GBAND DEMOCRATIC Pow-wow IN THE
SEVENTH WARD.-Last evening about 7
o'clock the Wheeling City band marched
to the Island and took up position in
front OF the Reilly bnilding, on Zane
street. After n few patriotic airs had
been rendered in good style, the Demo
cracy began to assemble in the building,
which is the headquarters Of the
Tilden and Hendricks club Of the Seventh
Ward, and by half-past s o'clock there
was an audience Of nearly fifty people,
many of them idle and disin,erested
spectators who stood around to enjoy the
scene. Nobody seemed to know what was
wanted or what TO do. The immense
throng was good natufed, and one looked
in vain for hollow famine and gaunt star
walton. Finally the monotony was re-
lieyed bya call for somebody to make a
speech, whereupon Col. Chambers was
called 10 the chair and the meeting" was
open.
Suddenly there was sensation. Ross
Alexander, Of Bridgeport, approached.
He came unheralded. '"''

Bleeding at the Lungs,

PUTNAM, Conn, March 20, 1869.
Gentlemen-l avail myself of this opportunity
to say word in behalf Of DIR. Wistar's Bssam OF
Wild Cherry, which have made use of in nv
family for several years, ana always with the most
beneficial results. My wife being of delicate
habits, has always been troubled with hard, dry,
hacking cough, whenever taking little cold, and
has employed various specifics without obtaining
any relief, until prevailed upon to test the virtues
OF Wistars Balsam, the effect of which has been
truly astonishing.
More than year since young man belonging
IN this place was taken with bleeding at the lungs,
In connection with most severe cough, and was
finally given over to die by orr best physicians,
and 1t was evident 10 all that CONSUMPTION was
claiming him as victim. Learning these facts.
my wife sent him bottle of the Baisam, which he
took, and, in due time, to the great astonishment
OF his friends was at his accustomed occupation.
snatched, as it were, from the very jaws of death.
In many other cases we have administered the
Balsam to the consumptive, and always with the
best of success. These statements are simple
facts, which can be vouched for at any time by
calling on me at my store.
remain, yours truly, JOHN B. DARLING.

Maine Day at the Centennial.

The day set ap art for Maine in the Great Cen
tennal Exhibition was Saturday Nov. 4th Pub
lie exercises were held in the judges Hail. on the
Exhibition grounds, at II o'clock A. NJ.
Joshua Nye of Augusta, United States Centen-
NAL Commissioner for Maine, presided, and intro
duced TO the audience the orator of the day, Gen.
Joshua l.. Chamberlain, l.. l.. d. President of
Bowdoin College. A most eloquent and interest
ing address was delivered on Maine, her resourc-
es, industries, and progress. The address was lis
tened to with deep Interest by all present. not on
ly til ose of Maine, but by ladies and gentlemen
from all parts of the country. New ground was
taken in regard to our indie pendent position pre-
vous to our separation from Massachusetts.
"Maine Is not the child Of Massachusetts," In
short the address was not only eloquent, but high
ly instructive, and should be published and placed
within the reach of all Maine people. 1t would
be just the thing for a lyceum lecture, and the
managers of lyceums throughout the State can
do no better thing for the people than to secure
its delivery, far as may be- before their associ-
atoms during the coming season. twill be print
ed in time by the Centennial Commission, and 60
down to future generations an eloquent Grafton,
Of ripe scholar and patriotic statesman. All
were exceedingly disappointed on account Of the
absence Of our noble Governor. who, on account
Of business engagements, was unable to be pres
ent. Com.
