LECTURE COURSE AT ALFED.-An Alfred
correspondent writes us the following respect
ing its successful lecture course:
Our course is now complete We have
abundance of snow here yet, but we have not
been once disappointed of our lecturer by de-
tanned trains, and have had better attendance
than last winter. L-s
j III. Goodale. ESQ.,, of Nashua, gave us
'sVisit to Alaska" out of his own experience
for our first lecture. He exhibited curiosities
from that new right arm of our country, and
he made us feel the zero chills from that quar-
ter by his vivid picture.
Rev. j. d. Emerson of Biddeford, mustered
spunk enough to ride up on very cold day
and deliver lecture on "spunk'. We con-
Guided if he does as we'll at home in practcing
what he breaches his sermons will do his peO-
PIE as much good as his lecture did us. t
Our good Methodist minister, Rev. G. Mum
ger, gave US our third lecture-"To London
and Back'-and was compllmented with a
large audience. 81
Rev. H. M. Stone of Rochester, told us about
the "Push and PULP of the world, and we felt
quite sure when he closed that there was much
of it everywhere and in everthing-not little
in the speaker.
Rev. s. Baker of Lowell told us about some
of the "Many holes in a Skinner, in other
words the leaky plans in society. But his
| lecture was not like broken cistern which
could hold no water. We all drank from it,
| were filled and intoxicated.
Hon. c. P. Kimball of your city gave us our
last lecture Thursday evening. Our hall was
| full, for everybody wanted to hear Mr.. X.
| We had ridden safely in his honestly made
| carriages and knew we should get nothing
| short of honest convictions from his liberal
heart 1t was now the more enjoyable to
ride 9th him over the "Past, present and
future of Maine"
Our lectures have been great success and
we herewith desire to express our thanks to
those above named who SO highly favored

A Petty SWindle.

Mrs Margaret W. Campbell in letter to
the Woman's Journal gives the following in
cident which may be of use to women who
are not familiar with all the disabilities which
appertain to their sex.
We took the cars on the Maine Central
road, at Bangor, ON Thursday morning. Feb.
9th. While we were waiting in the car for
the train to start, young man with a BUSH
ness air, book and pencil in hand, came
through the car to sell Accident Insurance
policies, reading as he walked along the
conditions, which were, besides the amount
paid in case of accident, resulting in
the death of the insured, a specified
sum called indemnity for want of time in
case of accident not resulting in death. A
lady lii the next seat said she would be irsur-
ed tor four days, and the agent proceeded to
make out her policy and she to count out the
money. When the business was nearly con-
cluded, I turned and said to her, "You will
get nothing for your time if you meet with an
accident. Insurance companies pay ,c0men
only when they are killed." She turned to
the agent and asked if that was the case. He
replied that it was true of all Insurance COM
panies. The reason he gave was that all wo-
men are supposed to be provided for, and
their time OF little consequence. The lady re-
piled that that was just what she wished to
be insured for; her time was of consequence
to her, while she cared nothing for the mon
ey that would be paid to her relatives after
she was dead. So the money was not paid
over for an accident insurance. The agent
leftthe car, finding his business ruined for
that time. No doubt the same thing is being
done every day in hundreds of depots and
cars, and therefore / mention this instance,
hoping to but women on their guard against
such swindlers.

THE suit of James W. Sayward pro ami
against William A. Albee, has engrossed the
attention of the Supreme Court in Rockland
for fifteen days, eliciting intense interest and
resulting in verdict for the plaintiff Of
$1,000. The action was brought for alleged
malpractice on the part of tie defendant, who
is physician and surgeon, in setting the
plaintiffs arm, who is child about four
years of age. The arm was broken rather
more than year since and was set by DR..
Albee, but by unskillful treatment or some
other cause, modification set in and amputa-
ton was resorted to to save the life of the
child. The plaintiff claimed that amputa-
ton was rendered necessary by reason of the
application of the bandages so tightly that
modification ensued. The defendant, on
the other hand, claimed that the dressin.s
were tampered With which rendered amputa-
ton necessary. Hon. A. P. Gould of Thorn
aston, brought the suit, and Hon. A. G.
Jewett of Belfast, defended Dr. Albee. The
case has been carried to the law court by the
defendant. M .t..f. .l..i} ......

The Maine Standard in reviewing that Ito
it, very melancholy topic of the last Presi-
Dental campaign, attempts 10 account for the
rout OF tho Democracy on various grounds,
among which was general brow-beating and
system of threatening by which scores of Re
publicans who desired to support the Liberal
movement or wavered in their old party allie
glance were brought into line. In fearful,
pathetic way, the Stdnda relates an Incl
dent of poor man who early espoused the
"new faith" and was eager to do service un-
der its banner. All at once he lost his zeal.
and being called to book by Democrat, said
that he had lost son in the army, in conse-
quence of which he was now receiving pen
sion that was his neutrality-suspicious. for sup
port, but he had been threatened, by no less
aman than Congressman, that if he voted
the Democratic ticket the pension would at
once be cut off. We cannot relate the affect
ing interview between the prosecuted convert
and the old-liner, so full Of gush, regret and
anguish, which resulted in the member of
the old guard advising the former to yield to
radical outrage and vote as ordered. --
Now we submit if the author of this Affect
ing story is not presuming vastly too much on
the gullibilty of the public when he makes the
statement that a. Congressman would have
the audaut ity to make such threat, or that
there is in Maine man of the intelligence
that the Standard would have us believe the
party it conjures up has, could be SO silly as
to be frightened by snch foolish threat such
pension terminating only with the death of
the recipient. While the Standard was
prowling about the realms of fancy for case
OF outrage on the part of the dominant party.
why did it not state something within the
range of probability; for instance, that the
thieving radicals had threatened to steal the
poor mans last bee hive, or girde his only
Summer Sweeting apple tee, or shave his
horses tail, or double his poll tax, or send
dogs to kill his sheep, or call his daughter
ugly, or that they would send the Indians af-
ter him, or the crows to dig up his corn; in
short, most any probable or possible thing
that could annoy or terrify an innocent. pure
minded old farmer, benighted by reading the
weekly Tribune twenty yearsf If the
STANDARD had only given some case like the
above, its dreary bathos might have invoked
tears where now there is nothing but COM
passion for its lack of Judgment in putting up
its little story.

A Triumphant Record,

In g!ancing back at the history of proprietary med
icines in this country. 1t becomes at once evedept
that Hostetter's Stomach Btters has been the most
succ ssful of them all. The record of its trumphs
covers period of about twenty years, and during
that time it has probably restored to health and Wig
or greater number of debilitated nvalids than all
other tonics and alternatives combined. The
amount of disease and suffering that has been pre-
vented by its extensive use as preventive medicine
is, of course unascerainable, but it is a well known
and undisputed fact that the malaria which gener-
ates periodic fvers and many other distressing and
dangerous disorders seldom, if ever, produced any
injurious, effect upon systems that have been forti-
ed in advance by course of this invaluable vegetable
tonic. ..ll-ss H- ltar -lls on
