The usually quiet town of Gray had very
narrow escape from frst-class cock fight yes
terday. 1t seems that there has been consider
able talk of late between parties of Lewiston
and certain parties in this city in regard to the
fighting qualities of their several game cocks.
After considerable discussion, it was arranged
to settle the matter at Gray Station, and yester-
day was decided upon as the day. The parties
from this city were Messrs. McCarty brothers,
Moulton and Rand. They, in company with
about dozen of their friends, went out to
Gray Station yesterday morning at six o'clock,
in teams. Soon after reaching there, the crowd
from Lewiston arrived on the train. 1t was
not deemed judicous to allow the fight to take
place there, for such an arrival of distinguished
men HAD created quite an excitement in the
village. Consequently they repaired to Morse's
Mill in South Gray, about five miles from the
station, and at once began to make arrange
ments for the fight
In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Berry of
Gray got wind of the affair and teegraphed to
Marshal Parker for aid to prevent the fight.
Deputy Marshal Bridges and Williams re-
sponded to the call, and at once drove out to
the field of strife. They reached the mill and
entered before single one of the crowd saw
them. The Lewiston fellows took to their
heels, running in every direction with their
birds. The Portland men were known, and
knew that nothing would be gained in running,
so they stood their ground They said that
each side had five birds, and there was SIS on a
side, but refused to give the name of the stake
holder. They also stated that the match had
not begun when the officers arrived. A boy
who was in the mill, however, says that there
had been one round, aud that when the officers
arrived they we're preparing for a second. No
arrests were made. The Portland men took
rather matter-of-fact view of the case, re-
marking to the officers that times were hard
and they were anxious to raise little of the
hard

SCHENCK'S PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly cele-
brated and popular medicines have effected revo-
luton in the healing art and proved the faacy of
several maxims which have for many years obstruct-
ed the progress efmedical science The false suppo-
stion that Consumption is ncurable deferred ply
scians from attempting to find remedies for that dis
ease, and patients afflicted with it reconced them
selves to death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable
1t IS now proved however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in a very great
number Of cases some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in
other cases by the medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one

DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was supposed
at one me to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
solutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck I'M

The North street Methodist church in Cor
ham is now enjoying great religious interest.
Sinners are seeking Christ and wanderers are
returning to the fold. Also at the High street
church good interest prevails. Several have
recently professed faith in the Saviour, and
others are enquiring the way to be saved. The
church debt which has for some time pressed
heavily upon this parish, has been all removed,
and the Society is now free.
The present term of the Gorham Seminary
has been very successful, though not so large
as some others. Tho prospect for the spring
term is much more encouraging. Prof. Wilson
Is one of the best of teachers.

THE MUsEUM.-There was another great
house at the Museum last evening. Evidently
snow storms have little effect upon the admir-.
the whole theatre-going public The play went
off smoothly, nearly all the parts being excel
lently taken.
This afternoon "London Assurance will be
given for the last time. AS this is the first
Cameron Matinee" packed house may be
confidently looked for. This evening the
charming play of "Dora'', with Miss Cameron
in the title role, will be pnt on the boards.
"Dora" is one of Miss Cameron's most pleas
ing representations, the "Farmer Allen" of
Mr. Arnold is an admirable piece of acting,
and the "Luke Blomfeld'' of Mr. Bascomb is
one of his happiest characterizations. Great
expectations are entertained, too, of Miss Wal
dron's "Mary Morrison" The play is certain
ly fine one, and ought to fill the Museum
every night for week. 1t will, however, be
given but two evenings. The after-piece is the
"Irish Mormon in which Mr.. Curtis, the
popular comedian, makes his temperance,
taking the role of 'Brian O'Lynn," who will
be remembered as the hero of the old nursery
ballad, who, in default of a watch, scooped out
a turnip and put cricket therein.
Seats for Mr.. Arnold's benefit ON Friday
evening are for sale at the box Office. On that
occasion he will give musical olio, which can
not fail to prove great attraction. 1t is we'll
for those who purpose to attend to secure tick
cts at once, for appearances indicate that there
will be full house.
