CONSERVATIVES TAKE NoTICE,-Eyery moment
OF delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for consumption, far ex-
ceeds all that be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicines. See DR.. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per-
sons of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health after being pronounced incurable
by physicians OF acknowledged ability. schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will shows but the cure is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which DR..
Schenck provides for the purpose. Thes additional
remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines,
according to directions, Dr. Schenck certiies that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office,
Corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where al letters for advice must be sd-
dressed. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A Schooner Wrecked MT the CauP.

The gale night before last was severe enough
on the land, but at sea it must have been terri
bic in the extreme The threatening weather
proceeding it warned mariners to keep close in
the harbors. This warning was generally OBJ
served and in consequence there was but little
damage done to shipping on this coast But a
good harbor is not sure to prevent disasters in
such gale. This was shown to be true by the
wreck of the little schooner Joshua Bates at
Richmond's Island This schooner is owned in
Plymouth, Mass, and has been known as a
coaster for many years. She is owned by the
father of her master, Capt. Rogers. She clear
ed from this port last Friday, partly loaded
with fish and went to Richmond's Island to
load hay for Plymouth. On Saturday he
bought lot of hay from Mr.. Nelson Wheeler
and loaded the schooner with it, He then an
chored in the Richmond Island roads to wait
for wind and weather suitable to sail. In this
condition the storm found the schooner She
was driven onto the bar near the Ocean House,
striking with great force. The crew got off in
a dory and reached Richmond's Island in safe
ty, where they were cared for and yesterday
they were brought to this city. After striking
the bar the vessel quickly went to pieces, not a
timber remaining.

Maine Business Notes.

Messrs. Benjamin & Allen of West Water
vile, have reduced the number of their EN-
ployes, though it is expected that business will
soon be such as will warrant their running al
their full capacity.
west Waterville is to be represented at the
Centennial by the Dunn Edge Tool Co., who
are to exhibit samples of all the different goods
they manufacture The case in which these
samples will be shown is IS feet high and 10
feet WIDE 1t is made of black walnut and
will be lined throughout with blue silk velvet.
The Home Journal says the prospect looks
now that there will be more ice housed on the
Kennebec than ever before, and the prospect
for steam tugs, vessels and laborers the coming
season looks good. Probably at least 100000
tons have already secured sale, and this will
take some 1000 vessels to carry it, or ten day
during the shipping season, to say nothing of
what will yet be sold.
The Knickerbocker Ice Company now has
some 10000 tons stored ON the Kennebec,
and are housing still more as fast as they can.
The Lewiston Ice Company is putting in
1900 tons of ice near Richmond. Another
company is being formed in Lewiston to put in
5000 tons on the Kennebec.
The amount of freight that passed over the
Fort Fairfield branch railroad in January, was
557 tons, and the Aurora estimates the BUSH
ness will increase during February and March.

PAPER M1LL.-The paper mill in East Dover

PAPER MILL. paper mill in East Dover,
Me-, is now running two sets of stones, employ
ing twelve men, and producing daily 1900 to
1900 pounds of paper. The material used in
the manufacture of this mill is entirely spruce
and poplar wood, in equal parts, the former
being supplied by the slabs and edgings of the
adjacent lumber mills, and the latter being
hauled in by the farmers of the surrounding
country. The wood in the shape of short. thin
pieces 10 inches long, is first ground to fine
pulp by large stones; the pulp is then spread on
"paper wet and dried by steam, after which
it is rolled in heavy calendars, which com pletes
the manufacture. The paper, which is of all
the thicknesses required in the manufacture of
paper boxes, for which it is used, is shipped to
the consignees in the form of sheets, 26 by 80
inches in dimension; all of the product THUS
far has been taken by Dennison & Brown. pa
per manufacturers in Portland. The East Do
yer factory commenced operations in the winter
of 1874, and is at present owned and managed
by w. & G. A. Gray.

REV. DIR. HILL LECTUREs.-It may not be
generally known that the Rev. DR.. Hill has
been giving course of biblical lectures at the
vestry of the High street church. on Monday
evenings, for several weeks past which to
those who have attended them have been found
of great interest and profit. AS many who
desired to hear them have been prevented from
attending on those evenings, DIR. H. has kindly
consented to repeat them in his own church on
Sabbath evenings in connection with his vesper
service. 1t is to be hoped there will be las
there should beg full attendance from all de.
nominations upon these services, and those who
do SO may rely upon being not only highly en-
tertained but instructed and profted by his
several expeditions of the scriptures. 1t will
be truly shameful if the good people of this
city shall allow such course of lectures from
such source, to be neglected, and the learned
Doctor to spend his time and breath upon a
meagre audience, especially on Sabbath even
ings, when there is nothing special to prevent a
full attendance, and inasmuch as nearly if not
all of the other churches are closed, Ito oar
shame be 1t said) so that our young men and
young women have no other places of resort
where they can be interested and instructed,
except at soma vestry meeting which, as gen.
eral thing, is not very attractive. .-
Many other evenings in the week any hall or
church in the city would be crowded to hear
some ''mountebank'' lecture. Give the good
Doctor full house. ORTHODOX.

THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.-This evening Balfe's
charming opera, "The Bohemian Girl" will be
brought out at Music Hall by the New Eng
land Opera Troupe, an organization of which
we are led to expect much. The troupe have
given this opera in many parts of New Engla nd
during the season, and have been everywhere
warmly received, the rendition commanding
cordial approval. The excellence of the sololsts
and the strength and good training of the cho-
rus are spoken of in high terms. Miss Star
bird, OF course, there will be general desire to
see, and Mrs. Kempton and Messrs. Rudolph
sen and Felch have many admirers in this city.
Judging by the general tone of the notices
which the troupe have received, the entertain
ment will be highly pleasing one, not to be
neglected by lovers of music. Seats can be Sc.
cured at the box Office during the day.

The MUsEUM-"Leah, the Forsaken," or
Deborah as it was printed on the bills, was
put on the boards at the Museum last evening
This drama has not been played at the Muse
UNI since Miss Campbell appeared in the title
role, year ago last fall. The play as present.
ed then and now differs quite materially. The
title role is one requiring deep, heavy voice
just such voice as Miss Campbell possesses
Miss Cameron, while playing the part we'll,
was evidently not sufficient for the task. She
delivered the curse with much force, however,
and at its close both she and Mr.. Bascomb
were called before the curtain. Mr.. Bascnmb
was very easy and natural in the part OF
Joseph. Anna, his bride, was we'll sustained
by Miss Ulmer. Mr.. Waldron as the school.
master was more subdued than usual and
called forth applause for his fine inter probation
of the role. Mr.. Ulmer as Lorenzo was good.
The role of the pastor was well sustained by
Mr.. Adams.
The drama was followed by the farce of "a
Quiet Family" Both pieces will be given this
evening.

EVIDENTLY A SwINDLER-Yesterday noon
description of man who was expected to
arrive on the train from Brunswick, was re-
ceived at the police station. As he did not
arrive at the Maine Central depot, it was sup.
posed that he got off at Morrilrs Corner to
take the Rochester train for New York Act.
ing on this supposition Deputy Marshal
Bridges and officer Slower went out on the
Rochester train and found this man. The dis.
patch states that he has been swindling the
people of Bath He gave his name as DR..
Willard and told the good people of that town
that he would cure their diseases or refund
their money. 1t seems one man agreed to
take 1872 worth of cure for paralysis. After
the doctor got the money he left town, thus his
arrest. Deputy Marshal Perkins of Bath, will
arrive today and take him to Bath.
