The Union Republicans of this town have
to fight pot only modern democracy, but its

A more disorderly, disgraceful, drunken
town meeting has not been holden in this

the democracy marched to the polls, and from
the polls to the cider barrel again, but before
night many required help to get to the ballot
box, and very many to get home. 1t is a la

ISAAC BARNUM the propri tor of Grand Trunk
Dining Rooms, with much pleasure would announce
to his friends and the public, that, having become
fully convinced that the Mineral Water, issuing in
such abundance from the premises of Dr. j. D. Buzz
zel, ofCape Elizabeth, possesses extraordinary eca-
cy and powor not only for the preservation of health
but in the removal OF disease, he has purchased of
said Buzzell, fine lot of land including the Mineral
Spring. and is about to erect upon the same, large
and commodious buildings for the accommodation Of
nvalids and all others who may desire the benefits of
drinking and bathing in this medicinal water.
The chemical analysis Of this water, by one of the
most scientific, accurate and popular chemists in
New England, A. A. Hayes, M. D., State Assayer,
Boston, Mass, and who does not hesitate to say that
it contains several of the most valuable medicinal ee
ments which render it extremely valuable in the re-
moval of great variety of diseases; well as the
practical demonstration Of its wonderful efficacy in
cures OF cases already too numerous to mention,
must dspel every doubt that this water is equal II
not superior, to any yet discovered in the United
States with the advantage fleeing entirely free from
all noxious taste or smell. "a
The Public should also be appraised of the superior
location OF this SPRING it being only about one-hah
mile from the bridge leading from the Portland and
Boston Depot, in pleasant prospect of the city of
Portland, and where patients and visitors enjoy
the advantages not only ofsea air. but of bathing In
sea or mineral water under the same root M 4
As this mineral water contains elements of SELL
preservation, passing through several strata of Man
ganese it can be kept any length of time pure and
fresh when first taken from the Spring, not under
going the slightest chemical change in taste quail
ty, Unjust once appear to all Mariners the most
valuable water to take board their vessels especi
ally in long voyages. And it can be obtained by ne
barrel or quantity for this purpose, the Spring
flows at least one thousand barrels per day.
eB Bathing Rooms will be in readiness upon the
premises early this season; and while other build
mgs are in progress of erection, comfortable
modations for boarding can be obtained near by the
Spring. A-. aa4
