The P. & 0. EAst.--Sincc the Eastern
Division of the p. & o. road has been
opened to Bemis Station, sevcnty-eight
miles from Portland, daily line of stage
has beer put on between that station and
the eastern terminus of the Boston, Con,
cord and Montreal Road, at Fabyan's.
This distance is only eleven miles, and a
line of freight teams are already put on,
80 that Portland freight comes directly
through to al points on tho line of the b.
g. & NJ. Road, the Passumpsic and the
Western Division of the P. & o. Road.
Mr.. Ii. w. Ripley, who represents the
large clothing house Of Smith, Morgan Il
Butler, Portland, is making regular trips
through the section, and it Is largely owing
TO his efforts that this co injection lie made
through the Notch, before the connecting
rails are laid in this last eleven miles
Mr.. Ripley says that already many per.
sons are visiting Portland from this sec.
tion, who find two hours staging through
the Notch a pleasant diversion; aud he
predicts lots Of people and busiress when
the road is done. Mr.. Ripley has made
regular trips over the new line since las,
February, and he is taking large orders
from some Of the best firms in this sector
and in New Hampshire, who are 6udin,
out that they can get better goods ant
cheaper frelghts at Portland than Boston

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepayneA on All
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits Of the counties in which they are publish
ed We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
er. The former will be relieved of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.

During the past few months every subscriber

Death In the Sirup-Jug.

PROBABLY there are very few articles of
daily consumption which are not adulter-
ated in more or less vile manner. One
of the most scoundrelly impositions that
INSCRIPTIONS rascals practice upon a long
suffering public is the scandalous COM
pound sold as sugar sirup. 1t is asserted
that nearly fifty per cent. of the article
sold under the seductive names of golden
slrup, silver drlps, etc, is a rank poison,
formed by the action of sulphUric acid
upon some Of the substances containing
the essential material of wood fiber. The
quantity Of sulphuric acid used to form
sugar by this process is so great that it
cannot be thoroughly extracted from the
product. 1t leaves enough to be danger
Gus even to the stOmachs of robust men
Excessively so to the more delicate or
CARNATIONS of children, who use far more
Of the article than grown persons.
Since public attention has been called
to this rascality, many instances have
come to light of mysterious sicknesses
which disappeared on the use of this
breakfast dainty being discontinued. Sc
we're burning pains at the stomach, and
racking headaches, are among the lighter
symptoms Of strip poisoning. A case is
mentioned where the cork in a key of
sirup sent for the use of lumberman's
camp was found to be nearly eaten away
Fancy a vile drug which will cOrrode
cork, gnawing away at the coat of ones
stomach. The Western RurGI will in fu-
ture worry down its buckwheat cakes
without the adventurous aid of sweeten-
ing, unless sufficient guarantees of the
character of the article be furnished
with it.
Fortunately, the detection of the per-
nicious stuff is easy. A small quantity of
muriate or nitrate of baryta, mixed with
water, makes a clear solution. If to this
be added a small quantity of sulphuric
acid, a white precipitate is formed, which
is insOluble in water. Tannin also gives
black precipitate, unless the acid has
been neutralized by albumen
If any OF our readers have reason for
looking upon their matutinal strip with
suspicion, let them at once take a sample
to chemist and have it analysed If
found to be dangerous, let the makers
and retailers be prosecuted with the same
yigor that wholesale murderers would
meet with Western Rural.

on Wabash avenue, having ridden about
three miles to reach ii. On entefing the
parlor, they were met by the reverend
doctor, wearing his official robe, and
without delay the smiling couple Joined
hands and the ceremony began. After
having proceeded for several minutes, and
reached the point where the couple were
about to be pronounced husband and
wife," the officiating clergyman suddenly
paused, and addressing the almost mar
ried lady, said:
Excuse me, but = but = Madam, I
should like to ask you question. Are
you widow ?"
g [ am, sir" replied the lady thus ad-
dressed.
Us your husband dead2"
mo, sir, he is living; but am legally
and properly divorced from him."
Il am sorry TO say, then" replied the
rector, that l can proceed no further"
The surprise and CONSERVATION Of the
half-united couple may perhaps be imag-
med but it cannot well be described. In
justice to DR.. Sullivan, and by way Of ex-
planning this curious episode, it should be
here stated that the Episcopal Conven-
ton for the Diocese Of Illinois, year or
two ago, passed a resolution forbidding
any clergyman of that denomination from
performing the marriage ceremony for a
party who had been divorced, and whose
husband or wife was still living. And
that resolution was what played the mis-
chief with the ceremony at DR.. Sullivan's
house last night.
Though surprised and shocked by this
unexpected interruption of the proceed
ings, the candidates for wedlock were not
discouraged They were determined to
accomplish the mission on which they
had started, at all hazards. So, bidding
DR.. Sullivan good evening, they re-en-
tered their carriage, the half-married man
ordering the coachman to find DR.. Ryder,
if it took till midnight. After q half
hours further drive, DR. Ryder was found
at his own residence, and the marriage
was there speedily contaminated, the
Doctor proceeding de aao00, as the lawyers
have it. The happy couple then departed,
husband and wife," arriving at the thea
ter little late, but feeling that "alls
well that ends well. Chicago Journal.

"Let Go That ROpe!'

The Bay City Chronicle says OF one of
its illustrious citizens: Mr.. WOpples was
born to command-there is no doubt of it.
He can no more help giving orders when
ever he sees another man at work than a
woman pass a mirror without trying to
catch glimpse of her back hair. Mr.
Wopples was coming along the street the
other day where some men were hosting
some melted tar to the top OF building
for the roofers. One man was pulling at
the hosting rope and another was holding
the bucket away from the wall by means
of cord. The bucket had just passed
the wide cOrnice when WOpples came
upon the scene. He comprehended the
situation at glance and saw that the man
who was holding the bucket out from the
building by the cord must slacken it, so
aG to let the bucket swing over on the
roof. "Let 90 that rope!' shouted Mr..
Wopples. The man pulling on the hoist
ing rope recognized the voice of authority
and, with dim impression that some
thing had burst, he dropped his rope and
ran to the middle of the street. The
bucket came down - as to just hit the
edge of the cornice, which upset it and
the smoking, sticky contents descended
in a black flood upon Mr.. WOpples. Dur
ing the next two weeks Mrs. Wopples
devoted her leisure hours to scraping the
tar off Wopples' skin, varying this amuse-
ment by the delivery of free lectures to
Wopples upon what she calls his habit OF
"etarnally meddlin'."

Marriage Under Difficulties.

A middle-aged gentleman and lady had
made arrangements to be united in the
holy bonds" Their plan was to visit the
residence of clergyman, have the cere-
mony performed quietly and without any
" wedding party" and then proceed to
one of the theaters to spend the remain
der of the evening. Their desire was to
procure the services of Rev. Dr. Ryder,
and during the day the soon-to- be-married
man made several attempts to find the
Doctor, but failed. So, Just at night,
thinking that one minister could perform
the services as legally as another, he ap-
piled to reverend DR.. Sullivan, rector OF
Trinity Episcopal Church, and engaged
that gentleman to officiate. 1t was ar
ranged that the couple should visit the
rector residence at seven O'Clock, when
the interesting ceremony should be per
formed. Promptly at the hour appoint
ed, the candidates for the matrimonial
yoke" accompanied by lady friend,
arrived at the residence of DR.. Sullivan,
