NEw MEDICAL INSTITUTE IN BIpDEFoRp.-
We are pleascd TO see the increasing interest and
real success Of the Medical Institute and Dis.
pensary recently established in the city Of Bid
deford, connected as IL il designed 10 be, in the
principles OF medical treatment. with the best
kindred Institutes Of the New England States.
DIR. Stevens, the superintendent, Is a regular
and ell qualified Physician Of some thirty
years experience, and viii give special medical
and surgical treatment fer diseases Of the kid.
ncys, urinary and genital organs, constitution
nj debility, and diseases Of the throat and lungs.
lie u likewise insttuting the means for treating
diseases Of the eye and ear after the most APP
proved principles Of the hospital practice Of
Europe. DR. Stevens can be consulted at his
ofiice-in Union Block, Liberty street. Bidde.
fOrd-privatcly and conilentially. The best
Swedish and American Leeches and apparatus
for cupping will be kept ut the Biddeford Med
ical Institute also fresh and pure cirrus for
vaccination at all times, and also electrical and
magnetic and electro-galyanic machines for APP
plying electricity and gslyanism, &C., to rheu-
matte and neuralgia patients.
As q charitable Dispenssry to the poor, and
those unable to pay, DR.. Stevens Is determined
10 make the Institute free 10 all those who fur.
give To such. meiical examination and advice
free of Charge, and furnish them medicines Sc
lected by himself nj the lowest practicable rates.
We believe the citizens of York County and Of
this State will hnd this Ia be q useful and valu-
able Institute for the special treatment Of chron.
ic diseases In all their forms, ~ the best medi-
cal counsel will be called to its aid and support.
All those requiring medical advice or medical
treatment. residing out OF the city, are invited

OF this Institution for the treatment Of disease.
All communications made to DIR. Stevens will
receive prompt attention.
The French House, near 'Mciford' corner,
having been purchased by the Messrs Lock. is
TO be removed to Smith ST. aud fitted up rs =

An old man by the name Of Baker fell down
q flight Of stairs in Pepperell No. 3 mill on
Monday, severely bruising anl stunning hiIr,
but INJECTING no other injuries.
One Of the most high handed outrages we
have heard lately was perpe,rated in Bruins
wick upon the representative from the district
ut WATERFORD and Hollis. Perhaps il is not
generally known that Mr.. II. is n Freshman in
Bowdoin College, but he is, and doubtless Is AS
guleless and inaocent ms all freshman are wont
to be. although some are a great deal fresher
than others. But that is nothing here nor
there. One afternoon Of fne summers day,
or rather autumn day. this Member elect Of
the Legislator ov his own natid staff" scat
tered his metallic currency in the shape of words
rather literally which the college boys repudi-
ated and so "at the witchng hour OF night
when church yards yswn," and lots OF other
things. and while Mr.. II. was doubtless dream
ing Of home. and the old oakcn bucket and the
layn where he so recently played and gam
boiled. 10y the way, IL one thing in nature Is
beautiful to contemplate, Il is the sleep of gen
tie innoceuce,) about 60 studeuts entered his
room and each clipped lock from his head,
singing in recumbient" strains, "Let me kiss
him for his mother. Then thinking that as
their victim was not willing 10 restore the Tn.
ION by war, he might be willing TO stick Il to-
gether. they emptied . bottle OF Spsulding's
Glue upon his dismant!ed eaPsi.
Outrageous, We call upon the Faculty Of
Bowdoin to instantly suppress somebody. and
sindics,e the right Of undisturbed slumber.
To be sure nothing but nature can restore the
hair, but the rights OF every individual is VIC
lated by this act. and we hope to see justice
melted out speedily. York County feels the
slight thus put upon her, IN every fibre OF her
being.

We arc happy to learn Of the prosperous
condition Of the York County Five Cents Saw
