State Central Committee, The members of the Republican State Committee are requested to meet at the Lochiel Hotel, Harrisburg, on Wednesday, the 21st day of June, at 2 o'clock p. ni. Important business will be transacted at this meeting, and a full attendance is de sired HENRY M. HOYT, • Chairman A. WILSON NORRIS, Setretary. lION. WM. S. STINGER has our thanks for valuable Public Documents. THE Democratic Convention will con vene at St. LOnis on the 27th'inst. PoLmcer. conventions are all the rage. Democrats and Republicans arc putting themselves in battle array. HON. W. W. KETCHAM has been ap pointed United States District Judge in the place of Hon. Wilson McCandlass re tired. This is a most excellent selection. THE news of Mr. Blaine's severe illness, on last Sunday, caused much excitement in political circles. Over-mental strain and excessive heat were the principal causes, ZACH CHANDLER is after Jake Thomp son with a. little suit for $2,000,000 abstracted from the Treasury when that functionary retired to join, the Con federacy. Ho*. GEORGE H. ANDERSON, Senator from Allegheny, withdrew his name from before the Senatorial Convention, and Joseph M. Gsszam has been nominated. The Senate will lose an efficient member in Mr. Anderson. RUSSEL ERRETT, Of the Pittsburgh Commercial, has been nominated for Con gress in the Pittsburgh District. Maj. Errett has labored hard for the Republi can party and highly deserves this sub stantial recognition of his many services. WE have received The Evening Dispatch published at York, Pa., by Hiram Young, esq. It is a very neat penny daily, chuck fall of news, both local and general. It ought to succeed, and, if it is possible, our friend Young caw.-make ~the riffle. We wish him all gie:sucvess imaginable HON. B. F. MYERS, of the Harrisburg Patriot, on his way to Bedford and Som erset, dropped into our office on Monday last. We tried to persuade him to go on to : Cincinnati, but his eyes - are set on St. Louis. He expects;the Democratic pres idential' babe to be christened "Hancock." OVA half-starved contemporary, down the railroad; appears to be very much an noyed:lsminute the papers, authorized by law to do the county printing, have charged living rates. It, no doubt, would be will ing to; do it at any price and consider it a regilar godoend. Dire necessity can alone be pletided in extenuation for its unprofion al conduct. Necessity, it is ad mitted, ,knows no law. 317McNEIL, esq., has withdrawn from the firm of McNeil and Fleming, Ed itors and Publishers of the Huntingdon Monitor, and it will henceforth be publish ed by S. E. Fleming & Co. We regret that our friend "Mac" should so soon di vest himself of the cares and vexations of the Ohtir Editorial, because be has scarce ly had a decent taste of them, but be this as it may, we wish him well and abundant prosperity in the calling of his choice. Oust latest adviees from Cineinnat. would point to the nomination of lion' James Gillespie Blaine. of Maine. He appears to be gaining strength, while sev eral of his rivals are groWing weaker. The Pennsylvania delegation, we are sorry to say, is not doing the square thing with Governor llartranft. The course of many of the delegates has had a tendency to be little us. MESSRS. STENGER & DUNCAN have sold the Chatubersburg Valley Spir;t to J. C. Clugston and in the last issue make their exit. These gentlemen have con ducted that able Democratic organ for many years and they retire with the plaudits of their friends. John M. Cooper, esq , has been selected to edit the paper under the Dew management. His extensive ex perience in the editorial chair warrants us in saying that the Spirit, under his direc tion, will be ably and energetically con ducted. We wish all concerned pecuniary success. Wn have been asked, many times, since the last issue of our paper, what the cetr action of hostilities between the Globe and the JouarrAL means? To this we reply, that it simply means that, in the future, we shall try to treat each other as gentle men, and that instead of 6ghting the bat tles of others, at our own expense, we propose•to look after the interests of the papers over which we preside. Prof. Guss meats to pursue that course which will best advance the interests of his paper, while we intend to do exactly the same thing. We have carried men, politically, at our own 'expense, quite long enough, and now if 'they desire our services, the party, must help to bear the burden,-; TweutY years. of faithful ,services to the Republican party, without a single reward, outside of our legitimate business, entitles us to a decent consideration at its hands. THE END OF THE GUSS-DURBOR ROW FIGHT. EDITOR As it will be seen by the following extract from the Huntingdon Journal of this week, the long and bitter fight that has been waging between Messrs. Guss and Durborrow, editors of the two Republican newspapers in that. county, fir the benefit of a few politicians and to the disadvantage—pecuniary and other wise—of themselves, is at an end. We con gratulate our contemporaries upon the close of their unprofitable war, and hope and be lieve that in a short time they will both he relieved of their financial difficulties, brought on by their zeal in the cause of their supposed friends, and will soon sail on their journalistic course as smoothly as ducks on the bosom of a calm lake. One thing, at least, we are con fident of: that they will realize in a very short time that every hound will not have them by the neck, but that they will find themselves in positions to stand before all men and say, "We will work fur what we believe is for the best iuterests of our country, our county ; our town, our people, and ourselves, regardless of the individual interests of any played-out politician or political bummer, who cannot succeed on his merits, but only keeps on the surface by the quarrels of his betters." If they carry out their good resolutions, we will wager that in three months' time there will not be a politician of either faction but will be glad to recognize their influence and be anx ious to have their support.—Johnstown Tribune. At last the rival editors of Huntingdon county, Guss, of the Globe, and Durborrow, of the Journal, have learned common sense.— This week they shake hands over the "bloody chasm," admit that they have been fools in the past, and promise to behave themselves in the future. We are sincerely glad to chron icle this fact and trust that the peace now proclaimed may prove no delusion, but an ,honest intention on the part of these men to confine themselves to the sphere of legitimate journalism and to be at peace with each other in the future. They have hitherto been the tools of heartless politicians ; let them be their own masters hereafter.—Hollidaysburg Stand ard. The Republican editors of Huntingdon have agreed to hold more amicable relations with each other in the future. Elses here will be found conciliatory words from Prof. Guss of the Globe, and herewith we give the response of Mr. Durborrow of the Journal. The editor of the 'Johnstown Tribune appears to have been tho medium through whom the armistice was effected, after telling both parties of the madness of their course.—Chambersburg Re pository. Prof. Guss, of the lluntingdon Globe, says the Chambersburg Repository, uses the follow ing sensible language in the last number of his paper: "It is time to inaugurate a better state of affairs in this county. Let our friends join ns in allaying the animosities of the past. It is true vengeance is sweet, but it is not christian, and we leave it with God to whom it belongs.'' The editors of the Huntingdon Globe and Journal have concluded to bury the hatchet and smoke the pipe of peace. Wise conclu sion.—ilarrisburg Telegraph. PROF. Guns has favored us with several copies of his Lecture, delivered at the "Farewell Meeting," held in the Old Lutheran Church, in Huntingdon, Pa., on the evening of May Ist, 1876, entitled "Remember the Days of Old." The Pro fessor evidently spent much time and labor upon his subject and the result is a very interesting historical account of the rise and progress of the Lutheran Church at 'Huntingdon. It will be sold at 25 cents per copy, one half to be applied towards building a new church. SPEAKER KERR, at the present writing, is rapidly sinking, and, in all probability, before our paper goes to press, will have paused away. -We are extremely sorry that tlu. last few months of this excellent man's life, have been made miserable and wretched by the tongue of the slanderer. On Monday the Committee reported com pletely exonerating him from the imputa tions heaped upon him. Mr. Kerr, it is stated, since the above was put in type, will recover. ----- Sudden Illness of Blaine. THE EXCITEMENT AND ANXIETY TOO MUCH FOR THE SPEAKER-A SPEEDY RECOVERY EXPECTED. WASHINGTON, June 11.—This morning a short time before 11 o'clock ex-Speaker Blaine left his residence in company with Mrs. Blaine and slowly walked to the Con gregational church, which is about three fourths of a mile from their home. Just as they reached the church he complained of a severe pain in the head and dizziness, at the same time placing his hand upon his head. Entering the vestibule he was so overcome with sudden illness that he came near falling, but this was prevented, and he was assisted to a scat on the steps, when he exclaimed : "Oh, this pain." A conveyance having been procured, Mrs. Blaine returned with him to their home, he then being unconscious. A. bed was brought into the front parlor on which he was laid, and messengers having been sent for Surgeon General Barnes and Doctors Bliss,. Cox, Verdi and Pope, they soon ap peared and lost no time in cupping the spine and resorting to other counter irri tants and revulsive enemas. From elev en o'clock in the morning till four in the aftdhoon, Mr. Blaine lay unconscious, breathing irregularly, his wife and physi cians 'and other friends remaining at his bedside all that time. The physicians said that Mr. Blaine was suffering from hyper excitement of the brain and the nervous excitement superinduced by recent events in which he was the prominent actor. be sides the symptoms were aggravated by the weather, which to-day were oppressive. It will be recollected that several weeks ago Mr. Blaine was confined to his house some days by a slow type of malarial fever, but appeared before the sub-jud:ciary com mittee, who were investigating charges against him, before he had fully recovered from the effects of the disease. This, with the excitement on his part both before the committee and in the House, the large number of persons daily in, conference with him; and his attenion to extensive correspondence, including many telegrams from all parts of the country, especially during the past week, Ae loss of rest and other causes. produced the strain upon his mind that caused his sudden illness to day. Secretary Bristow called at the house as soon as he heard of Mr. Blaine's illness, as did also Secretaries Fish, _Robeson, Chandler, Postmaster General Jewell, Gen eral Sherman, Senators Ferry and Paddock, General Garfield, and other gentlemen of prominenCe. The sympathy for Mr. Blaine was not confined to his political friends, many Democrats having called to inquire as to his condition and regretting his sudden illness. About four o'clock thiS afternoon Mr. Blaine's consciousness gradually returned, when he recognized his wife and inquired of•her what was the matter, and she replied that he was ill, and after that, he for the first time turned over in his bed unaided. His breathing now was better and his pulse stronger. The enema produced some effect, but not to the extent desired, and therefore the physicians applied electricity. They say that the symtotns are favorable, 'although he does not appear fully restored to con sciousness. This evening one of them said in private conversation the attack was clearly a case of sunstroke or heat-stroke, to which Blaine was rendered liable on account of his recent illness, overwork, excitement and loss of rest. The physi cian further said, that at first he was ap prehensive that the attack might be ap oplectic, but an examination disclosed no symptoms of that disease. For several hours numerous visirors were admitted, but after the doctors had adininistered the enema the rooms were cleared so that the patient. might rest. 1)R. POPE'S DIAGNOSIS, Dr. (I. W. Pope, an eminent prat.' itoner of this city, who has been Mr. Blaine's family physician in Washingtun during the past eight or ten years and is i n ti m itely aequainted with his ,•,ni4itittion :in I Ii" 1;1 perament, furnishes the following dia g nn...;,, of his condition at 8 o'clock this even in.r. Mr. Blaine's case is one of simple cere brat depression produced primarily 11 great mental strain and secondarily by the action of excessive heat. There is no up opletic congestion or effusion, nor any symptom of paralysis. Ile has free use of his limbs and the pupils of his eyes are normal. He has spoken several times and recognizes his family. Ile lies quiet, breathes naturally and is disposed to sleep. He has responded excellently to treatment, and I have every reason to anticipate a speedy and complete recovery. WASIIINGTON, Juno 12.—This evening Mr. Blaine wrote the following message to be telegraphed to Congressman Hale at Cincinnati : WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13, 1876- 8:10 P. M.—Eugene lltle, Cincinnati, Ohio : I am entirely convalescent, suffer ing only from physical weakness. Impress upon my friends the great debt of grati tude I feel for the unparalleled steadfast ness with which they have adhered to me in my hour of trial. (Signed) J. G. BLAINE. Impeachment of Jacob M. Thompson A nice Array of Charges—Robbeq, Murder, Arson, Piracy, etc—His Com plicity in these Crimes .admitted— A Specimen of How the Democrats Run the Government. We are indebted to the Washington correspondent of the Pittsburgh Commer cial for the following : A few days ago liepresentatives Lamar, of Mississippi, and Casey Young, of Ten nessee, called upon Secretary Chandler as the bearers of a communication from Jake Thompson, Secretary of the Interior under James Buchanan. The letter, of the ex- Secretary quoted a paragraph from a Wash ington paper, to the effect that Secretary Chandler had said that under the rulings of the Senate, Thompson would be subject to impeachment, and that he subsequently stated that he made the remark simply in jest. Thompson, it appears, wished to know the Secretary's views definitely on the subject. The Secretary stated that he would reply in a few days. He immedi ately had the facts connected with the ab straction of the Indian trust fund bonds collected, and also received from the Comp troller of the currency an official statement of Thompson's account, in which he is represented as a defaulter to the Govern ment to the amount of eight hundred and seventy•one thousand dollars. Secretary Chandler states to day that he had now answered the letter of Thompson, which was a warrant for his. arrest. The Secre• tary stated that he intended to prosecute him, not only for the principal but for the interest, which would now amount to about two million dollars. The other suit of one million dollars, the Secretary says, is for the recovery of the unexpended balance of money which reverted to the United States upon the collapse of the Confederacy. This will embrace the funds sent to Jake Thompson in Canada to organize raids in to the United States. Some of.the specific items against Thompson are robbery and murder in the St. Albans raid, incendia rism in the attempted burning of New York and other American cities, the at• tempted dissemination of loathsome and contageous diseases in American cities by Dr. Blackburn, and piracy in the seizure of a steamer to be used in the release of the Confederate prisoners at Camp Doug lass. The Secretary stated that Thomp son's complicity in these crimes is admit ted in a letter written by Mr. Thompson, and found in the Confederate archives in the War Department. • FRENCII STRATEGY.—W hen the French were in Mexico the stage robberies in the vicinity of Monterey become almost as frequent as they are getting to be between here and Kingbury. With the practical common sense for which the French are distinguished when they go about killing people, the French general at Monterey devised a plan that worked like a charm. Ile picked out half a (keen of his smallest Zouaves and dressed them as females, and put them in the stage. Each unprotected female had a short breech-loading carbine concealed under his pettipants and they covered their demure faces by veils. Of course the robbers surrounded the stage, and the ladies, with an excess of feminine modesty, climbed out of the vehicle and fell in line with the rest of the passengers, when of a sudden an epidemic broke out among those Mexican patriots, fur each lady, on an average, destroyed about three of them, and the rest lost all taste for female society and went away disgusted. The ladies returned to town in high glee, but for a long time the Mexican bandits entertained such a lofty veneration for the gentle sex that an old bonnet and a shawl displayed conspicuously in a stage secu red it immunity from interruption.—San Antonio Herald. Letter from Ohio. NATIONAL MILITARY Montgomery County, Ohio, j June 6th, 1:476. Thinking that you would be interested in know ing something of this place and its surroundings, I will attempt to favor you with a few items. The Home is situated in the Valley of the M ama, distant 3i miles from the city of .Daytun, with which it is connected by railroad and street cars. The Home occupies an elevated position, commanding a fine view of the country surround ing. The Home is the gift of the nation to leer disabled defenders, and is kept up by government appropriations and by its own individual efforts in the way of manufactures. The grounds are beauti fully laid off in landscape gardens, lawns, parks, walks, (Lc., with three lakes inside the grounds. These are all well stocked with fish and various kind of water fowl. The animal park is beautiful, and in it are deer, elk, antelope, bear, wolves, fox es, rabbits, and even a beaver, besides scores of do mestic fowls, pigeons, tee. There is also a bird house, filled with singing birds of all kinds from all parts of the world. There is a Library and Read ing room, where there are books of all kinds and papers from all parts of the United States. (I lie not see Huntingdon represented.) There are two Libraries, the "Thomas Library," the gift of Ma jor General Thomas, late, U. S. A., and the **Putnam Library," the gifts of Mrs. Mary Lowe'l Putnam; to these are added many other books, the donations by different persons, and the walls are adorned by many line works of art. Thee Li brary and Reading room are in the same building as the headquarters, but on the second door. The Headquarter's Building is a fine work of archite.:- ture. It is built of brick with mansard roof and is large and commodious. The hospital is anoth er fine building, in fact the finest about the Home, and will hold some live to six hundred patients. The Dining Hall is an immense building capable of seating eleven hundred men at one witting, is grandly furnished and is light , ,d at night by nine ty gas-jets. The Barracks, fee* the men, are all the most comfortable kind of buildings, three sto-' rice high, very commodious and well furnished, and heated in winter by steam. All the cooking is also done by steam. We have also an Amuse meet Hall, in which are ten-pins, bagatelle„ tee., a, music hall for concerts, dramatic performances, die. the Home church is a model of beauty, being built of grey limestone in the la test style, with buttresses a. , ,out every eight feet, stained glass windows, with ivy creeping around them and over the old grey stones, adding greatly to its beauty. There is a bell-tower in which is a clock. The bell is made from cannon captured from the rebels and weighs twenty-five hundred pounds. The inside of the church is beautiful, and will compare favorably with town or city churches anywhere. There is service of sabbath school and preaching on every Sabbath. Chaplain Earnshaw, who is known to many through the Juniata valley, is our resident minister, and as such is one of the officers of the Home. He is a genial christian gentleman, and his services and many good qualities have endeared him to the in mates of the Home. The Home is under the su perintendence of Col. E. F. Brown, a one-armed veteran, who lost his arm at the battle of Fair Oaks, Na. lie is an much to 111:1ktt t 1 1 ,7 llurur attraeti% e and pleasant.

The cemetery is laid out, and each grave it is a neat heatl-boar.l with the name of the comp, Hy and regiment of deceased nea tly painted on it ; the graves are kept neat and the groom::: a-e adorned with flowers and shade trees. In the centre of the cemetery stands the monu ment crested by inmates of the Home to their fal len comrades : it is not. quite complete, but will be when the statue, representing a sot tier upon guard, upon the top is finished. The Home is one of the finest institutions of its kind in this or any other country. • Men can have all the ordinary comforts of a home, medical attendance, .ttc. Pensioners can draw their pensions or leave them in the Treas urer's office to accumulate. (Jowl conduct insures good treatment. Scores and hundreds of visitors are here every week, from almost every place, and I must say, as every body else does who comes here, that the place is well worth a visit. There are three - spleudid springs inside the grounds. One is called the "Veteran Spring," one the "t; rot to," and the other the "Chalybeate," the waters of the latter aro very strongly impregnated with min eral, and are said to be quite wholesome. I may write more, at another time, about this place and its history. Beautiful views can be had in the Reading room for small prices. The views were taken by an artist from Richmond, Indiana, and they are all kinds and all styles, and are well taken, and can be framed or used with the stereo scope. My own health is good, and the weather is pleasant, but warm. Huntingdon papers are welcome here, but few county papers are seen from any State and none I believe from Pennsylvania. Any editor wishing to contribute a paper for the use of the Home has only to send to "National Military Home," Ohio, and they find apiece in the Reading room. In Huntingdon, I suppose, the war cry is "ho! to the centennial." Well, the centennial only comes every one hundred years, and not many of us will live to see one in 1976, so our only chance is to visit the present one. I have not said anything of the school, or the workmen, or the amount of fare, or the kind of provisions furnished by Uncle Sam. All this I will keep for another time. The best way to know all about this place is to visit it, and then a person can see for themselves. Times, in this part of Ohio, are dull, but all the would-he prophets are predicting good times after the Presidential elec tion. As for politics, there is not much of it in the Home, although all the intnatescan vote in Mont gomery County, Ohio. With many kind regards to all, I remain, Yours, Le.,... Letter from lowa. GRINNELL POWSREIK CO., lowa, June 3rd, 1870 J. R. DURBORROW—Dear Editor :—Grinnell is a town of about two thousand inhabitants, situated along the Rock Island and Pacific R. It., in about as pretty a piece of country, I think, as ever man beheld. It was settled about twenty years ago by Mr. J. E. (lrinnell who still lives to see the town grow up around him. The town made slow progress until about eight years ago when emigration commenced setting very fast, since that time land has risen from fif teen dollars up to fifty dollars .per Here. There are men here who now own splendid farms that came here without means to build and actually put in their first season living in a straw stack.— The soil is deep and rich and will give good yield to all kinds of grain, Lut is especially adapted to raising corn ; sixty bushel of shelled corn to the acre is the average yield; wheat runsabout twenty bushels to the acre ; barley about thirty-five; oats fifty. Politics, which generally bring a good crop in Huntingdon, do no good here at all. They are Republicans to a man. Democrats are more of a curiosity than Indians. They held a meeting some time ago and there was one Democrat there who offered twenty-five dollars for any man who would come out and acknowledge that ho voted the Democrat ticket, but there was no one in tiled of that amount of money. I have heard notking of even the coming campaign, except one man said "Maine" one day. The town is strictly tem perance. There is no kind of liquor allowed to be sold not though you get a prescription from the doctor. There are two high schools in the town, and throughout the country thet e are good pro visions made fur schooling—there are school houses every two miles, which are well furnished with patent benches, good blackboards, well heated, and, in fact, everything convenient and comfort able. Markets are about the same as in Hunting don county, some things are a trifle higher and some things lower. Lumber is, if anything dif ferent, a little cheaper than you get it, but stone are very high, they sell at eighteen dollars a cord at the R. R. Times are claimed to be rather dull here this season. They are dull or bright just as the crops are good or bad, and last year they had the worst crops ever raised here, but times for laborers are still better here than they we e east when I came away. They pay one dollar for farm labor per day, one dollar and a half, if not boarded. Carpenters are paid three dollars, ma sons three and a half and four, there is a very poor chance for any one except they intend to sweat at their labor. Situations of clerkthlps, &c., arc well filled and others waiting. The settlers here are made up of mon from almost every state. From Pennsylvania, or, in fact, from right at home in Huntingdon county, we have Mr. John Work, of Porter township, Mr. Samuel Dunlapp, and five families of his children, Adam Womer, Scott Eck heart, James Baum. Some of them own splendid farms and all in good living circumstances and on a safe way to own farms. There were no trees here when first settled but farmers have all planted poplar or maple for wind breaks and shade around their houses and they give the country a home like appearance. Mr. John Dickison come from N. R. some eight years ago, settled about four miles from Grinnell, planted maple trees around his house, which are from six to eight inches in diameter and make his yard comfortable and pleasant. If any of your readers wish to know anything about this part of the country I will take pleasure in tolling them all I can find out about what they wish to know. M. P. S. The Denouement. Says Mr. Blaine to Mr. Knott : "You cannot me deceive; You dare not, Knott, swear you did not A telegram receive ! "From Mr. Caldwell did it come, Now do not, Knott, deny. Oh, say not, Knott, you gut it not, Fur t'would, Knott, be a lie!" Says Knott: "I will not now confess, Nor I will not deny. Some day I will this knot unknot, And will you notify." The fiery Blaine broke out in wrath, No chill Blanc, sure. was he! Says he: "I will not, Knott, permit Such naughty trickery !" Says Knott : "You are before the Board, And bored we won't be here." Says Blaine: "I mean that Board plar.e, And wake knots disappear." Then Knott of pistols loud did tall:, And called the members fools, And geese, and snakes: but kept within The Parliamentary rules! Then Blaine retired. with victory lluslie I, For well he'd played his rule. But not so Knott. Ile felt that he Could crawl through a knot-hole. Which Shall I Take ? This is often a serious question with the in valid. He finds the market flooded with pro prietary medicines, scores of which are rec ommended as certain cures for his peculiar ailment. Ile reads the papers, circulars, and almanacs, and finds each sustained by plausi ble arguments setting forth its virtues and spe cific action. The recommendations are as strung fin• one as fur another. The cures claimed to have been wrought by one are as wonderful as those claimed to have been wrought by another. In his perplexity and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to reject all. But it should be borne in mind that this condition of things is one that cannot be rem edied. In a land where all are free, the good— the truly valuable—must come into competi tion with the vile and worthless, and mast be brought to public notice by the same instru mentality, which is advertising. In such a case, perhaps the only absolute proof that a remedy is what it claims to be, is to try it. The "test of a pudding is the eating of it." "Prove all things, bold fast that which 119 good," is the apostolic injunction. There may, however, be stronger presumptive evidence in one remedy than there is in favor of another, and this should he allowed its due weight. A due regard to this may save a vast amount of experimenting and a useless outlay of mousy. As presumptive evidence in favor of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, the Proprietor de sires to say, that they are prepared by a new and scientific process by which the virtues Of the en de plants and roots are extracted with out Um use of a particle of alcohol. Not a particle of this destroyer of our race enters into the composition of either his Golden Med ical Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This consideration alone ought certainly to rank them high above the vile compounds saturated with alcohol. 'Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vi one gar, which are everywhere offered for sale. Again, they are of uniform strength, and their virtues can never be impaired by age. They are also made from fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their appropriate season, when thr• . q urr trt,h with prupt•rti•• 1,, support of these claims, the, ii;lluw•ing testi mony is offered : 11.
