A telegram dated October I'd 1871, which
announces the return of Capt. Weyfrecht
and Lieutenant Payer of the Austrian army,
states that in September an open sea was
found from AZ degrees to 60 degrees east OF
Greenwich, to the horthward of 7S degrees
north latitude. The northeast point was
reached and was 10 degrees north on the
meridian 4S degrees east. Here was found
the most favorable state of ice towards the
north pole, with probable connection with
open sea south of Siberia towards the east.
This appears to be the most favorable route
towards the north pole. DIR. Peterman re-
marks in the last part of this telegram 81

Sunday School Institute for Kennebec County.

Agreeably to call many of the teachers and
other friends of Sunday schools met at the
Baptist church in Hallowell, yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The meeting was called to
order by A. Baker of Gardiner, and after
singing, select portions of scripture were read
and prayer offered by Rev. DR.. Kicker of
Augusta.
c. NJ Bailey of Winthrop, was elected
President, and d. Cargill of Augusta, Sec
rotary. The following Vice Presidents were

was to be lowered to the ground, 40 feet be-
low. The assistant was sent to start up the
power which moved the fall. As Mi. Piper
was alone after this, what happened until he
actually fell is matter of conjecture.
1naications show that as the power was APP
plied TO the fall, it drew the box gradually
toward the door, until the lower edge caught
on the stone door sill and probably began to
raise the inside end of the box from the floor.
Mr.. Piper probably stepped to the door to
free the edge of the box from the door sill.
and at the same time hallooed to the assistant,
who was in another part of the building, to
shut off the power. Mr.. Jennings, who was
not far off, heard Mr.. Piper halloo. The two
younger children of Mr.. P. were on the
ground near by, and hearing their father
hallooing, they state that they looked up and
recognized him, and he then--as he waved
his hand towards them.
Hardly had this recognition been made, be-
fore the lower edge of the box gave way, and
the heavy package instantaneously swung out
with terrible force, hitting Mr.. Piper, who
was standing by the side of it, endeavoring to
free it, and throwing him violently out of the
door His children below were looking on,
and they saw their father as he was thrown
out, with his arms extended, and followed
him as he made the terrible descent.
1t was forty feet to the ground and not
withstanding only moment interviewed before
he struck, yet there was opportunity for sew
eral persons who were in the lower stories of
the mill to observe his fall. One gentleman
says as Mr.. Piper passed by the door of the
story in which he was standing, with arms
extended, as if attempting to clutch hold of
something, he heard him distinctly say, 80,
dear!" He struck the ground near his chill
dren, about fifteen feet from the mill, on his
side and shoulder, with such force as to badly
crush the shoulder and side, and break his
neck.
Mr.. Jennings, hearing the outcry raised by
those who witnessed Mr.. Piper's fall, rushed
down stairs, and in moment reached the
crushed body of Mr.. p. and raised it up.
There was for a moment murmur of the
lips, sounding very much like the cry he ut
tered while falling, and then all was over.
Mr.. Piper, was dead, killed almost instantly
in the very presence of his children, and al
most while giving expression to his love for
them, and within sight of his own house which
he had left in health and strength but short
time before.

From Mr.. Jennings who was near Mr.. Pr

which Mr.. =. was SUPERINTENDENT was shut
down for the day, Mr.. Piper went to the
fourth story of the mill to see to the remov-

which was in the way. An assistant aided
him in pushing the box towards the door of
the tower, and fastening the hook from the
fall, which was suspended from beam or
projection over the door, by which the box

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 prepara-
tons have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
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 q
quarter of 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.
"I hare tested sample Of DR.. Greene's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters erist IN it.
c. T. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as q dress
ing and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. It removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling off,
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
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at

press to any part of the country. Pamphlet
