The STRIKE There seems to be nothing
new in regard to the strike of the engineers on
the Boston & Maine railroad. The road is do
ing well, and the engineers are quiet and still
maintain that they will win. The adjourned
citizens meeting in Wakefield, in relation TO
the Boston & Maine strike and the manage
ment of the road, was held in the town hall on
Saturday evening So great was the interest
manifested that 700 persons were psesent. Res
olutious were adopted protesting against the
imposition of a CT de of rules by the road, vex-
atious and odious in their operations and in
sulting to common sense; hoping for com
promise between the old engineers and the
road, and declaring that in the opinion of the
meeting, derived from actual observation, the
Boston & Maine railroad was not at present
managed in a manner to inspire the confidence
of its patrons as regards personal safety, the
statements of the officials to the contrary not
withstanding.
President White writes letter denying the
reports that the road is unsafe, the engines
burned or the new men incompetent.

CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NoTICE.-Eyery moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice Of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DIR. Schencks Pull
monte Syrup as a cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that be brought to support the pretensons of
any other medicine. See DIR. Schenck's Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incurabe by physi-
clans of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many as these evidences will
will show; but the is often promoted by the
ployment of two other remedies which Dr.. Schenck
provides for the purpose These additional remedies
are Sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use of these medicines, according to
directions DIR. Schenck certifes that most any case
of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal office,
Cor, Sixth and Arch Sts, Philadelphia every Mon
day, where ali letters for advice must be addressed
