From the Station Agent at So. Royalston, Mass
Gentlemen-Although unsolicited
by you, | cannot refrain from adding
my testimony to the many already
given in fuvor Of yeur Wistar's Bal
sam Of Wild Cherry.
In the spring of 1858, was most
severely afflicted with hard, dry
cough, with its usual accompaniment
OF night sweats, completely prostrat-
ing my nervous system, and produc
ing such a debilitated state Of health
that. after ,rying medical aid to no
purpose, | had given up all hopes of
:ver recovering, as had also my friends.
AT this stage of matters l was pre-
vailed upon, through the influence Of
a neighbor, to try Wistars Balsam,
though with no belief whatever in its
truly wonderful curative properties
and before using two bottles the effect
was almost magical. My cough en-
tirely left me, the night sweats desert,
ed me, hope once more elated my de.
pressed spirits, and soon | had attained
my wonted strength and vigor.
Thus has this Balsam, as has Otter
been remarked by persons conversaEt
with the above facts in this vicinity
literally snatched me from the yawn
ing grave. You are at liberty to USE
this for the benefit of the afflicted
Very respectfully yours,
BENZ. WHEELER.

Hendricks on Williams.

Governor Hendricks in response to
serenade at indianapolis last week, said
"MY FELLOW CITIZENS: We have just
closed what l regard as the greatest con-
troversy almost ever had in the world
Considering the number Of persons inter-
ested within our own State in this con-
test; considering the interest that is felt
in every State of the Union as to the re-
suit of the vote; considering the number
of men that have participated in the field,
and considering the grandeur of the result
itself, I consider it unsurpassed in the
political strifes and contests of the world.
believe that we have occasion to be sat
istied, to be gratiied at the election made
of my successor in the office of Governor.
/ believe that Mr.. Williams will prove to
be an efficient and most excellent officer
for the people of Indiana. He has not had
some of the advantages that some other
of the public men Of the State Of Indiana
have enjoyed, but, practically. he is well
informed in regard to the affairs OF the
State for many years. believe for twenty
wears Mr.. Williams has been identified
with the legislation Of this State, and
during those twenty years Mr. Williams
has said much; he has voted ottea; hs
has introduced many bills, and, my
countrymen, do you recollect OF single
objection during the heated contest that
has been made to any word he uttered. to
any vote he gave, or to any bill he intro
duced during the twenty years MIR.
Williams has that sort Of information that
will be benefit to the State of Indiana,
and am glad to recognize in an honest
man my own successor My fellow citi-
zens, the work does not stop Tonight
1t goes on yet for another month. L
believe we follow the leadership Of a
chieftain worthy to be followed. We fol-
low man who has shown in his past
record that he is true refOrmer be-
lieve that Governor Tilden is worthy Of
your support and Of mine. There is moth
ing in the history Of the Democracy OF
Indiana ofwhich / am prouder than this
fact. Governor Tilden was not the first
choice of the Indiana Democracy for the
Presidency. But when, in the National Con-
vcntion, the Democracy Of every section
united upon him as the best and most
available candidate, then the Indiana
Democracy looked the question squarely
in the face, and they came up together,
shoulder to shoulder, step to step, and
they have, under his leadership, so far as
it was felt in the State contest, they have
made the most sublime, determined and
grand contest for the right that has ever
been made, in my opinion, in the politics
of the world. Let US 60 on, and make
November in Indiana even more glorious
than October is. Let them know in every
section of the Union that the Indiana
Democracy, while they fight the State
battle with gallantry and determination
never seen before, let them know that in
the National contest Indiana will present
more than 100000 voters in support of the
National platform of the Democratic
party"

Windsor.

Windsor.
There is much excitement in this
locality about the recent horrid GRAY
lin tragedy at Weathersfeld. Many
of our citizens have visited the place
where the alleged crimes of Gravln
were committed. The examinations
we're before r. B. Vim, Esq, our
trial justice, at Ascutueyv'lIe.
The repairs now being thorough
ly made on the Cornish (TolD Bridge,
are SO near completed that public
travel thereon will be allowed about the
middle of the present week, it is
thought.
The Catholics of Windsor and
vicinity, have purchased fine plot of
ground for Cemetery, of Alfred
Hall, Esq, on the Brook road leading
to Brownsville, just north of the So
called Waits ledge. The ground
lately occupied by them for this pur
pose is soon to be abandoned Their
new Cemetery lot will be appropriate
ly prepared and decorated for the
solemn use which it is soon to be
dedicated.
Senator Justin S. Morrill, was to
address the Hayes e. Wheeler Club of
this place, at the Town Hall on Tues
day evening of the present week. A
dull, prosy orator will hardly revive
the doping spirits of the Republicans
in this section. Morrill's big mind (?)
and great financial idea (D cannot but
fail to attract attention everywhere
Morril's High Tariffs and other
financial projects are somewhat the
cause, it is thought, ofthe present sad
depression of business throughout the
country. Our worthy legislator, like
his party, works for measures that
will make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. Or in other words he labors
for the benefit of the wealthy GLASS;
Banks, Railroads, and other corpora
tons.
The affairs of the State Prison
here are to undergo, we understand,
a thorough investigation by the Leg
islature now in session. The discipline
of the institution was never better OF
more humane nor its business affairs
in all respects, more economically con
Quoted than they have been for two
years past under the able Superintend
ency of John F. Bailey, Esq. This
"muss" is only PICKED up by his i'm
mediate predecessor and his keeper in
order to regain their former offic'a
position in the institution.

DIR. S. W. SMYTH. Dear Sir 1T is
about six years since l employed you to
treat me for Chronic Catarrh. which at
that time had troubled me for about four
years. Your treatment removed the dis
ease so that for the past five years have
had no return of it, and do not hesitate to
say that YOU have effected in my case Il
complete cure. cannot too highly rec
ommend your careful and skilltul treat
ment. 1t has the double merit OF being
entirely satisfactory while the treatment
continues, and is permanent and lasting
in its results afterwards.
