upon the organization is not so large as has
been usual, when there have been more excit-
ing contests pending. A very respectable
crowd of patriots are very eagerly pressing their
claims upon the members for the minor offices
of the legislature. The friends of the respect
i've candidates for the presiding offices are so
sanguine of the success of their favorites that
it would be unfair to state individual opinions
There will not be much excitement though the
patriots were never able to show more trans
cendent deserts The legislative caucuses will
come off tomorrow evening.

VIM. Caldwell of Augusta, Treasurer, and Col.

gor, and J. w. Maxfield of Bath, financial

State Convention in Lewiston the last week in
June. Many topics were discussed and the

ization at the first meeting of the year.

THE strong points supporting the nse of Eel
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites are,
that while it takes immediate hold upon the
system, in stimulating the Liver, regulating
and strengthening the muscles of the Heart,
Stomach, Lungs, &C., it has no debilitating eff
feet under any circumstances; and while its
continued use is marked by the general toning
of the system, without producing constipating
efforts, it may be stopped at any time without
the usual disagreeable effect following the dis
continuance of some otherwise valuable tonics.
These characteristics are particularly valuable
to cOnsumptives and other debilitated invalids
and are peculiar to this preparation.

This is to certify that have used
the Boston Granulated Soap i'm
my Family for the past year, and
like it very well. There is one
thing about it, it is the best soap
have ever used, and those to whom
L have given it will say the same.
There is no trouble to use it; put it
iu the tub with the water and
clothes, and you can see the dirt
start out without any labor. 1t
does not rot the clothes that have
seen i'm the year we have used it,
and will say this much. L have
got a good Washing Machine, but
since using this soap can do the
washing easier without the ma
chine, than we could using the
other washing soaps with the ma
chine.
One thing more, 1 will say L don't
get five or ten dollars for this no
tice, but do it of my own free will,
as really think if any person will
give it one fair trial they wi y
the same.

PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTIoN.-A new
light dawned upon the world with the intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERs twelve years
ago. Drastic purgation went out restoration
and renovation came in. The eyes of the peo-
pie were opened to the great fact that the way
to cure disease is to strengthen and support its
victims, not to place them at its mercy by de-
priving them of the little strength they have.
1t soon became evident that as means of in
fusing vitality into the feeble system, regula-
ting the secretions, curing indigestion, and re-
forming bilious habit of body, no medicinal
preparation then known was at all compare
BILE to the new restorative. Since then hum
dreds of attempts have been made to rival the
Bitters. They have all failed, and the GRAND
REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREATMENT, which
was commenced in 1860 is still in progress.
Nothing can stOpi for it is founded on the
principle, now universally Acknowledged, that
physical vigor is the most formidable antagon-
ist of all human ailments, and experiment has
shown that PLANTATION BITTERs is a peerless
invigorant, as well as the best possible safe
guard against epidemic disease.
