The TO0thache as q Business and q Science,

| There are some objects in the pathway of
every man that are directly associated with a
sense of present pain or an apprehension and
dread of pain to come. For instance, let a
man OF weak nerves sit in DR.. Roberts dental
| chairto have big tooth ''torn up by the roots"
| and while waiting for the operator to select
his biggest jaw cracker, he casts lnger-
| ing glance out of the window. His eyes rest
upon the signs of Gould & Adams, Starbird's
Photographic Saloon, the Standard Office and
Chicks Job Office. These become fixed in
| his mind, so that really the operating chair
proves to be first rate advertising medium for
these several places Of business. Never after
will that individual inquire at Gould & Adams
for ''calfs head and pluck without being re-
minded by the grinning jaws that he had pluck
enough to have his teeth extracted without
the aid of any of the anesthetics. He may
will put him in mind of the lie he told when
he said to the dentist that his tooth didn't
ache The pictures hanging in Starbird's
show case will suggest the cheek he put on
when the old stub grumbled; and Chicks
Job Office will remind him that job was pa
tent under the afflietion of boils. but was
never put to the test of bunkum toothache,
the Creator knowing that in that case he
would certainly jar. But, thanks to science,
our dentists have now the means at hand of
agony, and making the operation 1--WE will not
say pleasure, if we know ourselves,) but
simply bearable. And in speaking of dem
tistry, it is worth ones while to sit for few
minutes as spectator, merely, in the operat-
ors office, and see the victims come and go,
watching the revelation of various and Curl
GUS temperaments. Some are ''as bold as
sheep" and place themselves at once in the
chair open their mouths, "grin and bear" the
work of the cold steel, arise, pick up their
hats, and are off as though nothing bad hap
pened. Others come TO the door, open it
gently, glance in, turn about and march off,
soon to return and timidly ask the doctor if
he ''thinks it'll hurt muchf" and are quite
sure cit can be saved, or the narre killed"
Women are found to be more courageous
than the men in submitting to the operation
of having teeth extracted. 1t is the testmo-
ny of all dentists that timid, shrinking wo-
man exhibits twice the nerve of the ordinary
man, under the trying circumstances to which
We allude. Persons have often wondered
why it was, when they have started from their
homes with a jumping toothachc, that the
pain always subsidized on reaching the door of
the dentist This is owing to natural causes
The temporary excitement stimulates the
entirely allay the pain for the time being.
Because quiet produces pain of this kind,
persons afflicted have the most severe tooth.

The Railroad Accident-Running OF the Traius.

Nearly hundred men were engaged all
. disaster in Farmingdale, removing the debris,
relaying the track, and getting the damaged
cars in a condition to be moved. About
twenty feet of the track was ripped from the
road bed. The cavity made by the wash-out
was about fifteen feet in length and ten feet
deep. The brook running through the cul
vert is at the present time very small. This
place was disturbed by the rain two or three
weeks since, but was supposed to be perma-
nently repaired. The track was cleared and
the damage to the road repaired about 8
o'clock last night so that there will be no inter-
ruption to the trains to-day The cars will
be repaired at the Company's works in this
city and at Waterville. The rear Pullman

damaged in much the same way; the internal
arrangements of all being quite undsturbed.
