MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES,

Is YOUR LIVER ToUcHED.-This is an i'm
portant question, for if the functions of the
liver are in any way disordered, the whole
body, and not only the body but the mind,
sympathizes with the disturbed organ. Bilious
complaints are more common in this country
than any other disease, except Pulmonary
Consumption and Dyspepsia, and in, at least,
seventy-ive out of every hundred dyspeptic
cases. the liver is more or less affected. The
ordinary indications of bliousness such as vel
lowness of the skin and whites of the eyes, and
pains in the right side and between the sboul-
ders, are universally known, but the liver is
sometimes in very unsatisfactory condition
without these symptoms being present When
the mind is lethargic and haunted by gloomy
fancies, the sleep broken and uneasy, the bow
els constpated or irregular, the appetite feeb e
or capricious, it may be taken for granted that
the hillary secretion is either unnatural In its
quality or quantity, or both Dr. S. D. Howe S

THE READING.-The Roberts reading which
occurred last evening, was pleasing success.
The programme was select and varied. Mrs.
Roberts read with her usual zeal and correct
ness. Of the others it is enough to say that
they did well, even better than their most san
gune friends expected. Master Poole was SIM
ply immense in his 'Irish Picket" and receiv-
ed hearty encore, but did not respond. At
the close of the programme Mrs. Roberts read,
by special request, "The Charcoal Man."

At the last town meeting it was voted that,
the Selectment be empowered TO sell the right
of the town to all of the real estate which had
been bid in at the tax sales by the town. and
forfeited for non-payment of the tax. There
are hundred or more different parcels, belong
ing for the most part to non-residents. Some of
these lots have been sold by the owners and in
some cases have changed hands several times.
Most likely these claims will be bought in by
some Shylock who will trouble the possessors.

Gold Sales.

NEW YORK, March &c. - A special from
Washington says: In an interview with Sec
rotary Richardson this morning, he said he was
opposed to selling gold and would not not have
done SO had Congress passed the $500, OO0, 900
bill. He says the $5,OOO,OOO of gold to be sold
in April is the only disbursement of gold to be
made by the government during the month and
this amount will hardly be felt as he antiei-
pates heavy importations. He favors the gov
eminent keeping its gold so as to prepare for
the resumption of specie payments. He init
mates his intention as soon as the $500, OOO, 900
Dill shall become law to suspend gold sales
and commence paying out legal tenders.

Public Rights ON Commercial Street


Mr. EDIToR;-It has been matter of just
complaint against the P. S. & p R. R. that it
has maintained serious distractions IN the way
of travel to and from the Portland bridge In
| deed the road has been put under indictment
for nuisance on account of these distractions.
The road has further with view to the entire
removal of alt causes of complaints, been con-
strained to consent to the payment of large
sum of money toward building an overhead
BRIDGE and further has been obliged to main
tain roadway to the bridge over its own land
to accommodate the public.
And yet we see the city council giving its
consent to the laying of track after track across
Commercial street, the main business avenue of
the city, upon which railway trains, both pas
senger and freight, are to pass and repass, not
only obstructing but entirely stopping all move
ment on the street during their passage, put
ting complete embargo not only on the bus
mess and travel to and from the Portland
bridge but vast amount additional. 1t is diff
ticult to see why, if one railroad is to be indlct
ed for one obstruction another shonld receive
aid and help in establishing another. The
concession is the most extraordinary since it
was acknowledged by the counsel of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad at the hearing, and
~
the demands Of the road, that some other
arrangement could be made and is expected to
be made, whereby the obstructing tracks will
be removed.
1t certainly seems as if the city council
should have insisted that the other arrange
ment be made now. They should have in
sisted that the railroads should at once fOrego
their hostlities and make terms with one
another, covering this and other matters in
volved. The council by their action make
themselves parties to the contest and lend their
aid to nourish and perpetuate it. They do this
at the public cost. They do it to the detri-
ment of all the business to be done on Com
mercial street. They assent to the establish
ment of a nuisance on Commercial street, sim
ply because a railroad asks for it. Let the
railroads get out Of their scrapes the best way
they can, but not to the public harm. If a
railroad voluntarily and with open eyes puts
Itself into pocket" into a location impracti
cable and unavailable for its purposes except
by obstruction to business and the public, let it
take the consequences.
One would think the city government had
shown quite enough of timdity and trucking
in suffering a RAILROAD to ride rough-shod over
itself in the matter of High street, without
making haste to throw away the public rights
to the main business avenue of the town at the
beckon of the same railroad.
