...- ....,- ....e coming campaign -,
such an earnest manner that the heareT IS
impressed at once with the Importance OF
the subject. Strange as it may seem the
Republican Members are the ones who
compose the Presidential discussion par
ties. The Democratic Members when
asked for their opinion on the outlook, as
a rule reply that they haven't given any
serious thought to the subject, and there
fore are not qualified TO speak. On the
other hand the Republicans are not at all
averse to an expression of opinion, and
they are beginning to lay plans for the
coming campaign.
Congressman Rowell of Illinois, chair
man of the minority of the Elections
Committee in q conversation with The
Critic reporter on what he thought would
be the policy of his party in the coming
campaign, said: 81 find from the observa,
tions Eve made and from the published
utterances of prominent politicians, that
the Republican party is slowly coming to-
gether with the view of forming one COM
pact body, and that it will enter the fight
with all differences settled and singleness
ofpurpose seldom seen. Possibly num-
Der of States will send instructed delegates
| to the convention, but the impression
| prevails, and efforts are being made in
| that direction, that the majority will
| come uninstructed. You may be certain
| that whoever is chosen by the conven.
ton will receive the hearty support of the
Republicans.
Now, when you ask me who is TO be
| nominated, you PROFOUND question that
at this time cannot be answered Oh
course, each section of the country has 9
| fayorite son that il would like to see hon
| ored with the nomination, but the feeling
now prevalent is Nominate man thai
will carry us OH TO victory, no matter
where he comes from, and such man We
will nominate.
"These talks of opposition to Cleve
lands denomination | do not regard a.
serious; there is no question in my mine
of his not being chosen to head the Demo
cratic party again. The question to bt
settled in the Democratic convention vii
be the strongest man to name for secon(
place on the ticket. To me il looks a
though he would come from either Hi
nois, Michigan or Wisconsin. If there
| appears any good ground to hope of car
| rying any one of the above-named State
by selecting the tail of the ticket from
either one, you may bet the one that ap
pears most likely of being carried will fur
nish the candidate. The names men
toned are General A Il. Stevenson, un
doubtedly the most popular man in tn,
party; General Black, General Villas ant
| Don Nj, Dickinson"

How to Tell Whether Dog Is Really
and Truly Mad.

How to Tell Whether Dog Is Really
and Truly Mad.
A physician has recently printed an
article entitled: How to tell mad
log and how to treat hydrophobia.
Now, that seems very simple matter.
You should never have any thing on
your mind that you want to tell mad
dog: We can tell a mad dog any thing
we have to communicate on a postal,
OF we could send him the information
by a rabid telegraph messenger, the
young man who makes every body
mad with whom he comes in contact,
but never gets mad himself In dag
hosing case of hydrophobia, dog
with wire muzzle is the most sensi-
tive subject, but any dog will answer
TO see if he is mad, pull his tail Pull
hard 1t is best to pull with both
hands. If the dog jerks away and
runs bowling down the street,
he is not mad. He is only scared.
But if he turns around and bites
piece out of your leg, and tries to bite
out another larger piece before he
o"oAAO"o IAo ulSL Out, u6 IS lldu.
Then you have the hydropho bia. Now
follows the treatment of hydrophobia.
This peculiar form of madness origi-
mated with the camel. The camel, you
know, can go forty days without
water. In treating hydrophobia, offer
it any thing but water Hydroph obia
in the North is the same thing as
snake-bite in Texas. 1t is believed by
the best ply sicians that hydrophobia
RACES as fearfully in the dead of winter
as in the summer. What a wise Provi-
dence is this! because when the snow
is on the ground all the snakes are
dormant and the thirstiest man in
America could not even bite himself
at the Geological Garden. Hydro.
phobia is contagious. One man who
has it bad can communicate it to
whole crowd of men. 1t is n OF always
nor necessarily fatal, although the
next morning the victim usually
wishes that it ''had of been. "-Robeu

 The Ashuelot road connects with the Con- necticut River road at South Vernon and runs twenty four miles through the valley of the Ashuelot river to Keene, N. H. It is operated under 8 ninety nine years lease by the Con- necticut River road.
 In the opinion of the directors it will be for the interests of the latter road to own tho stock, even if the Connecticut River should continue to operate the Ashuelot on it's leases. (,
 It was unanimously voted to accept the act and to authorize the directors to effect the transfer of stock and to take action to se- cure proper legislation for the consolidation.
