A Rro lll,IpD,I,l system.

There isa disease to which the doctors give many
names, but which few of them understand. 1t is
simply weakness-a breaking down ofthe vital forces
Whatever its causes land they are innumerable) its
symptoms are in the main the same. Among the
most prominent extreme lassitude, loss Of appe
tte, loss OF esh and great mental depression. In
digestion and Stomach Cough are also frequently
concomitants of this distressing state of body and
mind. The common remark in relation to persons
in such condition Is, that they are consumptive.-
Now, what these unfortunates really want Is vigor-
Uital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds
darkness they recuperate their systems and re-
gain perfect health by resor ting to HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED Observation-Disclosures. Itisas clear
that lfrevivng tonic is required in such cases, as
that the dying flame Of empty lamp requires to be
revived with new supply ofoil. Perfectly pure and
inhocuous, containing nothing but the most genial
vegetable extracts, and combining the three grand
elements of stomachic and Alternative, and genial
invigorant. Hostetters Bitters are su table to all
constitutions and are as applicable to the diseases
and disabilities of the leebler sex as to those Of men,

HONOR TO THE BRAVE SoLpIER-We
are glad to see, in the nominations which have
been and are being made in the State. an oc-
casional recognition Of the brave bows who
have been engaged in fighting the battles, of
the Union. In Gray the Union men have
nominated MIR. JOHN NJ. LIBBY. TO REPRESENT
that town and New Gloucester Mr.. T,ihbv ;s
a young man of more than average abilities,
who left good situation and enlisted as .
private in the Maine 10th, at a bounty Of only
one hundred dollars, He was in the battle of
Gettysburg, and on the second day. when his
regiment was in the thickest and hottest of the
fight, he had the misfortune to have a norton
of his right hand shot away, causing the loss
of two or three fingers of that hand, For his
bravery he received marked Compliment from
Gen. Howard. -
A brother of his was three wears IN the
Maine 18th, and then re-enlisted, and died in
the service. We trust the Union men Of GRAY
and New Gloucester viii on Monday next do
themselves the honor to elect the gallant sur
vivor of this brace Of noble brothers, to seat
which he viii fill with credit to himself and
honor to his constituents.

BosToN CLEMBNCY AND COMMERCE.
The Portland Wing is facetious over
the proposition Of certain Bostonians to
procure the pardon Of Alev Stephens in
order to bring southern trade to Boston,
1t is reminded of little story
"In making Mr. Stephens useful to the
cause Of commerce, ne should be as dis
creetly managed as the Nantucket wild
dow did the dead body Of her husband.
A lobster catcher Of Nantucket, was
once upon time, drowned, while exam
lining his fish tubs. His body was
found few days after his demise, and
the melancholy fact was communicated
to his disconsolate widow, while she
was in the act Of boiling to death pot
Of fine HOLSTERS. Overwhelmed with
grief she ordered her husbands remains
to be Immediately inferred. Certainly

but when we hauled him up, he had q

profits ofthe trade in shell fish, hearing
this important revelation, very proper

The LAW AT WORK IN MAssACHU-
sETTs.-The Boston Traveller of Oct. I'd
says
The constabulary and its friends re-
gard the recent movement of the liquor
dealers in the courts as great victory
for the temperance cause. After the
disasreamAnt of a jury in one case on q
complaint brought by Deputy Con-
stable, the counsel for the defendants
readily went to the same jury with an
other case, but was sadly disappointed
for they convicted his client.
This created considerable astonish-
ment, and the contest in the Superior
Court was dropped, special pleas fled,
admitting the guilt of the defendants,
and after going through the formality
of allowing the court to pass sentence,
the cases will be carried Immediately to
the United States Supreme Court.
The parties were at first very eager to
have their cases tried before juries, but
do not now manifest 80 much anxiety in
that respect. The constabulary have
achieved success, and are still hard at
work prosecuting other parties. At the
present term Of the Superior Court 140
cases will come up for sentence, in addi-
ton to 100 new ones in which appeals
were taken from the decision of the PO-
lice Court.
