TO ALL, particularly invalids, spring is tryin

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications of sickness shond at once be at
tended to. Fatal Diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated and the sys-
tenn to remain in disordered condition, until the
disorder has time to develop ITSELF An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure is an old and truth
full saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troub-
led with the complaints now very prevalent-head-
ache, indigestion, disordered liver want of appetite
Schencks Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy
SO harmless and decisive in its action. 1t at once
strikes at the root of the disease and produces a
healthy tone to the system. People never need suf-
fer from any disease arising from dsordered con-
dion 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 eff
feet. They will relieve 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.

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF MAINE
Grand Army of the Republic, Ass'tAdj't
Generals Office, Augusta, May 10, II. }
General Order No. 2.
I. Memorial Dayawith its hallowed memories,
its solemn and impressive ceremonies, it's
"reminiscences OF the stirring events which
gave it birth, is once more claiming our willing
service. Inspired with deep feeling of
Fraternity for all our Comrades, the living as
we'll as the maItyred dead; of Charity towards
all men, even the gallant foe who lately met
us in the stern shock of battle, and of Loyalty
carried through the storm and tempest of war
to the final victory which gave US Union
redeemed and purified, let US once more
discharge with loving kindness the sacred
duties of the occasion. helping thus to keep
alive the memory of the men who died that the
Republic might live; helping to perpetrate
their virtues and to make immortal the grand
principles for which they cheerfully gave the
last full measure of heroic devotion. The
Department Commander trusts that Posts and
Comrades throughout this Department will by
their full attendance and participation testify
to their unfailing interest in the beautiful
services of.the day, exemplify their undying
affection fo- Comrades gone before, and prove
to the world that the motto Of our order,
Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty is not an
empty and unmeaniLg phrase but deep living
conviction of their hearts and lives.
III. In making arrangements for its obser-
vance, 1t Is hoped Posts will invite the CO.
operation of Comrades not members of the
Grand Army, the local authorities, the clergy,
and oil who may feel an interest 10 these
memorial services.
Ill. Where no Posts of the Grand Army are
established, citizens are invited to arrange for
the proper observance of the day, that the
graves OF each and every soldier and sailor who
sleeps among US may not pass without due
recognition.
w. Arrangements have now been perfected
SO that new Badges, of genuine metal, made of
captured cannon, may be had on making
requistion for the same at these Headauartefs
Posts in want of Badges for Decoration Day
should order at once. Money in all cases
should accompany the requistion. No Badges
will be furnished except to the proper officers
of Posts.
V. 1t is gratifying to the Department Com
mander TO be able to announce to the Comrades
large increase in members during the first
quarter, and he sincerely hopes that deeper
interest may be awakened among many of the
POSTS and their membership largely increased.
Special mention, and the thanks of The
Department, are due TO the Officers and Com
rades of b. ii. Beal No. II, of Bangor, for the
labors during the past quarter, which resulted
SO remuDeTatively to the Post, making al
addition to their number of forty,-tbirtg-si
by muster-in.

which had tor a long time had the case
of the Ashtabula bridge under con-
sideratiop, rendered their verdict in
which they charge the responsibility
of the terrible calamity of tie Goth of
December last upon the Lake Shore
Railroad Company. They find that
the bridge was defective in design,
been used eleven years without being
carefully inspected by competent en-
gineer that the company Violated a
statute OF the State of Ohio which re-
quires railroad companies TO provide
their cars with a heating apparatus so
constructed that in case car over
turns the fire in the stove will be in
stantlv extingu'shed. The fault OF not
putting out the fire at the time it made
its first appearance in the wreck is
chargedFupOn those who were fret to
arrive at the scene of the disaster, and
who seemed to have been SO over
wheimed by the fearful calamity that
they lost all presence of mind and
waited to use the means at hand, con-
sisting of the steam pump in the
pumping house, and the fire engine

GREAT SToRM.-The great snow

depth of about ten inches, making
about as good sleighing as we have
had at any time during the past won

suns rays, though uninterrupted by
clouds made but little impression up
on the heavy coating OF snow except
