Something More Aboat Deering and a

An old lady being asked what she thought OF
the Sermon on the Mount took a huge pinch of
| snuff, drew long breath and with great dgni-
ty said: ''Well it was pretty good, but she
thought he aoent a little too far on some
points,! So it is the world over No matter
how good the object or how pure the motives
OF the promoters of all forward movements
there is always class to throw cold water, and
not only say with the old lady they go too far on
some points, but cry out rings. corruption, po-
ltical Advancement &c. If a new railroad is
projected. the projectors are denounced as
knaves, working for their own interests and
the cry of rings is at once heard. If new
manufacturing enterprise is talked of, it is to
sell somebody's land or building and the cry of
of self interests and corruption is talked Even
an effort to help so worthy an object as the
Maine General Hospital by fine present, is
arply criticised as being done expressly for
political advancement, &c.
Twas not therefore surprised to see the sug
gestion for the annexation of Deering and a
park at once denounced by some anonymous
correspondent as job, a ring, and political
move-all of which is as false and groundless
as it is absurd and stupid.
The only ring have ever heard OF in con-
nection with the park is-the right kind of
ring. One of our most prominent and wealthy
business men, in discussing the move for
park said 'et would be of great advantage to
Portland and I will be one of ten men to buy
the land at the price asked for it and give it to
the city, if they will properly lay it out for a
park"
That proposition stands good to-day; and
some talk was made about trying to find the
other nine that would help buy it to present
to the city, and that is all the talk have ever
heard about any one buying the land referred
to. We all know that there is class of peo-
pie that never move themselves in any cause
except for some personal gain, and it is not
strange that they think Others are actuated by
the same selfish motives.
have talked with large number of promi-
nent men here, and several in Deering; all fa-
vor it here, and nearly all that have talked
with in Deering. But no one expects such
thing can be carried in a day or a month, but
let the matter be fully discussed in fair and
honorable way and l am full in the belief that
the dav is not very distant when the people of
Deering will see that it is for their interest,
under proper safeguards and enactments, to be
annexed to Portland In the mean time let
Portland open wide the door of admission and
patiently wait their coming. c. z. X.

WHES your friend and neishbor in

Of tea" does she really tempt you to
partake of q compound of Prussian
blue, gypsum and tea leaves 10 Glss.
Cow the result of an analysis recently
made, has been that out OF twenty seven
samples Of black tea six only were un-
adulterated. One package, bought at q
very low price, contained not single
leaf Of genuine tea, being probably
what HOOP calls q "sloe" poison. The
green tea was worse. Not q single
specimen but was either painted or
adulterated. This is not done where
sold, but in China. Four parts Of gyp-
sum to three OF Prussian blue is the
regular mixture, and half a pound Of
this sufices for a hundred pounds Of
green tea The Chinese do not doctor
this tea from any malice; but simply
because it makes the leaves look uni
form and pretty, and Foreigners prefer
it,"

II "a stitch in time saves nine," It is
equally certain that a dose Of healthy
tonic like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
taken at this inclemant season of the year,
may save many an unpleasant twinge.
A dose, however, is not sufficient. The
system should be thoroughly charged with
this genial vegetable stimulant and in
vigorant. Commence taking 1t with the
commencement OF the atmospheric
changes which distinguish the winter from
the autumn. Thereby you will avoid
those distul Dances of the digestive and Sc
cretive organs, and those painful diseases
OF the muscles and the nerves OF sensation,
which often render the period OF the year
W hich should be the merrtest season OF
penance and disquietude. The extraordi
nary yigor and regularity which this ex-
hilarating restorative tmparts to the most
important functions Of the body render 1t
an Invaluable remedy for nervous debility,
constip alton, indigestion, torpidity OF the
liver and intermittent fevers.

Editors 1.-THE Beeistst: ss I'll II
In the language of your interesting
friend 4ll;mae. We, too. can say that
Christmas came and passed away as on
other occasions. To some it was day
Of joy and pleasure, and to many 9th .
ere, q day Of sadness and mourning.
At Burning Springs Christmas morn
ing was ushered in (altbough bitter cold)
with the usual amount Of cheerful
faces and greetings. and all seemed to
enjoy themselves in their several voca-
tons; but before the setting Of the sun
proclaimed the close OF day the entire
community was startled by the an
nouncement Of the death OF one OF
their fellow citizens, under the following
circumstances: Some three or four
men took their guns aud went out to
some old fields, near Burning Springs,
to hunt rabbits; and, as Mr.. John
Thornton was walking along with his
shot gun in bis. hand he slipped and
fell with the lock of the gun striking
the hard frozen ground. causing the
gun to 90 off and the entire charge
entered the eye OF Mr.. j. Malons, who
was but a few steps behind Mr.. Thorn
ton, causing death in about forty min
utes. Truly in the midst of life we
are 10 death" No blame can be at
tached to Mr.. Thornton, as the jury
OF inquest decided the occurrence
entirely accidental. Mr.. Malona
leaves a wife and several children
to mourn his unrimely death. He was
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
And still another sad and fatal occur
renee took place a few miles above
Spencer, a few days ago. Mr.. Henry
Bunion, Jr., feeling a little unwell,
took a large dose OF calomel and soon
after drank quantity OF butIermilk
and ate quite heartily OF picked beans
and krout, which caused his death in a
few hours. People who dabble with
active medicines and then eat ,promis-
cuously had better make note OF this
sad occurrence. The peach buds are
all killed in this section OF country.
We are sorry to hear of the Governor
vetoing the removal Of the Capital, for
we still contend that Spencer s nearer the
geographical center of our State than
Charleston. The horse disease issbout
PLAYED out" There are quite extern
siye REVEALS of religion going on in
various parts Of our county. under the
united efforts OF the several denomina-
tons OF this country. How pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in
peace and harmony, The REGISTER
