had become burden to me, and having tried
every known remedy for relief, and consulted
the ablest physicians without receiving any
benefit, my attention was directed to YOU
Without a particle Of faith, visited Portland,
and put myself under your care. Notwith-
standing you described the nature of my COM
plant without my assistance, my faith was not
increased. But when, short time after tax
ing the medicine you furnished me, my COM
plant began to give way, hope began to re-
viye, and by following your treatment have
got entirely rid of what feared would be a
lifelong torment. / shall return to my dis

have SO successfully ministered to my health.

KEROSENE OH--The Oxford Democrat
says: "rhe Price Current quotes Kerosene in
Portland this week at 80 cents per gallon.
The first we used cost S1,75 per gallon, and
was nearly as cheap light as we now have at
present rates. 1t is getting to be hard work to
burn some that is in the market,
All that sells in the market as Kerosene is
not Kerosene, but large portion is inferior
coal oils, and should not be classed with the
Kerosene oil, which, we believe, is refined as
pure now as when it sold at sl,75 per gallon.
The extensive use of the Kerosene has enabled
the company to compete in prices with the in
ferior coal and rock oils that flood the market

BEFORE HIS HONOR, JUDGE LANE.

July |, 1862.
Patrick Gormly was arraigned this morning,
TO answer TO charge of violation of the Lords
Day. Patrick was not ignorant of the Divine
command, to Remember the Sabbath, to keep
it holy" and, upon reflection deemed it advis-
able to own up, and plead guilty. Now, from
the petty profit arising from the sale of a tri-
fling article Of traffic, he was induced to break
the laws of God and man, and like the boy who
went fishing on the Sabbath, caught nothing
In the way of gain, but bad cold; although
this morning has proved to him to be of a fine
character. Sequel to Sundays mercantile trans
actions: out OF pocket, $500; plus costs, 1926

Augustus Penney was brought before His
Honor on charge Of resisting an officer of the

Dennis Maloney was charged with the Of

small packages, such as pint glass, &c. This
person was proved to have sold pint of run,

this, especially, increased the enormity of the
offence. 1t was a hard case, and the pleadings
of Webster or a Choate could not have in

broken ordinance. Consequently, a fine of$10
and costs, making neat little figure of s1317,
was inflicted, and which amount being handed
over, notwithstanding one 'long, last, linger-
ing look" justice felt satisfied, and the court
was in readiness for the next case. Charles b.

were brought before His Honor, charged with
the offence Of assault and battery upon the

CHARAcTERIsTIC.-The Saco Democrat, a
strict follower of the adamantne Democracy,
calls Messrs. Jewett and Peters hard names
because they dared stand up in the late Ban
gor Convention and manfully oppose the ef-
forts Of the willy Bradbury to transfer the
Union Democracy to the foul embraces of the
hard shells-and for denouncing the infamous
proceedings of the Winthrop Hall Convention
last year. Such men as Peters, Blake, Jewett,
and other loyal Democrats, will not suffer from
the attacks of such miserable disloyal sheet.

able casualties of the service, that the time

tire approval, that you at once call upon the

toiore organized such additional number of
men as may in your judgment be necessary to
garrison and hold all the numerous cities and
military positions that have been captured by
our armies, and to speedily crush the rebellion
that still exists in several of the Southern
States, thus practically restoring to the civil
