EAGLES.
Total,

Geo. Lake of Bucksport, and Charles H. Page
of Sidney, who committed the assault on Ed
munds and escaped from the Insane Hospital the
other night, have not yet been captured. Page
was supposed to be at his former home, in Sidney,
but an officer was sent for him, and has not been
able to find him. He may possibly be conceallng
himself in the woods. Edmunds is recovering
from his wounds that were very severe. We no.
tice that some of the papers contound Page who
has escaped, with Page the miserable Chelsea muir
derer. The latter has too much cowardice to at
tack full grown man. He can do better with
poor, weak, defenceless woman, with sucking
babe at her breast.

MEN do not really die of Heart disease as often

As brain worry produces premature dissolution
by its depressing influence upon the general ncr-
vous health, by eating the brain faster than the
waste is repaired, and as the means of sustaining
and increasing nervous health is no longer impos.
sible, those who suffer the facilitating influence of
mental anguish or extreme fatigue, need only re-
sort to the preparation of Hypophosphites invent

Loss Of Appetite.
In persons of sedentary and literary pursuits, if
the brain is overworked and the muscles under
worked the appetite is very apt to fail, from gen.
eral atony of the system. The Peruvian Syrup
restores the tone of the digestive system and con-
sequently the appetite by supplying pure blood
to organs too weak to make it without assistance.

organization, the depreciation in value of rail-
road bonds, in which it invested 81 900, 1t
has reserve fand Of 81 ,9ji 3d. which will more
than cover the losses. During the past six
