1t is fearful to think that during
the short space OLA year, there w-rs
over $49,000,000 woEsh Of properly
destroyed in the United States, by the
explosion ofkerosone or coal-oil lamps;
yet the destruction of properly is moth
ing compared to the loss of life. No
less than 900 men woman and child
ren, came to an untimely end during
the past year by the explosion of lamps,
to say nothing of those persons who,
after terrible suferings have at last
recovered, but were disfgured for
life.
No wonder then that we say
Good News to Every Family" when
Professor Thompson's Non-Explosive
Lamp Powder is guaranteed to render
the worst kerosene as safe as a COM
mon candle and prevents the breaking
and smoking of lamp chimneys.
In a few days the agent for this
county, Conrad Differ will visit the
families for the purpose of introducing
this very necessary household prepar-
alton, when for the triaing sum Of 20
cents a package can be procured which
may perhaps be the means of saving
life and property. ~

Something NeWll
Chenq WIeag's Starch Polish and
Chinese Washing Blue.

For putting on the same gloss and
hard pearl finish to Shirts, Collars, &c.,
as when bought new, at cost of one
cent per week 1t beats the world
With greenemigrant servant we can
polish linen equal to any Laundry in
America. It causes the iron to run
smoothly, and prevents rust. 1t
makes all old shirt look nsw. it gives
the linen such smooth, glossy finish,
that dust and dirt will not stick
to it. A woman can do her ironing
in one half the time, and the clothes
smell sweet and fresh.
Every box of the Cheng Weng con-
tains a package of Chinese Washing
Blue from which large 8-ounce Bot
tie Of Liquid Bluing can be made in
one minute without cost; if necessary
this can be demonstrated at any time
and it will be seen how quickly the
Blusing i. made from the powder, con-
vinciag any person ths- thay are sc-
tually getting the price Of ths Box III
Blueing alone, besides having { large
box Of the Cheng Weng that will last
q family many months.
1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the roning Of large
family. Warranted not to injure
the clothes but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to 60 through the wearing out process
Of washing and starching so often. 1t
gives the linen such a smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, SO that it will keep
clean much longer Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is sufi-
cient inducement to bring it into gen.
eral use. The Polish is packed in a
slide box, containing "a Lozenges
which will last an ordinary family six
months.
The Cheng Weng Chinese Washing
Blue from Hong Kong is without any
doubt the best in the world 1t new
er settles when in water, and contains
ten times the amount of blueing prop
erty of ordinary bottle blueing.
Give it one trial and you will al.
ways use it.
Each box contains 80 cents worth of
polish which is sold at half price
thirty cents per box.
Beware of travelling swindlera
who will offer you a bogus article for
25 to IS cents per box and thus steal

comprising the counties of Clinton,
Essex and Franklin. Mr.. Wheeler
proved himself a faithful representa-
tive, consistently y supporting the Re
publican party, and aiding in all
measures for the suppression of the
rebellion. After this term in Congress
had expired, Mr. Wheeler retired in
to private life for four or FIVE years,
but in the spring Of 1867 he was again
called to take an active part in poll
tics. He was elected, in April, 1867,
a member Of the State Constitutional
Convention, and at its organization
the following June, he again received
distinguished mark Of public favor
by being elected to the position of
Chairman of the Convention. In the
fall of 1867, Mr.. Wheeler was norni-
mated and elected to the Forty first
Congress from the Nineteenth Dis
trict, comprising Franklin and St.
Lawrence counties, and since that
date he has sat continuously in Con-
gress up to the present time. In the
4lst Congress Mr.. Wheeler was Chair
man of the Committee on the Pacific
Railroad, which office he also held in
the Forty-second Congress, and in the
last Congress he was chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, Dur
ing the Forty-third Congress, in the
winter of 1874, he was, as already
stated, appointed Chairman of the
Congressional Committe which went
to New Orleans to settle the disturb
ing question which then prevailed in
Louisiana, and it was mainly owing
to his exertions that a peaceable set
tlement was obtained, and what is
known as the "Wheeler compromise
was accepted by both parties in Louis
lana Legislature. The compromise
agreed upon by the committee was
adopted IN good faith by Republicans
and Democrats, peace was restored,
andgood feelings soon prevailed among
all classes of citizens.

William A. Wheeler.

Hon Wi'}ir,n A. Wheeler, Vice.
President, is the representative
in Congress from the Nineteenth Dis
trict Of New York, and from his train
ing and experience in public lite he
is we'll fitted for the office. He has
been for over q quarter Of a century
engaged III pursuits which eminently
! qualify him for the high office to
which he has been elected. He has
leen, since the death Of the Wing
party, a consistent Republican, and
his experience as a State legislator
and as member Of Congress for five
terms is sufficient guaranty Of his
fitness for the position Tn New
York, and especially in his own coun-
ty of Franklin, his character stands
very high, and in his capacity of
Chairman of the Congressional Com
mitt7e which went to New Orleans in
the winter Of 1874, to settle the Louis
lana difficulties, he showsed consider
able executive ability and sound sense,
which did much to bring about
peaceable settlement of tie questions
then at issue between the opposing
factions Mr.. Wheeler was born in
New York, June Is, 1919, and is con-
sequently in his tifty-eighth year. He
received a common school and acade-
mic education in his native town, and
subsequent Y entered the University
of Vermont, which he left in the year
lS42, without grauating. He next
studied law, and having been called
to the bar, he commenced the practice
Of his profession in his native county
with considerable success. He show
ID marked ability in his profession,
and in few years was offered the
nomination of District Attorney by
the democrats of Franklin County.
He accepted the nomination and was
elected He discharged the duties of
his office in an able and impartial
manner, and at the expiration of his
term of office he was requested to be-
come a candidate for the Assembly in
the Wing interest Mr.. Wheeler threw
himself into the contest warmly, and
was elected He only served one
term, however, and at its close gave
up for time public life to business
pursuits. He became cashier of the
bank in his native town and for four
teen years remained connected with
it, displaying juiicious judgment in
all it's transactions, and winning the
esteem and confidence of all who had
business relations with him. He
also became interested in railroads,
and was elected President Of the
Northern New York Railroad, which
position he held for eleven years. At
the death of the old Wing party, Mr..
Wheeler became Republican, and in
the year 1858 he was elected to the
State Senate, of which he was made
temporary President, distinguished
mark Of confidence in which he was
held by the Republican party who
then for the first time fully controlled
the Legislature. Mr.. Wheeler was an
active member of the Senate during
his term of Office, and his ability
and integrity were so we'll rec
ognized that his party removed

Hayes being 5,544,
TIE SPLENDID SPIRIT or THE MAN.
As an officer he was noted not only
for strict loyalty to his superiors, bat
for gallantry in battle and alacritY in
The discharge of every duty, however
rerilous or arduous.
The first suggestion Of his nomina-
tion for Governor was strongly disfay-
ored by he General, who put a quiet
usupon the movement in that direction
as soon as he heard of it. He gener-
ally preferred to remain in the mill
try service as long as the rebellion
lasted, and no political promotion was
any temptation for him to leave it
while the triumph Of the national
arms was incomplete.
During the war he was nominated
for Congress by the Republicans of
the Second District, and directly af-
terward received a letter importun-
ing him to return home and make the
canvass.
General Hayes replied to this let
Ter as follows
II CAMP, October 2d.
Yours of 29ti nit, is received Thanks
| have other business just now. Any man
who would cave the army al this time to
eieCtlouccr tor Congress ought to be scalp
ed. Truly yours,
Il. B. HAYES.
Notwithstanding this refusal to
leave the field to cooperate with his
friends in securing his political pre-
ferment, he was handsomely elected,
defeating Joseph c. Butler, the Dem
ocratic candidate, by majority of
2,455.
In 1868 he was reelected, his COM
petitor being Theodore Cook, and his
majority over that gentleman was
1856.
In Congress, his industry, sound
judgement and fedehty to the interest
Of his constituents were conspicuous,
and gave him position Of great prom
inence and Influence with his fellow
mel bers.
Though notapparentIy ambitious Of
oratorical display, and seldom occu-
pying the time Of the House with even
!; short speech, his unobtrustive and
thoroughly efficient discharge of his
dnty Won for him not only respect
but reputation, and was regarded
both in Washington and i'll Ohio as
one Of the ablest and best members on
the hoor.
He took a deep interest in all the
great and agiiatlng questions then be-
tore Congress, including those reIat-
ing to the reorganization Of the lately
revoIted States, and acted uniformly
in accord with the Republican line of
policy iii reference to the measures.
Mr.. Hayes is a good sized, we'll
formed man. He is every way we'll
made, las a handsome head and phys
iQue, and face which would intro
duce HIM favoraby anywhere. Ills
complexion is light, skin Aorid, tenn
permanent composed of the vital uo-
tive and mental in almost the same
proportions lie ls neither too fast
nor too slow, excitably or sluggish,
but is at once sufficiently energetic,
original, comprehensive, dignifed and
resoIute, He is more profound than
snowy, and has more application than
versatility, lie will finish what he
begins and make thorough work. He
has hopeful, happy nature, is emf
nently social, fond OF home and all that
belongs thereto, and as hospltable as
he is thoughtful and considerate.
