The Fourth i'm Halifax, N. a.

10 We E0atOr OF the Press:
A most agreeable impromptu celebration Of
our nations birthday was held at the Inter.
national Hotel in this city. The festivities con-
sisted of dinner at o'clock in the evening,
served up by mine host j. T. Wiley, esq, late

whose praise as landlord (as we'll as his fare)
is in the mouth of every guest; at which were
seated some sixty persons, fair proportion of
whom were ladies, and such a respectable
chance gathering would be wonder from any
other country.

this port, presided with characteristic ability
and graceful dignity, and William L. Lowell,
esq.,, the successful and popular banker, for
merly of Maine, oficiated as Vice President,
The dining hall and reception rooms were dec
Grated with flags and portraits of our distin-
guished men, and day and evening we wore
badges OF our national colors, in the prepare
ton OF which our patriotic hostess and other
falr assistants were diligently employed. Thir-
teen regular toasts were announced in honor
of the original number of States, several of
which were appropriately responded to- The
President opened the ball upon "The day we

OF Massachusetts,, and a neat one to sour fair
country women" closed the formal mart of the
proceedings. A letter was received from VIM.

How We Used to be Pby.icked.

Who does not remember the time when spring
health! Nomatsr for wry faces, the inevitable salts
and SIENNA, rhubarb, calome and jalap, must be
administered. These "spring medicines the young
STEERS were told, were to keep them hale and hearty
during the summer. We all know now that this
was talacy: that new vigo, not depletion, is what
solstce As preparation for the enervating effects
OF oppressive summer weather, a course OF Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is highly expedient. This ia.
nous vegetable preparation has thee prominent
properties 1t renOvates, purifes, and regulates all
the functions of the body. 1t is composed excus-
lively Of pure vegetable productions. viz the
tial principle OF Monongahela Rye, and the most
ef1cacious tonic and Alternative roots, barks, and
gums known to medical botanists. Hence, it is an
absolutely safe medicine, and no tincture of the
Pharmacepeia can compare with 1t either in purity,
in the variety ofits objects, and its comprehen-
sive results. Happily for mankind the theory that
it was necessary to PROSTATE patient in order to
cure him; is forever exploded, and the true philo-
sophcal doctrine, that vigor is the great antagonist
ofdsease, has taken its place. Hostetters Bitters
is an invigorant, and hence it is the proper medi-
cine for the feeble at this most trying season Of the
year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, as
there are innumerable vile initiate in the mar
ket. Look TO the ornamental stamp, the engrav-

The Androscoggin County MedicalAssocia.
ton took important action on the Question Of
prescriptions of spirituous liquors by pbysi-
clans at its meeting last week. A report read
to the society showed that of the liquor sold
at the Auburn and Lewiston agencies anly
one and one-ha!f per cent was ordered bv
physicians. Wherefore the Society resolved
unanimously that they pronounce false the
charge that physicians commonly prescribe
liquors and that they would, "ifleft to them
serves, Danish liquors altogether, confident
'ns' soc'e.y as a whole would be immeasur-
a0ie oenentted thereby" The last resolution
was as follows:

THAT sterling old Democrat, Mr.. JEFF. Da-
Wis, seems fated to have insults and mortifica-
lions inflicted upon him at every hand. Not
long since in Mississippi, he visited the old
plantation to find it in possession of one of his
tate chattels who is now thriftier planter
than his former master. Unmindful of the
past, ne welcomed Mr.. Davis with that hospi-
ta!'ty that has long distinguished the Southern
chivalry. Next Mr.. Davis went to Richmond
Va, to find that the old Executive mansion
had been converted into school-rooms for the
colored people. But the latest indignity is
that OF his office-anxious brethren in the
North, demanding with all the superiority
that he used to assume towards them, that he
keep still and make no more speeches until
after the Presidential election in 1872.

The Cruise of the Yacht Fleet.


To the Editor of the Press: ~ e ft
The Eastern Yacht Squadron arrived at this
place to-day, after most exciting sail up the
Penobscot Bay. The wind came round to the
northwest and blew a perfect gale. the heavi-
est squalls coming off the Camden Hills. Most
of the fleet were obliged to reef and at times
the screaming of the wind through the rigging
was appalling to landsmen unused to rough
weather at sea. But no accident occurred, and
the fleet keeping well together, dropped thei,
anchors within few minutes of each other
there being less than two minutes difference
between the three sloops, the Coming, Sadie
and Ray. The little Bay CALAMITY held hei
own, carrying full sail and fully indicating
her fame as a fast vessel and good sea boat
We shall accompany the fleet to Mt. Desert
and then turn our course homeward. RAY.
