DIR. scHENck'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, iftaken before the lungs destroyed, speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. 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
tion 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 Pumonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Sclencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
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 Pulmonic 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 DIR. Schenck, either per-
sonay or by letter, can do his principal office,
corner Of SIXTH and ARCH SITS Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. maleod&w2msn

SOMERSET COUNTY.


The conference held at the Universalist
church in Fairfield last week, was one of the
most interesting religious meetings ever held in
this part of the state. A deep religious inter-
est seemed to pervade all meetings. The atten-
dance was large and the univeral desire seemed
to be to learn more of the questions of right
and duty to God and man. The reform club
celebrated its first anniversary at Andrews
Hall, Sunday, the 18th. All religions meetings
were postponed and the entire day given to the
considering of the questions of temperance re-
form. A special train from West Waterville
and Waterville brought large number OF
active, interested workers, while the clubs from
Benton, Clinton and other places were well rep
resenurd The meetings throughout the day,
and evening were full of interest. The hall
was completely filed, many being unable TO
get within sound of the speakers voices. A
large number signed the iron-clad pledge, max
ing the closing session one of deep thankfulness
for what had been acc mplshed.
The Fairfield steam mill and furniture manu-
factory has been sold to Messrs. Smith, Hayden
and Robinson and will be converted into
mill for the manufacture of building materials,
house-frames, etc.

FANNY MARsH's THEATRE.-The dramatiza-
ton by Mr.. George hurry of Wilkie Collins
exciting novel, 'New Magdalen," was brought
out at the theatre last evening in fine style, and
there was an excellent audience in attendance.
The play follows the the text of the novel very
closely, and all the leading points of the novel
are admirably presented. We congratulate Mr..
Murray on his success. Most of our readers
have, undoubtedly, read the book, and so it is
unnecessary to particularize.
The part of Mercy Merrick was finely taken
by Miss Marsh, evincing rare dramatic power,
especially at the close of the third act, where,
incensed at Grace Rosenburgs taunts, she
Mercy changes from her intention to confess
her error, and turns with intense anger upon
her, and defies her. Miss Marsh here showed
her abilities to great advantage. This rem
dition of Miss Marsh's is one of the most
successful of her many representations in this
city. The emotional character of the part of
Mercy Merrick is especially adapted to Miss
Marsh's abilities. She was greered throughout
the entire play with most enthusiastic applause
MIR. Gossin made a most excellent Julian
Gray, and acted with rare taste and dignity,
and was warmly applauded.
Mr.. Armstrong, as Horace Holcomb, made a
fair lover.
Miss Kate Byron, as Grace Rosenberg, and
Miss Lizzie Hardy, as Lady Jadet, were very
acceptable, making most favorable impressions
Mr.. John Woodeson, as the old servant Wat
kins, was capital, making another one of his
hits. He is most deserving and rising actor
The other parts were we'll taken.
The scenery, by Dave Richard, is very fine.
especially the new set, the Marbletrope House.
1t is one of the most brilliant yet given in the
theatre, and was loudly appauded.
The music, by Grimmer, is some of his best
This interesting play cannot fail to draw
crowded houses, as it deserves; and the lovers
and patrons of the drama can see in "New
Magdalen' one of the most attractive plays
presented in Portland for many season.
Miss Marsh was presented at the close of the
second act, with beautiful floral cross.

The MYSTERY AT NoRwAy.-Our readers
will remember that last Tuesday morning Geo.
d. richardson of Norway, was found in an
insensible and dying condition under the stairs
OF Neven's piano key factory. He was consid-
erably bruised, and died shortly after being
found. An inquest was held, but no verdict
was rendered, as some suspicion of foul play
was indicated, and the stomach was forwarded
to State Assayor f L. Bartlett for analysis.
After careful examination Mr., Bartlett dis
covered large quantity of laudanum in the
stomach.
