SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Body ava faimd Disease,

Such is Dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
are too intimately allied for the enc t, suffer with
out the other that DYSPEPSIA and dispondency are
inseparable 1t may be added, too that irritation of
the stomach IS almost invariably accompanied by
irritation of the temper
The invigorating and tranquilizing operation o
Hostetter's Blttsrs is most powerfully developed in
cases of indigestion The first effect OF this agree
able tonic is comforting and encouraging. A mild
glow pervades the system, the chronic uneasness In
the region of the stomach is lessened and the ner-
vous restessness which characterizes the disease s
abated. This improvement is not transient. IL Is
not succeeded by the return of the old symptoms
with superadded force, as is always the case wheh
unmedicated stimulants given for the complaint
Each dose seems to impart permanent accession
Of healthful IMMIGRATION. But this is not ALL Inc
aperient and anti bilious properties of the prepare
ton are scarcely secondary in importance to Its
tonic virtues. II there is an overflow OF bile the
secretion is soon brought within proper limits, and
1t the bileary organ is inert and torpid it Is toned
and regulated. TIE effect upon the dlschargpe
organs is equally salutary and in cases of constr
patton the cathartc action is just sufficient to pro-
duce the desired result gradually ana without pain
The Biters also promote healthy evaporation from
season when sudden spells of raw, unpleasant
weather are apt to check the natural perspiratioI
and pro luce congestion OF the liver, coughs ant
colds The best safeguard against all disease is bod

ARoosTooK COUNTY,

A correspondent of the Lewiston .Journa
says that there are good lots of State land
within few miles of Caribou village. He is
unable at present to state the exact distance
but probably not more than three or four
miles, and if man is willing to 90 back into
the woods a little farther than those that have
preceded him, he can get excellent State land,
in town or plantation free from debt. The
roads leading back where the State lands are
located, grow poorer the farther back you 90,
put each succeeding year growing better as
the settlers thereon apply their willing Iabors
to their Improvement. The lots contain from
10 to 100 acres. The price of State selling
land is 90 cents per acre, to be paid in labor on
the roads USUALLY in making a road to his own
LOTT so that the settler is really as well off as If
it were a free gift.

On the first page to-day will be found that
part of the report of the Commissioners on
the Equalization of the Municipal War Debt
which relates to the subject of paper credits.
The part of the report having reference to the
proper work of the Commission, viz: the de-
termination of the sums due each town under
the act OF equalization, was long since made
public. The commissioners had to deal with
the paper credit question only incidentally.
The State authorized them to settle the de-
tails of reimbursement to towns for men fur
nlshed to the military service of the United
states. In the course of their labors they
tound towns claiming reimbursement for pa.
per men bought at round price. They could
not recognize these claims and so they were
Compelled to take cognizance Of the paper
credit frauds. Messrs James A. and Dennis
Milliken and Nathan Dane are among the
worthiest citizens ofthe State. Men of diff
ferent stamp would have merely ignored the
claims that were not legitimate and passed by
a matter only incidentally before them in 81,
lence. But the patriotic impulses of the Com
missioners led them to different line of con-
duct, and they have earned the thanks of their
fellow citizens from the fullness with which
they have explained the methods adopted to
rob our municipalities of hundreds of thou
sands OF dol ars and the United States of men
that were sorely needed
It only remains for committee of the LIE.
gislature to bring home to individuals the
crime which is now positively known to have
been committed. For years the names of GER
tain men have been popularity connected with
these frauds. Some of them have claimed
that the report of the committee on equaliza-
ton would show their innocence. 1t has not
proved so. No one is exculpated by that re-
port, and it leaves all the suspected parties in
the same situation that it found them. If
these nen are guilty it is time they were pun
ished, or ifnot punished, at least exposed. If
they are innocent they have already rested too
long under reproach. There is no need to
call names that are already on everybody's
lips. 1t is one of the most remarkable facts
in our State history that men whose reputa-
ton has for years been furnished by their al
Aged connection with so disreputable trans
actions should all the while have suffered so
little from social ostracism or legal penalties
Let the present Legislature give us an inves-
tigation SO satisfactory, so free from all sus-
picion of collision with the guilty parties, so
thorough and exhaust tive in every particular
that no one hereafter shall complain that the
skeleton in our State closet is still unrevealed.
