Portland i'm 1893.

This centennial year makes appropriate all
matters relating to the face of the country, ear
liest openings for settlement and beginnings of
English houses in Maine.
1923 the site of Portland was visited and its
surroundings explored by Christopher Levett,
one of the council of Governor Robert Gorges.
1t was early spring. He landed on the Isle of
Shoals, spent week with Thompson at Pts
cataqua, coasted in two boats along shore to
Portland harbor. Two rivers were found, one
wherein the savages said "much salmon and
other good fish then existed, when the fisher
men fished for herrings and four sturgeon
were taken that season, and on both sides of
which ''the ground is goodly'.
The other river he explored for about three
miles and found great fall of water, much
bigger than the fall at London Bridge at low
water. Further boat cannot 60, but above
the fall the river does not run smooth again,
and just at this fall of water the Sagamoreon
King had his house, and where two Sagamores
move their wives and children. in all about so,
met Levitt and his boats crew, bid him well
come and gave him of their food to eat, and
Lovett in return fed them with tobacco and
strong drink. The great Sycamore Of the east
country is Samaaset Of Pemaquid, known in
English history as Samaset, whom the other
savages regard as chief among them, gave a
beaver coat to Levett IN return for salute fred
on his departure.
Here he fonnd divers ships fishing, hailing
from Weymouth, England. The fishing he
found good, much fowl and "the main as good
ground as any can DESIRE" "Cogatoesco' was
the name of the ruling chieftain here. COCA.
wesco, Mema-wormet,(f father of Mohotiworment
Of Sheepscot) and Samaaset or Somerset
now spelled Samaset, all met him, and Coga-
weseo told him if he would set down at Casco
''he should be very welcome, for Pemaquid,
Cape Bewagep and Monhegan were set
tied then by others. The King of Casco, his
Queen and their son, Prince, with bows and
arrows, dog and kettle, sailed from Boothbay to
Casco, the Kings attendants in their canoes
paping the boatmen. 1t was the
Queens patrimony, and the Sycamore, being
dead, and she an only child, held the
inheritance. She drank toasts to the English
captains and her husband then, bidding them
all "wecome to her country Here Levett
built him a house and fortified it for his home.

would cure the bite of rattlesnake, not
knowing that it would cure any other
poison, both on man and beast. | think

a spoonful Of it internally, and battle
the wound for cure. 70 cure a horse

patient had been given up by his physi-
clans, l heard of it and carried the oil
and gave one spoonful, which effected a
cure. 1t is an antidote for arsenic and
strychnine. 1t will cure bloat in cattle

A Cure for Hog Cholera.

Rein II. Worthington, Sr.. Esq, of
the Second District of Baltimore Coun-
ty, Md, sends to the Torristown Journ-
al the following prescription, which he
states is a sure cure for hog cholera 1t
Is as follows:
Take ten grains of calomel and ten
grains of tartar emetic and make them
into a pill As soon as it is known
that the hog is sick give the pill If
there is no change for the better by next
day, or about twenty-four hours, give
another pill of the same ingredients.
Mr.. Worthington informs US that he
has never known second dose of medi-
cine fail to effect a perfect cure and
restore the hog to health. Mr. Worth
ington himself has cured more than
one hundred hogs which have been af-
ficted with cholera, by this medicine.

immigration for the South.

1t is almost universally conceded that
the Southern States need more people
and capitaI-more skilled, determined
laborers and capital and enterprise TO
build up manufactures With a view to
this, States, companies and individuals
have adopted various plans ard schemes,
and left no effort untried to accomplish
this much desired result Full and ac-
curate accounts Of various States have
been De blished and distributed in ali
proper directions, and still but partial
results have been attained. \ ots ith-
standing our mild climate, fac lands,
supergbundant timber and water, and
vast mineral resources, still i'm migrants

there are thousands Of families Ia the
North with money enough to come and
be tier their location and improve their
financial condition by coming to our
State, for cur lands are cheap and every
thing favorable for happy, profitable

a cause for this condition Of things, we
are satisfied one reason is that the peo-

it is important for these working to in

abuse the minds Of these people, and
then, and not until then, may we expect

others. As one effective means to ac-

urge, the liberal distribution of non. par>

throughout the North. We have no
fears as to the result If those of the
North can be induced to come among
and set acquainted with the Southern
people. One great thirg we have al

Every inducement is now offered for

parcel of our people, working to build
up happy, profitable homes in the sunny
