CANKERwoRMs.-We learn that canker-
worms are appearing in great numbers in fruit
trees in this vicinity, sufficient to destroy all
the fruit os the season. Mr.. Gordon r. Gard
en- of Cape Elizabeth, informs us that he and
MIR. Atwood have used petroleum naphtha with
great success in killing these pests. AT night
and early in the morning the worms gather in
clusters. 1t only requires few drops to kill
thousands A dollars worth of the article
properly applied will rid the largest orchard in
Maine of them.

MR.. EDITOR: State street is an avenue lead
ing directly to the Eastern, Maine Central, and
Ogdensburg railroads. The Boston q Maine
railroad, in gross disregard of neighborly CO.
mity as we'll as of public rights, has maintained
its interruption of this street for nearly three
wears. One would think its record in con-
nection with the High street bridge matter OF
sufficient modification without repeating the
obstinate delays and perfunctory performance
of that notable work. Is remains to be seen
whether this city council will be more anxious
to truckle to rich railroad than to serve the
neonle of Portland. STATE STREET.

ReHd 4uIcKEy, OF DC DeecTeU'
The Manhattan Medicine Company have not
bought the trade mark of IL F." Atwood s
Bitters, as may have been inferred from their
recent sweeping and indefinite notice; not des,
ignating the Atwood to whom they allude. Said
company did attempt to negotiate for u. f. -
Atwood's, but were told that the 81. f" were
entirely unlike the Btters which they contem-
lated putin up; therefore it would be utterly
impossible to draw them from the same tank,
as they proposed to do.
- Consequently REMEMBER ST. f." At.
woods Btters continue to bear the pate
trade mark eel. F." in large letters; also recol-
lect that the form of the bottle remains un.

frightened in Market Square and started on
dead run down Middle street. When the team
reached the corner of Market street the horses
rushed upon pb@ton containing Mr.. I. f.

fusion, until the three persons were taken from
the wreck more or less injured. The clothes OF
the ladies were badly torn, but it was thought
that no serious injury was done. Mr.. Lambs
horse was badly cut about the legs. I1 was

The Archbishop at first referred to the late
Bishop Bacon and the great work he had done
ia the diocese of Portland IN twenty years. 1t
was miraculous, and so distinguished was his
services that his name will never be forgotten.
The question with the Holy Father was as to
whom should be his successor The same apos-
tolic college which sent this people this new
prelate and Bishop Bacon, sent Paul TO preach
The gospel. He paid glowing tribute 70 Arch
bishop Williams and then to Bishop Healy,
with whom he has been long acquainted, say
ing that if his future years are as well ordered,
as Jealous, as devoted and distinguished as his
past, he will serve you with conspicuous abll-
ty. ,.
Referring to the subject of his discourse, he
said that the history of the Catholic church
was the history of the world. He traced the the
marvellous work of the apostle the first 3O0
years, and after, when persecution ceased and
false doctrine was promulgated. He spoke OF
the fathers of the Catholic church, the super
human work they had accomplished. Their
pure lives put them beyond the touch of ohio,
