How JEWELL CAME TO LEAVE THE

of the Hartford Times says this was the
way ii came about: Mr.. Jewell, in round

bune, written by JEWELS friend, Ike
Bromley, headed Grant Reinforcing Til
den.' 1t referred to the removal Of Bris
tow from the Cabinet. Mr.. Jewell said 10
the President that he thought that the act
did the party good deal Of harm. The re-
moval Of Yaryan followed shortly after
Jewell, while talking 10 the President Mon
day, said, in a iucular way: You have
been at it again, and, Mr.. President, don't
you think you have gone too far in the

and, after awhile turning TO Jewell, said {:
Il would rather have your resignation than

friend and neighbor of Gov. Hayes, at
Columbus, writes as follows: "Governor
Hayes is man of strong character. lie
acts with great prudence and yet with res
dilute courage. He is faithful always TO his
friends, and yet he has always escaped the
weakness of turning public interests into
the narrow channel of personal advantage.
He is courteous, he is the soul of honor, in
tegrity and justice, remarkably free from
all oslentation and self-assertion. He Is a
man of ripe professional culture. He is a
dlligent reader. He has excellent common
sense on all subjects. He is a sound man
TO the core in every respect. One year ago
the Republican party of Ohio, driven to
the wall and declining, forced him, as the
only man who could win victory for the
party, to accept the nomination for Govern
or. How nobly the campaign was carried
forward and won the whole country re-
members"

TIE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE

THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
The Republican Stale Committee met in
full at Montpelier, last week, and organ
lied by re-electing the old officers, viz:
Geo. w. Grandey Chairman, and Geo.
Nichols Secretary, these two gentlemen,
with Gen. Thomas, forming the Executive
Committee. Numerous letters from prom
inent Republicans, in and out of the State,
were read, urging the great importance OF
having a full vote cast at the September
election, on account of the great influence
it would have on other States, There was
every indication that the Greeley men OF
~ would, this fall, vote the Republican
ticket, with not few accessions from in
telligent and thoughtful Democrats, who
plainly see the financial ruin of the coun-
try that would result from the success OF
the "rag- money platform" party. The
Committee depend for success upon the ac-
tive, hearty cooperation Of the several
county, town and local committees. 1t is
expected that the several Congressional
conventions will be made grand mass
meetings, with the best speakers in attend
ance. Bristow, Harlan, Geo. Wm. Curtis,
William A. Wheeler, James A. Briggs, Col.
Cannon, Gems. Woodlord, Hartman, Haw-
ley, and others, are expected TO speak in
the State during the canvass.

quilting party at which the ladies were in
vited to be present in the afternoon and the
gentlemen in the evening Among the lat
ter was Rutherford Hayes. OF course,
when the evenings amusement had ended
the gentlemen were expected to escort the
ladies home. Mr.. Hayes being young
man of good character and position, was
very desirable escort for the ladies. But
the most expectant ladies for his company
home were doomed to be disappointed, for
he made no choice among the anxious ones,
but selected very respectable, quiet APP
pearing young lady, who had not the least
thought Of receiving an invitation from
him. The night was very dark. 1t was
about a mile TO the lady's home. When
Mr.. Hayes and his lady left the company
amidst the frowns of the disappointed, they
passed through the east door, supposing
they could walk directly to the road. Much
to their surprise, after walking few feet,
they stepped directly of a wharling three
or four feet high and fell plump into a mud
hole where the family were accustomed TO
throw waste water. Neither of them were
hurt, but the lady's white dress was very
much soiled. Mr.. Hayes was exceedingly
EN- barrassed for fear that Miss Farr, for
that was the young lady's rame, would
think he had Numbered on purpose but
he apologized for their mshap and assured
Miss Farr that he was entirely ignorant of
the situation and supposed the path led di-
rectly to the road. Fortunately no one had
observed them, and they reached home
wilhour further misfortune. NJ.

Died in Putney, July s, David Allen,
NJ. D., in his eightieth year. He was born
in Heath, Mass, August y, 1896. In early
life he turned his attention TO the medical
profession, and after pursuing regular
course of study, was in due form admitted
to pract ice. lie commenced business in
Westminster West. In few years lie re-
moved to Putney. Remaining here some
twelve years, he went to Belchertown,
Mass, and followed his profession about
ten years. He at length returned 10 Put
ney, and continued to practice as long as
health permitted. In all these places DIR.
Allen was esteemed As well read physi-
clan, discriminating in his knowledge OF
diseases, and judicious in administering
remedies. lie might, indeed, be called a
prompt, reliable, and successful practition-
er and he is now remembered as such by
many who survive him. But his useful
ness was not confined to his professional
life. He was the faithful and devoted
Christian, as well as the able physician.
He early embraced religion, the duties OF
which to Linn were not mere outward
form. To those who knew him intimately,
it was evident that re entered into the
spirit md vitality of them. He loved the
house Of God, and his soul Toasted upon
the sincere milk OF the word. He loved
the social meeting, and there his voice was
Omen heard mingling in sweet harmony
with those of fellow worshippers. OF him
it may he truly said, the interests of religion
lay near his heart. Its promises we're hi;
support as health declined, and we believe
he is now reaping the reward OF the faith

FAILURES FOR THE LAST SIX MONTH,

FAILURES FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.
The circular of Dun, Barlow d Co., for
the second quarter Of the year shows that
the amount of failures in the United States
during the three months was S43, 900, 900,
compared with $33, 900 900 for the like pc
riod of 1875. The amount for the first half
Of the year is stated at s107 200, 600, against
SIC, 900, 900 for the first six months of last
year. This is very unsatisfactory exhibit,
but it is observed that there is a marked de-
cline in the number of failures for the Sec
ond quarted of the current year. In other
words, the number of failures in the last
three months is less by one thousand than
in the preceding three months Of this year.
while the liabilities show a decline of S2l,
100000, both items showing an improve
ment of over 40 per cent. Happily, the va
ration is in the right direction.

president GRANT "oUT OF SORTS
There are good reasons for believing that
the President was considerably disgruntled
by Gov. Hayes's letter OF acceptance. He
said TO a very respectable citizen of Ohio,
who had an audience with him on Thurs
day, that he regarded Governor Hayes's
letter as in extremely bad taste, and
thou ght that ii reflected upon the present
admnistr ration. The President further said
to this ge ntleman that he had hoped the
time would come when the American peo-
pie would be permitted 10 elect President
for as long time as they chose. The in
ference lett upon this gentlemaus mind
was very strong that the President was
grievously annoyed that no consideration
whatever had been paid to the question of
a thi rd term. The Presidents entire man
ner indicated complete dissatisfaction with
the political situation, and some personal
anger. 1t is TO he hoped that he will re-
turn from Deer Park in a more amiable
mood, and remember that when he wrote
his letter of May %, 1865, accepting the Re
publican nomination, he did not in any
way allude to the administration of Andy
Johns on" Perley'S' despatch TO Boston

The insincerity and double-facedness of
the democratic ticket is strikingly illus
trated by the fact that Tilden and Hen
bricks found themselves obliged to meet
each other for lengthy conference at Sar-
atoGa, last week, before they could arrange
what to say in their letters of acceptance so
as not to contradict and stultify each other.
1t won't do for Tilden to come out too
strong for hard money, for fear of soaring
the Hendricks wing; nor for Hendricks to
express his soft-mOney sentiments for fear
of terrifying the hard-money wing. As a
consequence both have got to be insincere
in their letters of acceptance.

Your Townshend correspondent in your
paper OF July l4th says: 1.-TWO from this
town have visited the Centennial; one of
them was arrested for tramp, the other
came home insane" II is well known in
this and other towns that the first part of
the above refers to myself There is not
one particle of truth in the first part of the
state ment. l leit home for Philadelphia
Monday, June II, walking to Jamaica 10
take the stage, as there was no Public con-
veyance 10 Jamaica in the morning. On
my way met Sheriff Stone who had been
to Jamaica; he told me young Louter had
brok Ell Jail, gave me a written description
of him to take with me. This is all there
is TO the statement of your correspondent
which relates to me.
The young man who came back insane
was undoubtedly partially so before he went
there, as he had been in tho Utica asylum
before he came here, early in the spring !;
and my son, who is now living there, and
directed him TO lodgings, informed me that
he left suddenly the next day after he came,
SO he did not visit the Centennial.
Now il your correspondent makes such
mlsstatements We shall have to doubt the
correctness Of all his items. At any rate,
If he makes any statements about me
hope he will be sure they are true, for I
had rather he would have boOied me in the
street than made the statement he did.

THE HEATED TERM.-For four weeks past
the average heat has been noticeably OK
cessiye. Part Of the time the average was
higher than at any other time during the
past ten years-lS72 coming next, and 1865
being third. In all the principal cities east
of the Rocky Mountains the thermometer
reached 1909 or over nearly every day, in
the shade, and 1909 to 1902 in the sun. The
natural consequences have followed. Large
numbers of sunstrokes are daily reported
and larger proportion than usual have
proved fatal. This has been the case in
Toronto as well as in Baltimore, latitude
seeming TO make little difference. New
York reported l54 cases in three days, and
there was a daily average of 80 TO so sun
strokes in that city. The seaside resorts
suffered equally with interior cities. At
some points on the Hudson River the mer-
curry reached ll2o in the shade on some
days, the same figure being reached at Nor
folk, Va. For the first time in the history
of Washington, building operations were
discontinued, owing to the extreme heat.
The death rate in all cities ranges high, es-
pecially among children. One undertaken
in Brooklyn, out OF $50, received orders for
l6 children's collins in one day, last week.
A brigade OF the New Jersey National
Guard, in camp near Trenton, were nearly
