Mr.. JAMES G. STREAM, of Washing.

mn. JAMES ". OTkEAN, vi w bSnlnR-
ton county, Pa, died at bis residence,
near the town of Washington, Pa, on
the 9th inst, in the S4th year of his
age. Mr.. Stream was one of the most
successful farmers and business men
in that county and had accumulated
considerable wealth. He paid great
attention to fine wool growing, and at
the Worlds Fair held in England
lately he received q medal for exhibit
ing the finest wool in the world. He
has relatives and acquaintances hv-
ing here in Butler who are sorry to
learn Of bis decease.
THE Mercer Republican of the 10th
inst. gives the following as to the
action of the Committee of that
county: "The action of the County
Committee at its recent meeting has
been the subject of considerable dispu-
tation. No amount of explanation
will explain away the facts or effects
Of the result. The two tickets were
not the main issue involved. The
simple fact is that the anti Cameron
element Of the party controlled the
committee and laid upon the table the
resolutions the Cameron faction had
determined to adopt. The majority Of
the Committee saw nothing in the
resolutions but the factional purpose
for which they were prepared, and
wcre not in the humor to indorse
thst faction of the party. The gist of
the Committees whole action that
day was simply defeat for the Cam
eron sdherents A majority of those
who voted with the majority will
support the regular ticket. But when
they voted against the resolutions un.
necessarily prepared by the Cameron
machine in this county they knew the
effsct of their action and cannot be
convinced that they blundered and did
not understand their business"

THE MORNING DRINK.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-There is q sharp
fight in progress here between proprietors
of domestic mineral waters and owners and
agents Of pollinaris water. Attorney
General MacVeagh decided that pollin-
aris is an artificial water, and therefore
dutiable. Secretary Folger recently re-
versed this decision and decided that apoll-
inaris was entitled to enter this country
without payment of customs due.
A resolution is pending in Congress
directing Secretary of the Treasury not to
take any steps towards carrying out his
decision until there can be a thorough in
ysstigaton of the question as to whether
apollinaris is entitled to be placed on the
free list. Able legal Talent has been en-
gagged on both sides. Ex-senator Conk-
ling is said to be counsel for the appollin-
aris interests, and to have received cash
fee of fifty thousand dollars

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
of her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best

that the decision of the Supreme Court IN

not have any practical effect upon the own

in a compromise, by which the old Chi
