The Central Blaine and Logan Glee Club sung
nine songs before the arrival of the speakers,
who were detained, and fairly covered them
selves with glory, being heartily applauded
Captain Horn, of the Escort Guards was sur
prised by being presented with beautiful sword
and belt, as testimonial, from his company and
other friends.
DR.. p. H. Cronin was then introduced. He
said that he had come from Chicago to say
word in behalf of one who had been maligned
to the Irish race He did not come as a poll
tician but as friend to his fellow countrymen,
whom he wished to know and understand the
issues of this campaign, and not allow
themselves to be led blindly by unneces
sary prejudices. The Doctor said that
he was proud that he was an Irishman,
proud that he was an American citizen, and
still prouder that at last he had thrown of the
trammes that bound him to the Democratic
party and had come out for James q. Blaine
ICheers. So far as the Irish are concerned
political avalanche has gone over the country,
and they are no longer mere voting cattle, bound
to a certain party. lrishmen are thinking and
investigating and the result is many are coming
over to the Republican party. These investiga-
tions have exploded the Democratic charge that
the Republican party was the Know nothing
party, or thatit was opposed to the interests of
the Irishman They have discovered the falsity
and absurdity Of the charge that James G..
Blaine was a Know-nothing.,
The Doctor then proceeded to enumerate
Grover Clevelands political sins-yetoes that
favored the monopolist and oppressed the work

 Between 9 and 10 o'clock last Satur- day evening the bell at the engine house sounded an. alarm of fire which soon brought quite number of men and boys together; the hand engine was taken out and as it passed up the Main street towards Water street where the fire was supposed to be in progress, the center of the village was aroused and the excitement became general all along the line. By the time the engine reach ed the termination, where the bounds of Water street are supposed to begin, a large number of persons had collected, | all appearing eager to feast their eyes on a burning building. But 1t only proved to be mattress which had. been set on fire by the explosion of lamp in an upper chamber over the grocery store of Andrew Corcoran. The occu- pant of the room with great presence ot mind and no fear of smartiEg fingers, had courageously thrown the mattress through an open window, thus happily averting what might have been a serious conhagration.

The man who coughs and waits for the cough to go of its own accord, saves the price of bottle of potaska at the risk of his life.
 Among the numerous systems the one most to be thought of is the human system. Treat it with potaska when diphthera is in vogue.
 Of course you're hoarse and cross. l wish you'd go to Alaska. You'll never improve till you make a move and get yourself some potaska.'
