Doctor Schliemann has telegraphed from Ithaca to Athens: "We have made a great discovery. On the plateau which extends toward the western shore of the southeast part of the island, we have found, in digging, ninety houses of cyclopean con struction, belonging to the Homeric city of Ithica. Impossible to express here the methodical result of our excavations. The winter rains have washed into the sea all the ancient treasures. Nevertheless, the discovery of these ruins constitutes val uable treasure for the island. All the love CTS of antique souvenirs will hasten to visit the city of Homer"

It makes no difference how many Phys'c- lans, or how much medicine you have tried. It is now an established fact that German Syrup is the only remedy which has given complete satisfaction in severe eases of Lung diseases. It is true that there are yet thousands of persons who are predisposed to Throat and Lung Affections, Consump-- tion, Hemorrhage, Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the Breast, Pneumonia, Whoop- ing Cough, &c., who have no personal knowledge of Boschee's German Syrup. To such we would say that 50,0O0 dozen were sold last year without one complaint. Consumptives try just one bottle. Regular size 75 cents. Sold by all Druggists in America.

Congressional Nominations.
We quote from the Bridgeport Standard us follows:
HON. FREDERICK MILES.

we quoIe from me brlOgepOrt Standard us follows:
 ' HON. FREDERICK MILES.
 The Fourth District Republican Congres- slopal convention nominated Hon. Fred. erlck Miles, of Salisbury, for Congress, ty aCciamallOn. and no better nomination could have been made. Mr. Miles is a large manufacturer in Salisbury, and has been known as an honorable and success ful business man for many years. His personal popularity was proved when he was elected to the State Senate ln d district containing very heavy Democratic major ity. lie did not desire this nomination but he yielded his own preferences to the u"g- ent solicitations of numerous Republicans inH both counties. If elected he will do his whole duty to his constituents.
 The Bridgeport Independent has the fol- lowing:
 CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
 The Democratic congressional conven. ton of the Fourth district was held October 3d. and F. w. Bruggerhoff of Darien, was nominated for Congress. It was thought at one time that the Fairfield county dele gates would he unable to agree upon can didate. In that event Mir. George w. Pes [ from Canaan, Litcbtield county. would have been nominated. Mir. Bruggerhoff' 's friends were in favor of Mir. Peet as their second choice, and would have voted for Peet, if Mir. BIuggerhoff had not been fin- ally agreed upon in caucus before the con ventlon met. MT. Warden of Stamford. did not develop as much strength IS bis friends supposed he would, ana his name was withdrawn after the first informal bal | lot. Had not the nomination belonged this year to Fairfield county, there is no question but what Mir. Peet would have been nominated. But the Litchtield cour- | " delegates were ready to vote for any 1 mau that Fairfield county could agree upon. 1 Had they not been able to agree, then Litcbfield county would have stepped in and carried out tte programme that had been arranged upon. The resolutions do not alude to tue financial question, but en- dorse the platform >dopted by the State convention. MT. Bruggerhoff came before the convention after being nominated, ard ill few remarks thanked the convention for the honoy they had conferred upon him, and said he was a hard mOuey man and cn. dorsed the State platform.

j. II. Brown, OF Muscalonge, in spite of
frost, wet weather and birds, has raised sixty
bushels of cherries, which he is selling at
about cts. per quart.
The miners here are discouraged on ac-
count of the low price of mineral, although
they all feel that there is plenty of mineral in
the hills of Beetown.
The new store building lately occupied by
Brown Bros. is now empty. 1t is certainly a
good stand for any one wishing to go into the
merchandising business.
If one wishes to spend social evening,
or delights in genial hospitality, he has but to

and his good lady have a peculiar knack of
making stranger feel perfectly at home.
There are many Greenbackers in Beetown
but they say they do not care for party in
county elections. They go for good men re-
gardless of party. Many of these say if L. J.
Arthur, a former Beetown boy, is nominated
for District Attorney by the Republicans this
Fall they will support him. II will be remem-
bered he was a prominent candidate before
the county convention two years ago.
Rev Mr.. Brobst is once more spending
his vacation from theological study at Bee

| to the town. He will occupy the pulpits of the
Bloomington and Biakes Prairie Congrega-
tional churches while Rev. Il. NJ. Cheney, the
pastor, enjoys vacation of three months.
Being of a generous, whole-souled nature,
possessed of the invaluable faculty of attracts
