 At this point, under any ordinary circum- stances, the election of Hawley, now so near a majority, would have been assured but the determination to defeat Hawley was so bitter, that the tenth ballot merely effected a transfer of five votes from Harrison to Jewell. In the eleventh ballot there was evidently desperate and successful effort on the part of the anti HawIey men to effect change of base. The Platt men who had been voting for 1awley were recalled, plainly on the expectation that their first candidate. would now become the leading opponent of Hawley. In pursuance of this design the five ballots succeeding the tenth saw Platt's vote increased to twenty four while Hawley's fell to 59, the lowest it had been since the second ballot. Jewell, in the meantime, had suffered even worse than flaw ley, his vote dropping to Al. Even the most sanguine of his supporters must nave seen that his chance was hopeless, and the next six bal lots show a disposition on their part to bring out some new candidate.

Viewed as a mere exhibition of tactical skill, having as it's object the defeat of the manifest wishes of the people of Connecticut, the adroitness of management by which that object was effected is entitled to praise of & certain kind But Mir. Marshall Jewell, to whose untiring efforts this result must be at tributed. has succeeded also in completely ru- ming whatever prospects he may have had of further political advancement from the people of his own State He b&s not only ruined his own prospects, but he has seriously injured those of his own party. Indeed. all that now stands between Joseph R. Hawley and the Senate in 1881 is the popular disgust which has been aroused by the shameful reaction to- wards Grantism and partisanship of the mar rowest and most selfish type, which has every where characterized the Republican manage ment since the unexpected success of that party at the fall elections.

 Platt had in the meantime held his own. and the opposition evidently determined, after {. .careful examination of the situation, to con tinue their attempt to combine on him. The critical point came on the 26th ballot. On the 24th, the Hawley vote ran up to 67 against the Platt combination, just as on the 9th bal lot it had reached that figure against the liar rison combination. On the 26th ballot, how ever, instead of rising to Fl as he had done against Harrison, Hawley fell to 62 That ballet decided his fate. The next seven rounds effected a cautious and successful trans fer of thirty votes from Jewell and Harrison to Patt, losing but four to Hawley in the opera tion. The coup de grace was given in the 34th ballot. when, of twenty more Jewell and Har- rson votes Platt received enough to give him the lead. Five votes still remained to Jewell and Harrison, of which Platt easily got enough to cOmDlete his majority:

nLACK BARREN SPRINGS.
A valuable Maryland mineral
Spring.


Black Barren Springs is situated IN q
long narrow strip of land known as Inc
uBisck Barrens," in the northern pal
OF Cecil county near Conowingo on Inc
S,,snuehanpa. The land is OF the
poorest kind for agricultural pursuits
but contains valuable mineral deposits.
Many wears ago it contained the greatest
lime ouarries In the United States, Inc
healing properties Of water from BLACK
Barren Springs, has not until ,ate years
been known to any considerable extent,
but the place now bids fair 70 pecome
famous. , ~
Speaking Of this place the Cecil Coun-
~ (Md.) Wing says.
sThe farm upon which the Black Bar
ron Spring is situated was formerly own
ed by Il. II. Haines, Esq, Cashier OF the
Rising Sun Banking Company. who re-
csntly sold it to DR.. James Black, OF
Lancaster, Pa, who has improved and
beautitied it by repairing the buildings,
one of which was formerly used Tor
boarding school, but was opened as a
GUNNER resort on the first instant.
The place is easily accessible by means
Of the Philadelphia Il Baltimore Central
Railroad to Oxford and thence by the
Narrow Gauge road to Arcadia Station,
which il within mile and half Of the
Spring; or by means Of Columbia q
Port Deposit Railroad from Port d. posit
10 Haines' Station, which is only mile
and . half from the Spring.
Black Barren Spring water las very
little taste or odor, so little indeed, as
hardly to be recognized by It's sensible
properties as mineral water; yet It's
action on wood is such that it cannot be
transported in casks; the libra becoming
disinlegrated and filling the water with
sediment. This action on organic mat
tor keeps the water always pure, so that
exposed to the air for an indefinite length
of time, 1t does not putrefy or undergo
appreciable change. The mineral con-
stituents of the water, as determined by
analysis, are mainly sulphates of the al
kalies, and alkaline earths; the aggre-
gaze amount of sulphuric acid in weight
being nearly one-half, and yet so NICE
" neutralized that it does not impart
taste. To this element is due much OF
the energy Of the water.
This water is lightly recommended
and proved itself very etiicacious in the
sue of Bright's disease of the kidneys
diabetes aud similar diseases, as well al
dyspepsia, drop.y, nervous debility, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, and all pains arising
from dlsordeied condition of the stom'
ach and liver"
