SoHENoK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedy celebra-
ted and popular medicines have effected revolution
in the healing art and proved the fallacy OF several
maxms which have for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The false supposition
that Consumption is incurabe' deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without making an effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured I'M very great

other cases by the same medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one

DR. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
goodhealth for than forty years, was supposed
at time 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

Miss MARsH's BENEFrT.-A very large
house, made up of the best people In the city,
greeted Miss Fannie Marsh at her theatre Sat.
arday evening on the occasion of the testmo-
NAL benefit rendered her by citizens of Port
land. She was very cordially welcomed every
time she made her appearance on the STAGE
The only change made in the weeks bill was
the addition of the balcony scene from Romeo
and Juliet" This was given between the
comedietta and the spectacle. Miss Marsh,
who was supported by Mr.. Whicher as 'sRo-
meo," made a charming Juliet acting with
much grace and tenderness. At the close of
the scene she was enthusiastically called before
the curtain, and there presented with two bas-
kets of beautiful flowers, and an elegant set of
Shakespeare. Miss Marsh responded in neat
and brief speech of thanks, closing with
promise of good things in the future.
The benefit was an evidence of the admira-
tion felt by our people for Miss Marsh's energy
and pluck and their intention to support her in
her endeavors to have established good thea
tire here. The Theatre will be reopened as
soon as the repairs are completed, and the new
company organized.

How A THIEF CAME TO GRIEF.-Saturday
morning one of our uptown merchants on
looking over his money in the drawer, for the
purpose of cashing check, discovered that
quite large sum of money had been taken
from it. He communicated this fact to several
friends who advised that the matter be put into
the hands of Matt Adams. The Captain was
accordingly sent for, and after getting what lit
tie information the merchant was able to fur
nish, started on the war path, and in less than
an hour to the great satisfaction of all the par
ties, Except the guilty oue,) returned all but
two dollars of the money. The way of the
transgressor is likely to be hard if this consta
BILE gets after after him.

citizen; but her relatives persuaded her to have
nothing to do with him, and he left for the West
alone. Went to Washington, d. c., where he worked
month or two carrying the mails to and from the
depot. Got into bad company, and SO came East
from one place to another some places committing
small thefts and finally hired horse and carriage
which he drove to Nashua, N. H., but was unable to
sell 1t, and lett it. He hired another which he drove
to Lewiston.
Marvin's account of this transaction for which he
is indicted is this:
