A LIVELY YoUTH.-Last evening one of the
clerks in the fruit store of H. w. Libby
discovered a boy stealing apples from the

pulled him into the window, but not until the

his feet. The boy complained that his back
was broken, whereupon he was released, when
he jumped through back window and depart
ed much to the establishment of those who had
but moment before sympathized with him
because his back was broken.

PERSONAL.

The remarks in the PRESS of yesterday re-
flecting upon Mr.. j. w. Jones were made in
the haste of reporting and in the heat aroused
by the very strong language of Mr.. Jones. OF
course everybody, the PRESS and Mr.. Jones
not excepted, is likely under excitement to say
things which would be omitted on more ma
ture reflection. A gentleman whose business
operations have been so extensive and useful
to this city and county should be treated re-
spectfully and with consideration, even though
he may under great excitement make use Of
expressions which he would probably regret in
cooler moments. 1t is but just to Mr.. Jones
and to the PRESS to say that this statement ia
made without suggestion or solicitation on his
his part.
Harry Brown has engaged rooms for himself
and family at the Glen Ellis House, Jackson
| Falls, and will take up his abode there soon
after the Fourth. He will sketch in the vicin-
ity during the months of July and August.
Commodore Robt. Boyd. of the U. S. Navy,
is in town OF a short visit.
AN APPEAL.-Some young lady who has 10
idea of standing behind counter in dry
or fancy goods store on the glorious Fourth,
sends the following earnest appeal to
Mayor Fessenden
PORTLAND, June %, '76
Manor FeSSenden:
Dear Sir:-As it is proposed to celebrate the
coming anniversary of our Independence quite
extensively in this city, will you make a re-
quest through the columns of the "Dailies" to
the retail dry and fancy goods merchants that
they will not open their stores on that day,
that being the motion decided upon in several
of the larger cities of the Union. The clerks
would like an opportunity of displaying their
patriotism once during the century.
CENTENNIAL.
A DELIGHTFUL ExcURsIoN.-The Free street
and Williston societies and Sunday Schools
make their annual excursion to Little Chebeague
Island to-day. The barge Island Belle will
leave State street wharf at 9 a. M, and the
steamer Magnet will leave Portland Pier at 2
p. m. If the day is pleasant the excursion will
be delightful.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs ON THE FOURTH We
hear that the committee of Knights having
charge of the arrangements for the Fourth
have nearly completed their labors. Presump.
scot Valley Lodge of Westbrook and Highland
Lodge of Brdgton, will be the guests of the
lodges in this city, and will participate in the
parade in the morning. Immediately after the
procession is dismissed the Knights division,
led by the Bridgton Band, will march to Frank
lin wharf and take the steamer Forest City for
dinner and three hours sail among the islands
of the bay. This arrangement will enable the
excursonists to observe the regatta as we'll as
afford most tempting opportunity for rest
from the fatigue of the march, in the cool and
beauty of an afternoon excursion. The steam
er will return to the wharf at about o'clock.
The families and friends of the Order are in
vited to join in the excursion, and the steamer
will remain at the wharf for short time to al
low them opportunity to come on board. The
Bridgton Band will accompany the excursion
and provide music during the afternoon. Tick
cts to the excursion, not including dinner, may
be obtained of members of the Order at 25
cents each.

Porous Plssters.

Porous plasters have been much Improved 70
Gently in BENsoN's OAPcINE PLASTER, by o
new method Of treating the rubber SO that. u
contains moro electricity than fermerly, one Of
the qualities for which a'porous plaster has been
especially valued, aud bythe- addition Of Cap
cine, which causes the plaster to act immedi-
ately and makes it the most reliable remedy
known for colds, rheumatism, lamensss of the
back and muscles, kidney complaint, or any OF
the diseases for which q porous plaster or lini-
nent has been used. The manufacturers are
pleased TO learn that there Is large class of
conscientious druggists who, having become con-
vinced ef the great merit OF BESsoN's CAPcINE
PLASTER, recommend It in preference to all
others. OF such are E. Drehn, Newark, N. J.;
Chss. Althan and NJ. NJ. Cook, Brooklyn, N. Y;
Thompson, Lilly & Co., Baltimore, Nd; Robert
Powers, Richmond, Va. Vincent, of Broadway.
Brooklyn, says "he recommends no other;r
Gullek & Berry, Tsrre Hsu.e, lid, say "thsy
are convinced from results from sales there that
they are much superior to ordinary porous
plssters;" Cole & Flynn, Danville, Va, say
"they have given satisfaction in every case;r W.
T. Weber, Springfield, Mass, says, "They con-
stftute an advertising medium In themselves ("
Thus speak many others. The manufacturers
also regret to hear that IN some instances drug
gists, acting from pecuniary motives, as not SO
porous plasters have used their influence to per.
susde their customers to substitute some other
article in place Of BENsoN's CAPcINE PLASTER.
When you aek for BENsoN's CAPcINE PLASTER

An allusIon was made in the NATIONAL RE
PUBLICAN few days since to this case. The full
particulars have since been CLEANED from the
Equity Court records. In April last Mrs. Rosa
Close filed bill for divorce from her husband,
Jerome b. Close, alleging cruelty, endangering
her life and health. The defendant, in his an.
suer, specifically denied each and every material
allegation Of the bill, and from the voIumnous
testimony taken in the case before Examiner p.
+. LaTner It appears that the complainant's
eaef cause Of discomfort grew out of the inability
and disinelination Of the defendant to support her
In career Of fashionable dissipation. The di.
Torce prayed for in this case was opposed on two
grounds, viz: That the charges were unEounded
ins fact, and that, whether true or not, COM
plainaut, by her repeated designations by various
men, some Of whom the testimony, We regret 70
say, shows are prominent in this community was
barred BY her own misconduct. Judge Wylie, In
reviewing the testimony, enuncIated the doctrine
that IN eases where the proof pointed 50 posi-.
u1ely tc the intdelity Of the wife the husband
