 Oxford, Conn.,, August IA, 1882. MEssRs LEWIS & Go:
 Gentlemen II have examined your formula, and after visiting your estab- Eshment and witnessing your method of preparing these bitters, unhesitating- ly testify that your bitters should pro- duce favorable results in any affection of the liver. While many disorders of that organ cannot be cured, temporary relief may be afforded to the worst cas- es These bitters should be beneficial in many forms of kidney complaint, and decidedly valuable in dyspepsia, and in debility, arising from malaria or other remote causes.

the customary services in opening the session
Tomorrow morning the letter of DR.. Nicholson,
declining the office to which he was elected, will
be presented and the convention will at once
proceed with the regular business for the cleo
ton of a bishop. The three names which are
being most prominently mentioned just now are
DIR. Rulison, of Cleveland, DR.. Paret, of WASH
ington, and DIR. Worthington, of Detroit. 1t is
announced that DR.. Garrett, who has been
spoken of in connection with the position with
general favor, would not accept, If elected. DR..
Hall. of Brooklyn, would also decline the Office,

candidates but the three who are likely to lead
In the balloting at first are the gentlemen

eral expression of sentiment that there Is no
probability Of the election of any man who

The Board of Aldermen.

The Board of Aldermen met last night, the
special order being the Metropolitan street rail-
way ordinance. Mr.. Tucker, seconded by Mr..
Mussman, moved to lay the special order upon
the table, on which the role was called-yeas 4,
nays 5. The ordinance was then taken up.
A protest was received from the State-house
commissioners obiecting to 80 much of the Met
ropolitan street railway ordinance as refers to
the laying of track "west upon West Market
street to North Tennessee street, thence north
along and upon Tennessee to Ohio stree, for the
reason that If said location be adopted it would
necesitate a curvature on the line of at least
ninety degrees at a point Immediately in front
of the grand entrance OF the state-house, thereby
inconveniencing the public greatly by retarding
the progress of vehicles, pedestrians, etc. 1t
was moved by Mr.. Tucker, seconded by Mr..
RorisOn, that the petition be laid upon the Ia
BILE. Mr.. Layman explained that there were
already street railroad facilities on both the
north and south sides of the Capitol. The mo-
ton was lost and the petition was then read.
"Reminiscences against the. laying of street
railway tracks on Cherry, East and Broadway
streets were read.
Mr.. Hamilton moved to amend the third route
to read: From the Union Railway Depot on
South Meridian street, north along said Meridian
street to Circle street, and around the west side
of Circle to Meridian street, thence north on
Meridian street to Ohio street, thence west on
Ohio street." etc. This to avoid the curvature
complained of by the State-house commission
ers.) Adopted.
MIR. Hamilton moved to strike out the second
route (the line TO the Atlas works.. Ayes-De-
Ruiter, Drew, Hamilton, MussInan, LaymaD,
Newman. ~Nays-RorisOn, Seibert, Tucker.
MIR. Rorison, objecting to thus consolidating
the ordinance, moved to lay IL upon the table.
Lost.
Mr.. Tucker moved that Mr.. johnson Of the
Citizens Street Railway Company who was pres
ent be asked If there was anything left IN the
Metropolitan Street Railway ordinance that he
objected to in order that the board might amend
it 10 suit him. The presidest called the gentle
man to order. The ordinance was read q third
time and put upon it's passage and passed, all
tue members present (only Mr.. Wood being alb
senU voting for 1t.
The board adjourned.

Custer,s Last Battle.

The historical painting Clusters Last Battle
was put on exhibition at Plymouth Hall yester-
day, and during the day it was visited by quite
a number of people. 1t is from the brush Of
Cassidy Adams, a well-known painter of st.
Louis, and is a work on which much labor snd
study has been spent. The picture is 32x12 feet
in dimensions and consists of three sections,
the center piece, representing the battle proper,
and two side pieces representing episodes in
General Clusters life. The scene Of the battle is
copied from nature and the incidents are depict
ed as told by the survivors. The picture is
therefore historically correct, and the workman
ship is of the highest order. The coloring and
groupings are especially artistic, while the fig
Ires are natural and nfe-like. The picture will
well repay inspection by those who are interested
in such matters, and the public generally. 1t will
he on exhibition daily during the remainder of
the week from 10 A. NJ. to 10 P. NJ.
The gentlemen who have charge of the pic
lures have invited the school children of the
city to visit it on Thursday next for the admis-
sion fee of five cents.

A FALL.
A Trapeze Performer at the Park Falls
Twenty-Five Feet to the Stage.

At the opening of the Park Theater, lastinight,
there was a sickening accident, which was cal
culated to throw a damper over the perform
ance. The fourth "turn" was announced on the
programme as follows: "The Antipodean won
der, Mons. La Hare, the greatest of all trapese
or ring performers and ceiling walkers. This
act is performed only by this gentleman" 1t
was lucky indeed for the other performers, that
the act which followed was done by him alone.
His apparatus consisted of a swinging trapese
suspended at one end of "a long bar and at the
other were two ropes with iron
rings at the ends. Along the bar
at intervals were sloops Of strong
webbing, the whole oeing probably twenty-five
feet from the stage. With no net intervening,
as is customary in such acts, Mr.. lie Hare, a
muscular young man, probably not more than
twenty years old, first did a number Of hazard
GUS things on the trapeze, and then started to do
what is professionally called a "ceiling walking"
act. This is accomplished by slipping his feet in
the loops on the bar, one before the other, the
performer thus making progress with his head
downward, and With his body swaying forward
and ~ackward, SO as to give him the necessary
impetus. 1t is an exceedingly dangerous act,
and the stiffness of death reigned throughout
the immense audience when LIE Hare began it.
i ne "a" proceeded but a few feet when the
hanging, broke and he fell to the stage, his de-
scent being so rapid that the outlines OF his body
could scarcely be distinguished in mid air. Mr..
VIII. Dickson, who was on the stage. ran out
and lifted the prostrace form up, and the cur
tain was rung down, amid the greatest excite
ment in the audience. Two physicians, who
were in front, Immediately went back ON the
stage and did what they could for the man,
while the performance went on. He was totally
unconscious for about twenty minutes, and then
revived somewhat. II was found that his left
wrist was badly broken, his left knee cap frac-
tured and 1t is feared that he received
dangerous internal injuries. In falling
he struck on the left side of his face and his left
shoulder. and these were badly bruised and cut.
When he recovered sufficiently, he was taken to
his hotel, and at l o'clock this morning was re-
ported as resting as easily as could be expected.
and it's thought he will recover.
His name is William La Hare, and he is a
French Canadian, living at Toronto, but nothing
further Is known or him than this, except that
he had been working with a partner named SIM
monds, who died a few weeks ago. The stage
hands, who put up his apparatus yesterday,
warned him that one or two of the loops were
unsafe, but he laughed at them.

The Metropolitan street railway ordinance as
passed by the Board Of Aldermen last night is a
signal triumph for the Johnson Street Railway
Company. The amendments killed the line to
the Atlas Works and handicapped the Mississip-
pI street line 30 that the Metropolitan company
will hardly undertake to build it. There is but
one line left to the Cleveland folks, the route
from the intersection of East and Morris streets
thence west along Morris to Madison avenue,
thence north along Madison avenue to South Me-

Superior Court delivered an opinion concurred
in by the other judges, overruled the demurrer
in The injunction suit of Samuel E. Perkins
VS.. Daniel W. Grubbs and others. This decision
will. probably, unless reversed by the Supreme
Court, completely kill the present city hall
scheme. 1t holds that the State donated the
east market square for market purposes, from
which it cannot be diverted; that the ordinance
providing for a city hall is in conflict with the
purp? ees for which the ground was donated, as
well as of the provisions of the will, and hence
void; also, that it is in conflict with the State
law relative to drawing money from the treas
ury. An abstract of the opinion is to be found
