Mr.. EDITOR: l have been spending
Il part of my vacation in your county,
and with your permission will use your
columns for few words which will be
of local interest to yO ur readers, as well
as to some others, who may accidently
see this communication. Every town in
your county has objects of interest, more
or less, certainly to the few if not to the
many. There is, however, no town in
your county, if there is in the State where
the lover of nature can feast his eyes,
and fill his soul, as in the village of
Newbury. 1t is u quiet unpretending
country village, containing fine hotel
with reasonable charges for board. Two
churches, several stores, livery stable,
schools and several fine residences. The
citizens certainly are second to non e in
the United States. 1t is situated in the
valley of the Connecticut, and from the
hill ,Montebello commands magnificent
view of the White Mountain range. The
proprietor of Montebello is the owner of
some valuable mineral springs, one of
which is partially developed, and is call
ed Montebello Sulphur and Iron Spring.
Already large numbers have been bene-
fitted by the use of these waters, and sew
eral entirely cured. 1 am told that a
physician in Newburyport, Mass, after
bathing and drinking this water for four
weeks was cured of an obstinate erup-
ton Of the skin, probably of q scrofu-
lous nature, also few weeks use of the
water removed, and entirely cured a
large protuberance which much troubled
a lady from Boston, which came upon
the neck and remained there for years,
and which defied the best medical skill
in Boston to remove. l might go on and
fill columns Of your paper, but l will
forbear for the present 1t is a great
wonder TO me why some of your capitol
lists have not purchased this property
and developed it, and made u fortune.
From what l know and can learn, this
is the most valuable mineral spring in
the United States, Saratoga not excepted.
| know that if your poor scribler had
ample means to develope this spring
property fully, Monticello would have
IL new own er before Hon. Horace Fair
banks is elected Governor of your grand
old Green Mountain State. RUSH.

The Monticello Ladies' Institute.

This school closed its third year on
June 23d. after an examination of two
days. The exercises connected with tho
occasion We're unusually interesting.
and gave new proof of the superior In
instruction which the pupils of this in
stitutiQn receive. In all the recitations
1t was apparent that nothing was prepar-
ed for displey, but that tho pupils rather.
were telling what they actually knew OF
the various branches they had pursued.
All seemed ready to speak in their own
language, of every topic In their studies,
and that too with perfect accuracy.
This was especially noticeable in his
tory. A dozen or more young misses in
the history Of the United States, show
I'd the utmost familiarity, not only with
the text book, but with the entire sub
ject, giving dates correctly, and speak
ing readily of the causes and re-
suits of prominent evets.
A most interesting feature OF the eX-
animation, was class in sacred and an
cient history, under Miss Tenney's in
struction. The knowledge of Bible facts,
and events cotemporaneous with them,
which the young ladies OF this class dis
played was truly wonderful.
The classes in French, Algebra, Arith-
metic and Chemistry all deserve special
mention. Every one was highly enter
tanned with the exercises of the elocu-
ton and gymnastic classes. Evidently
the very best instruction has been given
in these important departments. The
exercises We're interspersed with the
choicest music, vocal and instrumental.
under Miss Clark's superior management
The fine solos and Duets by Misses
Clement and Buxton, and the admirable
piano performance of Miss Georgia Har-
rison would furnish most pleasing en-
tainment for all lovers Of the higher Or
der of music.
1t ought to be remembered by all the
people in this part of the Connecticut
Valley that no school in this vicinity af-
fords such superior facilities for mental
and moral culture, as this.
In the boarding department the young
ladies are under Miss Tenney's immedi-
ate care, and no pains are spared to give
them pleasant Christian home. Five
teachers are constantly engaged with the
various classes, and every pupil is re-
CURED to master the studies pursued.
The people in Newbury may justly be
proud Of having such school in their
midst, and if they and the citizens of
all adjoining towns are wise they will
give it liberal patronage. S.

The challenge will be accepted
with all the more readiness that in
the st. Louis nomination the issues
of the campaign are clearly detin ell.
The Republican renegades whom
Gov. Tilden has attached to his for.
tunes will not alter the character OF
his candidacy. 1t is that of thor.
ough.going Democrat, with record
of treacherOus obstruction in the
crisis of the nations destinies and
of weak temporizing with great
questions Of public policy during
the era of governmental reconstruc-
ton. With a fortune gathered from
the spoils Of bankrupt railroads and
a reputation gained by a hating
and half-hearted struggle on behalf
of honest government, Mr.. Tilden is
a very fair representative Of the
best that his party can offer in re,
Spouse to the popular demand for
reform, and the utmost it can do In
the line Of constructive statesman
ship. Placed on platform as wordy
as his own speeches and as full of
shifts and evasions as his own pub
lie life, he presents as accurate a
type of the Jesuitical and time serv.
ing policy of modern Democracy as
that honest and sturdy public ser

identified neither with the men who
have betrayed the trust which the
party confded in them, nor with the
scandals which have marked the re-
cent history of all sections Of Amer
lean politics. Neither of them has
excited violent animosities, and both
of them have done such service to
the Union and to their party as will
secure for them the warmest sup,
port of Republicans of all shades
of opinion.

A healthy liver secrets each day about
two and half pounds OF bile. which con.

becomes torpid or congcsted. II 'iails To
eliminate this vast amount oi noXious

The brain, which is the great electrical

CAIRO As 4 MAACrACTCRIyG
CENTRE.

In his speeches at the council chamber,
VIM. j. sykes dwelt at length upon the
advantages OF Cairo a. place for manu-
featuring establishments of various kinds,
particularly of iron. He drew compar-
ison between Chattanooga. Tenn. and
Cairo, and showed that Cairo possessed
even more advantages than Chattanooga.
which Is now becoming famous for its
manufacture OF railroad iron. The
voting population of Chattanooga was
increased from zoos to lsi2 within the
last four years or, in other words, it has
nearly doubled even in these times Of de-
preston.
We were not able to give Mr.. sykes
remarks in full but were compelled to
give only synopsis, but even tins made
clear the manufacturing advantages of
Cairo. Among other things. he said OF
Cairo:
Cairo. situated at the junction of the
two great rivers, the Ohio and the Mis-
sissippi. possesses advantages which few
cities enjoy, both for commercial and
manufacturing purposes. Not only are
you connected by water with all parts of
the West, but You have railroad commu-
nicaiion in every direction save one, that
is the southcast-and that this Cairo and
Tennessee River railroad IL intended to
supply. On the North you have the
magnificent grain fields of Illinois.
Within short distance in that way are
inexhaustible mines Of the.finest coal, well
suited to manufacturing purposes. On
the south and southeast are the grain, to.
bacco and cotton fields of Kentucky and
Tennessee. On the line of the proposed
Cairo and Tennessee River railroad,
within one hundred and forty miles Of
Cairo, are banks" as they are called,
OF iron ore, inferior to none on this con-
tinent, from which orc may be delivered
in Cairo at three dollars ton. With all
these advantages, cheap provisions, cheap
coal and cheap iron ore: with river and
railroad transportation unsurpassed,
what Is to prevent Cairo from becoming
great manufacturing city,"
Is not every word this true: Should
not these facts make an impression upon
those seeking investment for capital .
What advantage, let W. ask, does any
place have over caro- Tor the establish
Inent Of factories. We not only enjoy
the advantages mentioned by Mr.. Sykes,
but we have excellent health, and arc
equally removed from the extremes OF
northern cold or southern heat. Pork
can be saved here a well as in Chicago
Cincinnati OF st. Louis.
II is important that our advantages IL
this respect should be made known an,
