Irritable DISQUALIFICATION not only
effects the physical health. but the dispositions
and tempers of its victims. The dyspeptic
becomes, too. in measure demeralizsd by his
suferings. He is subject to fits of irritation.
sullenness. or despair. as the case may be. A
preternatural sensitiveness which he cannot
control. leads him to misconstrue the words
and acts of those around him. and his inter-
course even with those nearest and dearest to
him isnot un frequently marked by exhibitions
Of testiness foreign to his real nature. These
are the. mental phenomena Of the disease, Tor
which the invalid cannot be justly held respon-
sible, but they occasion much household dis
comfort. 1t is to the interest of the homo cir
Gle. it is essential to family harmony as well as
TO the rescue of the principal sufferer from
state not far removed from incipient insanity
that these symptoms of mental disturbance be
promptly removed. This can only be done BY
removing their physical cause. arrangement
of the functions of the stomach and its allied
viscera, the liver and the bowels. Upon these
three important organs Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters act simultaneously. producing q thor
oush and salutary change in their condition.
The vegetable ingredients Of which the prepa-
ration is composed are Of renevating. regu-

liant which lends activity to their remedialvir-
tues is the purest and best that can be extracted
from the most wholesome Of all cereals. viz;
sound rye. No dyspeptic can take this genial
restorative for a single week without expe-
riencing a notable improvement in his general
health. Not only will his bodily sufferings
abate from day to day. but his mind will re-
cover rapidly from its restlessness and irrita-
bility. and this happy change will manifest
itself in his demeanor to all around him.

MR.. VIM. E. BAKER, who lives at Ridge Hill

witty method of celebrating the Fourth of July
and honoring pet heifer at the same time.
Bossy was year old Monday, and had no
name; so Mr.. Baker called together the wise
men and women OF the Hub to stend as god
fathers and gCdmothers and select name for
the pet. So they came, grave end reverend
seigneurs, and strong-minded women, with
their manuscript poems and pretty little speech
es and long strings of choice names. Mr.. Baker
Sc. 1ed them up an elegant-loolirg collation. in

tons of the day, were nicely placed in attract
i've spots, each telling his owl story in stiff
pasteboard. However, a realrepast was actual
ly partaken Of; and then name was selected
for the heifer. Then funny little poems were
read, witty speeches delivered, comic prizes de-
Hvered to the guests, End mrsic followed, MAX

Thursday Morning, July 7, 1870.
From the Bos ton Advert:ser.l

In 1868 Mr.. Lynch had a majority of over
two thousand for Congress in the first dis
trict of Maine, the total poll being more than
thirty-one thousand. He has been nominated
again after exceedingly bitter opposition
which has hardly basis of any sort except
on the absurd ground of locality. Inc nom
nation has been followed by a bolt on the
part of the only Republican paper IN the dis
affected county of York. We would not eS-
aggerate the importance of such movement,
but we believe that it is backed by a dssatis-
faction throughout the tcounty sufficiently
strong, if well organized, to cause the election
of an opposition candidate. Maine has not
been Represented in Congress by a Democrat
since Mr.. Sweat ran in by few score MAORI
ty in 1852. The district is the nearest to be-
ing doubtful of all in the State, and it is con-
sequently there that bolt would be most
dangerous. We hope therefore that the petty
quarrels, which rest sat their on best county
pride,will be allayed land that the Republicans
wilwork together in harmony for the COM
mon success.
Mr.. Lynch has deserved well of his con-
stituents and of New England. He has taken
hold OF the question of our navigation inter
ests with vigor and intelligence. The good
of his State demands that the effort to do
something for those interests be not abaddon-
ed, Ii the people of the district think that a
new man, without special experience in that
direction, without knowledge of the ways
of doing business in Washington, and with
out personal acquaintance with other repre-
sentatives, can do more than Mr.. Lynch, they
ought by all means to suffer him to be defeat
ed. But large majority of them evidently
think otherwise.
The Aduertiser overestimates the disafiec-
ton in York County, because the Union and
Journal refuses to support the nomination of
Mr.. Lynch. But the course of that paper in
boiling regular nomination, is not approved
by many, even by those who were anxious to
secure the nomination of York County man.
They are far too sensible TO aid the election of
Democrat, simply because they were not
gratliied by the nomination of their first
choice. We have conversed with more than a
score OF prominent political gentlemen in va
rious parts of that county since the day of
convention, and not one of them believes that
Mr.. Lynch would lose 100 votes ofthe election
were it to be held Immediately, and time will
convince the most considerable of those who
now feel most disappointed, that to oppose
regularly nominated candidate for no other
reason than because of his location, would be
mean revenge and one they can i'll afford to
indulge.
