berries. A gentleman from Oldtown travelled
how much each one had gathered during the
day. He found the average to be ten quarts to
person, making 1880 quarts, or a little over
20 bushels, worth in the Bangor market 50. so
per bushel.
Respecting the lumber business the Bangor
wing says: "Lumbermen are not in receipt of
many orders, and had it not been for the deal
business-which has been their only salvation
they would have had severe pull for a liv.
ing business during this summer. There is at
present a scarcity of logs in the market, some
dealers holding them back for rise. This
will have tendency to make numbering oper-
ations in the woods this winter more active
than for some years past.

sailor from vessel in the port, and robbed of

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and are debilitated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two
or three times during the day. In little while
those who adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of "drnks," and in time become confirmed
inebriates. A beverage (which will not create
thirst for intoxicating liquors. and which is intended
especially for the benefit of debilitated persons,
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic. Containing the juices of many medic
na herbs this preparation does not create an appe-
tite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
ife-supporting properties Of many valuable natura
productions contained in 1t and well known to medi-
cal men have most strengthning influence. A single
bottle ofthe Tonic will demonstrate its valuable quail
ies For debility arising from sickness. over exer-
ton or from any cause whatever, winegassful of
Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen
the stomach and create an appetite for Wholesome
food. To all who are about leaving their homes we
desire to say that the excellent effects of Dr.
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuriously affected by
change of water and diet. No person should leave
home without taking supply Of these safeguards
