Sad and Fatal Accident.

A sad and painful accident occurred ON thu
kennebec river, opposite Carney's Point, ir
Dresden, near the foot of Swan Island, or
Thursday evening, after nine o'clock. Jackson
Reed of Dresden and his only son Willie, q
smart, intelligent boy nine years old, were
riding on the ice, returning to their home
from Woolwich, when the ice suddenly gave
way, letting the horse, sleigh and occupants
into the river. The father put forth every ef-
fort to save his son, and succeeded three times
in getting the boy on to the ice, and each
time it gave way, and the last time the strong
current swept the boy under the ice before
his father could reach him. The father
then by great efforts and with the assistance
of person on shore who heard his cries,
dragged himself out on to the ice and
on foot and alone returned to his home.
Yesterday the body of the boy was
found frozen in with some drift ice
five to ten rods below. The ice looked
strong and firm, had not been cut, and was
considered perfectly safe, but the current un-
derneath had worn it away at this point until
nothing was left but a mere shell of snow ice

On a Brief Visit.

On a brteI tiS1t.
DR.. S. d. Howe, of New York city, arrived
in this city few days since, and last evening
called upon us. Many will remember that
DR.. Howe is the gentleman who discovered
the "Arabian Milk Cure" medicine for Con-
sumption, and also the "Arabian" Tonic for
purifying the blood. The first.named medi-
cine is a substitute for cod.liver oil, possess
ing all its virtues without any nauseating
taste. DR.. Howe has been a regular practis-
ing physician for about twenty-thrce years.
and the discovery, the benefit Of which he is
now giving to the world, he made nearly
twenty three years ago. He has had practice
in Bellevue hospital, AID has gained a thor.
ough knowledge from an examination of l0,-
900 persons, Of Consumption in all forms.
Raising people from the dead, or curing peo-
pie who are palpably beyond recovery, he
cannot do, but he feels satisfied that in any
instance where the sufferer has not gone be-
yond the second stage of Consumption, his
"Milk Cure" will restore health. He has his
regular Office establishment in New York, but
HIS "SShSASo oAV AL SNCAy SNy' liz DoStVA o
business having called him this way, he has
volunteered his services Cat the urgent re-
quest of those who have used his prepara-
tions), and will examine the lungs of all who
call upon him between the hours of 8 A. M.
and ) p. NJ, for two days-Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week, free of charge, at
the Hallowell House, and on Thursday. Fri.
day and Saturday at the Evans House in
Gardiner, where he has secured parlors. lie
has no medicine to sell Chat can be obtained
at the drug stores), and his advice may be had
free, at the same time it will be honest. II
would be we'll to visit DR.. Howe, even if you
do not need an examination of your lungs.
You will find him a gentleman. We hope
soon TO have the doctor in Augusta. He ex-
amined over 200 patients at the Bangor House
week before last and they all expressed
themselves as delighted.
