cross, and produce sickness.
Castora will assimilate the food, expel worms
and correct all these things. For twenty years Dr.
Pitcher expe imented in his private practice to pro

which would be as effective as Castor Oil, without
its unpleasant taste or reccil.
The reputation of his experiment extended. Ply

which he gave the name OF Castoria.
Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey, resu.

is absolutely harmless Co the most tender infant.

There is considerable excitement over the free
bridge question in Gardiner In accordance with
the call meeting was held in johnson Hall, on
Wednesday evening, and the place was packed.
The opponents of making the Gardiner and Pitts
ton bridge free, were quite determined, and early
in the meeting got in motion to adjourn, and
owing to the closeness of the vote and the packed
condition of the hall the moderator was unable to
declare how the matter stood, thus leaving the
meeting blocked for time so far as speech max
ing is concerned. After wrangling in this style
for time, the opposition was prevailed upon to
withdraw the motion to adjourn, and allow Zone
offered by l.. Clay, Esq., to appoint committee to
investigate the matter, to prevail. AS soon as this
motion was carried, amoton was made to journ
to Wednesday afternoon at the same place, use
check lists, and vote on the matter. motion pre-
vailed for the appointment of a committee of five
to investigate the matter, and report. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed: John Berry.

Darby Hall was taken last evening, for the bust
ness meeting Of the Augusta Reform Club, and
that was packed. The committee on bylaws re-
ported the bylaws Of the Auburn Reform Club,
with slight amendments, which were adopted.
There are TO be two weekly meetings, on Monday
and Saturday evenings. The committee to wait
upon the Ladies Union and TO see about procur-
ing permanent headquarters, reported, and the
same committee were instructed, in con junction
with a committee from the Union, to procure
club room and cause the same to be fitted up
While business was being transacted and men
going forward to sign the pledge, amid the ap-
plause Of the brethren, knock was heard at the
outer door, and soon there entered delegation
Of fourteen ladies from the Ladies' Temperance
Christian Union, who were courteously and en-
Enthusiastically received, the club arising and doing
them honor. Mrs. S. G. Sargent, President of
the Union, addressing the President assured him
and the clnb of the hearty corporation Of the
Union in their beneticent endeavors. Mrs. VIII
hanson reported in regard to the matter of rails
ing money for the objects of the club, that the
people had responded most nobly and literally
Mrs. DIR. Qainby, then expressed the warm and
Reformers, and invited the members of the club
to a meeting Of the Union then being held at Me-
oman Hall. President Rogers responded. Three
usty cheers were given for the ladies, after which
they retired.
The Reformcrs, wearing scarlet badges, then
formed a procession, with double ranks, and
marched to Meonian Hall. The procession must
have struck terror to the hearts of runsellers, for
as the forward part of the column was entering the
outer door of Meonian building, the rear was just
about emerging from Darby block. AS the "boys'
marched into the hall, they were greeted with ap-
pause by hundreds OF fair ladies, the first class
ladies' Of the city, who formed circle round the
hall, about the stairway and ante rooms, encourg-
ing by their presence and their smiles of appro-
baton their brothers, sons and friends, who have
started on new course of life. 1t was an inter-
esting spectacle, as the Reformers came into the
hail. taking seats. and then the hall was filed with
