EFFECTS OF THE GREAT LAND SLIDE AT
WEsTBRooK.- notwithstanding the great OBJ
struction occasioned by the land slide, last fall
at Cumberland Mills, Westbrook, which at
one time seemed to require an expensive out
lay to restore TO the operation of the mill it's
original water power, the water made its own
canal, of sufficient width to relieve the great
overplus of back water, and the mills have
been in successful operation ever since. Some
apprehension existed that the high spring
freshets might seriously retard the business OF
the mills but SO far, this has been but little
inconvenience. The mills have during the
high water of last week been obliged to sus-
pend work but two days, and it is the opinion
of the Superintendent that there will be no
farther trouble-and if not otherwise provided
for, by the action.of the canal, the proprietor
will only have to widen the canal at very lit
tie expense to obviate all difficulties hereafter

MISSION OF THE FAIRIEs.-As the time draws
near for the exhibition of this sprightly and
beautiful drama, we cannot help making one
more allusion to it, although neither the Curl
osity nor the good will OF our citizens may per-
haps need stimulating in the direction of full
attendance. The plot is very clever one, and
we'll worked out by the authoress; while the
careful rehearsals which are being made will,
without doubt, secure its handsome presenta-
ton on the stage. 1t might be well for those
who intend to patronize this entertainment to
obtain beforehand the little pamphlets con-
tanning the text of the play. These, as well as
tickets to the exhibition, may be obtained at
the usual places.
ONE hundred years ago the now celebrated
Plantation Bitters were as well known in the
West Indies as they are now known in the
United States 1t is true that they were not
known by that name, but their components
and manner of manufacturing were the same
save that there has been added Calisaya or
Peruvian bark, celebrated the world over for
its wonderful tonic properties. Even to this
day these Bitters are popular as ever, and their
sale and use on these islands is constantly in
creasing, and there can hardly family be
found, rich or poor, who is without them We
do not wish to impute any wrong to the Amer
lean proprietors of these Bitters, but that they
are the originators we most stoutly deny, and
they must take such umbrage at it as they
please At the same time we take this occa-
sion to say that more va u lble tonic Bitters
cannot be found in all the we Id. We consider
them just the thing for weak and delicate fe-
males, and all those requiring mild and gen.

THE CONVENTION.

maury and WiIIIamsOD-Card from
Hon. A. D. p. Nicholson.
To the Editor of the Columbia Herald
In response to the calls made upon me
through your paper, and to many personal
solicitations, to become a candidate for the
Convention, l beg leave to say, that the
responsibility of altering and amending
the fundamental law of the State is SO
great that l am very reluctant to assume
it. could only consent to occupy the po-
sition, in obedience to the general wish of
the people According to my idea of po-
itical duty, every citizen is bound to give
his services to his country, when required
by the popular sentiment, unless it should
involve too great a personal sacrifice.
Having received such evidences of the
wishes of the people of Maury as satisfy me
that there is a general desire that l should
represent them in the fioaterial district CON-
posed of the counties of Williamson and
Maury, and having learned from number
of the citizens of Williamson, that it is ex-
pected in that county that the delegate
would come from Maury, and that the citi-
zens of Williamson are disposed to concur
in soliciting the candidate who may be sat
isfactory to the people of AIaury county, l
feel justified in authorizing you to an
nounce my name as a candidate to repre-
sent this hoaterial district 1t proper, how
ever, for me to add, that if I should find
that my information as to the sentiment in
Williamson county is incorrect, and that
the people of that county desire to be rep
resented by some other person, it will
afford me real pleasure to withdraw my
name. Whilst am fully satisfied that our
Constitution requires to be altered and
amended in few of its most important
provisions, l am so difident of my ability
to make the necessary alterations and
amendments, that would cheerfully de-
cline the honor and the responsibility Of
the position in favor of any one, who may
be regarded by the people as better quail
fed to discharge its duties.

from Jamaica, w. l., under date of Oct
-, states that Consul Grigg declares that
the report Of his speech at the Cuban
banquet. as furnished by the Jamaica

that he simply expressed his belief that
Cuba would secure her freedom, and that,
in his opinion, Judging from the existing
state of Ilublic feeling in America, one OF
the first acts of Congress would probably
be the recognition Of Cuban rights.
He denies having uttered the sentiments
attributed to him What he really did say
had different application.
What the JunIa say,
The secretary of the Cuban junta- on
his recent visit to the navy yard, stated that
