did not give his vote to acting Vice

In the meantime he deposited the pack
age containing the vote Of The Cronin

the vote was caused by the necessity
felt by Cronin to go to New York and

the murder of John E. Daley, Hanks was

THE OLDTowN GOLD MINE PUT UP JOB
A correspondent of the Bangor Wing let's the
cat out of the bag in regard to the discovery Of
gold at Oldtewn. 1t seems the town authors
ties having contracted with one Of the citizens
to build q town cistern for fire department pur-
poses on the island occupied by large plumber
of French families, it occurred to one of the
wags in town to have little fun and to see
how much of a stirring up he could give the in
habitants on the island. Accordingly he got a
few pieces of real gold-bearing quartz from q
returned Californian, and taking the builder of
the cistern into his confidence, proceeded to
deposit them during the night into one of the
seams made by blasting in the ledge where the
cistern was to be located, several feet below the
surface of the soil. The next day he was care
lessly upon the spot in good season in the morn
ing and the two made wonderful discovery,
no less than the finding of real gold! A few
bits were taken into the shop of one of the
jewellers, and the workman on melting it pro-
nounced it the real article and no mistake. The
news spread like wildfre, and as other small
pieces we're found during the day the price of
real estate began to 60 up rapidly long before
sunset A third man eager to help on the fun
was very earnest in Offering $4,000 for small
building lot near at hand, but the owner would
not sell it short of ten thousand. So far all
went well. Then piece was sent to Bangor
and found to be just as represen ted, and the
correspondent of the Commercial, not let into
the secret, however, had glowing account of
the discovery in the columns of that paper

sort to artificial means. For this purpose Schencks
Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will

Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed Tor that purpose. The
Weed Tonic in its nature is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acids in fact it assists the regular operations of
nature, and supplies her deficiencies The tonic in
its nature so much resembles the gastric juice
that it is almost identical with that fluid, The
gastric JUICE is the natural solvent which, in healthy

OLD ORCHARD CAmP.mEETING
sixth, Day.

There seems to be great diversity of opinion
as to the success of the present meeting at Old
Orchard, many declaring it is failure, while
another class considers it the best meeting that
has ever been held there. If the success of the
religious meeting depends on great crowds, de-
monstrative enthusiasm, noisy and vehement
/ pray ers and exhortation, it is certainly mis-
cradle failure. On the other hand, if the
absence of the struggling crowd usually wan
; ceriDg about the encampment. or noisy chat
ting in the back seats, the feeling of deep piety
, and intense interest manifested by the seeak-
ers, the Sabbath-like quetude that pervades
the camp-ground are to lie considered indica-
tions of a meeting of worship, this certainly
more resembles such gathering than a holiday
pleasure excursion. Dr. Cults is to be con-
graduated on the conspicuous absence of the
crowd of 'camp-followers'' whose presence and
conduct have more than any cause degraded
and brought into disrepute the meetings at Old
Orchard This meeting Ike those of the Evan
gelists, exhibits another sample of the fact
that great good may be accomplished with lit
tie stir.
The morning prayer meetings were held as
usual yesterday and were attended by goodly
numbers, many taking part in the interesting
exercises. The feature of written requests for
prayer calls out many such, which are made at
the o'clock meeting.
Rev. Mr. Earle preached the morning SER
mon, selecting as his text the last eleven verses
of the seventh chapter of Romans. The SER
mon.was one preached by Mr.. Earle at Franz
ingham last week, and was repeated by request
1t was fine discourse and an admirable spec-
men of Mr.. Earle's practical common sense
preaching. 1t is impossible to kear him with
out feeling how intensely he is interested In the
great work of human salvation.
The afternoon prayer meeting at the stand
was characterized by the same heartfelt devo-
tional spirit noticed in all the social meetings.
The subject of Mrs. Smiths Bible reading was
REST" and her sensible remarks commenting
Cd, and illustrating the numerous selections
had were eagerly listened TO by one of the
largest congregations of the meeting, many of
whom followed her frequent references to the
scriptures. The service was closed with appro-
pirate prayer by DR.. See, and singing.
The prayer meetings of the early evening
were held as usual. and at their conclusion

vigor and eloquence from Ex %, s.

sells, and also from stores on shore. He had a
schooner of seven tons, with which he has COM
mitted most of his depredations, formerly call
ed the Elenora. This vessel he has disguised
and repainted and renamed the Emma. Four
weeks ago he stole quantity of rigging here,

for him, In some of his expeditions he was
