The bill exempting for three years the
Kennebec dam from the incumbrance of a
tshway, was yesterday passed to be engrossed
by vote of Ill to 81. This bill, after pro-
tracted investigation by the Committee on
Fisheries, was recommended to the legisla-
ture for adoption, and has since been fully
debated and considered by the House. Its
cheerful adoption by SO nearly unanimous
vote of that branch indicates its general APP
proval by the public.

DR.. O, Fitzgerald, the we'll known and

DR.. 0, Fitzgerald, the well known and
justly celebrated clairvoyant physician and
surgeon, has arrived and taken rooms at the
Cony House in this city, where he is ready to
wait upon all who wish to avail themselves of
his skill and wonderful power. He seems to
have an insight into diseases, their cause and
cure, rarely possessed by any man, and has
performed wonderful cures that have aston
ished everybody. The recent case he has had
under treatment, that Of Mr.. Payson Tucker,
of Portland, General Ticket Agent on the
P. s. & ?. Railroad, whom the best ply sicians
gave over as incurable, demonstrates his skill
in extreme cases. He assures the public that
most of those diseases which have hitherto
been considered incurable, can be readily and
speedily cured under his mode of treatment.
He examines all free of charge, and those
who desire to avail themselves of his practice
should call on him at once, as his stay here is
limited, engagements in other places pressing
upon him. The Doctor drives a splendid
team, consisting of pair of dark eolored
matched stations, attached to one of Kim
balls prize sleighs. The cost of the sleigh
was $3.50, and the gold mounted harnesses,
$3.50. This is one of the most magnificent
teams that has appeared in the streets Of Au-
gusta for some time, and it would be hard to
find its superior anywhere. The Doctor is
accompanied by his gentlemanly business
agent Mr.. II. Smith, who is well known to
the travelling public, having been in different
capacities on the Portland Kennebec Rail-
road for several years.

The Won, Cent. Tunnel.

On Christmas afternoon, the work
men on the French and Italian sides OF
/ the Mont Cennis tunnel had come so
near each other as to exchange greeting
through the barrier Of rock that still d.
vides them, and on the following day
that barrier was itself removed. While
Northern France is drenched with
blood, and echoes to the sound of hos

a passage through the Alps, Of estab-
fishing perpetual and easy line of

! is satisfactory to see that whatever may
be the changes of dynasties or of inter-
national relations, this great work of
engineering has gone steadily on, and
that the world will soon enjoy the ben

The tunnel through Mont Cents, as
most Of our readers know, is s miles in
length, without a shaft. Its cost is
reckoned at about $4,000, 900. The
railway will plunge into the side of the
mountain at FOUrneau, some three miles
from Modane, in the valley of Arc, aud
will emerge In Italy, near q spot called
NardOnneche. The closet calCulators
have assigned the date of April, 1871,
for the completion of the tunnel, and
estimated that about six months more
would be needed for the opening Of the
railway. This was founded on the ex-
peotation Of eXcavating at about the rate
of no metres-Or, say 800 feet, a month
reckoning the progress at both ends.
But, partly owing to greater ease than
was looked for in penetrating portions
Of the rock, and partly to improvements
in the tools employed, the work has
been more eXpeditlously executed. Itis
now probable, ifnO political complioa-
tiOns prevent it, that the whole viii be
finished, and trains running through by
July lst of the present year.

ABR1DE's OUTFIT. IN GERMANY.


TIE bridal outfit furnished by the
BRIDES parents consists chiefly of linen,
both household and body linen-general-
ly sufficient to last lifetime, and adapt
ed to the rank and means Of the bride.
Thus the rich mother buys what is best
and finest in the shops; the less rich one
buys up gradually years before the Oo-
Casion, good strong household linen,
carefully kept in lavender, and cut up
and sewed by the girl herself when her
marriage is settled. The poorer classes
do the same, beginning almost at the
birth of the girl; and the peasant wO-
man grows or buys her fax, spins it her.
self, and lays by a provision of strong
linen IduTable as sail-olothl for her
daughter, as her mother and grand
mother did before her. The pride of a
German woman, no matter of what
rank, is in her linen-press' and it Is ex-
hihited to friends and discussed with
gOssips as one Of the chief subjects Of
a female conversation. 1t happens rare
ly that any well-titted-out woman has
to add any material store to her meas
ure. The jewelry is invariably the pres
ent of the bridegroom. The wedding
dress is likewise graduated. From the
seTvieeable black silk Of the artizan's
wife it aseends through all shades of use
fulness-b brown, dark blue, gray light gray
to the simple white taffetas, and the
costly, white mOire antique. Besides
this, the prudent 'middle-olass' mother
carefully puts into little purse the piec-
es Of gold provided by the governor for
another pretty gown, and give it to the

How a Builder stuck TO hi. oontraor

PEOPLE who have built houses for
themselves, and, in the never VARYING
experience Of all, oveTrun the contrae-
tors estimate, may find-some consola-
ton in the fact that there was one man
who had his house built exactly as he
ordered it, and didn't alter line of his
original plan, or oveTrun the original
contract price.
This was a peppery old sea captain
who sketched out his own plans (bein0
something of draughtsman), of his
modest tWo-StOry, green blinded wood
en- mansion, and summoned his capen-
ter and demanded what he would
charge to build the house for him exact
ly after the plan, to be done in six
months.
But, Captain said the knight of The

won't have anything put in. Obey or
ders if you break owners
Very well, so, be it, said Shavings,
rather nettled, and the price was fixed
for dwelling, exactly according to plan,
to be finished in six months time, and
the Capatain sailed away. On his re-
turn home he Was-waited on by the
builder, and the new mansion visited.
Its exterior was quite correct-pretty
green blinds, neat door with trellis and
all complete, and so were first floor, en-
try and rooms. The Captain was pro-
fuse in Communications. iAnd now
said he, we will go up to the cham
bers.'
'All right said Shavings, come out

The Captain was fairly caught, for in
his drawing he had utterly forgotten this
important portion Of his dwelling, and
his peppery temper had prevented the
carpenter fiom pointing IL out to him.
Since then it is said the Captain always
gets in a passion whenever anyone stares
at him.

How a Father Recovered a Long Lost
Son.

A correspondence to the Dubuque Times
writing from Waverly, Iowa. under
date Of the 14th inst. says:
Charles Mccormack is the father of
eight sons, all now grown up to man
hood. The family formerly lived in
Madison, Wisconsin; in fact, the family
were brought up there. About fifteen
years ago, Charles, the fifth son, I think
was taken with the western gold fever,
and like many others, went to seek his
fortune in the hidden recesses of moth
er earth upon the Pacific shore. For a
short time his parents heard from him
occasionally, but after time he ceased
to write. AS years rolled by his faith
er's family gave him up as lost to them.
They mourned his death and when his
name was mentioned it was as referring
to the memory of the dead. In 1854 the
family removed TO this place, where all
but one son now resides. In the mean
time our hero was not dead, but was
delving away for the shining ore. In an
unfortunate hour the mine in which he
was laboring, eaved in upon him, and
only by terrible efforts he was rescued
alive. He recovered from the effect of
the fearful accident, but in a wounded
and mangled condition, after suffering
the amputation of one of his arms he
sustained other permanent injuries, As
may be supposed, fifteen years Of ex-
posure and adventure made great diff

EXCHANGE IN AN OMNIBUS.

THE New York Mail tells of a Brook.
lyn lady who took passage on a broad.
way omnibus with only five dollars in
her purse, and who was principally

loW--passenger, who was dressed in
the most magnificent style and wore on

After getting out of the Omnius she
found her pocket had been picked. The
editor goes on to say:
She wondered, all the way there, who
had picked her pocket, and blamed al-
ternately, all the honest people who
had ridden with her on the stage; but
she never for moment hRrbOred q suss

bridal day. The wedding gifts, we are
assured, give rise occasionally to some
little grumbling, but even these are

The first principle is that the gifts are

young lady. Accordingly they are in
variably adapted to the rank, station,
and means Of the young couple, and ar
ranged on a precOncerted plan, so that
duplicates are impossible; yet every Civ

And it makes Us very grave.

In the race for wealthy life,

Deeds of trust on sands of time;
