that of the 10 or II million dollars

The Wall-street bulls do not accept the
opinion of the London Times that the

business men are willing to confess, and,
in addition there must be an immense

A few days more spent at st. Leon,
has tended to confirm our faith in the
curative value of the water of these
springs. The very large number who
were here until last week, have thinned
out somewhat. and there are ample accom-
modations for all present, as there will
be during the remainder of the season.
1t is probable. that many who attend the
Dominion Fair at Montreal, will visit
this place few days for rest and recu-
peration. The low fare on the railroad,
and the price of board here. only Sl.00

agreeable to spend some days here.
Having an excursion ticket to Quebec.
we visited this grand old historic city,
and will attempt a very brief descrip-
ton of it and its surroundings. Quebec
is situated some hundred miles from the
mouth of the majestic St. Lawrence,
and is noted, both for its great age, as
an American city, and its strength as a
military fortress. On either side of the
river for some miles above and below
the city, the lands, which form a wide
plain extending to the Laurentian Hills
on the north, and the highlands of New
England on the south, rise by precipi-
tous banks some hundreds of feet above
the level of the river. Quebec lies at
the foot of, and upon, high promonto-
ry on the south side of which flows the
river st. Lawrence, and on the north
of which the St. Charles river joins the
main river through wide valley. The
city is built both at the foot of the pre-.
cipitous bluff on the south and east, and
upon the bank of the Charles extending
nearly to the citadel and Plains of A bra
ham on the north and west side. Low
er Town is old and dirty. some portion,
of Upper Town are pleasant and vel
built. Here, as in other portions O
Lower Canada, the most imposing build
ings are those erected by the Catholic
church. The amount expended in thi
city for churches, nunneries and othe
Catholic institutions is immense. Tn
community is filled with priests. an,
the poorer people are grievovsly taxe'
for the support of the Catholic clergy
and the erection of church and othe
institutions of the denomination. Que
bee is sadly wanting in enterprise ant
business life. Beside the large numbe

BEWARE OF SPLIT TICKETS!

Vote the straight State, District and
County tickets. Lend no aid or comfort
to the schemers, whose only object is to
create division and lessen the average
republican majority. Scrutinize the
tickets handed you, and vote the reg
ular ticket entire. Do not play into the
hands of the enemy this year.
VOTE FOR FARNHAM AND BARsTow
AND PAGE
our worthy, upright and faithful nomi-
nees for State offices. Remember that
by the Governor vote your majority is
reckoned, and the representation of the
town determined in the next conventions.
Give the State ticket every republican
vote and give the sympathizers with re-
bellion and the maligners of Abraham
Lincoln who have put up their repre-
sentative man for Governor, rebuke
that they will understand and remember!
VOTE FOR GEN. CIRCUIT FOR CONGRESS.
Be sure and vote for our able and
gallant and honest nominee for Repre-
sentative in Congress. Gen. circuit has
carried himself without reproach, cher
ishes no animosities, and is entitled to
every Republican vote. To give him
the full party majority, is the way to
future union and harmony in our ranks.
VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN COUNTY
TICKET.
Split County tickets will be plenty /;
but their manipulators have no hope or
expectation of defeating the election of
any Republican nominee. The ticket is
composed of able and true men, squarely
nominated, and entitled to every repub-
lican vote. The only effect of these
petty splits is to encourage the demo-
Gratis, and give them something to brag
of. Don't let them have anything to
brag of after election.
LET EVERY VOTER DO HIS DUTY

be a star of hope and promise to our

and then they could 60 to doing business
at profit Of Is per cent. He stated
that these banks were letting their mon
ey at from eight to ten per cent. and
declared that resumption of specie
payment had not taken place. The
stockholders in the banks in this vicinity
will be glad to learn that the business
is so profitable; and those in this vicin-
ity who are hiring money of the banks
for six per cent. will not wish to patron
ize Mr.. Fisk's institutions. The next
important statement was that resumption
had not taken place, and that man
could not take greenback or national
bank bill and receive gold on it by pre-
senting it at bank or at the United
States sub treasury. Mr.. Fisk closed
his profound discussion of national
financial matters, by hurting forth this
staggering conundrum: GLOW can this
country resume specie payment? How
can they pay tsoo billions with one ham
dred and fifty dollarss" No republican
could answer the question.
The speaker next struck the familiar
topic of Vermont State extravaganza.
He stated that the labor done by John
A. Page, State Treasurer, was of small
account and carried the idea that his
salary was enormously high. Mr.. Page
handles several hundred thousand dollars
annually for the State, is under $780,
900 bonds, does large amount of work
and gets for his risks and labors $1,000
annually. He stated that r.aPage
never paid any interest to the State on
money handled. He made the slight
mistake of $4,000 in this statement,
as Mr.. Page has paid that sum into the
treasury for money put at interest while
he has been treasurer. Other officers
were referred to; the speaker claimed
that some cheap women clerks could do
this business.
Garfield was next attacked and he
was accused of taking the salary grab,
and other awful things. The speaker
closed by extolling John Currier. demo
cratic nominee for congress; told what
public spirited citizen he is; what a
remarkable ability he possesses, and
what great things he had done in the
legislature. Orleans county folks have
seen John and know something about it
Mr.. Fisk's speech was very pleasing tc
the republicans present. Many claimed
it to have been the best performance o.
the season.
