We do not hear that Chairman Peck has decided what course he will pursue witli regard to the manner of selecting delegates to the republican state conven tion, which meets iu Harrisburg on the 4th of February, and we do not suppose he will thank us, inasmuch as the REVIEW is not an organ, for any suggestions in regard to his duty but it seems tous that an attempt to get a delegate convention together at this time would prove a fail ure, and that the most judicious plan is for the chairman to convene the standing committee, which consists of one mem ber from each election district, and"have them choose the delegates. The commit tee men ought to understand the senti ment of the party on the presidential question, and be competent to select del egates who will fairly and honestly rep resent the wishes of the republicans of Bradford; if the men selected prove rec reant, " shoot them (politically) on the spot." But remember this county is not the entire state, but that there are some two hundred and fifty otherdelegates, who will have to be consulted in the state con vention. The will of the majority must be acvuiesced in. Mrs. Hayes' attire at the New Year reception at the White House will be matter of interest to female readers. Her dress was of white brocaded satin, wrought with gold threads. The V shaped front of the waist was filled in with lace and her sleeves were of duchesse lace with embroidery of seed pearls. The court train of satin was long and square; rose-buds were worked upon it with threads of gold. The plain white satin petticoat was trimmed with bias folds of satin divided by a fringe of gold aud pearls. Broad bands of gold embroidery separated the petticoat from the court train. In her dark hair she wore a silver cemb and on her neck a pendant—a cameo head of the President set in diamonds. The difllculty of filling the English mission, it now appears, arises from the fear of expense to which the appointee will lie put in carying out his diplomatic duties. It is said it takes at least $20,- 000 a year over and above the salary to maintain the American Representation relatively with those of other nations, in London; and that there are but com paratively few gentlemen to be found who being in other respects qualified, have this amount to spare. Dr. M. M. Griffith of Bradford reports some astonishing results obtained by the administration of crude petroleum to consumptives. He claims that out of twenty-five cases of well-marked tuberculosis so treated about twenty were fined; the rest have been materially benefited, and Hone have been under treatment more than four months.
