December last for the Gulf of Da-

of the Atrato river on the Both OF

The explorations of tbis year
comprehended routes which fol.

Atraio, as we'll as a line said TO

French Vice Consul, who accom-
panied NJ. de Puydt, l obtained
the necessary data to fellow the

to hav. discovered sun init level

exact mercurial barometer, show

The Kennebec & Wiscasset Railroad is to
be constructed on the narrow gauge principle,
n system which is something new in this coun-
try, but of great Importance to all small COM
munities. For the information of our readers
and that they may have an intelligent under
standing in regard to the narrow gauge, we
copy from an article in recent number ofthe
Albany Cultivator, describing ride on the
Denver & Rio Grande Narrow Gauge II. r.,
over which on the l4th of Aug. last, run the
first train of cars that had ever been made up
in this country to run on narrow gauge track.
The track is only three feet in width, and the
rails are only half the weight of those on the
wide gauge. We give the principal part of
the article, as it contains information in re-
gard to the narrow gauge that is valuable, in
asmuch as it is the result of experience;
This road it seems is built without a grant
of land from the government, and will be,
when completed, nearly 900 miles in length
running for the most part through an unbroken
wilderness. For nearly half its length it
runs parallel with the river whence it takes
its Nance and it passes through mining re-
gion of great extent and value. Its average

The meeting at the Winthrop street Uni

there were present the following clergymen
of the denomination c. r. Moor, G.. W.

Skinner of Waterville; Mr.. Paine of Hallow.

number of persons came from surrounding
towns who had recollections of Mr.. Thomas
preaching here more than thirty years ago.
He took his text in Romans 18th chap. lst

usual excellent choir of Winthrop street
church was assisted by Miss Fannie Baker,
and the music was grand, fully equal to the
occasion. Mr.. Thomas is sixtyfour years

The New York Election.
New YORK. Noy. s.

New York, Nov. s, 1871.
1t would be impossible to give you an ad-
equate idea of the surprise and astonishment
with which the results of the election, as
they slowly come in, are received by the peo-
pie of this city. Tammany and anti-Tam-
many share alike in wondering at so great
and unexpected an uprising. As a prominent
banker to-day remarked, it is not an election,
but revolution.
1t is curious to observe the equanimity
18th which the sub strata of Tammanyites.
the thugs and thieves and repeaters, receive
the peoples verdict Their leaders of yester-
day are to-day a by-word and a jibe among
them. Boss Tweed, whose lavish expendi-
ture of money among repeaters and dishon-
est election officials bought him temporary
success, is still the Boss with them, but as
for the res; OF the late great leaders, they
despise them.
In the 18th, Goth and 2lst Wards, where
O'Bren beat Bradley for the Senate, the re-
peaters were employed by both sides but
Tammany, as usual, paid the best. Tweeds
district was carried by fraud, and there is no
doubt that he will be ruled out of the Senate

| ton of the Tweed district: 1.-THE disgrace

ing and final surrender of the ballot boxes in

Jected unless it was disguised. Only Tweed

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
Evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
for the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepare
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous SUBJ
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than
quarter of o century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility of injury.
81 hare tested sample of DIR. Greene's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
Injurious matters erist in it.
JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. II is

gentleman in this city made use of less
than one-half an inch space in our advertising
columns to tell the public that he had tene-
ment to let. On the morning of its first ap-
pearance in the paper a dozen tenantless
men met him midway the Kennebec bridge,
all eager to lease the premises. The adver
tisement remained in the paper several days,
and the advertiser was so beset with appli-
cants that in desperation he rushed to the
printing Office, offering to pay double price
for the advertisement if it could only be
stopped. The advertisement was taken out,
but so great is the influence that goes out
from this method of communicating with the
public, no earthly power can stop the hungry
house hunting public from asking the Colonel
for the lease of that tenement. We want
those who do not believe in advertising to lay
at heart the teachings of this little fact.
