the Congregational Society will give a
social and literary entertainment next
week, on Thursday afternoon, and
supper in the evening at half past 5
o'clock All are cordially invited.
The ladies of this society have or

Ladies Social and Literary Society.
The object of this society is for the
combining of more friendly and I'M
selfish. and more social feeling among
the people in general than has for a
time existed The Parlor is place
where all are invited to come and make

the sole object is not to get the al
mighty dollar, but for all that is true
and good and ennobling. The object
is not merely to get your ''ten cents
but you are wanted for your company.
Some, yes, good many (who ought
to know better and who We believe do
know better) will make remarks such
as this, "Well, [ will go up and give
them my ten cents, that is all they
want anyway" Now. friends, we
wish it diStintly understood that such
is not the case by any means, and all
who might have entertained any such
ideas heretofore, we will trust to your
candid judgment that you will DROP
any such idea Immediately, fer any
such idea is all wrong and wrong
Interpretation of the object of such
meetings All friends may rest assur.
ed that they are truly and honestly In
vited from the purest of motives, with
the intention that they may profit by
so attending.

P. O. Hints.

Greater security Is Afforded to the
public by careful attention to the fol-
lowing recommendations in reference
to all mail matter.
LIST. To mail all letters &c. as early
as possible. To make the address leg
IDLE and complete, giving the name of
the post Office, county and state. The
name of the street and the number of
the house should also be given on let
tiers addressed to cities, for while let
ters will eventually reach their desti-
nation without number, the omission
is often the cause of hesitation and
delay
In the case of letters for places in
foreign countries the name of the
country as well as the post office should
be given in full. Letters addressed,
for instance to s:London" merely,
without adding England, are frequent
ly sent to London, Canada, and vice
versa, thereby causing delay and often
serious loss.
To see that every letter, newspaper
or other packet is securely folded and
fastened.
Avoid using as much as possible
cheap envelopes, made of thin paper
especially where more than one sheet
of paper or any other article than is
enclosed. Being often handled and
even in the mail bags subject to pres
sure, such envelopes not unfrequently
split open, often giving cause of com
plant against officials who are entirely
innocent in the matter.
Never to send money or any article
of value through the mail, except eth
er by means of a money order or in a
registered letter. Any person who
sends money or jewelry in an unregis,
tered letter, not only runs risk Of
losing his property, but exposes to
temptation every one through whose
hands bis letter passes, and may by
the means Of ultimately bringing some
clerk or letter carrier to ruin.
To provide, in cities where lette,
carriers are employed, letter boxes at
the Offices or private residences, there
by saving much delay in the delivery
of mail matter.
To see that every letter contains
the full name and post office address of
the writer, Nth county and state, in
order TO secure the return of the let
ter if the person to whom it is direct
ed cannot DE found. A much larger
portion of the undelivered letters
could be returned if the names and
addresses of the senders were always
either fully and plainly written inside
or embossed on the envelope.
Persons who have large correspond
ence find it most convenient to use
especial request envelopes but those
who only mail an occasional letter can
avoid much trouble by aoriting a re.
quest to ''return if not delivered etc.
on the envelope.
When dropping letter, newspaper,
etc, into street letter-box, or into
the receptacle at post Office, always
see that the packet falls into the box
and does not stick in its passage OBJ
serve also, as fnality, whether the
postage stamps remain securely in
their places.
So frequent are the instances where
one member Of the same firm has TAX
en- and retained, through carelessness.
letters belonging to other members of
the firm, and to the great displeasure
of the postmaster, that too much can
not be urged for all to secure separate
boxes.

Each day at Exposition

In presenting this array of figures,
We have, of course, adopted the short
est and quickest hne to the Centennial,
IN order to giue the CHEAPEST, and
that route is by the GREAT Fort
WAYNE AND PENNLYLvANIA LINE,
which runs all it's trains direct to the
main entrance, thus saving to the trau-
eler the cost Of carriage hire or the
veratious annoyance Of slow going
street cars, aohich Travellers By all other
routes must use, in order to reach the
Centennial grounds, more than three
miles distant from any depot, except
the commodious one erected by the
PENNSYLVANIA LINE for the enjoy
ment of it's patrons.
Every visitor to the Centennial has
testified to the superiority of the Great
Fort Wayne and Pennsylvania Line
with It's complete and elegant Parlor,
Sleeping and Hotel Coaches, where
one can luxuriously recline and view
with delight the charming scenery of
lofty mountains, beautiful valleys, and
ripping waters of the bright and
sparkling Juniata, together with the
famous Horse Shoe Bend, Allegrippus,
Pack Saddle. the crossing of the Sus-
quehanna, and an endless variety of
lovely sights not to be found on any
other but this popular line.
One could spend hours in writing
of it's beauties and comforts. but space
forbids our saying more than this by
all means take the Great Fort Wayne
and Pennsylvania Line to the Centen-
NAL, and reach the very GATEWAY OF
THE EXPOSITION aoithont change of
cars or any transfer.

ART STUDIEs.-The advertisement of the la
dies who are getting up the entertainments in
aid of the Maine General Hospital, will be
found In its appropriate column. Our people
are sufficiently familiar with fine scenic tab
leaux and with Mr. BartIett's exceptional skill
and taste in arranging them, to know that the
exhibitions will be brilliant and attractive. The
object is one which has been favorite charity
for centuries, as the alienation of suffering is
something in which people Of every shade of
religion or difference of opinion can heartily
Join, one which softens the rigors of the battle
field and makes the bitterest enemies akin, and
one which our citizens will more thoroughly
appreciate when they have become more close
ly identified with it by the good work which
they are sure sooner or later to perform in put
ting it on firm and lasting foundation. The
money raised by these exhibitions last year has
done substantial service. The free bed estab-
lished for the year has been occupied almost
continually. A young girl dying of consump-
ton was received and nursed until her death.
Another girl was nursed through five weeks of
pneumonia. A woman was kept through
three months illness, and for two months past
it has nursed young man suffering with
wearsome and dangerous illness, which would
have subjected his relatives to exhausting cares
and great expense which it seems impossible
that they could have sustained. Requests of
the wealthy under the inspiration of their own
sufferipgs will ia time provide plenty of per-
manently free beds, but, in the meantime, let
us provide them by making merry, so long as
that will effect the object. The pictures will
be now. excepting such as are repeated by re-
quest The pantomfmes also are new here and
are in rehearsal with excellent amateur casts.
Those who have bought 35 cent tickets can ex-
change them for reserved seats by paying Is
cents more.

Unsolicited Testimony.
FAIRFIELD, Me-, April %. 1864.
Gentlemen Seeing numerous certificates in
the Maine Farmer, endorsing the merits of the
Great Lung Remedy, Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, am induced and take great pleasure
in giving publicity to the great cure it accom-
plished in my family in the year 1856 During.
the summer of that year my son, Henry A.
Archer, now postmaster in this place, was at
tackled with splitting OF blood, cough, weakness
of lungs, and general debility, SO much so that
our family physician declared him to have a
SEATED consumption" He was under medical
treatment for number of months, but received
no benefit from it. At length, from the solicit
tation of himself and others, was induced to
purchase one bottle of Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry. which benefited him so much I
obtained another, which in a short time restor-
ed him to his usual state of health. 1 can
safely recommend this remedy to others in like
condition, for it is, think, all it purports to be
the great lung remedy for the times! S
The above statement, gentlemen,i is my volun-
tary offering to you in favor of your Balsam,
and is at your disposal.
As ever, yours, ANDREW ARCHER,
