A BRAVE Irish GIRL.-That was a cour-
ageous Irish girl who secured the arrest of the
negro burglars in New York on Sunday NOR
ming. Their noise partially awakened her,
and while half asleep" she threw her hand
over the side of the bed, when it struck some
thing cold and clammy that clutched it tight
ly. Instantly she was wide-awake and sud
denly peered toward the object that had sent
her blood chilled through her veins Aided by
: the gas, which had been feebly burning all
night, she discovered coolly lying on lounge
within two feet of her a hideous looking
black fellow, and over in a corner of the room
companion of like revolving aspect The sit
uaticn was enough to give most men the night
mare, avoiding any reference as to how it
would affect women in general. Ellen Finn,
for that is her name, jumped from her couch,
collared the first rascal with q viee-like grip
and began to shake him soundly.
His brother thief soon came to his rescue,
and laying his brawny hands upon her, and
holding her with all the strength he possessed,
the blacker of the black two warned her, s'If
you scream again wen choke you to death" :"
at the same time pulling from his pocket q
handkerchief, intending to carry his threat
into execution. But after sharp struggle
she broke away from them, and sending
another scream ringing through the house, the
inmates began rushing down stairs, when one
of the rascals rushed up to her and struck her
a terrible blow on the nose. Both of them
then fed into the street and were soon after
arrested.

WITH Dyspeptics everything is wrong. Food
does not digest; sleep does not refresh; wine
does not cheer; smiles do not gladden. music
does not charm, nor can any other joy enter
the breast of the miserable dyspeptic. You
must get rid of it, or it will become seated and
confirmed, and life will be burden and exist
ence curse. Plantation Bitters will do away
with all this. New life, strength and energy
will take possession of you. The damask will
again bloom upon your check, and the luster
in your eye will again be as bright as in your
healthiest, happiest and most Joyous days.

MARRIED IN FUN, BUT Welded IN EARN
EsT.-The Montpelier (Vermont) Journal says,
that not a thousand miles from White River
Junction, a serio-comic affair occurred, which
made the parties to the joke laugh out of the
ether side of their mouths. A correspondent
who describes the affair, says:
"They have got up the funniest snarl across
the river that you ever heard Of At a party
last week at one IS, after exhaustne the
ordinary games, and wanting something new,
mock marriages were proposed Accordingly
names were drawn by lots, and four couples
stood up to be married. The ceremony was
performed, and they duly pronounced man
ana wife, by the laws of the State and before
tnese Witnesses Afterward, they ascertained
the man officiating was Justice of the peace,
ana the parties were legally married. They are
IN the greatest alarm about it that ever was.
One OF them, Prot. -, of T. Seminary,
expects lady up from below in about a fort
night to marry him. and nearly every one in
volved Is expecting to be married right away
one other gentleman to lady below-and they
feel like DEATH They have searched all the
law books and consulted authorities far and
near, and everything only proves the knot still
tighter. The Justice has been Aned 700 for
each couple. He says he is from another coun-
ty, and cannot do business here, and supposed
the marriges not to be legal 1t is certainly q
funny scrape, and made still funner by the
fact that all the parties belong to the upper.
ten The best opinion is that they are legally
married. and can only be divorced by the Le-
gislature."

ATwo- HEADED MoNsTER.-The N Y. Times
shows in three column article that Erie and
Tammany are one, and that this combination
of railroad kings with the political sachems
of New York Democracy, controlling unlimit-
ed capital, already extending its ramifcations
through several States, employing large
army of men (say $4,000 and unchecked by
principle only wants an endorsement from the
present Legislature to make it omnipotent.
The irregularities in Erie management began
in October last and the monstrous growth of
the last few months wants an act of indem-
nifty covering that period of time. The Times
says:
If the Erie managers have their way in the
present Legislature, the Erie and Tammany
rings, a body "rolled into one and turned
loose on the field Of politics" and propelled by
the joint power of the money of the Erie man.
ayers and of the patronage Of the Tammany
managers, will roll over and crush all before it.
Those who do not expect to ride in its car, and
are not willing to be crushed by its progress,
will do well to see that it does not acquire q
more destructive momentum No such COR
rupt and formidable political power ever ap-
peared in the fields of New York politics.

: FUNERAL OF GEN SAMUEL FEssRNDEN-The
funeral OF the late Gen Samuel Fessenden
took place from the residence of his son, Hon
William Pitt Fessenden, yesterday afternoon
at o'clock There was a large attendance.
including the Cumberland Bar Association,
and the Grand Lodge of Maine in full regala.
The body was enclosed in beautiful casket
OF black walnut, in imitation of rosewood.
highly finished and handsomely ornamented
with silver handles and nails and lined with
white thibet. On the top was silver plate
bearing this inscription: N.
SAMUEL FEssENDEN;
Born July IS, 1884; Died March 10. 1859.
Aged "a Years Months.
Upon the casket rested an elegant cross and
wreath, composed of the rarest exotics The
features of the deceased bore placid aspect
as of one who had merely lain him down to
rest, and such portion of the body as was
visible was caressingly entwined with ivy.
The services, which consisted of the reading
of appropriate passages from the scriptures,
an address and prayer, were conducted by
Rev. DR.. sCarruthers, of the Second Parish
Church, who took this occasion to paw a yerv
fine tribute to the deceased in euloey of his
mental and moral worth. He spoke of him
as father, citizen, lawyer and philanthropist,
in all IF which characters he bore a reputa-
ton second to none in the country. His
physical being seemed proportioned to his in
tellect. He dwelt upon the honesty of his
character and his unshaken and persistent
holding to course which he had decided in
his mind was the right one to pursue. He
remarked upon his Christian worth and his
love Of his family, and concluded with the
assurance to his hearers that the lend Of such
man was peace"
The Grand Lodge acted as pail bearers, and
after the services at the house, proceeded in
carriages with the long funeral cortege to Ev-
ergreen Cemetery, where Masonic rites were
performed.
Three of the sons were absent, Senator Fes-
senden Hon. Samuel @. Fessenden, who are
in Washington, and DR.. Hewitt Fessenden,
who is in Eastport. The rest of the sons,
