4 WIDELY APPLICABLE REMEDY,

Few remedies are applicable to such a wide
range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, and this not because il has special proper
ties adapted to the cure oil each-such u pretence
would be manifestly absurd, but on account
of its wonderful improving effect upon the or
gans of nutrition, secretion and discharge.
Besides its well known properties as a remedy for
Intermittent and remittent fevrrs, dyspepsia,
constipation, torpidity of the liver. general de-
bility, urinary and uterine difficulties, it inva-
riably proves to be highly seryiceable in over

DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other reme-
dies advertised as for Consumption, probably
contain OPIUM which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptve pa
tiens it must do great injury for its tendency is to
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, Of
course, must make cure impossible Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain pari-
Gle Of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act the lungs, liver stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac-
companied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is pro
fessionally at his principal Office corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia every Monday where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

MONDAY EVENING.

MONDAY EVENING.
HALLoWELL, June 20.
The state anniversaries of the Baptists of
Maine are now being held with the Baptist
church in Hallowell. The exercises commenced
On Monday evening, June 10th, with memo
rial address upon the life, character and labors
of the late Rev. c. G. Porter of Bangor. The
speaker gave clear analysis of the mental and
moral characteristics of the departed, who was
for years one Of the standard bearers of the
Baptist cause in the eastern part of the state.
His promptness in entering life work of de-
votion, his spiriti of entire conservation to
God, his indomitable perseverance, his pecu-
liar adaptation to his work as a preacher. a
pastor and a man. and the corresponding sue
cess which attended his labors, passed seyerally
in review. A glowing tribute was paid to his
memory and the earnest hope expressed that
his mantle might fall upon his brethren in the
ministry. The devotional services of the occa-
sion were participated in by Rev. G. P. Mat
thews of Thomaston, and Rev. Joseph Kali
loch of Rockland. The choir discussed sweet
music and much satisfaction was expressed at
the evenings entertainment.
TUESDAY MORNING.
AT s o'clock the Board of Trustees of the
Missionary Committee held its closing meeting
for the year, listened to ard approved the re
port of the Secretary of the Convention, and
transacted other necessary business preliminary
to the meeting of the Convention.
The seventy-second anniversary of the Maine
Baptist Missionary Convention commenced its
first days session at o'clock a. M, the Presi-
dent, Rev. A. r. Crane of HalIowell, in the
chair. After singing, the scriptures were read
and prayer offered by Rev. DR.. Smaller of Port
land. After brief and very appropriate ad-
dress by the President, setting forth the objects
of the meeting, hearty address of welcome
to its Inequalities was made in behalf of the
church in Hallowell, by its pastor, Rev. w. A,
Newcombe.
Messrs. Newcombe, Burrage, White and
Kicker, were appointed a committee of arrange
ments, and Messrs. Dore, Bicknell and Estes
were appointed q committee on credentials.
The committee on arrangements made its re-
port, in accordance with which the annual re-
port of the Board Of Trustees was then read
by the Corresponding Secretary, Rev. Dr.
Kicker af Augusta. The report contained
suitable mention of the sudden removal Of Rev.
G. G. Porter of Bangor, and Rev. c. Tibbetts
of North Berwick. The finances of the con-
vention are in very prosperous condition,
large increase of receipts being reported for the
year. The report was laid on the table for dis
cussion hereafter. Visiting brethren from
abroad aud ministers of other denominations
were invited to participate in the deliberations
of the convention Fl.

DEATH OF JOHN NEAL.-AlthoughJ John
Neal has been confined to his house for several
months, scarcely any one was aware of it and
consequently his death, which occurred yester-
day morning, was general surprise to all but
a few of his most intimate friends. As early
as January Mr.. Neal had severe attack of
neuralgia rheumatism of the brain, which was
followed by severe cough He recovered from
these complaints and was able to walk out in
pleasant weather. For the last six weeks he
has been confined TO his house and has been
slowly sinking His mind was active to the
last, although he was in a stupor most of the
time, but when aroused he would converse
freely and clearly on different subjects. He
continued in this condition until Monday even
ing. when he became unconscious and remained
SO until six o'clock yesterday, when he quietly
passed away at the age of nearly S3 years. An
extended notice of Mr.. Neal will be fonnd on
first page of this paper.

ELECTION BLANKs.-The last Legislature
made it the duty of the Secretary of State to
issue the blanks for election returns to the
cities, towns and plantations instead of having
the distribution made by the sheriffs of the re-
spective counties. The form of the blanks
heretofore used are as old as the state and
long before the use Of envelopes became gen
eral. The Secretary of State, after consulting
the proper authorities, has got up forms Of a
similar character and to facilitate the proper
making up of the returns and obviate the nee
essity of sealing wax, waters or mucilage, has
enclosed each blank return in an en,elope
which is addressed to the proper sficials, and
has also printed upon it the nature of the en-
closed return. It is a great Improvement upon
the old form,

AN OLD DoDGE.-The old dodge of directing
liquors for Portland to parties in New Hamp-
shire has been tried again and as usual failed.
One j. Heating, doing business on India street,
had occasion to order three barrels Of beer
from Boston and had it directed to. Mr.. Gala
han, Gorham, N. III. The beer came down on
the Forest City yesterday morning, but unfor-
tunately the deputies were on the wharf when
the steamer arrived. The officers discovered
the beer and at once started in quest of job
wagon to carry it to the office on Myrtle street.
In their absence Mr.. Heating jumped on board
the steamer and rolled the beer into the dock.
Then two sailors from the Ossipee arrived on
the scene in boat and towed two of the bar
rels away, while the officers took the third,
which will enable the officers to make an ex-
cellent case against some one.

Arrival of the Vermont Party.

Conductor Richards train over the Ogdens-
burg last evening brought large excursion
party from the vicinity of st. Johnsbury. The
party numbered upwards of $50 and was COM
posed of business and professional med, farm
ers, mechanics and two fire companies from st.
Johnsbury. There was large number of Ia
dies among them, and the party was a very
lively one. Between one and two hundred OF
them took the boat for Boston last evening, and
will return here the latter part of the week.
The remainder of the party were quartered at
the different hotels. The Preble had goodly
number, the City Hotel upwards of one hum
dred, the United States about seventy-five and
the remainder of the party were distributed
among the other hotels. Among the party at
the City Hotel there were quartette of fine
singers and on their arrival they took posses
sion Of the parlor and entertained the other
guests of the house with several choice selec-
tions.
1t is to be regretted that there is no entertain
ment in the city on any evening this week.
Last evening the party amused themselves in
promenading on Congress street, fact which
accounted for the larger number of strangers in
the street last evening. This morning the par
ty will make an excursion down the harbor on
the steamer Gazelle. Many of them will re-
main until Saturday, and doubtless our mer-
chants will find it to their advantage to call up
on them, as number of them are intending to
purchase goods before they return. IL is hoped
this large party will receive due attention from
our citizens during their stay in the city.
