DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded Of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury for
its tendency is to contne the morbid matter in the
system, which Of course, must make cure impossi-
ble.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver. stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretons, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body, These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
only medicines which operate in this way it is obyl-

CROPS IN ARoosTooK.-It is said by those
who have visited Aroostook this season that
the crops were never more promising than they
now are. The area upon which wheat, rye,
barley, oats, potatoes and other crops are grow
ing is larger than for many years past, while
at the same time the growth is larger. All
kinds of grain, especially wheat, is tall and
heavy. Potatoes were never more promising
and the rust which often affects them for the
worse is not pe-ceptible on any of the crops
The rye fields are now being harvested. The
hay crop is not SO large as in some years but
the quality is excellent and it has been well
harvested. All vegetation is about a week later
than usual, owing to the wet spring and cool
summer, but if the frosts do not come early
and at this time they would work great in
jury-the season will be on the whole very
prosperous one.

Poland Campaigning.
EMPIRE GROVE, Aug. 81. 1874

EMPIRE GROVE, Aug 81, 1874.
To the Editor of the Press:
The camp-meetng which commenced at this
place on the oath inst. closed early this morn
ing. There are several reasons which contrib
uted to make this meeting grand success
The weather throughout was exceedingly fine,
every day pleasant, and sunshine from begin
ming to end. These grounds are all that can be
desired, a beautiful hard wood grove, affording
an excellent shade The surface of the grounds
is very even and level, with gentle slope. just
enough to nicely accommodate the audience,
when seated for the public services.
Water is brought upon the ground from a
living spring, and is said to possess many of the
medicinal properties of the celebrated ''Poland
Spring" owned by Kicker.
Excellent order prevailed throughout. Row
dyism has been effectually killed out in this
locality.
The preaching at the stand was highly salts
factory, embracing good variety of topics,
well permeated, with evangelical gospel truths.
Several of these discourses were of high or
der among them the sermons of Rev. Messrs.
Chadbourne of Boston, Day of Bath, Bolten of
Lewiston and Hawkes. of Gorham, N. a. would
take first rank. The doctrine of holiness, which
was made a speciality at Richmond and Old
Orchard, was recognized and preached but it
was not suffered to crowd out all other gospel
truths.
The number camped upon the ground was
larger than ever before. There were some
twenty-five large Society tents, and over sixty
family tents and cottages. Many of these cot
tages are built in modern style and are fine
specimens of architecture. Lots were secured
upon which large are to be erected the ensu-
ing year.
The boarding tent was under the superintend-
ence of John Simpson, Esq, of Auburn. Re
spread for his numerous guests an excellent
table, abundantly supplied with all the varie-
ties of the season.
The meeting was fortunate in its presiding
officer, Rev. E. Martin. This was Mr.. Martins
first camp-meeting since his appointment to the
presidency of the Gardiner district. Mr.. Mar
tin, wherever he is known, is popular with the
people, and it is very certain he will loose
nothing in reputation by his excellent manage
ment at this meeting.
The meeting was largely attended. At one
o'clock on Sunday 1900 teams and 1900 perso ms
nad passed through the gate leading to the
grounds. The whole number present on that
day was over ten thousand.
This meeting, religiously, was great sue
cess The church was abundantly blessed with
spiritual showers from on high, while large
number of conversions took place.
At the love feast on Sunday morning 1886 per-
sons spoke in one hour. 1t was one of the
grandest social meetings ever held at any gath
ering. In the afternoon 375 communicates
were seated at the communion table,
None of the religious extravagances that
sometimes crop out at camp-meetings-a slight
development Of which was seen at Old Orch
ard-dsturbed the uniform harmony of Poland
camp-meetng. Everything was done in de-
cency and in order. Taken as whole this
meeting was grand success. p.

THE Argus thinks the county has suffered
gr.evously because $125 were paid to detec-
tive King for working up the Boardman case
last spring. AS result, however, of this
work, prosecutions were issued against Board
man on which he has already paid $50, and
is to pay not less than $3.50 more, making at
least $500 comingto the county. There is also
another prosecution pending against him.
So that, apart from the moral aspects of the
case, there is an actual money gain to the
county. This side of the matter the argus
omitted to state. As we have said before,
the slashing accusations of our neighbor are
to be taken with many grains of salt, espec-
tally at this season Of the year.

The valuation of 1874 was; real estate, ST.
775,300; personal estate, $12,045,7l2. By these
figures it appears that there has been an in
crease for the year in real estate of $685., 800;
personal estate of $537 024 Total increase,
$9O2,924.
There has been proportionate increase in
the polls. The number of polls assessed this
year is 1904, which shows an increase on the
number of last year of TT, and demonstrates
an increase in the population Of about one
thousand.
The present population of the city must be at
least $4,000.
Portland IN its territory on the main land in
cludes but 1866 acres; and if the surrounding
villages were included in the city, as they
doubtless will eventually be, it would contain
fifty thousand Inhabitants, and in territorial
extent iG would then be the smallest incopor-
ated place in the state.
There are no exemptions from taxation now
for manufactures of any description; but q. S.
Government buildings, to the value at least of
81, 000,0 900. are exempted, and church property
of the estimated value of 81, 200, 600. The prop
erty of benevolent, scientific, literary and
charitable associations is likewise exempted to
an amount which, added to those banned, would
make total of at least three millions of dol
lars in value that goes free of all taxation.
That benevolent and literary institutions of
general public nature should be freed from con-
trbuting towards the public expense is, per-
haps, right and proper, but the sane remark
can hardly be extended to the costly church
edifices of the different religious denomina-
| tions
Throughout our country, state and municipal
taxes have become enormous, in most instances
amounting to from one quarter to one half the
| reasonable income of the property taxed In
many sections people are arousing to inquire as
| to the necessity of this state of things. And
one important adjunct in the consummation, is
found in this church exemption. In the Con-
necticut Legislature there was recently an in
teresting discussion on this subject, and cogent
reasons were advanced why the churches should
bear their share of the public burdens. In al
| luding to this discussion, the New Haven Union
observed, "The idea of making all the people
| whether church goers or not, pay for the ex-
pensive and too numerous edifices of the differ
ent religious societies, is arbitrary and unjust.
Better exempt the homes of poor men," In
Missouri and California such exemptions have
been discontinued, and nobody complains.
These remarks are not made from disrespect to
religion or its supporters. Let them do their
good work in their own way and from their
own resources. But, in some instances, the
UNCONVENTIONAL creeds are antagouistic to each
other; and it is manifestly unjust for either
party to be called upon to contribute to the
support Of views and dogmas in which they
have no interest or belief.
The amounts assessed upon the city for the
present municipal year are as follows:
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1874-09-03
The amounts assessed upon the city for q
present municipal year are as follows:

The specific amount ordered by the City
Council to be assessed for city purposes is $685.
325 more than on the.previous year.
In order to arrive at the grand total required
for all purposes from the Portland public, the
estimated income derived from city property,
as given by the auditor, viz: $96,S3O must be
added, which makes the grand total $3.50, 54O..
40.
The rate of taxation the present year is
$3.50 on the $100, which is the same as in 1873
The following list comprises the principal tax
payers of the city; but the amounts set against
the names of the individuals and parties do not
in many cases, indicate their full tax, since
they may own in firms or corporations which
are taxed separately. For more convenient
reference we have divided these lists into three
classes, VIZ: Those who are assessed tax of
$4,000 and upwards; those assessed between
$1,000 and $4,000, those assessed between 5000
