Rev. Daniel Austin of Kittery,


Mr.. EDToR:-The recent death Of this gen.
ial gentleman has not to nay knowledge, called
forth in the papers of the state any further no.
tice than the simple announcement Of his de-
cease and some public requests.
MIR. Austin was the son of Daniel Austin, a
merchant who came from Boston to Ports
mouth, N. Ell. The son graduated at Dart
mouth College in 1928, and after studying for
the ministry was settled over the Unitarian
Society in Brighton, Mass. While there he
married Miss Hannah Joy, member of the
wealthy Joy family of Boston Mr. Austin re-
signed his pastorate and purchased the fine es-
tate at Kittery Forside, formerly occupied by
Capt. Thomas Cults, to which he gave the
name of "Willow Rank" The view from the
piazza took in the navy yard, harbor, forts and
islands of the Pascataqua, and was very attrac
tive Near by was the house built for Lady
Popperell after the death of Sir William in
1859, and opposite was the house occupied by
their only daughter, Elizabeth Pepperell, who
married Nathaniel Sparhawk in 1912. The
whole region is historic grounds.
The Maine Historical Society, after two DAYS
| spent at York, in September, 1870, were taken
| to Kttery and passed most enjoyable day in
| looking over the old town-the first one incor-
| porated in Maine. While the society and their
| guests, making party of about %, were in his
neighborhood, they received an invitation from
MIR. Anstin to visit his house and partake of a
! collation., which was very timely and acceptable

Deering Matters.

The series of Sunday evening temperance
meetings at Morgan's Hall, MorrlPs Corner,
are we'll attended. Several prominent temper
ance orators have recently addressed these meet
ings with good effect. Last Sunday evening
Mr.. j. B. Fillebrown Of Portland, spoke on
the subject of protection of society against the
deadly rayages Of the rum demon. He opened
with few personal "reminiscences which ex-
planned the secret of his lifelong hostility to
rum. His remarks were alive with fact and
his earnest appeal for aid to resist the tide of
incompetence were very impressive. "Master"
Taylor followed in q brief but earnest defence
of the protective feature of the prohibitory
laws, and protest against rum, in all forms.
Next Sunday evening, Hon. George w. Wood
man will be the principal speaker, meeting to
commence at o'clock. There will be good
singing.
During the long winter vacation Of the Sem
mary, what better evening employment thar
the Tuesday and Saturday evening singing
schools at Morgan's Hall?

The table was splendidly set out, almost entire-
ly with silver ware of ancient pattern, bearing
family crests. The collation. was very elegant
and bountiful. We found the house filled with
works of art and articles of interest and beauty,
denoting wealth, refinement and good taste.
The furniture of one room was of the style Of
the time of Louis the fourteenth, deliberately
carved aud entirely covered with gliding.
Among the relics shown were two wooden PAN
nels, on which were painted landscapes. These
were part of the interior finish of the house Of
Gov. Hutchinson of Boston, which was sacked
by the mob in 1865. Mr.. Austin's house
abounded in interesting relics Of historical
value, with which be took pleasure in enter
tanning his visitors. Probably no house in
Maine contained SO much of value to the his
torical and art student.
On leaving, the thanks of the visiting party
were presented by President Woods of Bruins
wick, to which Mr. Austin replied in fitting re-
marks, appearing to be a ready and eloquent
speaker. Mr.. Austin was much valued citi-
zen of his town for his interest in its schools.
The character of the man was shown by his
habit of attending church in all weather, riding
mile and more, recognizing his duty to be in
his pew during the hour of worship, although a
growing deafness prevented him from hearing
the officiating minister. He died on the 4th
inst.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.-A good audience
gathered at the West ChapelISunday evening
to listen to addresses on temperance. Hon, G.
w. Woodman presented the subject as viewed
by business men. He warned young men who
wished to obtain situations in any business
house to be sure and put themselves right on
this question. He cited instances illustrating
how greatly the views of business men on this
subject had changed within the past few years,
lie showed how unpopular intemperance was
becoming, what progress had been made in
public sentiment in this respect. All classes of
society were experiencing q new light on this
subject. He was followed by Albion Little,
Esq, who corroborated his statements and urged
the propriety of improving the closing hours of
the year 1877 in coming to a right decision on
the subject,

Es Ia now an acknowledged fact that CONsUMP-
TON CAN BE CURED. 1t hae been cured in a very
great number OF cases (some of them apparently
desperate enes) by Sehenck's Pulmonc Syrup alone,
and in others by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic:and Mandrake Pills,
one or both, accordingIto the requirements of the
case.
The old supposition that Consumption is ncura-
ble," for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find remedy for that disease, and
patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
from doom which was considered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to
be the very gate of death, his Physicians having
pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to
his fate: he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterwards enjoyed uninterrupted good health
for moIe than forty years. Thousands of people
have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same
remarkable success.

On Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, &C.,
