A FANATIc.-As the fternoon train over the
Ogdensburg was preparing to go out yesterday
an ordinary looking man entered the depot and
commenced shouting in a most frantic manner,
urging people to attend the camp-meeting at
Fryeburg and have their souls saved. He at
last entered one of the cars and took a seat but
soon arose and Stated on rush through the
train crying, "Come to Jesus" Get on board
the gospel train" and similar expressions On
reaching the baggage car he was stopped and
taken back to his seat where he remained quiet
until the train left. His actions created the
widest excitement among the passengers, the
ladies screaming at the top eff their voices The
same man made similar demonstrations at Ole
Orchard last week, and it is evident that he il

Carroll and his denunciations of Presi-
dent Hayes on this question of title to
Office What should an ordinary sin
ner think of the sanctimonious party ="
communicant, who has strength of stom-
ach to comfortably keep down the dose
of Carroll's palpable fraud, and yet pro-
fess to own apalate too delicate to swal-
low the Presidential pill? Or what of
the political ostrich, whose digestive
faculties had always been equal to leg
islative pocket-knives or congressional
ink-stands, now grown so weak stom-
ached on daintier fare? We commend
to the imitation of these delicate Bour-
bons the wholesome example of the
Democratic nominee for Governor of
Maine, and when the pain comes on to
apply the remedy that his common
sense suggests. The Democratic plat
form adopted by the convention that
nominated him, declared that "the re-
"versal of the verdict of the American
people, as manifested at the ballot
box in November last, electing Samuel
"J. Tilden President of the United
Estates, was the most monstrous politi-
zeal fraud recorded in history" What
a text on which to raise the windy wall
that wearies the world. "His Fraudu-
lency! His Frauduency" But no such
thing does the Maine nominee He
teaches his party wholesome lesson of
moderation and wisdom, lost though it
be upon men as obdurate and perverse
as the average Bourbon editor.
"In considering the second resolution
you have presented to me, | no where find
in it any impeachment of the Presidents
title to the high office which he occupies,
and have no difficulty in according to it
my full concurrence. That title, though
stoutly contested, was recognized and be.
came valid by the decision of tribunal
which acted under the authority of law
to which all parties and all the States,
through their Senators and Representatives
in Congress, had given their deliberate as
sent. The frauds charged by that resolu-
tion referred, as | understand the language
used, to transactions which took place in
the discharge of the functions of the Re.
turning Boards of Louisiana and other
States-illegal and fraudulent acts within
the competency of those States respectively
to deal with, but which, in the view taken
by the Electoral Commission, might have
occurred as illegal and yet be beyond the
range of their jurisdiction to .iudcially de-
termine"'
Mr.. Williams is evidently an excep-
tional Bourbon. AS Mrs. Malaprops
says, comparisons are "oderous :" but
Peter Finders description of that large
class of political rapscaIIions, who con-
stantly echo in the Presidents ear the
stale cry Of ' Fraud" is as striking as
it is truthful. He finds in the impu-
dent goose the Kissing prototype of the
class:
"Who starts from among his flock, an ILL
bred thrOng,
W auuluS Will poheu Out neck anu voice
so coarse,
AS if to swallow up the traveller of course.
With rumpled feathers to the man he steals,
And like coward snaps him by the heels.
Then to his gang, with outstretched pin
ions hobbling,
The fool erect returns, "Te Deum," COB
bling,
And from each brothers greeting gullet
draws
The mingled triumph of a coarse applause"

A TINE IIoNORED SPECIFIC.-The long
and successful career of DR.. WIsHARTs
PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums de-
void of efficacy VIII ich have from time to
time been puifed into a brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-
brated medicine has been sold, affords
proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving arti-
cles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip
liberia, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, and all
other diseases of the breathing organs, 1t
is, moreover, certain, speedy, aud safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis
orders, Urinary Troubles, Scrofulous Aztec
tions, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipa
ton, and Female Complaints. Constantly
accumulating evidence of an unmpeacha-
BILE character establishes the fact that it
not only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that it's action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by
