The season has now arrived, when tho q
who have been pent up in crowded cities dur
ing long winter, (Which in fact has extend
ed through the spring. are looking with al
'e pated pleasure for some resort in the
country, where they can enjoy the quiet and
'Ie cnarns OF mountain scenery, and of fiy
er ana lake In this desire are INCLUDE, d
men, women and children, the young and the
old, in fact, all classes who can leave their
ploddings, and flee to enjoy the c,untrv ard
its delightful associations.
The question arises in the minds of MANY.
where shall we go? desire to reply to this
question by saying, that in the towE of West
Bethel there is an establishment kept by our
former townsman, John Kingsbury. The
House is called the Mineral Spring House.
1t is situated on the westerly side of the An
droscoggin river, about four miles above Beth
ell Hill, and it is surrounded by charming
scenery. In front is the Androscoggin riy-
er, and directly in the rear of the house rises
the Anasagunticook Mountain. In full view.
and only few miles distant, is Sparhawk
Mountain, the ascent of which is easy,
and from its summit you have an ex-
tended view of the country around
From the house in all directions are yery
pleasant drives, up the river, and down the
river. In the neighborhood there is fine trout
fishing. Horses and carriages are at the COM
mani Of the guests, and what have neglected
to mention before, is the mineral spring, which
gives the name to the house. 1t has been
scientifically examined and found to contain
among other ingredients, large portion of
iron, it is said to be very eficacious, medicin-
ally, either for drinking or bathing The wa
ter is pleasant for ordinary drinking.
The writer spent some time at this house
during the last season, and can recommend it
as very comfortable home-liks place. The
host and his family are very attentive, the
rooms neat, the fare good, and what will at
tract good many of us, the charges are mod
crate.
The Grand Trunk depot at West Bethel is
about mile from the house, and carriages are
there upon the arrival of the train to convey
those who wish to proceed thither. d.

and the highest hopes of human ity, all con-
spire to excite our veneration for the day and
our disapprobation at its desecration. The
burning of powder and fire crackers is no fit
celebration OF the day. That will do for
children, aut rational men demand something
that conveys deeper meaning. Nor is
great display of fireworks necessary or suffi-
cient. All these eternal demonstrations
are but means to ali end, and that end the
commemoration of a great national epoch.
To have them so contrived that the end shall
be forgotten in the means neutralizes the
whole affair. The best way to celebrate the
Fourth OF July is to enforce the principles of
the Declaration Of Independence. Self
evident as these principles are, men differ as
TO the extent OF their application. These
dlherences discussion alone can reconcile
appropriate as such discussions may be at
other times, they are peculiarly suited to such
an occasion. They would be an excellent
substitute for the flavoress rhetoric and
empty bombast which too often disgrace the
day, and which instead of being vehicle of
ideas serve to cover up the dearth of them.
Mass celebrations the people at large seem
much more appropriate than those initiated
and controlled by some particular society or
order. The Fourth is emphatically day of
the people. Each society can OF course ex-
ercise its own discretion in deciding. whether
its members shall participate in the exercises
in their collective capacity or simply as in
dividuals. But for a part to monopeRze
what belongs to the whole, does not fall in
with our usual ideas of propriety.
Every town can have a mass meeting if
nothing more, at which the Declaration nav
be read and few impromptu speeches made,
while social festivities fill up the vacant
hours. This would be much better than to
spend the day in folly or idleness. Such a
celebration which all or nearly all may enjoy
is truly democratic, and is altogether prefer
able to few more imposing and aristocratlc
demonstrations at the larger places where
only traction OF the people can be present.
The truths OF the Declaration merit closer
study ON the part of the people than they
have ever received. That instrument is the
formal recognition, the title deed of the right,
not merely of American citizens, but of all
men. To be valued it needs to be under
stood. The contemplation of its grand but
simple truths is well calculated to enlarge
and liberalize the mind, and to dispel those
preJudlces respecting race and color which a
lalse education has engendered. These prin-
ciples President Lincoln thought not un-
worthy of being life study, and it was this
among other things which elevated him so |
tar above many who in respect to early ad-
Vantases were greatly in advance of him. 1t
would be well if the common people of Amer
lea would emulate the greatness of their il |
ustrious representative. In the light of these !
principles, that political monster, the theory |
Of a"white mans government" will be re-
7ealed in all its deiormity, and exposed to
hat execration which its malignant warfare
upon our institutions has so richly earned. |

The Duty of Celebrating the Fourth of
mi

The Duty of Celebrating the Fourth of
... July.
1t is matter of regret that the day which
marks the anniversary of our nations birth,
does not command a more general observ-
ance. Regard for the day seems rather di-
mnishing than increasing. While the Re-
bellion kept before the eyes of the public
present and overwhelming danger, it was
natural that people should not feel in a mood
for indulging to any extent in such demon
strations. But now joy at our national de-
lverance ought to enhance the pleasure with
which we celebrate our national birth.
With any one who reflects how great an
influence the manifestation of any sentiment
has in deepening and intensifying the senti-
ment itself, no argument can be needed to
demonstrate not merely the propriety, but
the duty of such an observance With
most persons the din of business is apt to
drown the voice of the deeper sentiments
Unless the struggle of life can occasionally
slacken, they lose their influence over the
mind, and man becomes as he must be with
| out them, little better than a barbarian. Pat
riotism, like the other sentiments, is liable to
become dwarled unless it be cultivated by
contemplation, and developed by exercise
As well might religion flourish without
sabbath as patriotism without its anniversa-
ries and celebrations. The neglect of days
rendered memorable by great national events
is both sign and cause of waning pat
riotism. South Carolina began by disregard
son and rebellion.
The greatness Of the event which that day
commentaries, the heroic memories which
cluster around it, the majesty of the princi.

sTINGs. @
The mouth, tongue, or proboscis and sting
of a bee are of such wonderfully curious and
complicated structure that full description of
them would fill good sized book. The sting
alone will occupy our attention, and that but
briefly. The fear of this little article, SO in
significant in itself, is one great reason why
bees are not more common. A single sting
sometimes affects me quite seriously, but l
have learned to guard against them by wear
ing bee hood and gloves when handling my
bees
When gathering or loaded with honey bees
will not sting unless defending themselves or
their stores, but when their domain is enter
ed and their combs disturbed, especially by a
sudden jar, they rally at once and if their an
ger is aroused, woe to the unlucky wight
who dares disturb their peace.
The sting is composed of two parts, each
pointed and nicely fitting together. Eth
er part is armed with four barbs and
worked by separate muscles. The sting of
bee is not driven into the enemy by sud-
den blow like that OF the wasp or hornet
but one half is plshed tar enough for one
barb to catch then the other half the same
and so alternating until all the barbs have
hold, when a sheath with poison descends
and sharges the wound. The bee is not
able to withdraw the sting, her efforts to do
so tear out her abdomen, and thus she pays
for her rashness with her life. Place a fine
cambric needle under lens which will make
the point look like a crowbar and then place
bees sting in the same focus, and it will
appear polished and the point so fine that the
end of it cannot be seen, thus showing the
remarkable discrepancy between the works
Of nature and art.
In my next 1 will take up the queen, the
dror Is, the workers and swarming.

A HAPPY REUNION OLA FAMILY.
On the 24th day of September, 1868,
being the79th anniversary of the birth
of Major David Shook of Plain town
ship Stark Co., who settled here in
the year 1910, the children grand
children, and great grand children,
with several other special friends met
at the house of his eldest son, (Mr.
George Shook with whom said David
resides), with baskets filled with a
great variety of ats,Vegetables and
fruits. and took the Major by surprise,
who surrendered gracefully, when
baskets were unpacked and table SET
groaning under piles of good things.
After dinner, a short address to the
old gentleman was read, in which the
author referred to many of the first
settlers, neighbors and heads oi
families az he could recollect, about
sixty in number (all Of whom except
one besides Mr.. Shook have paid thC
last debt of nature) which brought VI
in the mind of Mr.. Shook many
pleasant "reminiscences.
Rainy as the day was, it will lonl
be remembered by the party as very
pleasant one.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN DENTISTRY. - No
thing is more to be admired than a fine set of
natural teeth and the possessor is more to be
envied if they can be retained during life
But unfortunately they fall a prey to disease,
and we are frequently obliged to resort to
art to restore the lost organs.
Few sciences have made more rapid pro-
gress, and gained stronger hold on the
people than dentistry has in the past forty
years, at which time artificial teeth were al
most entirely unknown, and the best attempts
al artificial substitutes were but unreasonable
failures.
Human teeth that graced the lips Of the
dead were made to adorn the mouth of the
living. The teeth of animals, the teeth of
the elephant and hippopotamus were used
to restore decaying beauty, but these like
The natural organs were perishable
Next came porcelain teeth, at first rude
indeed, but far superior to their ivory pre-
decessors. The introduction of porcelain
teeth marked new era in dentistry, and af-
ter years of experimenting they were brought
Ivory curved into the shape Of the gums
formed the first base to which teeth were
attached. This was substituted by the met
als, gold at last proving the best adapted to
the purpose. Even this metal was found to
be Objectionable on account of the galvanic
action excited, and the accumulation and
decomposition of food in the interstices be-
tween teeth and plate, and its average dura-
bility being only about eight years
Rubber plates were more extensively used
than any other material, but the sulphur
and mercury entering so largely into its COM
position has, in many instances so seriously
repoired the health of the wearer, that
mauy of the first physicians have con-
demncd its use, and our most eminent den
fists have entirely discarded it, and are urg-
ing the profession to abandon its use. Oc-
casionaT cases of salvation have occurred,
and sore and gums, and breaking out of. the
lips are so frequent as only to need atten-
ton to be called to the fact to cause it to be
very commonly observed.
Porcelain plates are entirely free from
any of the above objections, being per-
fectly pure with teeth and plate united in
one inseperable piece, having no unsightly
joints, rivalliug the natural teeth in beauty,
and being absolutely imperishable.
The object of every one should be to pre-
serve the natural teeth if possible; but
when We are obliged to resort to supply
their loss, the matter of economy as well as
the important consideration of health and
and comfort, should be consulted. Every
wearer of these plates gives them the most
unqualified endorsement and they only
need to be seen to recommend them more
strongly than words can possibly do.
A call at the office of DR.. Douds who
alone manufactures them in this county,
will convince the most incredulous of thu
! truth of the above statements.
