kE TO PERSONS unacquainted with phyeio-
logical chemistry, it may appear strange that
iron should form an element Of the human
body, ard to many it may seem t1nimportant
whether the quantity contained in the system
is large OF small. ssThe blood is the life" for
from this vital fluid each tissue Of the body
absorbs Euch material elements as are ncces-
sary for its nutrition and growth. Bad blood
will i11itate the heart, will clog up the lungs,
will stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver,
will deadcn the intestinal motions, will send
its dfscasc-producing elements to every part
OF tho system Good blood cannot be pro-
duced unless the food is properly dlgested.

Coon FOR DoDGE.-We are pleased to an
nounce that to crafty many of his old friends
who were unable to make beginning towards
getting in to his last Concert here, Ossian Z.
Dodge will give one more Concert at Lancas-
ter Hall, Monday Evening, Dee. l5 This is as
1t should be. Dodge never ought to leave
Portland without giving at least two concerts,
and we think he would find it profitable to give
even more, for we never remember the time
when Dodge couldn't draw hall full any
where. Mr.. VIM. Hayward, who accompanies
Mr.. Dodge, is great favorite, and in pieces
he sings is probably without an equal in the
world. The programme offered is new and
rich, running over with choice and tempting
morceaus, among which we notice "The Dy-
ing Boy" Mother Dear, o pray for me-" and
The Thanksgiving Dinner" There will be
"much folks" in and around Lancaster Hall
that evening. Mr.. Dodge sings in Gorham
Tuesday evening, Dec. Is, and in Sacarappa
Wednesday evening, Dec. II.

FIRE IN CAPE ELIZABETH.-Between five
and six o'clock yesterday morning fire broke
out in the dwelling house of Mr.. J. w. Burke
on the Cape Elizabeth side, near the Portland
bridge, which consumed the house. barn and
and shed. The other houses in that vicinity
were in great danger, and the barn of Mr.. j.
G. Bradford had caught fire, but the flames
were arrested by Ocean Engine Co., No. 4, of
this city, which promptly repaired to the scene
as soon as notified of the fire by Mr.. Seavey,
who rode over to the city for that purpose.
The furniture in the lower part of Mr.. Burkes
house was saved. He had insurance ON the
house for 81, 900, and 800 each on his furni-
ture and barn. The fire is supposed to have
caught from defect In the chimney. Mr..
Burke arose very early and kinded a fire un-
der the boiler and went to bed again. He
was aroused by the smoke and flames, and
found the upper part of the house on fire.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Seavey for his
efforts in getting an engine to go over from
the city, and equal credit is due to the men,
bers of No. 4, for the alacrity with which they
started their machine, and their successful
efforts to stay the progress of the fire.
