THE ICE LEGIsLATIoN.-In regard to the
communication in Monday mornings PRESS
headed capital and Labor" the Kennebec
Journal says:
We are authorized to say that our representa-
tive who introduced the order inquiIingiu to the
expediency of some law to protect ice inponds
and rivers in this state, never had any con-
versaton with Mr.. Poo" in regard to the matter
or with any other person in the interest of the
SO called gentleman. 1t was found after in
vestigation by some of our best legal talent that
our statutes were wanting in that no provision
could be found guarding the great ice works
in this state. 1t was therefore deemed expedi
ent that some provision should be made not
only to protect the ice operator, but to guaran-
tee employment to laborsrs, for il the ice fields
are wilfully and maliciously destroyed not only
is the operator injured but all men employed
are thrown out of work. Is it not as necessary
in the interest of the honest workmen to have
this provision of law, as for the operator to
have it. The law asked for will be similar to
that in Massachusetts and other states.

1t is now an acknowledged fact that CoNsUMP-
TON CAN BE CURED. 1t haze been cured in very
great number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by Schenck's Pumonic Syrup alone,
and in others by the same medicine in connection
with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills,
one or both, according to the requirements of the
case
The old supposition that Consumption is incura-
Ele," for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find remedy for that disease, and
patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without effort being made to save them
from doom which was considered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to
be at 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 more than forty years. Thousands of people
have used DR.. Schencks preparations with the same
remarkable success.
Schenck's Almanac, containing thorough treatise
on Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, &C.,
can be had gratis of any druggist, or of j. H.
Schenek g. Son, Philadelphia. Full directions for
the use of Schenck's medicines accompany each
package.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Wood Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are for sale by all druggists.

Let spcrtsmen who have any Influence, di-

the passage of bill in the Legislature prohib-
iting the killing of wild ducks between Dec.
LIST, and Sept. 10Th. This will take away from
us the winter and spring fowl shooting at
coots, black ducks, old sqnaws, whistlers, sea
ducks, etc, We all know that ducks were
never plentier o. the coast than during the
