Col. CoNGER, chairman of the Ohio
Republican Central Committee. who is a
strong Blaine man, says. that Mr. Blaine
comedies Sherman's right to the Ohio
delegation at Chicago, on the first ballot
at least. The Cincinnati Commercial re.
marks that this is the correct policy.
"The friends of Blaine and Sherman
should work together against Grant
The mistake that Sherman's friends are
making is not in fighting Grants friends
or rather those who are pushing Grant
for the Presidency with the utmost Wig
or. 1t vain to seek to conciliate the
boomers. They mean business, and are
SO persistent they must be knocked
down or pushed aside"

transferring the recreation of hanging

last week. The bill provides that execu

Treating fhe wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon theiI
| family physicians. one with dyspepsia
another with palpitation, another with
Troubles of the breast, another with pain
here and there, and in this way they all
present alike to themselves and their
easy-golpg doctors, separate and distinct
diseases, for which he prescribes his
pills and potions, assuming them to be
such, when in reality, they are all symp-
toms caused by some uterine disorder
and while they are thus only able to pal
late for time, they are ignorant of the
cause, and encourage their practice, I'M
til large bills are made, when the suffer-
ing patients are no better in the end,
but probably worse for the delay, Il eat
ment, and other complications made, and
which proper medicine directed to the
cause would have entirely removed,
thereby instituting health and comfort
instead of prolonged misery.

THE political rumors that Secretary
Sherman contemplates withdrawing
from the Presidential race probably Or
iginated in the fact that neither he nor
his friends are pushing his claims with
the energy and audacity of the friends of
Gen. Grant and Senator Blaine. Months
ago the Secretary frankly announced
that he wasa candidate for the nomi-
nation, but at the same time added that
he should not take advantage of his of
fetal position to promote his candidacy.

If each of the other States of the Uni.
ted States, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
sends as many Legislators on expeditions
to Washington as Ohio does, a legislator
must be about as common in that city
as female lobbyist or a peanut peddler.
Still the Ohio legislators always want to
be invited inside the bar, to wander over
the floor and slap the members on their
backs and pile their brogan's on the
Speakers table.

THE Republican love feast held in the
Hall of the House of Representatives
at Columbus on Thursday evening of
last week, was well attended, and for
the most part, the best of feeling pre-
vailed. One thing was evident, howev-
er, that the large majority of the sub
stantial thinking men present were
friendly to Secretary Sherman. A re-
spectacle number of Senator Blaine's
Republican friends were on hand, and
were assisted by many well-known
Democrats, in keeping up the Blaine
boom, and in calling out the champions
of the Maine statesman. 1t is encoura-
ging when Democratic claquers yell
themselves hoarse in the interest of the
"plumed knight" but it would be more
so, did they vote in the same direction.

SECRETARY
pro tenn.

The s. S. convention which met here
on Monday, was very agreeable and
interesting affair. Mr.. Austin Curtin
presided and Mr.. J. r. VanOrmer fill
ed the Seeretary's chair. The exercises
were of such a nature rs will, we hope,
prove lasting benefit TO The schools of
our town.
A goodly number of visitors, not on
~ from the townships included in this
district, was present. An essay was
read by Miss Puella Dornblarser, ou
"The field and how to cultivate it,"
which was h1ost highly spoken of by
every one present.
The singing by Rev. Crontz, of Nit
tany Valley, gave great pleasure to all
and was. one of the incest features Of
the convention.
Rev. J. G.. Shoemaker was in town
on Sabbath and assisted in the funeral
services of Mr.. John Zeigler's child.
All were glad to see and hear Mr.. s.
again, though it was upon such sad
occasion.
Mr.. Thomas Hulls have gone to
housekeeping in part of Mfr. Beavers
house.
A neat and comfortable tan walk has
been made from Mr.. Ney's corner to
to the Lutheran church. The thanks
of the members of that church especial.
" and of all who have occasion to pass
that way are due to those who construc'
ted it.
Miss Lizzie Huston was home; for
few days. last week. Sho returned tc
school on Friday.
Mrs. Henry Fulli1er is q very great
sufferer. Instead of improving she
grows worse, and has, for some time
suffered intensely.
The meeting at the Ev. church closed
after good NANNY weeks work: The
success was not what might have beer
hoped for, but some of the seed sowr
may yet germinate and bear fruit.
