
regardless of party. 1t appears to have
excited considerable comment in some
republican quarters, who think he went
further than was demanded, or that the
facts would bear out. We have not yet
read the speech for want of time, but in
these days of jobs, frequent defalcations
and rascalities in "high places" we dc
not see how he could have easily hi
amiss.

CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD.

The circulation of the blood is the life Of the body
and its stoppage death. We are healthy when the
its free course is the commencement OF disease
Blood is the life of the flesh" Can we expect TO
enjoy good health when BAD or corrupt humors cir
culate with the blood causing pain and disease and
these humors being deposited through the entire
body, produce pimples, eruptions, ulcers indiges-
ton. costiyeness headache, neuralgia, rheumatism
and numerous other complaints? No disease can be
in the body without first being generated in the
blood; and no disease can possibly be in the body if
the blood is pure. 1t is Of great to know
what medicine will purify and renovate the blood,
eradicate the disease, vitality, mentally and
physically, and instil fresh vigor into all the vital
functions of the body. This medicine is the Vege-
tine, the great blood purifier.
1t extends its influence into every part of the hui
man organism, commencing with its foundation I;

The Homicide at Windsor.

The murderous act that deprived Will
liam A. Donoghue of life, last week, ID
the third instance of murder thus far re.
corded in the history of Windsor. The
first took place in 1918, at the State
Prison, Mr.. Hulett, an officer of the Pris
on, being killed by convict named
Godfrey, who was afterwards executed in
presence OF an immense crowd of people
at Woodstock. The second took place
on the premises of the late Major John
Pettis, one mile north of the village, in
June, 1916. A little colored child was
brutally beaten to death by an Irishman
who Immediately fled to the Connecticut
and, in attempting to cross into New
Hampshire, was drowned-his body be-
ing found sometime afterward near
Weathersfeld Bow. Neither of these
crimes, however produced more painful
sensations than that which shocked the
people of the town, last week, wherein
an industrious, kind-hearted neighbour
distinguished for his readiness to assist
those in trouble, is brought under suspi.
cion, by evidence of dreadful force, Of
the high crime of striking murderous
blow upon neighbor, by which death
has ensued to a Woodworking brother
farmer, who was born and bred Eve be
lieve) in the same school district and who
lived on an adjoining farm. 1t appeared
in evidence that both of these men were
measurably under the influence of strong
drink, when they went up the bill togeth-
er on that Inflated day. Each had been
accustomed for years to its use. Both
had struggled hard to support their fam
lilies both were going home after anoth-
er days toll. A few rods beyond the ia
tai spot of the fall of Donoghue, they
we're to separate again, each for the sight
of bis wife and children.
Alas what change for those two
homes. A dead husband aud father goes
to the one, and a suspected, and soon to
be arrested, husband and father goes to
the other.
And what was the exciting agent, if
not the real cause, of that woful result !?
PROFESSIONALLY, intoxicating liquor. OF
the guilt or innocence of the arrested
man, it does not now behoove US to re-
mark. Our readers have in this issue of
our paper the legal evidence thus far
given. Of the duty of intelligent men
and women in regard to strong drink,
the lesson is plain Windsor Journal.
The Woodstock Post has the following !:
Mr.. james Vim, charged with the
Windsor murder, is in Jail here, although
we hear there is some effort being made
to effect his release on bail. The evil
dence, as given in another place, looks
rather badly for him, but he has we be-
lieve the sympathy of all who know any
thing OF the circumstances. he Is rep
resented to be man of good repute, and
good neighbor, although somewhat
quick tempered. His version of the al
fair, as we understand, is that Donoghue
was on his sled in front of him and that
he suddenly disappeared from his place.
but that be (Winn) passed him lying in
the road as described by young Donog
hue, and surprising him to be drunk
gave him no special attention, thinking
he would soon come along. The theory
is that he fell off in front of his sled and
killed by the fall, or by kick from an
OK"
