LOOK OUT FOR THE DoG.-The Richmond
Dispatch recommends as the best method OF
putting an end to the nuisance of sheep
killing dogs TO offer reward for dog hides
as an article OF commerce. The Dispatch
narrates remarkable instance of the glut-
IOrous power of dogs. II declares that a dog
Of that city ate siXty-fOuT pounds of meat in
twentyfour hours, and that he did it under
circumstances which admitted no doubt Of
the fact. A quarter OF beef, having become
tainted, was thrown to this animal, and
being a powerful and greedy brute, no other
dog in Richmond was likely to undertake to
divide the prey with him. In twenty-four
hours all but the large bones of the quarter
had disappeared, and these were polished
perfectly clean. The worst part of the story
remains 10 be told. The dog made such de-
structive raids upon the sheep that he has
been sent TO Baltimore, and is believed now
TO be in this city. We recommend this auec-
dote to the consideration of the Maryland
legislature, which is expected 10 do some
thing to protect the sheep in this state from

RATED MILK DEALERS.-In New York, on
Wednesday, nineteen OF the twenty milk
dealers VINO were indicted for selling an
adulterated article were arraigned for trial.
Two OF them pleaded not guilty, but the at
tempt To prove their innocence resulted in
the first or the pair being fined one hundred
dollars, and the second being sentenced to
one months Imprisonment. The remaining
dealers. though protesting their innocence,
with fine OF fifty dollars each. The Times
says II was satisfactory to learn that milk
is not adulterated with anything worse than
water. Watered milk is bad enough, but not
so bad as the compounds of chalk, magnesia
and other substances, which dealers have
sometimes been accused of selling as pure
country milk. The punishment OF the New
York milk dealers Should exercise 2 saIutary
influence over those In the same business

Concerning the Press.
Pleasant Words From Contemporaries.
lFrom the Watervil1e MaiLl

From the Waterville MALL
The Portland PRESS seems to be in season in
putting on the harness of 1876. That paper
stands now in the front rank of New England
Republican papers. Its political articles have
for few years commanded the growing respect
OF the party, as well for their wisdom as for
their tact and pungency. AS family paper it
500, is a dollar lower than most daily papers
OF its size and class. 1t is sent during the sea-
son OF the Legislature for So. The weekly,
1.-The Maine State PRESS is made up with
great care to adaptit to the wants of the family;
taking every department into special care The
growing political influence of the PRESS rem
ders it very desirable paper for those who in
tend to give any considerable attention 10 the
political questions coming before the public
during the ensuing year.
from the Oxford Democrat.l
The Portland Daily PRESS is the principal
Republican daily of Maine. To it the people
look for the policy of the administration. Its
weekly edition, the Maine State PRESS, has a
large and constantly increasing circulation. 1t
is deservedly popular in the rural districts.
[From the Maine Standard
Although we are not in sympathy with the
politics of the Portland Daily PRESS, we un-
hesitatingly. pronounce it a newspaper second
to none published in the state, while the Maine
State PRESS is the largest weekly journal i'm
Maine, and presents the news of the week in
condensed form, together with special agricul-
tural and literary departments:
[From the Presque Isle Sunrise.1
The Portland Daily PRESS and the Maine
State PRESS, Weekly, are two papers of which
the Republicans of Maine may well be pleased
and proud In years gone by it was necessary
to 60 outside of Maine to find good daily
paper. Maine now has goodly number of
enterprising daily papers. One Of the best in
the state is the Portland Daily PRESS. 1t
prints nearly third more reading matter than
any other, and on no other is SO much money
and time expended. The PRESS is strong in its
editorial department. 1t has sentiments, and it
talks them out. In the discussion of all national
and state questions the PRESS takes a promi-
nent part. The PRESS is essentially Maine
journal. In full and faithful presentation of
its business interests, and reports of meetings
of general interest it will have no superior,
State news is made a specially, correspondents
being engaged in all the principal towns. In
the department of telegraphic news, it has the
advantage of oil the associated press news, and
makes provision for special kilograms respect
ing all matters of interest. Unusual attention
will be devoted to matters at the national Cap
ital, and special reporter and correspondent
will look out for the PRESS at the Legislature,
Market reports and the state of the markets re-
ceive that attention which they should in a
city whose wholesale business is large and in
creasing.

SCHENCK'S PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly cele-
brated and popular medicines haveSefected revo-
luton in the healing art and proved the faacy of
several maxims which have for many years obstruct-
ed the progress efmedical science The false suppo-
stion that Consumption is ncurable" deferred ply
scians from attempting to find remedies for that dis
ease, and patients afflicted with it reconced them
selves to death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable
1t is now proved, however, that Consumption be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in
other by the medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one

DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was supposed
at one tme to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
scians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
aforesaid medicines and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR.. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
solutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck un-
less patients wish their lungs examined and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal office,

MAINE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.-The win
ter meeting of the Maine Board of Agriculture
and Farmers Convention will be held at BruLs-
wick on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
Feb. 9Th, 9th and 10Th. Brunswick is favora-
bly, located for the holding of the meeting, be-
ing on the main line of the Maine Central
Railroad, and easy of access from all points in
Sagadahoc, Cumberland, Lincoln and Andros-
coggin counties, and, in fact, from all parts of
the state The invitation to hold the meeting
at this point comes from the Sagadahoc Agri-
cultural Society, which is one of the strongest
societies of its kind in the state; and as Bruns-
swick and Topsham together form large COM
munity themselves, and are besides in the very
center of an enterprsing, thrifty and intelli-
gent people,a successful and profitable meeting
may reasonably be expected. Among the
speakers engaged for the meeting are Prof.
Levi Stockbridge of the Mass. AgI College,
Prof NJ G. Fernald of the Maine State Col
lege, Prof. Ell. Carmichael of Bowdoin College,
besides which papers may be expected from
several members Of the Board upon vital and
seasonable topics, a full schedule of which will
be given next week. The junior aud senior
classes from the Maine State College, Orono, will
also be in attendance, and will give illustrative
class exercises on the afternoon of the opening
day. Public meetings will be held forenoon,
afternoon and evening, and farmers and all in
terestedi in the subjects to be presented are in
vited to be present and take part in the discus
sions. Ladies are cordially invited.
The Maine Central Railroad will issue free
return tickets to all those who pay full fare to
attend, over its lines and branches-tickets to
be given out at the convention.

READING ROOM AT THE BETHEL.-Some-
thing of this sort has been greatly needed for
years. and has just been realized, after consd-
cradle labor and expense. 1t was opened with
out notice Wednesday week, and has been.pat-
ronized beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tions, by the men of the sea and others. For
the past few days the visitors have averaged
over %. more quiet, orderly and sattentive
class of men cannot be found. The papers and
books are we'll read. Many letters have been
written as the facilities for that are freely pre-
sented. Maps and school books come in for a
share of attention And the good old Book is
not overlooked. Many man will come here,
who could not be persuaded into a religious
meeting. But this is no objection to the read
ing room. Should ione have received the i'm
preston that the sailors who frequent this port
are inferior to others of their class, let him
drop into the room occasionally and learn the
truth. There is no reason why we should not
have good sailors seeking employment here.
and spending their earnings to the business ad-
vantage of our city. There are influences that
tend directly to send them away.
If some friend has an atlas to spare, or wall
map for which they have no room, an arithme-
tic, etc., please send postal to f. Southworth,
who will be happy to call for it. This new fea-
ture will add somewhat to the expenses of the
Bethel but it is hoped there may be cores
pon6iDg response from our citizens.
