WEED TONIC and SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
and if taken before the lungs destroyed speedy

Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pumonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it of by easy expectora
tion for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
TO enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schencks
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing

THE CENTRAL VERMONT RAILRoAD.-The

Missisquoi Railroad doesn't earn enough to pay
the interest on its bonds by considerable. and
is never likely to on account of its having been
laid on an old plank road The earnings of the
Rutland road have also fallen short Of the IN
terest over 100000 in one year. The interest
on the first and second mortgages and the rent
of the Vermont and Canada Railroad being al
ready defaulted, a suspension of payments on
the Rutland rents will soon be petitioned for,

Wolfboro', n, H., to the Boston Journal says
that early on Monday morning Mr. Charles w.
varney of that place, accompanied by George
Stewart, started for Alton Bay, across the lake,
with horse and sleigh. The morning was
very cold and stormy, and the probabilities are
that they drove into one of the many reefs and
were drowned, as no tidings have been heard of
them, although dilligent search has been made
by large party from this place. Mr.. Varney
was very enterprising young man, and was
engaged in the business Of tanning. He leaves
a widow and two children. Mr.. Stewart be-
longs in Alton, was about twe2ty-three years
of age and unmarried.

WHY HE WAS REcoMMENDED.-Congre
Small of New Hampshire has written letter
to one of his constituents who complained of
him for recommending a certain person for APP

Small says: "Who is this Capt. Chapman?
Let me tell you what you already know, that
when President Lincoln sounded his first bugie
call to arms Chapman. poor boy OF sixteen,
was the first to respond from your town. he
spent his last half dollar to have extra heel
taps put on his boots to make him tall enough
to pass; and he travelled all the way on foot to
the recruiting station to enlist. He served out
the first enlistment for nine months, and then
re-enlisted as private, serving four years in
all. with distinction to himself and honor to his
town. Being several times promoted for his
gallant conduct, he came ont of the service a
Captain, with an honorable discharge During
the service he received a crushing wound in the
shoulder, of which he was long time laid up,
and from which he has never fully recovered,
and never will. For the last eyear and a half
Capt. Chapman has been postal clerk on the
Great Falls & Conway railroad Such is the
history OF the new pOstmaster-a thoroughly
straightforward honest man, against whom you
dared not to say one word"

THE general public is promised stun" at
Watervie today at the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Maine Central Rail-
road Company. Ii is rumored that the East
ern Railroad people control majority of the
stock and propose TO dispense with the ser
wees Of some of the present Maine Central
directors, among whom is Judge Rice. Col.
Alden, too, II Is said, is not well pleased be-
cause of the report that Judge Rice had sold
his Maine Central stock to Eastern parties at
par. while he could not do so. The Colonel
plays most games with a steady hand and
clear head, and, although a mild tempered
man, is reported to be wroth at the Judge,
whom he claims TO have raised from the Su-
prems Court of Maine to the position of rail-
road king. Then it is further reported that
the vigorous Eastern interest will also cause
Col. Allen and Hon. J. w. Bradbury of Au-
gusta, to walk the plank because they and
many other stockholders arc opposed to the
ratification Of the Easterh-Maine Central
contract for the brief period of nine hundred
and ninety.nine years Col. Alden is report
ed to say that if he can stave off the Iatifica
ton at this meeting, he will secure the pas
sage of an act by the next Legislature that
will prevent it.
Altogether, the reports from the Kennebec
do not indicate the existence of feeling
among our railroad magnates calculated to
cause apprehension of the immediate prox-
unity of the millennium. But we have heard
SO many predictions of battles among railroad
magnates which never occurred that we shall
not be surprised to learn tonight that the
Waterville gathering has uproved love feast
and that Eastern and Maine Central lions
and lambs have lain down together. No lit
