PERSONAL ITEMS. A dispatch from Rome announces that Cardinal Sforza of Naples is believed by many to have the best chances of succeeding Pius who is dangerously ill and has received the last sacraments.

But the Cardinal is dead, since the above was written. He was 67 years old, and was made Cardinal in 1846. Rev. John Allen of Maine, known as "Camp Meeting John Allen," attended his 270th camp meeting last week. Ex- Mavor J.

Wingate Carr of Bangor, now in the eighty-first year of his age, has been enjoying the luxury of whooping cough during the past summer. Ex-Governor Crosby of has been quite ill, but is now recovering. General Lew Wallace has preferred a claim for $125,000 against the Mexican Government for services rendered during the reign of Maximilian. Mr. D.

L. Moody, the evangelist, showed some stock at the Hampden county fair. Among other animals shown was a fine thoroughbred Jersey heifer and a flock of Shropshire Down sheep, descendants of stock imported from Manchester, England, in 1875 The weight of the imported buck is 260 pounds, and he sheared fifteen pounds of wool last spring. The ewes sheared nine pounds each, and the yearling lambs thirteen pounds each. It is understood this stock was a gift to Mr.

Moody by an English friend. The successor of the late Rev. Wm. H. Lord, D.

who occupied the pulpit of the Bethany Congregational Church in Montpelier for over twenty-five years, and who died last March, was ordained and installed on the 27th. The new pastor is Rev. John H. Hineks of Bridgeport, Conn. He is a graduate of Yale College and of the Dartmouth Theological School.

The Rev. Randolph Campbell, D. pastor of the Prospect street Congregational church, Newburyport, will close a forty years' pastorate this month. On Sunday, October 7, he will preach his farewell sermon to his people, and on the following day there will be commemorative exercises at the church. Ex-Minister Washburne was to be publicly welcomed home to Galena, last Tuesday.

Rev. Dr. Webb has returned to the city much improved in health. The Crown Princess of Germany and her imperial husband are anxious that their eldest son, Prince William, should have the benefit of a long residence in England, "the only country," says the amiable Princess, "where he can learn how to become a gentleman," and a house has been taken up for him in London. The funeral of Major General Custer takes place at West Point, October 10.

The remains will be accompanied from Poughkeepsie N. to the military post by a guard of honor selected from the West Point Cadets. Golden weddings are sufficiently rare to make the occurrence of four in one day's paper worthy of note. On Thursday, Sept. 20th, Mr.

and Mrs. M. Babcock, Natick, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Jaquith, Gloucester, and Mr.

and Mrs. V. Wilder, Jamaica Plains, in this State, and Mr. and Mrs. F.

A. Holcomb, Bradford, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedded life. The same paper also notes the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. J.

P. Cleveland, Braintree, Vt. The day previous, also, it noted the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Seth Nutting, of Augusta, and Mr.

and Mrs. A. Tennant of Hartford, Conn. There must have been an epidemic of weddings, this time fifty years ago. THE OLD SOUTH meeting of the executive committee on the Old South fair was held on the 21st.

About twenty members of the committee were present beside representatives of other towns. It was stated that a letter had been received during the week from a lady in Durham, N. offering to send a donation of pressed ferns, and that Mrs. Bartlett of Portsmouth had also offered to give readings in aid of the object. It is hoped that a table from New Hampshire will be organized.

Much encouragement had also been received in Connecticut. It was reported that the fruit rooms on the corner of Beacon and Somerset streets had been very successful, and that the custom had steadily increased, owing in part to the very low prices which had been asked. The ladies in charge would be very grateful for donations from friends in the country. It was voted that the committee would in future meet every Friday in the church at 11 o'clock. HIGGANUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

This Company have established a branch store in Boston, at No. 38 South Market Street, to be under the management of Mr. J. A. Smith, a gentleman who has been favorably known a number of years past A8 one of the leading men in the Ames Plow Co.

They intend to introduce their goods into the New England States, making this locality their headquarters for this trade. Their manufacture comprises all kinds of farming implements and tools, of the latest improvements and best kinds, made from the best materials, and warranted to be equal to all others. An announcement in this paper invites the custom of persons who desire any such goods. THE AMES PLow Co. announce that they will hold another auction sale, next week, 11th at whieh will be offered and sold to the highest bidder, any articles in their stock.

The sale will be positively on that day, fair or foul weather. The World Abroad. CABLE DISPATCHEB. THURSDAY, Sept. London Times' financial article says: Business is very dull and inactive; nothing but complaints are heard on all sides of immovable stagnation.

There is only too good reason to believe that the nation must prepare for a further struggle before we regain prosperity. The India Office invites tenders for a loan of £3,000,000, payable in seven years, bearing interest at four per cent. The Paris correspondent of the News states that instructions have been telegraphed to Prefects to interdict the colportage or placarding of Thiers' posthumous address. The Times' correspondent at Paris telegraphs that the electoral period, namely, that in which publie meetings may be held, has now been open two days, but there has been no excitement in consequence in Paria, where meetings are not necessary, ne the success of the Republicans is alinost a foregone conclusion. In the remote provincial dis- tricts, however, no idea can be forined abroad of the bitterness already arising between the political parties.

They are like two hostile nations confronting each other and ready to come to blows. Never before did this painful animosity attain the intensity to which it has been growing since the 16th of May. From the statements of special correspondenes concerning the operations in the front and rear of Plevna, it seems probable that the Turkish accounts are correct that Plevna was revictualled and reinforced on the 23d instant by twenty battalions of infantry, two batteries of artillery, 2000 cavalry and an immense quantity of food and ammunition. Several correspondents mention that rainy weather is impeding operations. The Daily News correspondent in front of Plevna says that since the day that Skobeloff was driven from the redoubts he had captured there has been no fighting of serious consequence.

The Roumanians, however, have persisted in making useless assaults on the second Grivica redoubt. Osman Pasha's position is now believed to be secure and the impression at Constantinople and Sophia is that the Russians and Romanians are withdrawing gradually from the attempt against Plevna. A further levy is made on the Russian landwehr; 52 batallions are now proceeding to the front. Generals Skobeloff and Todleben left Bucharest on the 26th for the army. A special to the Times from Cettinje announces that Goransko has surrendered to the Montenegrins.

FRIDAY, Sept. in the Bank of England decrensed £143,000 during the week. The proportion of Bank reserve to liability, which last week was 438 per is now 434 per cent. Specie in the Bank of France has increased 2,600,000 francs during the week. The Financier states that late Wednesday the German Government agent announced per oz.

as minimum for further sales of silver. The Daily News' correspondent, lately before Plevna, telegraphs from Bucharest, Wednesday night, that the Romanians have been succesful in the attempt to capture the second Grivitza redoubt, after having sapped close up to it. They displayed great gallantry and suffered severely. The Times Bucharest correspondent, telegraphing Wednesday, makes no mention of the attack, but says that the Roumanian trenches have been pushed to within fifty yards of the redoubt, and an attack must therefore be imminent. The correspondent of the Times at Shumla confirm the report of the retreat of Mehemet Ali to his former position on the Kara Lom.

As the Turks permitted this news to pass it is doubtless true. The News correspondent at Zgalince telegraphs: "Discontent and discouragement are greater in the Russian army even than I expected. I have not spoken with a single officer who does not regard success as hopeless. While the personnel of the headquarters staff remains unchanged no improvement seems likely. The health of the army is still fair, but it is evident that a few more days of cold and rain would cause much sickness.

I predict that half of the army will be invalided soon after bad weather really sets in." At Goraneko the Montenegrins took 300 regular prisoners and captured three cannon and 500 rifles. The Montenegrins have also occupied Piva, captured Fort Crkvica, and now hold the whole territory as far as Fotscha. They have totally burned Bilek and the surrounding villages, after sending the sick, wounded and non-combatants to Trebinge. SATURDAY, Sept. London dispatch says the Russian campaign is considered ended for this season, and that the heavy rains now falling on both sides the Black Sea preclude any serious injury to the Russians by the Turks.

Dissatisfaction is reported in the Russian ranks at the course and result of the campaign. The retirement of Mehemet Ali behind the KaraLom seems to indicate that the Turks will be satistied to maintain their present advantages and depend on the winter to force the Russians back across the Danube. A Shumla special says the movement is partly because the recent rains rendered it difficult to bring up supplies, and partly on account of the Russians massing considerable force on the Lom. It would appear from this that the idea of holding the country between the Lom and the Jantra is abandoned by the Turks. Thus it once more becomes possible for the Russians to blockade and isolate Rustchuk.

The army has probably been supplied for the winter during the past month. Mehemet Ali's right will again lie about Kazelevo with Rasgrad as his base, while his left will extend as far as the defile south of Osman-Bazar, being within easy support from Shumla. Correspondents with the Czarewitch are not sanguine of his ability to force the line of Kara-Lom, notwithstanding the arrival of several divisions of the Imperial Guard. Snow has been falling in the Shipka pass since Monday, and is now ten centimetres (four inches) deep at the foot of the Balkans. The Times Bucharest letter says: There is an abundance of wheat and barley remaining in Bulgaria.

Every hamlet is crowded with immense stacks of these grains, while a very large crop of Indian corn is awaiting the husbandman. Very little of the crops raised this year in Roumania have been touched by the Russians; consequently they have provisions in abundance for man and beast, and if they can surmount the difficulty of obtaining fuel they can winter in Bulgaria very comfortably. MONDAY, Oct. Paris dispatch says the list of official candidates for election to the Deputies is now all but complete, and placards have been issued by the Prefects for the various arrondissements. The placards are headed "Candidate of the Government of Marshal MacMahon, President of the Republic." An analysis of these lists show that the Marshal's candidates are divided into 131 Legitimists, 83 Orleanists and 298 Bonapartists.

The remaining 20 arrondissements being in and around Paris are without any official candidate. There may, of course, be some slight errors in this classification, but there can be no question as to the general result, namely That the President of the Republic has been made to ask the electors to return a Chamber composed of three-fifths Bonapartists and two-fifths Royalists. The report is renewed from Constantinople that Osman Pasha has defeated the Romanians before Plevna. The Porte has refused to permit the transit of timber across the Danube for housing the Russian wounded. The Standard's Bucharest special says that Gen.

Todleben's opinion of the situation at Plevna has been laid before the Grand Duke Nicholas. It is understood to declare that siege operations on the most extended scale are requisite for the capture of the place. The Czarewitch visited Gorny Studen Saturday for the purpose of relinquishing the command on the left flank and resuming command of the Imperial Guard. The second Turkish convoy for Plevna has returned to Orkani, the Roumanian cavalry having captured eight wagons of grain. The Standard's correspondent with the Turkish army telegraphs from Plevna that Osman Pasha's losses from the Russian cannonade were exceedingly light, but on the day he retook the redouhts on the Loftcha road he lost 3000 men.

On Sept. 23 there were only 1900 wounded in Plevna. A dispatch to the Daily News dated Veribica, Wednesday, says the Roumanians mean to push their trenches to within thirty yards of the second Grivica redoubt before commencing an assault. They are just commencing their fourth and final parallel. The rain is continuous and the mud in the trenches fearful.

The weather is also very cold, but the officers and men stick to their posts with pluck and resolution. The correspondent thinks the Roumanians are sure to carry the redoubt, and says that were the Russians advancing as rapidly on their side Plevna would fall before a fortnight; but the Russians seem completely at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no head. They are awaiting reinforcements, which are arriving slowly and which when all here will hardly be more than will cover their losses by battle and sickness during the last two months. I think history offers no such example of a splendid army in such an utterly helpless condition.

The News' Berlin correspondent says a party of military surgeons, on special leave, departed yesterday for the Russian headquarters. They belong to some of the best regiments in the German army. TUESDAY Oct. Times' Calcutta dispatch says the famine report for Madras is still highly faorable. There has been a good rainfall throughout the Presidency.

Agricultural operations are active, and the summer crops nearly harvested. The outturn of the southern districts is fair-in the north small. Prices, however, have not yet fallen appreciably, The number on the relief works has decreased 64,839 during the week ending Sept. 22, but the number seeking gratuitous relief increased 120,000. Reports from Bombay are also favorable, but rain is still wanted.

Reports from Bombay are also favorable, but rain is still wanted. Reports are bad from Seinde, Central India, Rajputana, and the Punjaub. The Times Madras correspondent says the registered deaths for the present year to the end of June are 370,000 above the average. This, according to the opinion of district officers, does not represent more than twothirds of the actual mortality, and we have further to add deaths which have occurred since and have not been officially fallen reported. Not less than 750,000 persons have victims, and even these will probably be increased by the time the famine and its afterwave of suffering shall have finally passed.

The Paris correspondent of the Times telegraphs: "It was rumored last night that Duke de Broglie and M. Berthaut had resigned from the French Cabinet. The report, for the present at least, is unfounded, but the alarm it created was very remarkble. The apprehension of a forcible coup etat by the Government is so great that the resignation of Broglie and certain of his colleagues known to be opposed to such measures, would be considered a preface to a violation of the law, though it is hard to tell in whose interest such a violation would be. I know from a perfectly trustworthy source that the Empress disapproves of the Government's course since the 16th of May.

The Prince Imperial is also said to have lately expressed a similar disapproval to the interviewer. He declared that he would not throw impediments in the way of a regular government. It is certain that the its opinion members of the think of Cabinet a itself de is force divided. in case Some of de- of coup feat at the elections. Other and the non-Bonapartist Conservatives contemplate a second dissolution.

But I repeat with the certainty of truth that the Senate will not support a dissolution simply to help the Government. A special to the Times from Constantinople says the Porte has at last succeeded in overcoming the opposition of the military authorities and the Geshoffs have been brought to Constantinople. It 19 hoped their lives are now safe. The Times' correspondent at Vienna says: -The resolution come to at the Servian Cabinet councils is to ask the Porte to withdraw her troops concentrated near the frontier. As a refusal of this demand is almost inevitable, it is believed in Belgrade that Servia will be ready to take the field by the date announced at the Russian headquarters, namely, the 15th instant.

Here, however, it is helieved by no means impossible that the Servians, despite the incitement of Russia, will await the resuit of the operation before Plevna. There is trustworthy information that Osman Pasha repulsed a Russo-Roumanian attack on his front and left, inflicting heavy losses. Also that he attacked the Russians on the Lovatz road and recovered several positions. The Russian Telegraph Agency prints a Bucharest dispatch which declares that mediation is impossible. A solution of the question between Russia and Turkey must be sought for in the battie field.

Diplomacy may intervene. A later dispatch says Gen. Todieben succeeds Gen. Zotoff as chief of staff to the Prince of Romania before Plevna. FROM THE PACIFIC COAST.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. committee appointed by the Grand Jury to investigate the records of the Probate Court of Salt Lake county report that from September 1876, to Sept. 1877, upwards of 300 decrees were granted, and 80 per cent. of that number were applied for when both parties were non-residents and beyond the jurisdiction of the court. There 18 reason to believe that other county Probate Courts of the Territory were likewise engaged in this class of divorce business to an equal if not greater extent; 150 cases are complete in detail, with places and residences of plaintiffs and defendants, date of complaints and names of attorney, and when given.

This last shows that the attorney appeared in only 67 cases. SALT LAKE CiTy, Sept. 30 Orin Porter Rockwell, accredited chief of the Danites, was indicted yesterday by the grand jury of the first judicial district at Provo, for participation in the Altken massacre, in the central part of the territory, in 1858.

CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA. NEW YORK, Sept. advices state that both the German and the United States Ministers who waited upon the Nicaraguan Minister Rivas relative to the trouble between the Germen Consul and the Government of Nicaragua were curtly treated, and Rivas, after appointing an interview, failed to meet them.

It is said the miners of the Lehigh region have demanded an a advance of ten per or they will suspend work October 1. The resumption of those of the Wilkesbarre region on the same date will offset the suspension. The drought in Vermont has lessened Rutland's water supply so seriously that a town meeting has been called to consider a remedy. Uptown customers are sometimes unable to draw water, and the firemen would be helpless in case of fire. A dispatch from Pembroke, Quebec, says that bush fires at Wilberforce are raging and considerable property has been destroyed, consisting of barns, grain and fences.

A child belonging to a German family WAS burned to death. to The large barn of Daniel A.

Sydney Meyers, President of the Merchants', Farmers' and Mechanics' Savings Bank of Chicago, which suspended a few days since, has been indicted, arrested and jailed in default of bail in $200,000. The officers of the defunct Protective Life Insurance Company of that city have also been indicted. A dispatch from San Duval, Illinois, says a train on the Illinois Central Railroad was thrown from the track at three o'clock A.

25th, killing seven passengers and injuring a number of others. Masked men were seen by the passengers from the car windows, a8 the moon was shining bright, but after the accident they could not be found. It is supposed they intended to plunder and rob the passengers, but were frightened away. Nelson Sheldon of Sheffield, who recently escaped from jail at Pittsfield and was recaptured, again escaped on Thursday afternoon, 27th, and has not been retaken. He was at work in the jail yard, with a fiftypound ball and chain on his ankle, but he managed to get it off with a stone, and, tearing a board from the woodshed, he escaped as before over the wall, and has not been seen since.

17 The torpedo experiments at Newport, R. 28th, were very successfnl. The Board, together with several other naval officers, were present. The principal experiment was the blowing up of a vessel with six 100- pounders, filled with dynamite, equal to 4800 pounds of powder. The vessel was blown to atoms.

Experiments were also made with various kinds of spar torpedos, and two mimic battles took place in the harbor. The graduating class proved itself remarkably proficient. The dwelling of John Perry, about three miles from Hydeville, was discovered to be on fire at about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, 26th, and was totally destroyed. It subsequently transpired that Perry and his wife had quarrelled during the day, and the woman agreed to give her husband $200 to leave her. At night she informed him she would not do it.

Thereupon Perry threatened to seek vengeance and keep her from enjoying the homestead. He wrote a letter, saying he intended to fire the house and his bones would be found in the ruins. When the fire enveloped a portion of the house he was seen to leap from the rear window, and in the morning his body WaS found about forty rods distant with a bullet shot through the heart. He leaves several children. Captain Samuel Gross of the schooner Commonwealth was found dead in the cabin of his vessel, at Atlantic wharf, Rockland, on Saturday afternoon.

The Commonwealth sailed from Rockland, with lime for Boston, on Thursday, Captain Gross and two sons, aged respectively fifteen and twelve, being the only persons on board. That same evening signs were discovered that the lime in the hold was on fire, and the vessel was plastered up and the cabin closed. They all remained on deck till 4 A. when, at the suggestion of the father, the boys lay down to sleep. At 6.

A.M., when they awoke, the father could not be found, and they believed he had fallen overboard and Was drowned. The brought the schooner back to port, arriving on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, the vessel's deck-load was removed, and one of the men on board, on looking through the cabin window, discovered the captain's body within. Deceased doubtless went into the cabin for something, closing the companion-way slide over his head, with the design of excluding the draft of air, when he was overcome by the carbonic-acid gas from the lime on fire and I asphyxiated. to There are over 200 students in Phillips Exeter Academy, a larger number than 'ever before.

Justice Miller delivered a decision in the McKee case at St. Louis Friday morning, 28th. It overrules the demurrer of the Government to the answer of the defendant, and the suit therefore fails. The case can, however, be appealed to the United States Supreme Court, but District Attorney Bliss has not yet decided whether he will take such action. At Rockville, 27th, as a carriage containing John H.

White, his mother and a man named McVey was leaving the cattle show races, young White, who was driving, fell from the wagon, and the horses started at a furious pace, throwing Mrs. White out, killing her instantly. McVey was also thrown out and injured about the head, also internally, and will not recover. He is about 60 years of age, and Mrs. White was about the same.

Both men were intoxicated. Two important cases are to be tried in the Supreme Judicial Court at Alfred, this week. The suit of James E. Black of Saco vS. the York Manufacturing Company of that city to recover for damage caused his ice crop in the Saco river.

Black alleges that the company allowed certain poisonous gaseous substances to run into the river, ruining the ice. The damages are laid at $50,000. Also the suit of Maria L. Ford vs. the City of Biddeford.

The plaintiff fell on an icy sidewalk and claims $15,000 damages for injuries. Some nice law points are involved in each case. Business Notices. BRONCHITIS. From John Flagg, of Bennington, N.

H. "Three years since I was very much reduced with a dreadful cough, which resulted in Bronchitis, affecting me so severely as to render it difficult to speak in an audible voice. To this was added severe night sweats, and I was fearful of going into a decline. After recourse to various remedies, to no purpose, I made use of DR. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, a few bottles of which fully restored me to health.

Since that time I have had several severe attacks of cough, but the BALSAM has always removed them. I always keep it by me, and should not know how to do without it." 50 cents and $1 a bottle. Sold by all druggists. Marriages and Deaths. MARRIED.

HIGGANUM M'F'G 2140 38 SOUTH MARKET ST. This Cut Illustrates the Manner of Using DR. PIERCE'S Fountain Nasal Injector, 01 DOUCHE.

This instrument especially designed for the perfect application of DR. SAGE'S CATARRH It is the only form of instrument yet invented with which fluid medicine can be carried high up and perfectly applied to all parts of the affected nasal passages, and the chambers or cavities communicating therewith, in which sores and ulcers frequently exist, and from which the catarrhal discharge generally proceeds. The want of 611C- cess in treating Catarrh heretofore has arisen largely from the impossibility of applying remedies to these cavities and chambers by any of the ordinary methods. This obstacle in the way of effecting cures is entirely overcome by the invention of the Douche. Its use is pleasant and so simple that a child can understand it.

Full and explicit directions accompany each instrument. When used with this instrument, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures recent attacks of in the Head by a few applications. CATARRH SYMPTOMS -Frequent headache, discharge falling into throat, sometimes profuse, watery, thick mucus, purulent, offensive, etc. In others, a dryness, dry, watery, weak, or inflamed eyes, stopping up, or obstruction, of nasal passages, ringing in ears, deafness, hawking and coughing to clear throat, ulcerations, scabs from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired or total deprivation of sense of smell and taste, dizziness, mental depression, loss of appetite, indigestion, enlarged tonsils, tickling cough, etc.

Only a few of these symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, when used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, and accompanied with the constitutional treatment which is recommended in the pamphlet that wraps each bottle of the Remedy, is a perfect specific for this loathsome disease. It is mild and pleasant to use, containing no strong or caustic drugs or poisons.

The Catarrh Remedy is sold at b0 cents, Douche at 60 cents, by all Druggists. R. V. PIERCE, M. Prop'r, BUFFALO.
