VICKERY s. LEIGHToN's New SToRE.-The
light and capacious store in Harrington block
just opened by Vickery & Leighton, gives
them an opportunity to display to advantage a
full line of both dry and fancy goods. The
Nottingham lace curtains, of which specially
is made, give very attractive appearance to
the windows, and call attention to the broche,
camels hair and beautiful worsted shawls
which themselves form an excellent back
ground for goods of lighter character.
The interior arrangement strengthens the
good impression produced by the outside vieW !;
the broad aisles allow the store to be full with
out confusion. economy in space being Sc
cured by msking the row of shelves down the
centre open on to two counters, so that goods
may be taken from either side. The large
windows in the rear make the store sufficiently
light through its VIII ole length.
Of the fancy articles, the fans, ruches and
parasols in fine goods first attract attention; the
kid gloves in all colors at $3.50, and the full
line Of colored hose for gents, ladies', misses
and children, are excellent The assortment of
silk and worsted fringes, buttons, &C., is SO
good that one may purchase dress and all the
necessary trimmings. without leaving the store.
In outside garments, the greatest novelty is
the silk dolman, which remind us strongly OF
the "visites" of our grandmothers time, and
though the pointed dolmans are now most worr
the display of sacques, both silk and clsth,
emphasizes the statement that sacques are to
be the most stylish.
The ladies' underwear, all of excellent mate
rial. but varying. much as to amount of trim
ming, deserves to be noticed. Here, plain gar
ments can be obtained, as we'll as very elabor.
ate ones. Indeed, lady can find here almost
| anything in the way of clothing for herself OF
| children which she may desire.

DIR. scuENck's STANDARD REMEDIES.


The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SCHENcK's SEA
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and ftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. Fl. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, tine patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this, Schencks
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
ScIencks Mandrake Pills act the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulan
and alternatives the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonc Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonaly or by letter, do so his principal Office

Testing ,he saco River bridge.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. D. R. Kelley, SUI
perintendent of construction for the Phoenix
Bridge Company of Pennsylvania, in company
with the officials of the Rochester road and sew
eral invited guests, visited the Saco River
Bridge to test it previous to its final acceptance
The company was composed of President Geo.
T. Wescott, Vice President Frederick Robe,
Superintendent j. III. Lunt, Treasurer w. e..
Conant, Ticket Agent j. w. Peters of the
Rochester road, G. E. B. jackson of the Roll
ing Mills, Joseph Walker, Esq former d.
rector of the road, J. P. Gilman, Vice Presi-
dent of the Water Company; F. E. Boothby,
General Ticket Agent of the Maine Central
Fred Davis, of the firm of G. o. Davis & Co.
+. G. Jordan, Charles Staples, Charles Nc
Carthy, Geo. A. Harmon and others.
The party left the city on the $50 train and
returned by special. The first test applied
was that of putting two engines together and
running them across the bridge at the rate of %
miles an hour. This was to give lateral strain
and the result was very satisfactory, there be-
ing no pereeptible sway. AS the spans are in.
dependent of each other it was necessary to
test each separately. This was done by plac-
ing an engine and platform car loaded with
rails on the centre. The measurements were
made by Mr.. Fred Davis and the DETECTION of
each spanswas as follows: LIST, ZIG of an inch
I'd, SIG; Sd, SIG; 4th, 4-16 9Th. is; 9th, 4-16.
The weight on the bridge was about 20 tons.
This was considered very satisfactory test and
st the conclusion Superintendent Lunt said it
was as good bridge as he wanted and it was
accordingly accepted. A full description of the
bridge was published in the PRESS few weeks
since. Mr.. King, the photographer, was pres
ent and took several views of the bridge and its
surroundings.
