The Somerset Reporter says that on the
night of the 10th inst five harnesses, buff
fao, and a quantity of honey were stolen
from, different persons in the town Of Mercer
On the Wednesday night following gig was
stolen from Mr.. Ford. On Friday evening,
a harness was taken from Mr.. Drew's stable
and one from Mr.. Gilman's. These were
taken in the evening as both stables were Sc
curely fastened by nine o'clock. Saturday
evening about nine o'clock man went into
Mr.. Loves field, caught his horse and was
leading him off, when he was discovered. He
left the horse and made off, but not discour-
aged by his ill-success, he took horse OF
Mr.. Boyington in New Sharon and made his
escape. This must be the work of a gang.
Mr.. Decker's house and barn in Mercer. were
consumed by fire last Thursday morning.
The barn contained about thirty tons of hay 3;
some two or three hundred bushels of grain,
a threshing machine and farming utensils.
The furniture in the house was saved. 1t
was undoubtedly set on fire as the fire was
first discovered in the barn. 1t is thought by
many that the gang who took Mr.. Ford's gig
went into the barn for the purpose of plum
dering and accidentally or Intentionally set it
on fire.

The line of railroad from Belfast to point
of connection with the line of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad at Burnham, a distance of thir-
ty-two miles was SO far completed as to allow
the running of trains through, on Saturday
last. This line is built upon the broad
guage, and in the most thorough and substantial
manner, as the Portland Press is informed by
gentleman who has passed over the line.
Its bridge masonry is of the most substantial
character, all its culverts arc of the best ma
sorry and of ample dimensions; its bridges of
the most permanent character, and the grade
line so raised above the general level of the
country, as to be easily cleared of snow in
the winter, and entirely free from injury by
floods The track is laid with the best of
sleepers, and first class iron, with fish joints,
coming up to the standard of a first class rail-
road built under the inspection of the
officers of the Maine Central Railroad Co., to
which company it is now under perpetual
lease at cost of SSO006o. The road has
been built for money principally received
from the sale of Belfast city bonds The
Maine Central Railroad Company take pos
session of the line November LIST, 1870. The
Company are busy in finishing up the bal
lasting of the line, trimming slopes &C., i'll
order to bring it up to the agreed standard
within the time limited therefor in the con-
tract of lease.

EDITOR CosMoPoLITE:-Id desire, as an unsolici.
ted tribute to the merits of HELMBoLD's BUGHU
ana for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as
myself, to say that after consulting many eminent
physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised
remedies, IN the vain hope of finding relief from
aggravated kidney and bladder diseases from
which have suffered excessively for many years
good fortune finally suggested to me HELMBoLD's
BCCHC, which commenced using with little faith,
and no apparent beneficial effects for about
month. At the expiration of that time however,
thought commenced to experience slight relief
which encouraged me to persevere in its use and
now at the expiration of four months, although
am an nfrm old man, nearly seventy eight years
Of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex.
pected to tavorably affect they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakabe relief and
permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbold's valuable
discovery, that feel ought to publicly record the
fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and valuable
suggestion to the public Yours respectfully,

II. T. IIELMBOLD claims a superior mode of

while engaged in the DRUG business in the city of
Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the
alarming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Aid-

sexes. These diseases were justly attracting AS
much attention as diseases of the Liver or any
other vital organs the body. Upon the sound and
healthy condition of these important organs, the
healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys-
TEN and Liver, and consequently the happiness oil
the entire human family, depends. That Buchu
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre-
pare it so that would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. 1t must not be made az

The popular demonstrations in England

The popular demonstrations in England
In favor of republican government in
France have been of character to arrest
general attention. The correspondent Of
the New York Herald describes that OF
Monday evening as zone Of the greatest
popular assemblages ever seen in the
British capital For nearly two hours,
says he, 1.-THE streets leading to Clerken-
well, Bethnall Green and Holborn were
alive with the successive professions OF
the workingmen's societies and the demo-
cratic associations of the metropolis. Each
body of men as it advanced along the
crowded thorougfares, preceded by bands
of music and Illuminated by torches and
ytransparencies, was followed by repeated
cheers from the people who thronged the
sidewalks Many houses and shops along
the line of procession were Illuminated,
and from tn. windows of many others de-
pended in the eas-light the flags of France,
England, and America. By o.
clock Trafalgar Square was one dense
mass Of people from the front of the Ma
.tional Academy to around the statute OF
King Charles
While the speeches and resolutions were
not unfriendly to the German people, there
was manifest feeling against the German
princes. The animating spirit was that
of republicansm Allusions to the United
States were frequent, and received with
the warmest applause, while the flags OF
France and the United States with en-
blems OF liberty were conspicuous. One
correspondent says he counted no less
..than thirty American flags along the
strand between Somerset House and Traf-
algar Square. Whether the British Gov
eminent will modify its course towards
France on account of such demonstra-
tons OF sympathy, does not appear; but
the evidence which they afford of the deep
and strong impulse pervading the COM
mon classes of people in favor Of govern
ments by the people, is one of the "signs
of the times that monarchs tear. Let
war continue in Europe any length OF
time, and this spirit of independence and
freedom may play parts more wonderful
than the dethroning of Napoleon and the
capture of Paris by the Germans.

l propose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not patent medicine The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine is publicity" If somebody should dis

he be to withhold his knowledge We have yet TO
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to

Nor have we asked Pckwicks, affected prudes,
or, in short men vino are posses of every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin'

has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. Ii is the prejn

to using your Extract Buchu.

Used remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired OF ever
getting we'll and determined to use remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cuoets
and juniper berries, il occurred to me and my phyt.
ican excellent combination; and with his al
vice, after an examination Of the article and con-
sutng again with the druggist, concluded TO ny

The question of the settlement OF the
terms of peace between Prussia and
France is disturbing all Europe. The po-
sition of Russia is. that Of all the powers
not engaged in the war She makes haste
to say that she has some interest in the
terms of peace and a right to interfere if
they do not please her. Prussia has won
her bone but she will not be able to keep
it if her jealous neighbors can prevent 1t
without too much cost.
