IMPROVEMENT OF NAvlGABLE WATERS "A
West Virginia inventor has been exhibiting in
Cincnnati model Of contrvance for improv-
ing navigable streams by means of combna-
ton of locks, chutes, and dams. 1t represents,
10 miniature, lock one hundred feet wide and
six hundred feetin the clear, with a floating
capacity of six thousand tons, which is equal to
the tonnage of some of the largest ocean steam
ers. This lock may be converted into chute
in less than minute, thus avoiding any stop
page for boats descending the river. The gates
of the lock are operated by the draw" of the
water, which hoists and lowers them by its own
action, requiring but two men to manage each
lock. Boats running up stream without lock-
ing will require rise OF water oil aboui five feet
above low water mark, aud in case locking is
necessary it can hc acc: mpIished 10 less than
five minutes. The Inventor says that the largest
boats and tows can be got through 10 that time.
The adjustable dam, which is operated on the
same principle as the lock gates, may be put 10
four hundred feet across river, and be made
to rise aud fall By the action of the river 1t
can be worked by the two men handling the
lock- and the inventor says that with this dan
he can break up ice 10 river as fast as it forms
and keep navigation open all winter. lie is
confident iD fact, that with his appliances plac
ed at distances of twenty miles apart he could
insure ten feet Of water in the Ohio the years

BASE BALL.-About three hundred people
assembled on the horse-car grounds at Deerlng
Saturday afternoon to witness the game be-
tween the Resolutes of this city and the White
Oaks of Raymond, which resulted in a victory
TO the home club by the score of II to 1. The
solitary run of the visitors was made in the
first inning on errors. AS the score indicatesY
the Raymond boys were outplayed at every
point, although they showed some good indi-
vidual play; that of Small behind the bat being
very good, as was Rolf in left field, and With
am at third base. The Resolutes changed the
position Of their men frequently during the
game. No less than three different men played
behind the bat.
The play of the Resolutes was upon the whole
an improvement upon their game with the
Bowdons.
We understand the Bowdoins have invited
the Resolutes to play them return game at
Brunswick next Saturday, and that the Reso-
lutes will probably accept the invitation.
The new grounds of the Resoutes at Pre-
snmpscot Trotting Park are nearly completed,
and when finished will be the best in the state
We learn it is intended to dedicate" the
grounds by game with some strong Massa-
chusetts club, possibly one of the professional
clubs.
The Resolute Club have been at considerable
expense to fit up these grounds, buy their new
uniform, fit up their club room, &C., and they
will charge small admission fee to the games
on their new grounds The club is composed
entirely of Portland boys; there are no i'm
ported, paid players on the Nine, as is the case
with most crack Massachusetts clubs, and all
lovers of tho Irrational gan1e,' who desire to
see good square games by gentlemanly players,
should encourage home talent.

DAVID WOOSTER, M. D., says the beneficias
effect of the Health-Lift is appreciated, when
it is understood that it is by muscular contrac-
ton that arterial capillaries are emptieJ. and
that, Immediately after such contraction, these
same capllaries must be refilled with arterial
blood fresh from the lungs, through the left
side of the heart-that is, newly oxygenated
blood. Constipation is cured by this process
that is, completely emptyng the small arteries
of the alimehtary canal during muscular con-
traction, which, By we'll known physiological
law, is followed By increased peristaltic action.
This explains how the "lift' cures functional
diseases of the liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach,
&C. 1t cures by causing more complete re-
newal of arterial blood in the finest capillaries
than can be secured By ony other known
means.
The method of Cumulative Exercise, as pra1-
ticed ON the Reactionary Litter, is most econ
omical in time, requiring only ten minutes each
day, and no change of dress for either sex, ana
is most thorough in uniform. simultaneous
tautening and development of all the muscles
of the body. 10 response TO your inquiry as to
my opinion Of their merits, do not hesitate
to unqualfiedly commend the Exercise and

dyspeptic or rheumatic affections, and 10 every
person of sedentary employment, who-how
