THE FAIR.-The fair at City Hall will be
the chief object of interest to the I'D Fellows
of this city this week. Judging from the zeal
shown in the preparation we should say that
business will be neglected by more than one
firm in the city. All day Saturday large
number of the fraternity, both male and fe
male, were busy in arranging the tables in the
hall and receiving the many contributions sent
in. The hall is not quite completed but it will
be this afternoon, when the fair opens The
fair will be open from two in the afternoon to
ten in the evening each day of this week. On
Monday evening of next week there will be a
grand promenade concert.
BY an oversight of the committee in charge,
some of the members Of Beacon Lodge have
not been called upon to furnish contributions
for the Lodge table. All such are respectfully
requested to excuse the omission and leave
their contributions at the table this forenoon.

ATTEMPTED STANDARDIZATION Hollowell
is the man who was found here the other day
with married woman of Lewiston, with whom
he had eloped and arrested together with his
paramour for alleged adultery. The proof was

heard it, drew deep sigh, reshed to an apothe

and returning swallowed half Of it in the pres
ence of his adored. DR.. Brooks was called and
by the aid of numerous stomach pumps and
emetics, Hallowall was saved to the world.

feet, free drawing, and delicacy and finish are
remarkable. The composition too is excel

Beaverton has revived the almost lost art of
dry color, and in this picture we'll as in those
that hang upon the walls of Hale's gallery,

of the oil. The other pictures are little inferior
to the one which graces the window. Some
are Adirondack, some Catskill scenes, and all
are beautiful studies of cloud and aerial ef

TAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY.
In the spring of 1868 was most severely af-
ficted with hard, dry cough, with its usual
accompaniment OF night sweats, completely
prostrating my nervous system, and producing
such debiltated state of health that after try
ing medical aid to no purpose, 1 had given up
all hopes of ever recovering as he'd also my
friends. At this stage of matters was pre-
vailed upon, through the influence of a neigh
Dor, to try WIsTARs BALsAM, though with no
belief whatever in its truly wonderful curative
properties, and before using two bottles the
effect was almost magical. My cough entirely
left me, The night sweats deserted me, hope
once more elated my depressed spirits, and
soon had attained my wonted strength and
vigor.
Thus has this Balsam, as has often been re-
marked by persons conVersant with the above
facts in this vicinity, literally snatched me
from the yawning grave. You are at liberty to
use this for the benefit of the afflicted
