THE FRYEBURG KIDNAPPING CAsE.-Our
Fryeburg correspondent writes: Several days
ago there appeared in your paper an article
from A. M. Richardson, denying the statement
of your correspondent in regard to the kidnap-
ping of the Smith boy by his father. only
sent what was currently reported and supposed
to be true, casting no reflection nor intending
to favor either side. I now learn that the truth
was not half told. So it is claimed by those
who pretend to know. AZ interview with the
grandfather of the child, Daniel Smith, sub
stimulates my previous letter. He says that
the father of the child never contributed one
cent toward his support. The child was born
in April, thirteen years ago, and the mother
died the following month. On her dying bed
the mother gave the child TO Mrs Daniel Smith
and asked her as dying request to take care
of 1t as her own. The father of the child was
in the army. No claim was ever made for the
boy until last fall, which Mr. Smith says grew
out of opposition to BENZ amin Smith, another
son, coming home to 1--we with the father.
Then Daniel Smith, Jr. claimed the boy Not
being able to get him peaceably, Daniel Smith,
Jr. watched for the boy, and WHEN at school
one day called for him. The teacher, mistrust-
ing what was the intent, instead of letting the
child 90 out alone, let all the scholars have re-
cess. He took the child by force, and, as is al
legged by the scholars, was obliged to put his
hand over the child's mouth to suppress bis
cries. Thursday the grandfather went to see
the boy, not to get him, but to look upon him,
for bis b. art bea,s with all the love that con-
slant care from the cradle would naturally in
still. The boy tried to rush to his arms, but the
father caught him and held him, while the boy
cried to go. The child is watched all the time
for fear of escape IknoE not who is in the
most wrong My only object was to give the
pubic a true version OF the case that has at
tracted SO much of public attention While
talking with the old man he could not refrain
from crying. The sympathy in this section is
very strong for him.

SANFORD IN THE CENTENNIAL.--A cores
pondent OF the Springvale Reporter says that
Thomas Goodae, ESQ.,, the skillful manufac-
turer of lap and other robes at Sanford, is max
ing preparation for an exhibition of bis excel
lent goods at the Centennial He says that
several very beautiful robes, designed especial
ly for the occasion, and gotten up at great ex-
pense. may already be seen at his store room.
A few of these deserve especial mention. The
par excellence centennial robe is splendid de-
sign, representing England and America. The
Union Jack aud Stars and Stripes form Gen.
ter piece bound together by the Atlantic cable
and the olive branch. On one side of this is
the English lion and upon the other the Ameri-
foundation of solid rock. The design is hap
py one and the execution skillful, and will
find, no doubt, many admirers in both coun-
tries. The next robe is purely national in de-
sign; the American Eagle is represented as
alighting upon the shield in an attitude of de-
tense, the old flag on either side. and the olive
branch and arrows beneath.
A third Is very beautiful and life-like rep.
resentation of large Newfoundland dog from
celebrated painting by Sir Edward Landseer,
entitled "OH to the Roscoe" Still another
gives pair of wild horses running on the open
prairie terrified ia storm:
These and others must be seen to be appre-
ciated. No little credit is due to the taste and
skill of Mr.. VIM. Kernon, the designer and
block cutter, for the fine appearance OF these
robes.
They will be exhibited in splendid black
walnut case constructed on purpose for them.
When all completed and on exhibition they
will make display that will do justice to the
taste, energy and enterprise Of the manufac-
turer.

Dr. schenck,s Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, ScHENcK's SEA-
WE'D Tonic, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
and If taken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia his unIvalle in the treat
ment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws off by an easy expecora
ton, for when the phegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructons, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali Of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng. 1t assists
the digestion by tonng up the stomach to healthy
condition, SO that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to prevent
fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonaly or by letter. do so at his principal office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs.. Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Is THAT IT?-It is said that the following
resolutions, adopted at the recent meeting of
the Maine Central Directors, squint at the pos.
sble extension of the Maine Central from
Skowhegan to Scion and thence Canadaward:
Whereas, The extension of railroad facilities
in the valley of the Kennebec for the develop
ment of resources in connection with he line
of this road has become desirable, not only to
our OWL citizens, but also to the people of the
adjoining Dominion of Canada, and
Whereas, Sound policy would suggest that
all expenditures for the construction of addi-
tional road be made only on full and careful
consultation by the parties whose interests are
involved therein. Therefore
ReSolued, That the president and directors,
Alden, Sewall and Davis, be and hereby are
appointed a committee with power to confer
with other corporations or parties interested in
such extension of our railroad system, and to
enter into such contracts or agreements as will
secure that object in the most practical, prompt
and economical manner, and report the same
to this Board for its action thereon.
