DON'T Make War ON the Stomach

If you are bilious, dyspeptic and constipated,
don't make war on the stomach by successfully swal
lowing blue pills, strong purgatives and powerful
astringents. Such procedure damages digestion
and weakens the bowels, leaving stomach, liver and
intesnes after the immediate effect, in condition
OF greater disorder than BEFORE That complete re-
lief which remedies of the above description signally
tail to afford is obtained by using Hosetters Stom-
ach Bitters And for the best Of reasons. Bilious
ness is the result of inactivity of the liver dyspepsia
of weakness of the digestive organs and constipation
is produced by the above operating together.
The Bitters being powerful stomachic, overcome
indigestion by stimulating the secretion Of gastric
juice, relieve bousness by promoting greater activ-
ity OF the liver and thus enable the bowels to act
with renewed regularity.

VERMONT COPPER MINEs.-We understand
thcs gentleman representing the Wolcott
Copper Mine which is situated on the line of
the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad near the
Lamolle river, his purpose being to interest
capitalists in the enterprise with view of
building works in this city for the reduction of
the ores. A pamphlet on the subject fully sets
forth the character of the ores and contains es-
Inmates which are very rich. 1t also contains
estimates of the cost of the works and by COM
parison with other mines and works shows the
probable profit of the business The writer
shows by figures that the reduction works can
be built for 5000, 900 and that 100000 addition
al is required for working capital. He also
estimates that such works will afford 80 per
cent profit on an estimated capital of 81 ,000,-
00O To prove this, the writer cites the profits
of other mines and works. Such an enterprise
would give large business, not only to the P.
& o. Railroad, but afford large business for
vessels and otherwise add much to the business
of the city.

BATH, July %, 1875.
To the Editor of the Press:
must say for me, that 1 was considerably
exercised when first read in the Democratic
papers the charge that there had been fraudu-
lent transactions in connection with the sale of
the lands donated to the Agricultural Col
lege." said to myself if our Maine Republic
cans, whom have most cheerfully supported,
are guilty of the base transactions charged in
that article of DR.. Jordan's, 1 am done with
them. In fact the charge was made so direct
that L could not conceive in my own mind how
man could be so wicked as to make it with
out any facts.
know that in the terrible days of the war,
these men were constantly filling their papers
with false statements to discourage the people
and constantly ridiculing and disparaging Pres
ident Lincoln and our leaders in the field.
Then they were excited and angry and were in
sympathy with the rebels. 1 now remember
that they have constantly slandered public
men and grossly misrepresented great many
things.
But thought they had taken new depart
ure. There has been so much talk about new
Democracy that had begun to believe that
these men had seen the evil of their old ways,
had taken to new and better practices. But
they haven't. Lying is their vocation. When
they attempt to tell the truth, they don't ap-
parenty feel at home, and conclude that they
aren't effective.
But the way in which the PRESS disposed of
that Jordan lie was to my mind, most admira-
BILE. 1t was what they call a boomerang.
Why, it had not the slightest foundation.
There wasn't the least pretext for the bare
faced statement Indeed, it was so completely
shown to be lie without shadow of founda-
ton, that supposed that common decency
would have prompted the Democratic papers 10
have washed their hands of the disgrac eful
deed of DIR. Jordan by promptly and honestly
asserting that they were deceived. Can it be
that Democratic editors imagine that they can
help their cause by publishing such glazing
falsehoods2 Do they expect to gain confidence
among decent men by tricks which should dis
gust the lowest partisan?
Such base attempts should arouse Republi
cans to realization of the character of the
Democratic leaders, who must be judged tt
some extent by the newspapers they support.
cannot too strongly express my admiration
for the care you have taken to expose the bast
and above all to show the people of Maine thu
desperate means the Democratic editors ar,
taking to delude the people. 1t is squelcher
let it be passed around.

FLOOD ON THE RIVER MEME.
Large Tracks of Land Under Water.

LONDON, July 23.-The waters of the river
Meme at Peterborough are fifteen to twenty feet
above the ordinary level, and the current has
increased in velocity to 16 and 20 miles an
hour. Last night the rise was so sudden that
bedrooms in buildings along the river were
flooded, and the sleeping inmates barely saved
their lives. Four thousand acres of grazing
land are flooded between Eareth and Denburgh
and 5000 cattle are deprived of pasturage. The
water is three or four feet deep on 1000 acres of
land near Whittlesey. No such flood has been
seen in that section of the country for fifty
wears.
