THE conference committee of the
independent republicans, rs they style
themselves, met in New York yester-
day, and indulged in free comments
on the situation. Letters from prom
inent republicans all over the country
were read, Avery general and uuan-
imous expression OF the views Of the
correspondents and gentlemen present
was that the ticket should be Ed
munds and Lincoln. They all agrsed
that Blaine, Arthur and Logan were
a bad lot; that it would not
do to nominate any of them
that they had bad records and
could not carry New York; and these
Independent gentlemen were afraid
of their records, and of their policy il
elected.
There seems TO be but one way to
centent these independent gentlemen.
Let them dictate the policy of the
party, its nominations as well as It's
disposition of patronage. Then LEI
the machine element furnish the
money and enthusiasm to carry the
elections, and, if need be, the corrup
ton and use of soap" Thus all will
be lovely. The corrupt elements will
be kept in the back ground, for use
where needed, and the independent.
will help themselves to the patronage
with austere dignity and supreme
selfishness.

The West Royalton correspondent of
the st. Johnsbury Indec says: Last
Saturday about half past four, whirl-
wind passed through Royaton Corner,
doing considerable damage to trees,
fences, etc. 1t first appeared on Charles
Streeter's farm about half a mile from
the building. Streeter had one horse
wagon about half full of potatoes, when
the wind struck lit took the wagon body
of the wheels, whirling it end over end
and carried it about thirty rods, spiling
the potatoes i'll every direction. The
reach between the forward and hind
wheels was twisted off and the rocker
wood was split open, the hind wheels
were carried about ten rods and the
forward ones were tipped over. The
course of the wind was southeast; it
tore up everything it its way for about
half mile and then broke up. When
il crossed Hutchinson's field it passed
one board fence and tore down about
twenty-five rods of another. Fully one
half of the boards are nowhere to be
found.

while sewing on a machine, my wife was
taken with severe pain in her side, which
was soon followed by hemorrhagcs from
her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she
could neither eat or sleep. and In few
weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton.
Her stomach refused to retain any food, and
the physician thought oDp of her lungs was
entirely gone. AT final consultation Of
two physicians her case was pronounced
hopeless. l tried Brewers Lung Restorer
