CONSUMPTlVRS, TAKE NOTICE.
Every moment Of delay makes your cure more
hopeless. and much depends upon the judicous
choice OF remedy. The amount Of testimony in
favor Of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup, rs cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons of high respectable
ity' who have been restored to health after being
pronounced incurable by physicians Of acknowl-
edged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone
mas cured many, as these evidences alone will
show, but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which DR.. schenck
provides for the purpose These additional rene
dies are Schenck's sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely of these medicines ac-
cording to directions, nr. Schenck certifes that
most any case OF consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston.
on the following Wednesdays, from to 3 O'Clock;
jan 18th a nd 9TH. Feb. 10th and 9th, and March
10th and 2ith. Consultations free; but for a

The REclPRocITY QuEsrioN.-In the U.
). Senate, Friday. Senator Eimunis pre-
sented the joint resolution Of the Yer
mont Legislature against the reciprocity
treaty, and said that while he cheerful
" obeyed the Instructions Of the Leg
stature in this instance, he thought that
an error had been made by that body in
asserting that the regulations of commerce
between our own and foreign countries
were no questions Of treaty stipulations
This position he sustained by citations from
various authorities, all going to show that
the treaty-making authority of the Presi-
dent and the Senate Is supreme, even if
supplementary legislation is necessary.
Senator Morrill, said that when opportu-
nifty offered he should show that recipro-
city treaties were under the control OF Con-
gress. which al0ne has power to regulate
commerce with foreign powers.

The Connecticut election isn't a decisive
sign that the democratic tide is yet
on the rise, though it will no doubt
be held by that party as substantial sue
cess. The democratic Governor Ingersoll is
reelected by a reduced plurality, and the
democrats probably gain two Congressman.
AS the republican platform in the state can
vass contained plank in endorsement of
the administration, IL will no doubt be
claimed by the independent opponents of
the latter as specially an administration de-
feat. But as Congressman Hawley, anti
Grant republican, has been defeated in the
Hartford district, while Congressman Stark
weather, administration republican, has
been reelected by a handsome majority in
the New London Iii strict, this sort of reason
ing doesn't seem to work out logically. In
Michigan the republicans seem to have
damned the democratic tidal wave-to some
purpose, while, on the other hand, the local
elections In Ohio afford some encouraging
