TO ALL, particularly invads, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be at
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become conspated and the system
to remain in disordered condition. until the disor-
der has time to develop itself. An ounce of preyen-
ton is worth pound of cure is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled
with the complaints NV very prevalent headache,
indigestion disordered liver, want of appetite, nau-
sea. or feyerish ski, to take without delay, Schencks
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action. 1t at once strikes at
the root of the disease and produces healthy tone to
the system. People never need suffer from any dis
ease arising from disordered condition of the liver
if they would take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady. Families
leaving home for the summer months should take
three four boxes OF these pills with them. They
have an almost instantaneous effect They will re-
lieve the patient of headache in one or two hours.
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding
bile, and will effectually prevent bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists

DAvY CRoCkETT.-Next Monday evening
M. Frank Mayo opens season of three nights
and one matinee at Music Hall in his play OF
Davy Crockett. The Providence Journal gives
the following criticism of the piece:
Frank Mayo's David Crockett is the best pic
ture of the American backwoodsman ever put
upon the stage-as satisfactory as Leather
stocking in literature, and with the same de-
fects-that is to say, with an occasional touch
of over-strained sentiment and over-rehned
language taken from conventional literature
and not from the study of nature. Like Coop
er's novels too, the character is merged in a
commonplace plot, with stereotyped figures,
which obscure and render it unnatural rather
than bring it into perfect relief as Bret Harte' 8
stories do with his border heroes. 1t is, per-
haps, unfortunate, also, that it is called David
Crockett, whose character, strongly marked
and peculiar, was not so much that of the typl-
cal backwoodsman as of the sharp, coarse,
ready-witted stump speaker aud Tennessee
politician. with a considerable infusion of vani-
ty, and whose heroic death at the massacre of
the Alamo redeemed his fame by an exhibition
of the clear grit which such men haue in adj
dition to their demagoguery, and which was, in
fact, necessary to success amoug such people:
Casting aside any recollections of the David
Crockett of history, the assumption of the
character by Mr.. Mayo 8 very fine piece of
acting, as characteristic and complete in Its
way as Joe Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle or j.
L. Raymond's Col. Sellers.

THE YACHT CLUB RAcE.-It is feared that
there will be but one beat entered in the first
class for the regatta which comes eff week
from to-day. The Ray is not in condition to
sail, the Sparkle will not probably enter, so
there will only be the Viva to contest for the
cup, which she now holds. In the second and
third classes there will, however, be music. In
each of these classes there are number of
new boats to compete for the society cups.
Last year it was very close, and this season it
will be very exciting.

Music HALL.-Another large audience filled
Music Hall last evening to witness Nine.
Rentz's minstrel performance. OF course they
all went to see the minstrel part of the enter
tainment, but no one went out when the can
can was danced. The first part of the perfor-
nance differed but little from the evening be.
fore. For some unknown reason the managers
turned Ferguson, the lunatc, loose on the
stage and allowed him to keep up the reputa-
tion which he so justly earned on the previous
evening Surely this would be a small show
without this Ferguson, but it is wonder Bar
mum allows him to roam at large. James
Roache, the comedian, was applauded time af-
ter time, and fairly bore off the palm of the
evening" He is probably the best mirth pro-
voking darkie we have seen in variety show.
The entertainment closed with the can can
which was danced as on the previous even
ing. The audience showed some dissatisfac-
tion because it did not exceed the first night
exhibition.

lungs and chest. 1t was introduced to the pub
lie by DR.. Wstar nearly half a century since,
and by the wonderful cures which it performed
gained an immediate and enviable reputation.
which to this day it has fully sustained. From
the gulf of the St Lawrence to the shores of

there are few villages or hamlets without s'iiv-

this morning fire was discovered in the large
barn in Ferry Village belonging to Nathan R.
Dyer. 1t was well under way, and attempts to
save the building were useless. Mr.. Dyer sue
ceeded in getting out buggy wagon and a
harness, but about all the rest of the contents,
including twelve to fifteen tons of hay, horse,
five head of cattle, baggage wagon, two har-
nesses aid lot of farming utensils, were de-
stroyed. Mr.. Dyer's loss will not fall short of
$4,000, on which there is an insurance of $500.
1t is supposed the fire was set. Luckily there
was no wind blowing, otherwise Mr.. Dyer's
house would have gone and the whole lower
part of the village been endangered.
