n Vacation Ramble.

NORTH CONWAY, n. H., Oct. ), 1873
This mornings sun found us awakening from
refreshing and restful sleep at our inn at the little
village Of Upper Bartlett, we'll up towards the
famous Crawford or White Mountain Notch This
village is the growth Of the last five years 1t is
level plain Of limited extent, shut ia amongst the
mountains, where formerly there were but few
farms and farm houses; but since the Ogdens-
hnrgh railroad was completed through the Notch,
It has grown to respectable dimensions as avlage.
J. has pabhc house, stores, shops, dwellings and
all The necessary appurtenances. 1t has also a
large steam saw mill where quantities of lumber
A'e manuilctured to be sent to market by rail. 1t
- qlNe pretty spot for summer residence
amongst the mountains. The road by which the
village Is reached by private conveyance would
not be Obj ectonable, but for the numerous plank
bridges where it crosses and recrosses the Saco
river and other water courses. These br;does
built Of loose planks, are some of them worn and
rotten, with here and there hole, suggestive of
danger to life and limb, as well as to horse and
carriage They are cheap but costly, for though
not expensive to build. they are frequently carried
away by the spring ireshets that swell these noun.

Political.

The republican gains in Iowa placed at 90
600.
Ex Doorkeeper Flizhugh claims that it was his
letter which defeated Holman for Congress.
1t is reported that the greenbackers will defeat
Gen. Joe Johnston and Congressman Goode in
their districts in Virginia.
The financial discussion is multiplying instances
of the depreciation of fiat money. A man in
Hayt sends Pttsburg editor a note for the NOM
ina sum of 81, with the remark that it takes two
thousand of such notes, Or $4,000, to get beef
steak.
And still another instance of Gen. Buffers love
for the workingman comes to light. The Cape Ann
Company, in which the General holds controlling
interest, pays it's quarrymen only $3.50 day for
IL hours of work. and in water it only pays them
so cents to 30 cents to work from day light to dark
Mr.. Editor
Having received applications from many indlvid-
uals asking my support to them for the office which
is to be filed by the Legislature next winter, l
avail myself of this method of saying to one and
all, that l will exercise my best judgement in
voting for the man that think best qualified for
the place. Making no other pledges l shall have
none to redeem. r. ii. PERKINS.

ARE FAT PEOrLE HEALTHY,

Why are fat people always complaining' asks
one VINO enferans the popular though erroneous
notion thai health is synony mons with fat. Fat
Obesity is an abnormal condition of the system,
in which the sacchsrne and oleaginou- elements
of the food sssimilated to the partial exclusion
of the muse e- forming and brain producing ele-
ments. 10 proof Of this, it is only necessary to
assert the wel-kpown fact that excessively fat
pie are never strong, and seldom distng uished
for mental powers or activity. Besides they are
the easy prey of acute and epedemic diseases. and
they are the frequent victims of CONT, hear. dis
ease, and apoplexy. Aan's Anti Fat is the only
known remedy for this disease 1t contains no
acid, is absolutely harmless and is warranted to
remedy the most confirmed case Of obesity, or
corpulency. t&wlt

Senator Blaine in Chicago.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean Oct. s.
1t is a long time since the earnest convic-
ton that fostered the Republican party has
been stirred anew as it was by the sturdy
common-sense address of the Hon. james
g Blaine. at the Tabernacle, last night
II was like the old days when Republican
ism and patriotism were synonymous, and
people had not learned smooth names for
uoly things. To say that the meeting was
enthusiastic would not express the charac-
ter of the spontaneous manifestations by
the great mass ofhuman beings that crowd
ed into the vast building to listen to the
words of one of Americas greatest states
men. The magic in the name OF man
who has been identified with the republican
party since it was conceived and born, was
demonstrated by the presence OF the 5000
eager listeners, and that. too OF the think
inc portion OF the community both the men
and the women of Chicago, whose plaudits
welcomed the Senator from Maine. They
knew that he would utter words of no un-
certain meaning, and they wished to hear
once more the discussion of the issues OF
the dav from the It lndpoint of the old par
" IN whose principles they believed. The
steady hum of the stream Of people enter
ing the building sounded like the solid
tramp of Republican infantry fifteen years
ago. The Senator was escorted from the
Grand Pacific Hotel by the Veteran Club,
under command of Captain Jacobs, head
ed by a band. Soon after s o'clock a pro-
longed cheer from the outside announced
the approach of the speaker, and as he en-
tered the great building echoed as never
before to round upon round of applause
The recent elections proved fatal to a
large number of democratic Statesmen,
their constituents failing to return them
again to Congress. The following dem
ocrats who are now Chairmen OF House
committees failed to be reelected
Chairman of the Committee on Claims
Eden of Illinois; on Military Affairs,
Banning; on Naval Affairs, Whithorne

REMARKABLE ADVENTURE IN THE BREsLAu
living i'm the wilderness near Bresau, Long
Island, quilted his house on Saturday after
noon; His family, supposing he had gone to
sence On Tuesday morning Cipperiy's SON. a
lad OF 10 years, in passing through seldom
visited part OF the wilderness, heard groans.
On investigation the boy found his father held
fast to the ground by tree, which had fallen
across his legs. Cipperly had chopped the tree
down, and had been crushed beneath it, After
an hours hard work the boy released his
father. Cipperly was unable to walk and the
boy was obliged to 90 for assistance TO carry
him home. No bones were broken, and
although badly bruised and half famished for
want OF food, Cipperly is recovering The
place where he met with the accident is three
quarters OF a mile from any house, and
although he hallooed for help until he was
hoarse, no one heard his cries until his SON
found him. ". Y. Sun. 10Th.
