SOME YEARS since poor but talented gentle
man Of the medical profession conceived the idea
that if hc could produce a medicine of universal
application and extraordinary merit, and make
it known, lie could not only enrich himself and
escs g the drudgery Of ply scisns life, bat
also benefit the sick in greater measure than by
his private practice. He therefore consulted
with the best ply siciAns be could find, and the
result was the production of the ,Tudson's Noun
tain Herb p lis, a famous and most successful
medicine. lie began in a small way to make the
Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them.
and such was the value of his Pills, that in {,
years he had not only amasbed a fortune, hut had
that rare satisfaction for rich man. of having
relieved the sick, and benefited his Tellow.me
in every part Of the country, as thousands Of
grateful testimonials could prove. The Iudson's
MOuntPin Herb Pills have cured Dyspepsa
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all
Bilious Disorders. This little sketch serves til
TO aiorn tale and point a moral. DR.. Judson's

States; and tubes of the same metal, ceres
ponding precisely in description to these
found at Harpswell, have been exhumed
from the mounds in the valley of the Ohio.
The question arises, whence did the natives
procure this metal? The fact that sole-leath-
er and faxen twine were found with these
tubes, is sufficient indication that they
may have come from European countries.
The navisators to the coast in 1902 and 1907
iound several articles of transatlantic manu-
iacture, and why may not these copper otna-
ments have been derived from the same
sources? or did they come from the mines OF
Lake Superior?

AN INTERESTING CoMllUNITY.-Frequen
allusion has been made of late 10 the singular
case OF Lawrence Oliphant, formerly mem
Der OF the British Parliament and a favorite
OF the English aristocracy, who from walking
arm in arm with the King of Denmark and
the Prince OF Wales retired TO this country
and Joined communistic society at Brocton,
Ontario, fifty miles West of Buffalo, A re-
porter has recently visited the community
from motives of curiosity and found it semi
religious association, the bond of union being
the doctrines of Mr.. T. L. Harris, a nephew
OF the former United States Minister to
Japan. He is the originator of a new system
of theology, which resembles in some points
the teachings OF Emanuel Swedenborg. The
members of the colony are converts to his re-
ligious system. However the new creed may
compare with our commonly received ideas of
orthodoxy, the reporter says that its practical
fruits as exhibited in the daily lives of its pro-
fessors, speak well for it. The universal tes-
timony of the adjoining neIghborhood bears
witness to the fact that all the members Of
the new community are shining examples of
intelligence, amlability and thrift. The prop
erty Is held in common, but in other respects
there is nothing socialistic in their system.
The family is an institution sacredly guarded
among them. The business Of the communi-
ty is grape-growing. The withdrawal of Mr..
Oliphant from England was sudden. Letters
were received in Boston last summer from
his constituents at Sterling inquiring into the
truth of the rumor that he was living here.
The letters were handed to him and he re-
piled by quietly sending in his resignation of
his seat in the British Parliament. 1t Is not
known where he first met Mr.. Harris in
Japan, where he was Secretary to the British
Embassy, and from him he imbibsd the doc
trines. He expresses entire satisfaction with
bis action, declaring that the peace of mind
and religious enjoyment which attend his
new course of life are ample compensation
for the sacrifices they have cost.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The snow is gradually disappearing and the
tops OF the fences are once more coming into
sight. The river Is slowly rising. The aver

IL degrees above; the average of the same
month last year was % degrees above, or ten
degrees warmer. But on the first day oil

are to have George Francis Trsin, who will

of the Rights of Cotton Mill Operatives, 10,
600 of whom he tells us, are living in his en-
ploy at "poor dying rate" while he has ac-
cumulated millions out of their labor. What
a strange uncomfortable world this is getting
to be! Everybody is after his rights" in
these transition times. Will the world ever
settle down again and 60 smoothly on its
way without jostling and disturbing US old
fogies?
Then there is the velocipede. We have

another nearly ready for business. Next

one blind man who is suffering from vio-
leps attack of the disorder. The life of the
velocipede may be short, but it will be merry.
The prospect for business is not, just now
quite SO brilliant as one could wish. The
mills win probably keep at work, as usual,
but it is quite doubtful whether a new cotton
mill Is erected the present season. If there
is not, mechanics will not be kept so lively as
they were last year, though there will be con-
siderable done in a small way. A picker fol
the Lincoln Mill, 40x40, will be erected. The
Baptists will put up fine church. The Sec
ond Free Baptist Society also think of build
ing chapel One or two large school houses
will be constructed. Several fine private res
licences will be erected in this city, and Others
in Auburn. In Auburn a number of school
houses WIN probably be built.
Money is very tight. I understand that
our only bank has not discounted any paper
