From Abram Mead, Esq. of Littl ct on
Mass.

81 have for several years suffered severely
with dyspepsia, accompanied by weakness and
nervous irritabi:ty, which made life a burden
to me. Nothing but the simplest nutriment
could remain in the stomach without pain.
Sourness and windy excavations, unco mforta-
Bile feelings in the head, bad taste in the mouth,
catarrhal symptoms, inactivity of the liver and
bowels, piles, general debility and nervous
state of extreme suscepti oilty, made up dis
eased condition rebelous to ordinary medical
treatment. By the advice of an eminent ply
scian of Boston. commenced taking PERU
WAN SYRUP; at once began to experience
benefit After taking three bottles all these
bad feelings have left, my health is restored,
and enjoy life as we'll as ever. Most cheerfully
do I recommend PERUVIAN SYRUP.

The MUSEUM The Portland Museum was
reopened under the management of Miss Fan
ME Marsh with matinee performance Thurs
day. On Thursday evening 1.-THE Ticket of
Leave Man" was presented. The houses were
very large at both performances, and the au-
diences we're delighted at seeing the doors of
this popular place of amusement once more
thrown open There is evidently a cordial
wish entertained by our people that Miss Marsh
will succeed in her venture.

was repeated. Perhaps, as the theatre has not
its formal opening until Monday, criticism is
premature. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
judgments pronounced on some Of the mem
bers of the new company last night will not be
final ones, for tie performance was not alto
gether success. To start with some of the
actors were very unready in their parts and
made too obvioas calls upon the prompter.
Such remissness is scarcely excusable on a Sec
.ond night. Then, too, some Of the actors,
noticeab]y the leading man, did not scruple
while on the stage to hold conversation with
those in the wings, proceeding not to be toll

fully and with spirit, was not successful

ton defective, and his make up that OF dissi-
pated gambler. He has away of preaching at
his audience, and capacity for bathos that is
something wonderful, a capacity with which
some others of the company are literally en-
dowed. Miss Campbell was pleasing 'May,"
though she failed to make all she should of
the character, having defective command Of
the pathetic. The soubrette Miss Nellie
Young, gave as "Sam Willoughly'' the most
popular impersonaton of the evening. 1t had
obvious defects, bus it was played with SO
much heartiness and spirit, was so rolicking in
its tone, that the audience forgave or overlook
ed all DEFICIENCIES. In happier selections much
pleasure may be expected from Miss Youns's
characterizations. Mr.. Theodore gave good
conventional "Moss." Mr.. Harkinson was an

by the afterpiece Borrowed Plumes."

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.


The sermon by DIR. Smaller was from John
Will, 81: Eye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free" These words, he
said, present to us for consideration, truth
and freedom, and propose to speak of them
IN this discourse IN their inseparable connec-
ton. Truth means conformity TO fact or
reality, including verify, veracity, fidelity,
honesty, integrity and virtue, hence stands
opposed to error and falsehood, of every kind
such as deceit, hypocrisy, sham and mere
pretense., Jesus IN his teachings often used
this word truth in specific sense, referring
to the religion which he came to introduce.
The Jews had been many centuries
under a dispensation of types, ceremo
MES and rites which were
shadow of good to come. Of these he repre-
sents himself as being the substance, they
all pointed towards him as the reality, the
verify of the things typifed. Hence his
declaration, 81 am the truth To embrace
the doctrines he taught, and follow his pre-

Ingersoll.

A large number of people in this vicinity
were greatly disappointed at IngersolPs fail
ure to speak in Madison last Thursday. A
special train was in readiness at the depot
to start for Madison, when telegram was
received that Ingersoll had missed the train
in Chicago and consequently could not fill
his engagement Special trains were put
on every road running into Madison. The
train from Milwaukee had started and was
several miles on the road before notice was
received that the speaker had failed to ar.
rive. At Portage the train was all loaded
and about taking is departure when notice
was received that Ingersoll would not speak
as expected. The enthusiastic crowd made
up their minds, however, to go to Madison
and have good time, Ingersoll or no In
gersoll and 60 they did, and according to
all reports they were not disappointed in
their good time. Friday afternoon lngersoll
spoke at Oshkosh and at Fond Lu Lac in
the evening. Saturday evening he made
the people of Madison happy by delivering
powerful speech in the Assembly Cham
Der. Immense crowds greeted Ingersoll
everywhere in Wisconsin.

who were suspended some time since on
account of collision to an extra train

An Unsyvervab Argument.

The strongest argument which can be
urged against the ACCESSIBILITY of admin s.
tering such corrosive and 'nerve-destroy ing
poisons as arsenic and quinine for intermt-
tent and remittent fevers, is the vastly SUI
perior success, in the prevention and cure
such diseases, of medicine which is thief
very antipode Of the above named drugs,
both in respect Of its composition and the
results wrought by it. such medicine is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a purely vege-
table preparation which not only eradicate
with with wonderful promptitude every
trace of fever and ague and kindred types
of malarious disease, from the system but
is a certain preventive Of all maadies be-
gotten Of masma- tainted air and water
These results mineral anti febrlle remedies
do not effect with certainty, and their con-
tinued use entails consequences highly per-
nicious to the System The Bitter on the
contrary, not only afford speedy relief, but
establish health on permanent basis.

to their usual places OF worship, and In SOL
emn assembly return hearty thanks to Al
mighty God for His goodness and loving
kindness TO us as a nation, and humby sup
plicate him for a continuance of His divine
favor, to the end that civil and religious
liberty moral and material prosperity. en-
lightened ami free government may be
vouchsafed to us forever.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto
