The loss of life in India due to the rayages of
yenomous snakes is almost incredible. Yet the
disease which is as willy and deadly as the deadiest
India reptile, Is winding Its coil around thousands
OF people while the victims unconscious of its
presence. 1t has long been a hobby with incom-
petent physicians to assume that consumption is
incnrabe after the formation of tubercles has be-
gun; and in every case they fail to effect a cure
of course tubercles had begun to form and they
were incurable. The records of medical science
cases of lung disease which had been cured and
the patients lived forty and fifty years in robust
health, post-mortemt examinations showed large
eicatrices (scars) where the tuberces had been
formed and removed. The tubercles are removed
by absorption into the blood. An efficient altera-
tive, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, must
be used to cleanse the blood of the scrofulous i'm
purities. For tubercular consumption is, only a
form of scrofulous disease. Golden Medical Dis
covery is a sovereign remedy for all forms of
scrofulous disease, or kings evil such as tilmors
white swellings fever-sores, scrofulous sore eyes
as well as for other blood and skin diseases

FISHING ON THE SusQUEHANNA-The shad
and herring have about ceased running in the
upper bay and the contiguous waters, and the
fishermen have taken in their seines and stopped
operations. The season has been more profita.
Bile than any they have known for many wears.
and the increase of fish is largely attributed to
the operations of the fish commissioners. Very
many of the shad that have been caught were
the product of the plant made by Commissioner
Ferguson within the last three years. The old
fishermen used to denounce scientific piscicul-
ture as a humbug, but their ideas about it have
been wonderfully changed since they caught this
season the big fish that were spawned In the
Susquehanna by artificial means as far back as
1877. They now acknowledge that there is
something in the business that they did not pre-.
Viously understand or appreciate The season
at the Old Bay shore on the Susquehanna NAV
be taken as an example. About $4,000 shad
were caught, and were sold at an average of $40
per hundred. The herring were so thick and
plentiful that they became nuisance and broke
the nets. The profits of this one shore, which
Is owned by Mr.. A. F. Brown, were $4,000 in
the clear. and other propretors were similarly
lucky: Mr. Brown had as his assistants George
w. Murphy, foreman of the boat wing and
Thomas +. Brown, forman of the land wing.

The Struggle ut Chicago.

Public interest this week has centred on The
great struggle at Chicago for the Republican
Presidential nomination. The fight between
Grant and Blaine, for which the previous
struggles in the various States were merely
skirmishes, ragged with violence unparallel-
in the history Of political campaigns. The
adherents of each side loudly declared that
if their opponents prevailed split in the Re-
publican party would be the result The pop
ular feeling appeared to be on the side of
Blaine, but his managers were no match for
such astute, INSCRIPTIONS and daring leaders
as Conkling, Cameron and Logan, the Grant
chieftalns
The great fight was over the unit rule
which would have given the thrd-termers
the solid votes of New York and other States
The Grant leaders at first insisted strenuous
ly upon it, but after numerous conferences
with the Blaine men, it was left to the con-
vention to decide. Senator Hoar was agreed
upon as temporary chairman.
In the preliminary organization neither
side could claim any great advantage over the
other.
The Maryland delegation, it is stated, went
into the convention eight for Grant, six fol
Blaine and two for Sherman. James A
Gary was elected chairman of the delegation
and member of the Republican national
committee for the next four years.
The convention was organized ut one
O'Clock on Wednesday, according to the pro-
gramme arranged by the leaders. After thus
organizing the convention adjourned unit
Thursday. The most bitter feeling was
showed by the two great factions, each being
apparently determined either to succeed OF
to crush the other 1t is impossible to fore
tell the result. The opposition to Grant, il
united, could bring about his defeat, but they
will not unite on Blaine. Sherman has only
small following, composed of his own State
and few petty Treasury officials. If thu
third-termers find they can not force Gran
through they will probably feel very little in
terest in the contest beyond beating Blaine
The same may be said ofthe Blaine men. Ate
nil, the history of former political convention
may be repeated, and n comparatively un
known man be nominated.
Nothing has yet been said about candi
date for Vice President on the Republican
ticket, but q number of willing gentlemen
are anxously hoping that the lightning ma,
strike them.

The CENsUs.-The census enumemtors began
work in the several districts of this county on
Tuesday. Their duty requires them to ask each
farmer no less than 1876 questions, and in order
that the statistics in relation to our county may
be accurate and complete, it is to be hoped that
every person will answer the questions put to
him or her fully and fairly. The books of the
enumerators do not provide for gathering any
special statistics in regard to the fruit and vege-
table canning business, and we therefore suggest
to the enumerators the Importance of embracing
that industry also in their list in order that the
extent of the business in Hartford may be ascer.

ApPLEToNs' JOURNAL for June has paper by
Appleton Morgan, resuming the discussion he
began last year on the authorship of the Shakes
peare plays. There is the first half ola novelette,
by Victor Cherbuliez entitled "Herr Dromer 8
Inconsistencies" The story is full of wit, point,
fresh Characterization, and the main situation
is certainly novel one. There is another emf
mently readable selection fir ON Seniors Con-
versation." There is q very entertaining paper
ON Burton's " Anatomy of Melancholy" paper
on Siberia, which gives quite new idea of that
much-talked-of country, by which it appears
that Punishment to Siberia is not the terrible
thing it has been supposed to be. The editors
