Another Cure for Diphsheria.

The London Lancet, an excellent author
ity, says: few years ago, when diph
liberia was raging in England, a
gentleman accompanied the celebrated
DIR. Field on his rounds to witness the so
called wonderful cures which he perform
ed, while the patients of others were drop
ping on all sides. All he took with him
was powder of sulphur and a quill, and
with these he cured every patient, without
exceptions; that is, he put a teasponnful of
-four of birthstone into wine glassfu of
water and stirred it with his finger instead
of using a spoon, as sulphur does not read
ily amalgamate with water and, on the
sulphur becoming well mixed. he gave it
as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger, as sulphur kills every
species of funusg in man. beast and plan.
in a few minutes. Instead of splitting out
the gargle he recommended swallowing it,
and, in extreme cases, where he was called
Just in the neck of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow the garg-
ling he blew the sulphur through a quill
into the throat and after the fungus had
shrunk TO allow of it, then the gargling.
He never lost patient from diphtheria.
Or, if the patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal put il on a shovel, and sprinkle
a spoofnl or TWO at time on the coal, let
the sufferer inhale il, holding the head
over it, and the fungus will die.

Two Republican COnsressmen.

At the Republican conference at Johns
town, after long continued balIoting with
without any result on Tuesday afternoon.
the cOnferees of j. ID. Hicks, of Blair
county, and Alvin Evans, of this county,
offered a resolution for an adjournment
until 10 O'Clock on Tuesday night at Har-
riSburg. to submit the question to either
State Treasurer Haywood or Auditor
General MyliE, the treasurer or auditor to
cast one vote for each county of the dis
trict
The resolution was opposed by the
Somerset and Bedford conferees, represent
ing +. j. koOser and Joseph +. Thropp.
and the chairman, Oliver knepper, of
Somerset, refused to entertain II or submit
to an appeal from his decision. The ma
jOrity of the confeeees. however, voted for
the resolution, Secretary Ogle, of Johns
town, assuming to act as chairman, aad
Immediately the Hicks and Evans confer
ferees rushed TO the depot to catch the
train for Harrisburg in time to reach a re-
suit before l. o'clock on Tuesday night
The kooser and Thropp conferees re-
ma!ned and nominated Mr.. Kooser for
congress and adjourned sine die. Mr.
kOoser at once secured a certificate of
nomination and hurried To the train for
Harrisburg, where he filed his nomination
papers. The Kooser adherents declare
that koOser's nomination will be sustain
ed by the Dauphin county courts. @
Harrisburg dispatch of Wednesday
morning says: When the Republican con-
gresSional conferees of the Twentieth dis
trict, composed of the counties of Cambria
Blair, Somerset ana Bedford, met at
JOhnstOwn this afternoon and failed to
break the deadlock, a resolution was
adopted inviting State Treasurer Hay
wood to participate in the conference with
four votes, one for each county. Then the
candidates and conferees started for Har-
riSburg, but not before the three Somers ct
conferees got together and nominated T. j .
kooser. When the party reached Harris
burg at 1O:30 O'Clock Mr.. Haywood was
ready and al IL o'clock the conference was
again convened. Joseph f. Thropp. the
Bedford county candidate, refused TO go
into the conference and went To consult
his counsel. After waiting a reasonable
time the Blair and Cambria conferees aud
half the Bedford delegation, with Mr..
Haywood, proceeded to ballot. On the
first ballot Congressman Hicks, of Blair.
was renOminated, Mr. Evans, the Cambria
county candidate. going to Hicks and max
ing the nomination unanimous. Kooser's
certificate of nomination was fled at the
state department, but its validity will be
contested in the Dauphin county court.
