One thing is nov thoroughly established. Never since man suffered and human agencies alleviated pain has there been any thing which went far as pain snnihiator and curative agent the Centaur Liniments. These Liniments have within the past year cured more cases of RLeumatism: Neuralgia stfF-jonts. acsked Bresats, swellings. Poisonoua Bses Rnrns Lame Annala. etc. etc.. than all other remedies cembipsd. As the name of Centaur implies half horse half man, the csntaur Linments are for man and beast. But not the game Linimsnt. The wiise Id.i-..oat Yellow for horses and animals. Herein this Lnn.ent differs from all other remedies. although the ingredients alike in each. They contain the ~eknow Witch Ha- zsl, Arnica, Carboiie. Rock oil, Msntha and other powerful ingredients.

NORTH CORNWALL. Sept, Sd, 1877.
 MR. EprroR.-The Concert at Cornwall last Friday evening was cordially pro- nounced a success. The snm of twenty dollars was realized for the West Corn wall Chapel Fund, besides thirty dollars paid towards the debt on the organ be longing to the choir which furnished the Chornses of the occasion. @ .aq
 The New Preston Choir. led by MT. Coggswell. selected with excellent taste and rendered with enthusiasm and good effect. some of the choicest of the Jubi- lee Songs. New Preston is to be congrat- ulated upon the possession of such 2 fine choir. r..,.,.-..,-:
 Miss Stoddard, Mszzo Soprano from Bro0kiyn, and Miss Balmore. of New York City, a charming eontralto, by their .selos, xfurnishAd |. IT s@at 9.noss pleasing fs-H-1tfe of the programme They each ia. vored the audience with classic music, rendered with g simplicity yet power which showed their thorough cultivation, and were both encored: They will be welcome if they ever come again. Their services were freely given because of the object. and were thoroughly appreciated.
 A good feature of variety was given to the concert by the reading of 'Lizzie Auld" (Mrs. Stsnton) which proved, as the bills prophesied, "an entertainment in it. self" ''The Dodge Club abroad by Bungay, showed her forte to great ad- vantage. Mrs. 8 would read Dickens ad- mirably. Her voice is pure. flexible, strong; her imitation capital. her person. ation, distinct and vivid. She did not honor the taste of her audience in her selections as much as the soloists did, still her selections sho~ed her to have decided power iu the humorous parts, to take the popular heart. a .t.-s-.. s
 The suocess of the concert is largely due to the skill and energy of Mir. Mills lately of the Oberlin Conserv- atory, who had the labor of planning and perfecting the programme, andy whose or- gan Voluntaries were heartily appreciated. We certainly feel indebted to him for the pleasure of the concert, and the op- of killing two birds with one stone. fofr...... .. C.N F.

When the Counting Begins.

1t appears that when the joint session
meets in February to count the electoral
votes, all the certificates will have to be
opened before the counting begins. This
fact was made clear by Senator Wallace
Of Pennsylvania, in very able and lucid
speech on the 9Th. The words of the con-
stitution bearing on this point are: 1.-The
president Of the senate shall, in presence
of the senate and house of representatives,
open all the certificates, and the votes
shall then be counted" The counting is
not to begin till all the certificates are
opened. 1t will not be allowable to open
the certificates from Maine and New
Hampshire, and count the votes of these
states, while the certificates from the
other states remain unopened. Every
certificate and every paper purporting to
be certificate must be opened and placed
before the joint session before a single
vote is counted-so that the joint session
may not proceed in darkness in performing
it's duty.
1t follows from this that all disputes
growing out of the certificates must be
settled before the counting begins; the
joint session must first determine what
votes from all the contested states
Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina Eand
Oregon, are to be counted; it must clear
the fable of eyervthiDo exceDt the votes
recognized as lawful and countable-anC
then. not till then, proceed to do tn,
counting. The counting, therefore, is al
unimportant and perfunctory matter; i
may be done by the tellers, or by tht
president of the senate, or by an exper
brought in for the purpose. 1t is the de
Gliding what are to be counted that is tn
point of real Importance. This de
termined, all that follows will be easy an,
simple enough.

Let's Reflect Mayor Butler.

The Union intimated, the other day.
something about an embryo candidate for
mayor whom THE ARGUS had in training,
and this morning it kindly maps out for us
the plan of city election campaign which
it thinks we shall pursue. THE ARGUS
has no embriotic candidate, and it desires
to avoid either a political or an exciting
city election campaign. IT has. for several
years, urged the people, in their city cleo
tons, to pay more attention to their pecuni-
airy and local interests than to the political
complexion of ambitious candidates;
while the Union and its clique
have always insisted on party eau
cusses and party candidates. THE ARGUS
now suggests the hope that Mayor Butler
will be reelected without opposition-that
he will be the candidate of the people
irrespective of party. If he will consent
to serve the people another year in that
capacity, we doubt not that he would be
reelected without an opponent.

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertiOn, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator, The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the

- From the very Jealous manner in which the

purpose Of repudiating portion of the city debt,
1t looks though it had contract; what per cent

dated is neighbor to get If the contract is full
hIled;" We say we might make such a reIort, but
we will not.-UHsOR.
Well, suppose you were to h.akeisuch a
retort, will you please tell us who would be
enough interested in the matter to pay us
We can very we'll conceive howIa man who
holds an illegal debt against the city might
be willing to pay something to secure it,
but inasmuch as THE ARGUS works in the
interest of all the people, irrespective o.
party, in trying TO ascertain whether any
portion of the debt is illegal, and object;
to paying only what the constitution of thi.
state declares shall not be tpaid, we are il
the dark as to who will pay,us. No, no.
there's no chance for any pay On our side
and the consciousness of having done oul
duty is all the pay we need.

THE ARGUS is paving the way for municipal
campaign, the main issue of which shall be de-
sire to repudiate portion of the just obligations
OF the city, to have an injunction to restrain the
use of money for necessary and judicious city ex-
pendltures; and an appeal to taxpayers not to
pay their dues on the ground that they are
illegal"
If the Union will change the word
Just" to legal it would be nearer the
truth. The ARGUS sees no way to stop
the contraction of illegal Indebtedness ex-
cept for the people to stand on their con-
stitutional rights. When aldermen have
not the courage to refuse to expend money
which is not in the treasury, and when
mayors have not the courage to veto APP
preparations they know are illegal, it is
time then for the oppressed taxpayers &c
appeal to the courts for protection, as the
| law provides.
