A SMALL TRAGEDY.-Saturday afternoon
Harry Richardson went into Clary's saloon,
near the Portsmouth, Saco and Portland rail-
road depot and called for strong drink, but as
be had taken possession of enough of it pre-
yiously Martin refused his request A fracas
followed ia which Clary was the defendant
Clary's boy, who was at work outside, rushed
in with his shovel in hand and smote Richard
son ON the head with it, knocking him sense
less and cutting a fearful cash on his forehead
When the boy saw the result of his passion he
fsinted away, and this increased the consterna
ton and confusion in the saloon. One man
ran for Dr. Hunt who came and dressed the
wounded mans head, and the rest brought the
boy to-" The police came also, and after due
inquiry thought both parties had been suffi-
GENTLY punished and so made no arrests

rise to fast living and increases the sdesire for

its upmost power. while humanity is rendered
an easy prey to disease The Heart, Liver,

they would signify by a universal "Yea," their
assent to the statement that the MUSTANG

these external ailments, and by most emphat-

tempt to use any other preparation in its stead.
Ever since the introduction at st. Louis, at the
close of the Mexican war, in 1s49, it has proved
signal blessing to horse and man-curing,
with absolute certainty and wonderful des-
patch, such equine diseases as SPAWN, ringbone,
poll evil, scratches, hoof-ail, &c. and relieving
and finally removing the painful affections
which attack the muscles, sinews and external
glands of human beings. 1t is fact beyond
contradiction that for all injuries or complaints
of man or quadrupeds to which an external
remedy is applicable, the MUSTANG LINIsIENT
is preferable to every other,
