HARDING, Pusident. F. W. THAYER, Secretary. Hie Mrxieau Ti ade. The deputation of American business trad ers now iu Mexico report that great interest is there taken in the project to establish more intimate commeicial relations between the two countries. The inducements be!d out by the Mexican government are said to be aatislactory and our business men are greatly pleased at the outlook. There would seem to be uo good reason'why we cannot supply the Mexican market iu many respects as wed as it can be done by England, France, or Germany, countries which now command nearly all the trade of our Southern neighbor. The opening would ceitainly be ot great ad vantage t6 us a3 setting up another market for our surplus productions and the wares turned out by our manufacturing industries, and presenting a new field lor the judicious employment of American capital aud skill. It cannot well be other than a benefit to Mexico, tor it wiil-eive her the nse nf eanilal which she sorely needs, and enable her to lake advantage of the great natural facdities ol her soil. The desire ot the Mexican gov ernment is to open a Dew railway system, buildiDg a Hue across the country from ocean to ocean, to develop her mining interests, and lo impiovener soil. All this calls for money and she looks to U3 for the means. A few years ago our capitalists and specu lators would not have cared to make any in vestments or undertake any enterprises in Mexico; lor neither life nor property was st cure theie. The country was a country ot brigands. A great change has conic about ol lale. The Diaz government is thought to be firmly established, social order has been re stored, the lawless classes are under control, an 1 the industrial outlook is belter thau evei before. There are yet risks to be takeD, it is true, but our adventurous people will have little hesitation iu taking them. Washington specials say that Mr. Cau non, the Utah delegate; is arguing strongly against the enforcement of the ptdygamy aci of 1862, just declared constitutional hy the Su preme Court. He contends that the Govern ment, by allowiug this act to remain a dead letter, has justly barred itself horn sudden action under it. He urges the great hard ships that wilt ensue if lamilies are to be brokeu up and children born since 1862 are declared illegitmate. He thinks that by lenieLt action the Government can now eas ily assert its power in the luture iu Utah and enforce this particular law. But for the past, from 1862 to this time, he wants Congrtss to pass au amnesty act, declaring that the act ot 1862 shall not take effect till so declared by the act of amnesty. After that the Mormous would not make complaint, and bethinks the law would he generally regarded. He argue* that under ihe difficult circumstances sur rounding the case it would bo a wise step for Congress to take advantage ol the situa'ion, to show the Mormons that it is disposed to deal as leniently as possible, and at the same time give such notice as none could ruisun dertaud fjr the future, that the law of 1862 will herealter be rigorously enforced. TnE committee on Ways and Means was fc.Ajr luviu'U.iouj l ui.guttji au u3tucu i port in favor of issuing three per cent h inds in multiples of teu dollars, exchangeable for four per cents In six months; also bill author izing the Secretary to exchange six per ceu's, presented by corporations or individuals, for four perceuts and pay three months’ interest; also to authorize the receiving ot greenbacks for customs; also a bill to relieve insolvent banks from taxation and to exempt from tax ation the deposits of savings banks invested in government bonds and the deposits of indr viduals to an amount of two thousand dollars. A new woman inventor has come to the front. She was discovered the other day in Jersey City standing near the shut guard gates of a railway crossing. As the train passed and the gates were lifted, she gave a loud shriek aud rushed across the track. Oi course the police seized her, aud forced her to explain. It appears she had been troub led with an acbiug lootb. Not having fifty cents lor the dentist she tied one end of a string to the tooth aud the other end to tin gate aud wai'ed developments. The plan succeeded and the tooth came out.

Congressman Robinson, of Iudiana, does not give a flattering sketch of Senator Voor hees. That gentleman is, he says, “one ol the most superficial men in American poli ties. He does more talking aud less think ing than any prominent man I know of. As a politician he is unscrupulous aud uurel a ble. He always waits to see which the popu j lar side is going to be, aud theu he joins in* the hosannahs. He has but one great virtue in a political sense, and that is sticking to his i party, whether it be right or wrong.” Henderson ot Missouri is said to be the coming man lor the Berlin mission, aud I Attorney-General Devons for the Justice ship. Attention is called by the Chicago Tribune to the fact that, of the 30 Senators who voted lor the salary grab, every one of them has been retired to private life except two—Bayard and ltinsom. Not one of the other 34 is now a Senator. Of the 26 Re publican Senators who voted for that robbery not one has been re-elected. Ip wo are to believe the Democratic wit nesses called by the Potter committee, the negro is terrorizing Lou'siana and riding about like Death on a white horse, fr'ghten mg the poor whites out of their scanty wits. But no one is really expected to believe that story. Democrats are only required to make beiieve they believe. That “bloated monopoly” known as the Traders’ National Bank, of Bangor, baa gone out of business. Isn’t it strange that a corporation which is coining money out of the blood of the poor should voluntarily de sist? B. B. Blanchard, the man accused of forging names to the Louisiana returns, is dead. As dead men tell no tales it is pretty safe to tell tales about them. So far this week the Sub Treasury at New York has added $165,000 to its stock of gold. Is that the break dowu of resumption that has beeu prophesied When the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen. Get what comfort you can out of that old saw. “Porte Crayon” (D. H. Strother} is to be appointed c msul-general to Mexico. New York Fashions. [Harper’s Bazar. 1 Transparent fabrics made over satin are chosen for ball dresses this winter, and white is preferred to colors. The fine Lyods talle is as popular as ever; bat there are also diaphan ous gauzes, grenadines, and the sheerest mus lin. Tbe genuine India mnslio, such as writ ers of fiction array their heroines in, is worn again. This is soft sheer muslin with uneven •hreads, like liueo, so fine and thin that the lustre of satin is not dimmed when covered wi'h it. To prove that it is the poetic draper; of the far Erst the modiste shows tbe brand of 'be India firm wrought on one end of tbe goods in gilded hieroglyphic be-ide great bands of gorgeous red.

[Bangor Whig A Curious Decision. There was a bit ot grim hnmor in a certain judicial decision of Judge Kent. I think the Court was in session at Bangor. Ths case was the State vs. Cowdry. Slid Thomas Cowdry was accused of baviog committed burglary, and a bill had been found by the Grand Jury. Upon trial it appeared that Cowdry had been employed with a gang of lumbermen op the Penubtcot river, where he bid cut hia way through a tent belonging to another party, and stolen certain articles of clothing, together with a sum of money. It was brought out by evidence that tbe tent in question was of firm rubber ciotb, and mnch more comfortable than the common log huts. In the rear pait of this tent bad been a chest, the locatfou of which the prisoner had care fully noted, and on a certaiu night, while he thought the inmates slept, be cat his way through the fabtic and committed tbe theft. A young man of the crew had be u aw ike, however, and had witnessed the proceedings, but had held his peace a; the time for fear that Cowdry, who had the name of being a bad man, would kill him. This witness, iu Court, de scribed the whole thing, and no amount of badgering on the part of the counsel for the ueieuKtt uouiu auane uiiu. iu ttuswer iu iuu question of bow much of tbe defendant’s body was at any time within the tent, be said that he could swear that he saw Cowdry’s right arm and right shoulder and the whole of bis head inside the tent, So much was proved beyond a doubt But the counsel for Cuwdry, a lawyer from down the river, named Lascom, spread him self. “My client is accused of having feloniously broken his way into and entered the dwelling of a certain individual. Never mind what fur ther is charged against him. Did he enter— bodily enter—this dwelling? It is ridiculous to say so. A witness says he put in an arm, and, perhaps, his head. What do we mean b.v entering a place? Mast not the feet stand within it?’’ And so the blustering pleader went on. He bad never, in tbe whole coarse of his life, heard anything so utterly ridiculous given iu seeming seriousness, as this charge. He pat it directly to the Coart if a man could be said to have entered a dwelling when, iu reality, he only looked in—when only his head was in, and an atm to steady him, peibaps. Could be have entered a dwelling when by far the larger part of hie body, with all tbe organs of locomo tion, were all the while ont of doors? Aud if not. then the indictment fell to the gronnd; for it charged that his client actually en tered'tbe said dwelling. For the honor of tbe Pine Tree State—for the credit of justice everywhere—he hoped the court would rule against any such monstrous perversion of fact. In bis charge to tbe jury, Judge Kent, with a grim smile, alluded to tbe plea of the prisoner’s counsel, and instiucted them th.t, if they were in doubt as to iha guilt of tbe whole mao, tbe; might bricg him in guilty as far as tbe; judged the evidence would warrant. And the jury, after a brief period of consul tation, brought in a verdict against Thomas Cowdry, the prisouer at the Bar, of guilty to tbs full letter of tbe indictment as to bis right arm, his right shoulder and his head. And the judge sentenced the arm, the shoul der and tbs head of said Thomas Cowdry to imprisonment at hard labor in the Slates prison for tbe term of two years. The prisoner might do with tbe remainder of his body wbv he pleased. The story was fold to me by an old resident cf Bangor for a fact. 1 knew Jody.eKent well, aiid Cfto vouch for his love ot tha humorous, though I do not, of course, dir assert that my lpformaot has cot 8tretQh©»*. the scene a very little. TUn nA-IL.lt. m _ __ vi mo tireal linnets. A Yeag of Trouble aud Peril. It eeetus unnecessary to have incurred the expense and trouble of a commission to in vestigate the causes of the pestilence (hat raged daring the last sammer in tbe sontbern states, when astronomers tell us that the yel low fever was only a premonition of tbe dire calamities to b$ ^xpetyed from physical dis tnrbances shortly to be initiated. The four great planets of the system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have a mighty iuflaenc8 in the solar economy, even thongh they re volve at immense distances from the center of the scheme. When one or more of these planets are at their nearest point to the sun, great disturbances are sure to take place from the increased attraction of the masses npon each other. Agitation on the solar surface is reflected to the system’s remotest bounds, and our planet bears wituesa to the solar on’.bnrst In terrific storms on lapd and sea, long-contin ued drought, failure of crops and const quent disaster, and pestilence in myriad forms. Ju piter, being the largest and nearest of the giant brotherhood,produces the greatest disturbances. So well is this fact established, that tbe son’s maximum year for spots aud general commo tions is crinoideot with Jupiter’s Dearest ap proach tr, bis surface. Many observers will remember tbs last recurrence of this period about 1869, when brilliant auroras illuminated tbe heavens, rosy protuberances flashed from the sun’s pbotospbere, and huge spots dotted his disc, -rhile evidences of intense excitement were visible od tbe Jovian surface, aud terres trial tempests, harricaues, and all manner of physical ills bore evidence to tbe malignity of tbe celestial conjunction. It takes Jujyterless than twelve years to complete a revolution around the sno, Satnm a little loss than tbirtv years, Uranus abont eighty-four years, and Neptune about one hundred and sixty years. The yearof maximum sun-spotscoincident with Jnpiter’s perihelion is looked upon as an epoch when all manner of evils afflicting hnmanity may be anticipated, and this direful period jo umj at uauu. a. mucn more lamentable period is also near at hand; pne of those eras that occur at intervals counted by thous ands of years is abnnt to take place. The four great planets reach their perihelia very nearly together, and the mighty planetery quar tette will pall upon the san with one accord. They will be at their nearest approach in the year 1880, or soon after, and the influence of their unweloome union may contiBue for sev eral years, Such a conjunction of forces has not occurred since the Christian era. What will the suq do, with his blazing sutface tossed into such fiery commotion! What will the earth do as she responds to every troubled pulsation of the great luminary! There is a fearful prospect ahead, and it may be, that the pestilence of last summer was bnt the shadow of events to follow in Its train. There is nothing for poor mortals to do but to take wise precautions and await results. Seed time and harvest have not y8t failed, aod the time for the earth’d deatruc tion will not occur in the present generation. A careful observer announces that the peri helia of threq of the great planets took place at the same time in the sixth and also in the six teenth century, and that the epoobs were marked by the occurrence of the most pestilen tial periods ou record. Every sensible person will understand when Jupiter, a planet whose volume is thirteen hundred times that of the earth, reaches its perihelion, b?iug then forty six millions of miles nearer the sun than when in aphelion, the increased attraction mast crest a commotion in the sun's seething mass, as well as in the chaotic elements of the planet. It is just as certaio that our atmosphere and temperature will be disturbed, and that the disturbance will be unfavorable to health and prosperity. In the same way it will be seen that the coincident peribelis of the four great planets will vastly iocrease the untoward influ ence. This period we shall enter upon before another year closes, and we can only trust that science and observation will do their best to avert the calamities threatened by the malig nant influence of the son and the four remot est membsrs of the system,— Prov.

Proposition to Give the Slate Lands to Aroostook. ApgubtA, Jan. 15. Tne Railroad Committee will give a hearing on the afternoon of January 29th, on the bill requiring con necting railroads to have a uniform rate of tariff on freight so that a shipper may choose his own route for sending lreight without regard to contracts that have been made between different roads. The committee will give a beating next Wednesday afternoon to the Boston Maine Railroad Company, on the discontinuance of their North Berwick branch. The Committee on Agriculture gave a hearing to several officers of the State College, in the interest of the institution, in Representatives Hall, this even ing. The report of the trustees shows that 101 students have entered the College for the fall course of four years, and several are pursuing special studies. These students are from all portions of the State. The College has sent out 100 graduates, most of whom have entered upon active and useful pusuits. A small beginning has been made in the shop in the instruc;ion on the Russian plan. The students have supplied their own tools and material to work with. Interested parties assisted, and the lumber being provided, the students made their own benches. An instructor was obtained from the Bos ton school of technology. Finally the students erect ed a building and have extemporized forges and have placed a small steam engine in the building. Skilled workmen will always be wanted. The Rus sian syBteni, which after Massachusetts, Maine is the first to adopt, promtses to come into use at a most opportune time. Its entire practicability and emi nent capacity for usefulness Lave been demonstrated both in Massachusetts and Maine. An expenditure ot a few thousand dollars judiciously applied to the construction and equipment of the necessary shop would be of great advantage to the young men of the State. The Treasurer’s report shows a balance in favor of the college of $675.18. There are unpaid bills amounting to about the same sum. The institution is therefore nearly or quite free from debt. With the application of most rigid economy in every de partment, an appropriation of $6000 will be needed to meet the necessities of the institution. There is urgent need ot more apparatus in the chemical labra tory, for the want of which the usefulness of the de partment is seriously abridged.

When the attack was first made by the Indians, who shot several of the guard, the bucks and squaws seized tbe papooses and fled to tbe bills, the soldiers pursuing and firing a volley into them. The Indians replied with volleys until they reached the hills and safety in darkness. The road was strewn with the bleeding bodies of bucks, squaws and pappooses. Tbe soldiers, who all along, from tbe officers down to the privates, bad treated them with tbe greatest kindness, were now aroused to tbe highest pitch of exasperation, and where tbe first shot did not dispose of tbe victim, a coup de grace was readily given by a final pistol charge.' Almost every one is shot through the head, and the attitudes of tbe dead are almost of every variety, some throwing their hands in the air wildly, some c.utching at their knives with a last effort, and others holding their firearms in a frozen, helpless clutch. One of the Indians fought so tenaciously at close quarters that his garments were Bet on fire by the pistol which killed him. Capt. Wessells regrets that any women or children were killed, but as the Indians were so huddled together it could not be helped. Thecomplete casualties of the troops are 19,5 killed and 14 wounded. The original number of the Indians was 140. Of these 70 are now in the guard house; bucks killed 22; squaws 8: children 1; wounded 6: missing 28.

THE TELLER COMM TEE. Illegal Voting anil Fraudulent Counting in New Orleans. New Orleans, Jan. 15.—In the Teller committee today Clement Walker, an attorney of New Orleans, testified concerning the election in this city that he believed the returns promulgated were not indicative of the results, the votes polled for the conservatives being counted for the Democrats. He charged gen erally that there were irregularities or frauds in the conductor the election and said, “I have sworn statements oi parties who witnessed the frauds.” The citizens party was denied representation at the polls on the ground that it was not a party bnt a faction. To judge from the class ot men appointed commissioners by the Democratic party a fair return of the vote was not expected. The counting of the vote at the polls was in most instances made in se cret or by men determined to elect the Democratic ticket and I am satisfied the statements of the vote at many polls made up for any deficits in the vote lor the Democratic party. Aside from the falsity of the made-up returns illegal votes were cast, there being a great deal of lepeating. The conservative party was organized lor the purpose of putting respectable men into office. Charles W. Johnsm, J. A. Johnson, David Young, Charles Lineoln and M. D. Randolph, all colored, of Concordia, testified to the general charges of intimi dation ond fraud in the late election. G. L. Watson ot Concordia, a member ot the Leg islature. denied in effect the charges made by the previous witnesses E. Keunell, (colored) a coroner Concordia, testi fied that there were seven men killed all colored. Held an inquest over six. Five were huDg and ono shot.

Mr. Vooibees submitted a resolution instructing he committee on Iudian affairs to inquire into the drcumstances which led to the recent escape of Chey mne Indians from Fort Sill, Texas, and their subse quent slaughter by United States forces. Agreed to. Bills were introduced as follows: By Mr. Anthony, appropriating money for payment )f bounty to officers and men ot flag-officer Farra jut’s fleet. Referred to committee on naval aftairs. By Mr. Burnside, authorizing the retirement of Gen, Averill with tho rank of Brigadier-General. Referred to committee on military aftairs. Mr. Allison, from the conference committee on tbe military academy appropriation bill, submitted a report which was agreed to, having been agreed to in the House yesterday. Bill now goei to the Presi- dent. The Senate considered bills on the calendar not ob* jected to under tho five minutes rule. Tho Home bill on Senate calendar for the payment j to officers and soldiers of the Mexican war ot tho j three mouths extra pay provided tor by the act of I July 19»b, 1878. led to a lengthy discussion. Mr. Edmuuds submitted an amendment to make tho act apply to those who served in the late war for tbe preservation of the Union. The bill was laid aside without [action and the Senate resumed the bill to amend the patent laws. A lengthy discussion followed between Messrs. Wadleigb, Conkling and Hoar in regard to the al leged unwise and illegal provisions in the bill. Pending thedtscu-sion the Senate went into execu tive session, and when the doors were reopened the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. The Certificates ol Deposit Bill Passed Also tbe Hill making U. Notes Re ceivable for Doties. The Speaker announced the regular order to bo the reception of reports from the committee of ways and means. Mr. Wood, chairman ot that committee, reported back the bill authorizing the issue of certificates of deposit in aid of refunding the public debt The bill authorizes tbe Secretary to issue in exchange for lawful money of the United States certificates ol deposit denominating $10, bearing interest at the auj vi v jrvi vvuvj huu vuuivtkiviv hv uuj uiuu »liiu accrued interest into the 1 per cent bonds authorized to be issued, and directs that the money so received shall be applied only to the payments of 5.20 bonds. Mr. Wood said that the bill would afford the poorer classes an opportunity of investing their small earnings where they would be safe and secure, and not subject them to the instability of private corporations. Mr. Kelly of Pennsylvania said that the only pre visions in the bill characteristic of a savings bank was that the government would receive deposits as low as $10. There was no other. The United States government proposed to engage the laboring people in a game of chance of which the law was “heads I win, tails you lose.” No laboring man could have any benefit from the bill. It would turn that elass into game iorsbvlocks that concentrated about the stack ezcha nges of the country. Mr. Banks was in favor of the general provisions bill, but if it went into operation its first effect would be to induce the depositors in savings banks to with draw their deposits. This would compel the savings oauna to go to their securities, they must foreclose their mortgages, and this foreclosure of mortgages and the Bale of real estate would take from the remaining depositors nearly the whole of the security they now had in the savings banks that were sound. Mr. Butler opposed the bill as a delusion and snare. The effect of it would be that a poor man might spend a day every month in procuring a ten dollar bond, that when he got fire of them together he might chonge them into a 4 per cent bond, and for that p ivilege ho would have spent five days and would have saved just 35 1-2 cents in interest. That was all there was of it. The debate was continued by Messrs. Hewett and Phillips against and Messrs. Garfield, Chittenden and Townsend in support. Mr. Springer of Illinois moved to lay the bill on the table. Mr. Bundy moved to adjou and the yeas and nays were ordered. It resulted yeas 78, nays 126, and the Hou at 4.10 o’clock took a recess until 7.30 o’clock. EVENING SESSION. The House resumed the consideration of the bill authorizing the issue *ot ’ertificates of deposit, the first vote being on the motion of Mr. Springer to lay the bill on the table. This was deleated and the bill was then passed, yeas 117, nays 72. Mr. Wood, chairman of the committee on ways means, reported a bill making United States notes receivable for duties on imports, Mr. Garfield stated that ho desired to offer an amendment providing that such notes bs receivable so long ai they were equivalent tocoia. (Cries ot no no.; no uiu not xjropuse lor one iu sum uu mo supply of coin to meet the interest of the public debt in case any calamity should happen to the country. Mr. Wood, acting as an organ of the committee, yielded to the introduction ot the amendment, and the previous question was ordered, Mr. Harrison of Illinois (to Mr. Garfield)—Ha3 the gentleman any doubt about the success of resump tion? Mr. Garfield-I haue no doubt of the success of re sumption unless by such a bill as this or some ether hostile legislation resumption is destroyed. The amendment was defeated, yeas 73, nays 125. Mr. Garfield—Believing the bill to be a serious at tack upon resumption, I move to lay it on the table. The house refused to lay it on the table, and it was then passed, yeas 154, nays 43. It eimply provides that after the passage of the act United States notes shall be received in payment of duties on imports. Mr. Wood also reported a bill to facilitate the re funding of the national debt, and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury in the process of refunding the national debt to exchange directly at par the bonds bearing 4 per cent, interest for the bonds com monly known as 5-20’s outstanding and uncalled, and directs that whenever all such 5-20 bonds shall have been redeemed, the provisions of this section and all existing provisions of the law authorizing ibe refund ing of the national debt shall apply to any bonds cf the United States bearing 5 per cent, or a higher rate of interest which may be redeemable, and that on any such exchange interest shall be allowed on the bonds redeemed for a period of three months. The main question being ordered, the House at 10.50 adjourned. THE RESUMPTION ACT. Btviug Authorized to Present His Amend ment to the Repeal Bill. Washington, Jan. 15.—The House committee on banking today authorized Representative Ewing to ofter the following amendment to the bill now pend ing on the calendar of the House, providing for the resumption act: Provided that the money hereafter received from any sale ofbonds shall be applied only to redemption of other bonds, beating the highest rale of interest ana subject to call,ana provided further that whenev er from time to tune the proceeds of the sales ofbonds shall aggregate $3,000,000 the Secretary of the Treas ury shall issue a call for that amount of bonds, to be redeemed, and the inteiest on bonds callelfor re demption shall cease in 30 days trom the date of such call, and provided further that all United States notes received in the treasary shall be reissued and kept in circulation without change in the aggregate amount of the several denominations existing on the 31*t day ot May, 1878, and it shall not be lawful to issue legal tender notes of larger denomination than $1000.

Tbe other day the Pkess gave the report of the County Treasurer aud County Commis sioners for the year 1878, and also a detailed statement of the cost of the Superior and Supremo Courts, aud the July Law term. The detailed statement of the cost of the jail, oonrt houee, printing, staionery, binding, jail work shop for 1876-77-78, the resources, liabilities aud debt of the counfy, aud estimates of funds to be raised by County tax for the year 1879 has just been ricsived. Iu the jail workshop accaun’ the profits f.,r the years 1876-77-78 w-rs $3,728 88. For 1876 SI 316.18, for 1877 82,253.40; far 1878 $129 30. The loss by bills rendered worthless from failures, was $832 47, making the net profits for thtee years $2,896.41. It will be seen by this account that there is a deficiency for tne year 1878, af.er dr ducting hills rendered worth less, wh'ch is attributable to the general de pression of business, the loss by failures and tbe shrinkage of values, for iu taking au acoount of stock December 31,1878, all articles wete appraised twenty per cent, less than tbe year previous. The stock an hand January 1, 1878, sold in consequence of a fall in prices for much less than tbe appraisal. There was ex pended for repairs and new machinery duriDg the year 1878 $500, and paid from e irnings of tbe shop in 1878. In the cost of stationery and printing it will strike every observer that $3,235 87 is a pretty large eum, and $1,191.72 a handsome allowance for towels, ice, repairs of furniture, new furni ture, room repairs, cleaning, water, gas, map, satety-vauit, care mnnicipal court, shades, table and miscellaneous. The heating item is $1,497.72 and the jinitor $600, bath included in tbe $4,191 72 The estimated tax to be raised is placed at 850,000. The estimated surplus oo hand is SIT,GOO, aud the estimated receipts from the courts 811,100, making a total of 878,700. Bepairs have been made on Marlin’s Point and Portland bridges the past year. No dis cision has been rendered in tin Pennell case. The expenses of the Snparior Coart have exceeded the estimates of the Legislative Com mittee about 85,000, while the receipts from fines and casts have fallen short of the estimates by the Committee 84,000, making the cost of the Superior Court 89,000 more than was estimated. A Severe Practical Joke. A short time ago a man came to Portland and invited subscriptions to a French reading aud recitation to be given in one of the public hails. He put his tickets at a high price, but there was a feeling that if it did come high they mast have it, and a number cf people attended. There was a noive'sal feeling after the reading that all bad paid dear for their whistle, bat like martyrs every subscriber bore bis disgust .in silence. The reader, however, was well sat isfied. He cleared 8200. From Portland the elegaut gentleman went to Bangor, and a story comes from that city that is quite amusing—to ns, net tbs victim. A lecture schema was o'gloized and the reader, the Sams elegant gett'eman—fjr ho had ic formsd the audience her9 that he was a gentle man, not a raider, after Its bad taken their dollars—was advised by a olique of j jkars he should get the name and subscription of a well known binker of that city. One of them then went to the banker and told him that a gang of bank thieves fram Montreal or their way to New Yo-k were in the city, and that the leader was visiting different well-known citizens’ places of business, in order to get the hang of the premises, under the guise of a Frenchman who wanted to give a French reading, and that be should be on his guatd. The Frenchman, or Italian—for it is shrewd ly suspected be Is more of the latter than the former—entered the banker’s office. He opened his subject iu h s usual airy tn inner, and the further ho got in his subject the more frigid the bauk.-rgrew. When he hid finished the ban ker kickea his visi.or intu tbs street and gave him a thorough pounding, and the more the Frenchman appealed, the worse pounding he received Whan, finally, the p -actica! joke was explained, it is to be hoped the ba'ker salved the matter over by tasirg a few subicriptiou ticket5, bat if ha attends) the reading the Frenchman got his revenge. .TIL’SIC AND THE OR AHA.

The Maine Oil and Guan o Ars iciation held its ninth annual meeting atYonng’s Hotel, Bostou, on Tuesday, Jan. 11th, 1879 The report of the different manufacturers show an increased catch of 59,761 barrels over 1877, without any increase cf equipment for catching. The old board of effictrs were uuau'mously elected as f illow?: President—Ed ward T D-blois. Secretary—Luther Maddccks Treasurer— B F. Gallupp. Directors—Federic Gallupp, Okas. E Xnt hill, Wm. J. Brigbtmap. Bales and regulations were adoptel reducing prices for the ensuing year to compare with the present state of the market. Tue effect of the Wasbiogtou treaty was freely discussed, and resolutions passed favoring its abrogation. As the free importation of E iglish oil is a great obstacle to the business, the whole matter was ref-rred to Hemau Smith and Lather Mad docks, with power to co-operate with other committees, recently appointed by other branches of the fishing interest, and represent the case before the proper authorities at Wash ington. A Bold Attempt.—Yesterday the Grand Trunk ticket agent left his office for a few mo ments, locking the door after him. The door is a doable one. Ashe left he noticed two rather rough looking men standing near the door and in the gentlemen’s waiting room. When he re turned he discovered that eom9 one had tried to force the lock back bj usiog a “jimmy” hot had evidi ntly boea scared away. As it was they had it jared the lock so bis key would nut turp it. With the number of trains going aud coming, and the people passing ia and out of the waiting room, this was a bell attempt. Beal Estate Transfers.—The following transfers of real estate were recorded in this connty yesterday: Brunswick—Lesi S. Barrett to H. S. Melien nev, land on DnDniog street. Staadi-h—Wilson Dow to Samuel L. Davis, 4 aores cf land. Cumberland—Adam F. Winslow to Levi H. Morrill, 15 acres of land. FAILURE FIGURES FOR ISIS. The Large Increase Accounted for by E. Russell Co. From the Annual Circular of tbe Mercantile Agency of E. Bussell Go., we learo that the total number of failures iu the United States for 1878 were 10,478, with liabilities amounting to $234 000,000. This shows an increase over 1877 of 1,571 in number, and $400,000,000 in amount. The gradual growth of these casual ties is shown iu th" following statement for the sevt-u years since 1872, with the average liabili ties for each year: Total Average Year, Number. Liabilities. Liabilities. 18’8.10, '78 $231,303,132 $.2,363 1877. 8 872 190 661 930 21,191 1876. 9 092 191,117,786 21,020 1875 7,710 20 ,060 3)3 25,977 1871. 5.830 159,239,1100 27, 13 18/3. 5,183 228.199,000 44,066 18/2. 4,060 121,056,090 29,750 Tbe failures are also givi-n by quarters for the last four years, those for 1877 aud 1878‘ bt ing as foilows: -1873-. ,-1877-. Failures. Liabilities. Failures. Liabilities. 1st Quarter. .3,5r-5 $82,078,826 2,8i9 $51,633.0/4 2d ..2,470 48,753,910 1 830 45,068,097 3d ..2 853 60,378,363 1,846 42 346.085 4tU ..1,800 37,172,003 2,397 48 717,680 The Agency states that “it is very easy to account for the increase of 1,571 failures among 700,000 lousiness men within a year in whioh the circumstances have been peculiarly influ ential iu encouraging casualties of this charac ter.” These circumstances are stated at five iu number, as follows:—1878 is the fifth year of a depression unparalleled in extent, charac ter and duration; tbe weather for the first quarter of the year was unseasonable, and thus most unfavorable for sales aod collections; the discussions in and out of Congress as to fioau cail matters aod the tariff, impaired confidence for the time beipg; the notable decline in the value of staples the world over; the existence of the epidemic in the South; aud, finally, more influential than ail others, was tbe aboli tion of tbe Bankrupt Law and the long delay permitted to elapse before its repeal. Tbe cir cular then proceeds:— “In view, therefore, of the peculiarities of the year under review, it is submitted that an increase of failures to the extent of oDly 1,571 in number, and forty millions in liabilities, is even much less than might have been antici pated. It is significant that out of tbe six leading clrcumstaoces above enumerated as contributing to failures baring the year, five no longer exist. In tbe room of these disturb ing elements o her favorable conditions ate present, which ougbt, io the immediate future, decrease of failures iu 1879 much more marked than the increase iu 1878 These favorable conditions are as follows: First—The fact that without a ripple of dis tnrbano in tbe*vast commercial transactions of ihe time a gold standard has been reached, and specie payments once more resumed, is a circuinctance of the ntmost importance. Second—Another most important indication of tbe possible approach of better times is the con tinned prosperity of the vaBt class who till the soil, and of those dependent upon them. A balance of trade implying cash receipts over disbursements of nearly a million of dollars for tvery working day in tbe year, is an achievement of vast consequeuce to numerous vital io ererts of the country. It is true that pr ess fur agricultural products have reached a poiut so low as to make tbe profit of tue pro ducer very small; but tbe disadvantage to the farmer is tbe gam of an equally large class of operatives aud laborers, to whom cheap food is tbe greatest of boons. It ia don toted if in tbe niatory of tbe present generation the first cost of tbe necessaries of life was ever leas tban at tbe present moment. When it is considered that out of the forty-five millions of onr populatioot.be lift-struggle of at least th'rty millions is for food and clothing, the reduction of tbe costs of liviDg which the year has witnessed is must important, and siguificaot of future results. Comparing the coaduiou cf this c ass ia this country at the present moment with the same class ia Great Britain or anv other European coantry, the contrast is startliug; for wages have not been reduced ne*.rly iu the sirne pronoriiou that tbe cost of food has lessen'd; while the number un emnloyed is considerably less tban at this time a year ago. Third—The changing character of the in dustries of a large number of the people is one of tbe most hopeful s'gus of the past year, and is nowh-re so visible as iu the iucrease iu tbe amouot of land taken up for actnal settlement, as an instance, the sales of land by the National Government for the year ending June 30:b, 1877, wire 3,338,000 acres, while for tbe year ending the same dace ia 1878, the 6gures were 7,062,000 acres. In the various State Land Agencies and Railroad Land Offices an qua) proportionate increase is noted, especially as compared with 1873 Such States as Texas, (Minnesota, Colorado, and indeed all the fertile regions, have had large additions to their pooulatious during the year. Fourth—Tbe prediction has been fulfilled that no marked prosperity was pos»ib e until v-Iufs touched a level lower thau the gold standard in norma! ernes This level has beeu reached, and the great decline in the prices of all staple products ii not more remarkable thau tbe universality of tbe reduction. The impediment of false values to better times is, therefore, removed. Personal. Iu the Supreme Judicial Court yest-rday, on motion of Clateuce Hale, Esq Mr Elias Dud ley Freeman of Yarmouth, was admitted to practice as an attorney aud counsellor in all the courts of this State. Mr Freeman gradu ated at Amherst, iu the class of 1875, and has studied law for the past three years in the office of Mr. Hale.

Narrow Escape.—Last evening Mr. Leon ard Jordan, Councilman from Ward 5, bad a narrow escape from suffocation. A crumb of bread got stuck in bis throat and be could not get it up or down. Water and tea failed to start tbs crumb and be could not make anyone understand wbat was tbe trouble, as it did not seem to saffooate In the manoer usual with ob stacles in the gullet The crumb seemed to be more iu tbe windpipe. Fortunately, at almost the last moment, be dislodged it. Two Captains Deceased.—Brig Eudorus of Portland, arrived at Appalachicola from St. John, Porto R co on Jan 4. Capt. D. M.

He has information that the Cora Etta has ar rived safely at Point-a-Pitre, but Captain Pen dleton was washed overboard and lost. SACO AND BIDOEFOKD LOCALS. Wednesday, Jan. 15. Zero.

POETRY. Romance ts Reality. A DCET, he (shutting hts Froissart with a s’ap). “Oh,for the days ot olden times. When true to knightly duty, The champion roamed through every clime To win the smile of beauty! 'Neath moonlit skies bis midnight spent, In place of ball rooms choky, And through triumphal arches went, Instead of hoops at croquet!" she (smiling malicouslj). “Ha! ha! nice figure you’d have made .Mid Syria’s heat and slaughter, Who growl at seventy in the shade Ana long for seltzer water! I think I hear you mutter then, While through the sand-heai>s wading: Well, let me once get home again, And deuce take all crusading!1’ he. “You heartless thing! but you have ne'er Pursued, like me, their story— Who knew no task they woul l not dare, No pain when crowned with glory; And, glowing o’er these pages, dear, I’ve wished, with heart o'erladen, I were a Spanish cavalier And you my chosen maiden.” SHE. “O Fred, you goose! I ne’er could hide UDseen behind a grating, Nor bear forever at my side A prim duenna waiting. And then this face you say you prize, Some horrid Moor might eye it, And whisk me off before your eyes—” he (fiercely). “I’d like to see him try it!” she. “Theo, too, in that stern age, yo u know, No opera, ball nor fashion, No lovely sleighing In the snow, No novels filled with passion. In convent lone, or cattle strong It must have been diverting To stitch a tap’strv all day long, With ne’er a chance ot flirting!” HE. “Of course, that’s the thing you require But men had then a chance, dear. To win their spurs, through gore and nire In Palestine or France, dear; And when the stubborn tray was dene, HiB lady crowned the winner, And-” SHE. “Pawned the spurs his strife had won To buy their Sunday Dinner!” hb (angrily). “Poo tad, by Jove! of all l say You will make fun—” “Poor fellow! He sees en beau our father** day, But ours In jaundiced yellow. Tour knights, good sir (whose spurs of gold Were all the wealth they carried), Oft found their 'chosen maidens’ cold, Aud lived tor died) unmarried! “But never mind, dear Fred; for though 1 sometimes like to tease you, Pd never say a word, you know. That really could displease you; And though papa may fume and rage, And vow he’ll ne’er endure it, Just wait till I come of age, And then” he (ecstatically). “The ring and curate!” AGRICULTURAL. A New Color from Coal Tar. The most recently discovered and perhaps the most remarkable of all the coloring sub stances produced from coal tar is named “Uranine,” and samples ot it have been lib erally distributed from the office of the Sci entific American, New York. There is au thority of chemists for the assertion that it is the most highly fluorescent body known to science. Its coloring power is astonishing; a single grain will Impart a marked color to nearly five hundred gallons of water. By sprinkling a few atoms of the powder, which has a reddish appearance, upon the surface of a tumbler of water, a very pretty result may be had. The color is quickly imparted to the water iu a spreading mass of delicate rootlets, which spreading at length give a mass ot soft, green-colored liquid. Viewed by transmitted light the color changes to a bright golden amber hue, while a combina tion of greeu and gold will be realized ac cording to the position in which the glass is held.—N. E. Farmer. Wearing Flannel. Put it on at once, winter or summer, nothing better .can he worn next the skin than a loose, red, woolen flannel shirt; “loose,” for it has room to move on the skin thns causing a titilation which draws the blood to tbe surface and keeps it there; and when that is the case, no one can take a cold; “red,” for white flannel fulls up, mats togeth er and becomes tight, stiff-, heavy and imper vious; “woolen,” the product of a sheep and not of a gentleman of color, not of cotton wool, because that merely absorbs tbe mois ture from the surface, while woolen flannel conveys It from the skin and deposits it in drops on the outside of the shirt, from which the ordinary cotton shirt absorbs it, and, by Its nearer exposure to the exterior air, it is soon dried withont injury to tbe body. Hav ing these properties, red woolen flannel is worn by sailors even in tbe midsummer of the hottest countries. Wear a thinner mate rial in summer.—Hall’s Journal of Health. A VALUABLE 8CQGESTI ON. It is easy to arrest tbe coarse of tbe streamlet among its Dative bills. Bat whea it has flowed downward into the valley and been maltiolied by a hundred different brooks, it is a difficult and sometimes impossible task to arrest the mad torrent of waters. Thus it is witb dis ease. In Us earliest stages, when tbe patient notes the first symptoms of its presence (often indioated only by a sense of languor, drowsi ness, or a slight headaebe) it is easy to arrest its progress and secure relief. Bat when, through carelessness or neglect, it is allowed to develop, complications are apt to set ic, and it is no easy task to arrest it. Our grandmothers taught their daughters that “astitch in time saves nine.” A pill in time not only saves nine, but ofttimes an incalculable amount of suffering as well. If tbe system be kept thoroughly cleansed and strengthened, it is almost invul nerable to disease. When tbe first symptoms of disease appear, two of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets and a few Joses of the Golden Medical discovery, to cleanse the blood, will, in almost every instance, arrest tbe progress of disease and expel it from tbe system. Those who have used them are the loudest iu their praise. Their repntaton is genuide, depending upon their merits alone. PORTLAND POST OFFICE.

It is an ul ceration of the head. Its indications are, hawking, spitting, weak, inflamed eyes, frequent sore 11693 of. tliB throat, dryoBus and heat of ihe nose, matter ruouiLg from toe nead down the throat, often ringing or deafness in the ears, loss of smell, memory impaired dullness and dizziness of the head, often in tbe first stages, but more commonly in its advanced stages, attended with pains in chest or left side, and under the shoulder blades Indigestion usually attends Catarrh: a hacking cough and colds are very commou; some have all these symptoms; others only a part. Very little paiD attends Catarrh, until the liver aud lungs are attacaed in consequence of the stream of pollution running from the head into the stomach. All persons thus affected take ooid easily, and have a frequent running at tbe nostrils; the breath sometimes reveals to all around tbe corruption within, while the patient has frequently lost all sense of smell. The disease advances covertly, until pain in the chest, lungs or bowels, startles him; be hacks and coughs, has dyspepsia, liver complaint, aDd is urged by his doctor to take this or that; perhaps, cod liver oil is prescribed. Perfectly ridiculous! The fonl ulcers id the head canoot be reached by pouring each staff into tbe poor, jaded stomach. Tbe patient be comes nervous; the voice is harsh ana unnatural; he feels disheartened; memory loses her pow er, judgment her zeal, gloomy forebodings hang overhead; hundreds, yes thousands, in such circumstances feel that to die would bs a relief, aud many even do out the thread of life to end their sorrows. THOUSANDS ARE DYING In earlv life with consumption who can look back a few years—perhaps only months—when it was only catarrh. Neglected, when a core is possible, very soon it will transform tbe features of health and youth into the dark, pallid appearance; while the hacking congb, the excess of blood gnshing from tbe InDgs, or night sweats, all significantly proclaim it is too late', and thus a neglect ed catarrh ends in the consumptive’s grave. NASAL CATARRH. Sometimes tbe disease only affects the membranes lining tbe nasal passages, and they may be easily reaohed and cared by simple means. Bat when it is located in tbe frontal sinus, or in the posterior nares, or if it has entered the eustachian tubes, and is iDjnring the ears, then nothing hat finely modicated vapor can effectually reach it and deauoy it. aud certainly after'ic has affected the throat and brrnchial tubes, as all well-read physicians will readily attest, nothing can be re lied on to effect a permanent care bat tbe inhalation of properlo medicated vapor. In tbe same manner that we breathe common air, we can inhale and breath, a medicated air; audit is per fectly simple, any one can see, thus to treat diseases of the throat, bronchial pipes and lungs. How mnch better this method by which remedies are cooveyed directly to the seat of tbe disease, than tn rpsnrt. tn the nunertain and ton frpnnentlv nrrsr.hip.rm/st npttnn nf mpdtoinps t.atrpn intn th.. stnm ach. THE COLH AIR OH1LIMH BALM. This part of my treatmeot I regard as very important, especially in warding off colds (which is fall half the battle), and in relieving the head and lungs while under their effects. The Balm is composed of several kinds of gums, balsams, firs, aud essential oils, which are separately used by tbo best physicians iu treating throat, broochial and lung diseases. These I have combined, and concentrated tneir virtues, which hy the iubaliog process, are drawu through the various passages of the head and respiratory organs, reaching »uj hoahng every irritated spot. If used when cold fiist makes Us appearance —which usually begins by au irritation of the mucous lin ing of the uoBe, and a sueeze, which, is nature’s emphatic warning—it will, most invariably, check it; and hy producing a quicker circulation, aud oy throwiug tbe blood to the s urface, tbe bad ef fects of a cold are warded off. It is pleasant to use aud almost instant in its effects. AMONG WOMEN catarrh is very common. Tbe decrees of fasbiou compel women to go from the dry atmosphere of furnace heated houses, into tbe open air, with the head but poorly protected. Many suffer keenly from bronchitis aud difficulties of the throat and lungs. TEACHERS IN OCR SCHOOLS are greatly subject to this fearful malady. Confinement In close, ill ventilated school rooms; the over heated atmosphere, charged with the steaming poison exuding from the bodies of the not always over clean children, breed this 1 disease with fearful rapidity LAWYERS IN THE COUHT-BOOM and judges on the bench, from the same general cause, are too often afflicted in tbe same way. MINISTERS OE THE GOSPEL, after leaving tbe pulpit, overheated with the strain of their meutal and physical efforts, neglect sufficient precaution, and a cold is the re salt. This neglected opens the way to catarrh, aod to a possible loss of voice. I have suffered so keenly myself that I cannot urge npon public speakers too strongly the necessity of removing this disease wben a oure is possible. MY EXPERIENCE. Eighteen years of terrible headacbe, disgusting nasal discharges, dryness of the throat, acnte brnn chitee, coughing, soreness of the lungs, raising bloody mucus, aud even night sweats, incapa citating me for my professional dalles, and bring ing me to tbe verge of the grave—all were oansed by, aod tbe reults of Nasal Catarrh. After spending hundreds of dollars, aud obtaiDing no relief, I compounded my Catarrh Specific and Cold Air Inhaling Balm, and wrought upon myself a Wonderful Cure. Now I can sneak for boars dith no difficulty and cau breaiho freely in any atmosphere. At the calls of numerous friends, have given my cure to tbe public, and have new s of patients In all p.rtsof the country1 thuusancs of happy fel ow beings wbosesnffer I have relieved, vly cure iscertain.thorough and M.d is indorsed by every physician who examined it. If I Cau relieve my lellow-beiugs have been relieved of this lottbsosio dicease, which makes tbe possessor at once disgusting to himself and others, I shall be satisfied, and feel I have done my little toward reimovire the ills mankind. T. P. CHILDS. TESTIMONY OF OTHERS. VKVH TUU VUanUSLLWK ur THIS l.lIVLMBIU Ui- X.HUA9HA, T. P, Childs.—Dear Sir:—1 think you have the true theory and praotice for the cure of nasal catarrh, and also, for the treatment of the respiratory organs. My tbroat is now so well restored that I lecture daily without difficulty, and I find oo difficulty whatever in preaching. Yon are at fall liberty to nse my name for tbe benefit of others. Yours very truly, E. B. Faibfield, D. D., LL.D. Lincoln, Neb. Judge J. Collett, of Lima, O., writes: “You well remember how terribly Catarrh had tak en hold noon me at tbe time yon were at my house, making me offensive to myself aDd to all arouDd, aDd withal suffering day and night I began to use your excellent remedy abuut the 26th of Angust. Now I am cured; head free, air passages all opod and breathmg natural. I ex press to you again what I said in a recent letter. ‘A thousand thanks to yon for so snre a remedy and so very cheap.’ I have laid away the instrument, having no farther occasioa to use it Thus in about six weeks I have accomplished what you thoagat could ba gained in from three to six months.” (Write to him.) Mb T. Gillespie, of Woodworth, Kenosha Co Wii, writes: “I must sayjthat I never had a medicine take hold of my catarib by tbe root, and root it out, as this has.” Mr. Thomas J. Daily, of Homer, Champaign Co III., one of tbe worst eases I ever had un der treatment, who was six months bed fast and nearly blind, one eye utt-rly destroyed by Catanh, nose and face much disfigured, and throat and lungs in a critical state, writes Jane 2i, 1878: “Dear Mr. Childs: I have used yonr Catarrh treatment, that my b'other, B. O. Daily of yonrpUce, kindly seDt me, now over three montlir, aod almost all this time in hopelessness, as it seemed 1 must die. By and by it began to take effect, and I began to have hope. I improved rapidly, soon could sit up, passages of the head began to open, throat and bronchial tubes grew better, cough ceased, and now 1 can see to write. I now expect to get wpll and go about my business agaiD. I owe you a great cebt of gratitude. Indeed, I owe my life to your treaiment Very truly your friend, Thomas J. Daily. Mr. D, is now (Sept, 10) in Troy, looking quite well; almost every vestige of Catarrh has disap peared. A WONDERFUL CHANGE. Mr. W. S. Sandel,of Willis, Montgomery Co., Texas, writes: Kev. T. P Childs —Dear Sir:—In 1873 I was attacked with catarrh, slight at first, bat it grad ually grew worse and worse. In the spring of 1877 the disease assumed a new form: my month and throat wete attacked, ulcers were formed, and soon the ulva was all eaten away, and large sores through the posterior Dares. My condition was now not only deplorable, hut apparently hopeless. Large quantities of very offensive matter were discharged from tbe nostrils and throat and for days togetner I could take no food bat spoon victuals. I knew of no remedy, aod the’ doctors coaid give me no relief or advice. My sufferings were intense, and distraction of mind was added to my physical sufferings. At this jnnctnre a friend called my attention to your ad vertisement. I lost no time in procnring yonr Specifie. I received it the latter part of August and commenced using it immediately, aDd bsgan to improve right along. My throat healed rapidly, and the change in my aDpearanoe for the better was so marked that I was often greeted with,‘‘Why! what a change! How much better you Ieoh!” When I think of what I suffered and the many Bleepless nights of agony I spent, I am truly glad there is a remedy for this horrible diseaee. I sh-.ll recommend it to all suffering with Catarrh. I will cheerfully answer any let ters that may ba addressed to me asking information. Most sincerely your friend, w. S. Sakpel.

Catarrh, in its worst and most offensive form, compelled Mr. Childs to give up his charge after years of public speaking, and constant ueo of a voice, always strong. After tryiog all that’ medi cine could do for him, lie finally, in despair, attempted his own cure, and, having considerable knowledge of medicine, succeeded, beyond hope, and relieved his own sufferings, enablin® him in resame public speaking without difficulty. Mr. Childs was besieged by others similarly effected, until the good man was compelled to eo into the manufacture of his medicine, by the number and frequency of these calls —OorresnoDil ence Journal and Messenger, Cincinnati. f The publishers of the Congregationolisl, with multitudes of other people, are somewhat eusoic 10U8 of patent medicines, as a rule, and when we received the advertisement of Mr, Childs we at first declined its insertion; but on making inquiry, we received such satisfictory replies aid one especially from a well known OongregatioDalist minister not far trom Rev. Mr. Childs’’ the nro prietor of the medicine, that we withdrew our objections.—CoDgregationalist, Boston. p While not suppos’ng that all cases of catarrh will be cared, by the prescription advertised the publishers of the Illustrated Christian Weekly, after diligent inquiry, have reason to b-lieve that it has in many cases proved effectual. We do not ordinarily insert medical advertisements trated Christian Weekly. ■lllu The medicine Mr. Childs contrives to place, by the use of his inhalers, just where it is needed must be most powerful and searching in its character to produce snch snrpiaiog results Many nt oar leading lawyers, divines and prominent business men have tried this remedy wiih’wnnderfei success. There is no doubt of the efficacy of this method. We know Mr. Cnilds as an kZt Christian man.—Gazette, Cincinnati. nonesi, Mr. Childs gives a very strong description of this most annoying and loathesome disease a number of testimonial from well-known publishers and others throoghout the country seem tr! indicate that his peculiar manner of treatment is worthy of investigation by those thus afflTrted The physician who is able to relieve suffering humanity of such painful ills, is most assuredly en titled to the thanks and patronage of the world at large.—Andrews’ Bazar, Cincinnati.
