Al the end oft all Mr. WalEey rad his railroad comm

inent that paid nothing, and the Charter Oak Lie
charge against the OF 81 100 600 advanced for
the construction. For this sum the company took
81 100000 IN second mortgage bonds. They had now
two goOdsized elephants their hands in the shape OF
the building and the railroad To make the monagcrie
complete, they added the Fcnwick House at
saybrook, a hotel intended a Summer resort
and a feeder 10 hc railroad On this proprtythe hotel

but which amount to two three times The value Of
the whole establishment Neither tho road the hotel

and every Ncw-Yorx check and draf being

seems incredible hut have the word Of Colonel Geo p
committee TO examine the accounts for the trnth OF it,
does appear, however, from letter hooks and other
documents, that in December 1873, the treasurer, Mr.
White. sent 30 Alen, Stephens & Co. checks, ETC.,
amounting nomnally TO S19i0o0 50 that lie
could make oath to having 100000 cash IN
hand-the understanding being that the whole
amount should be returned In January which
was done. The checks Of all sorts, ana good for lit
tie or nothing. In the settlement with Allen, stephens
& Co. or rather in the statement made by that firm on
going into bankruptcy, they Acknowledged indebted,
OF 100000. OF ts indebtedness the books of the
company show record whatever. ard the only evi-

CoLD ~ ATER, Feb. 10, 1878.
Dr.. Editor-Not long since
I wrote a small communication
for the OBSERVER from Cold
Water. It seems it has raised
the ire of certain correspon-
dent at Blanche, and he comes
out in such a sweeping way as
to call for a notice. ] am at a
loss to know who Kennebec is,
but / suspect that be is in some
way connected TO the clerical
profession. IT SO, / will tell
him an anecdote of an old
Scotch clergyman. Going into
the pulpit to preach one day, he
astounled the congregation by
his habit of using the word,
he, SO that it often made things
look rather ludicrous. We'll,
brethren, you will find my
text in End Peter, 9th chapter
9Th verse. The Devil he is like a
roaring lion. And now, brethren,
says he, you can see that my
text naturally divides itself in
to four heads: My first viii be
TO inquire who the devil he Is,
End, where the devil he came
from; 3rl, what the devil he is
doing, and 4th, is TO answer the
question what tie devil he is
roaring about. Now, Mr.. Ken
nebec, what are you roaring a
bout-hunting another Star to
snuff /? May be you can find
one OH Cold Water. IF you do,
let into him, but be mighty care
full. You seem to think that
man between Jones and Pisgah
small fry; that may be So
he don't pretend to be anything
but what God and nature made
him, but this neighhorhood
seems to be satisfied. We hear
of no complaint, and if Kenne-
bee is not, | should think that
six miles would be ample room
for him to gamboI and luxuliate
in his own conceited greatness.
But be says he is done if the
hens don't peck him. Let me
say to him, Cold Water hens
don't stoop so low; that's con-
trary TO their nature-besides
all that, men generally get hem
pecled at home. Bullet me say
this, will not insure the geese.
They might nibble at him.
Speaking of the grocery ques-
ton, if Cold Water wanted or
didn't want a grocery, she woul3
never think of counseling nen-
nebec after his own miserable
failure. All quiet on the border,
Every body busy. Sloan u Son
selling goods as low as low car
be. Go and see if it amt so
So this ends the chapter.

Blow Your Own Horn!

For nobody else will blow for
YOU; besides, our lean, gaunt,
hungry looking editors have got
TO be supported, and some one
has got to be humbugged.
LUMPKIN wants to do his part
of it in the next sixty days.
If you don't believe it, call and
price his handmade boots,
clothing, shawls, jeans, hats,
blankets, oyer-shoes, at prices
lower than ever before offered
In this market. They have got
10 be sold, and at prices that
will humbug somebody; if its
Lumpkin alone. You will lose
a bargain if you don't come
soon. The goods will be sold
out to make room for a spring
stock. Don't forget that Lump
kin will sell you Furniture
cheaper than any one. Some
will say this is big blowing;
but you come to the blowing.
Lumpkin says it won't cost you
anything, and he writes this of
his own knowledge, too.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic
stomach Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. Ore of
the prominent symptoms of weak state
of the gastric organs is distur bance of
the great nerve enterpot, the brain. In
vigoratc the stomach, and you restore equi-
lbrium to the great centre. A most relia-
blemedicine fer the purpose is Hosteiter's
Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable TO
mineral sedativcs and powerful narcotics
which, though they may for a time exert a
soporific influence upon the brain, soon
cease to act, and invariably injure the tone
of the stomach. The Bitters, on the con-
trary, restore activity to the operations of
that all important organ, and their benefi-
cent influence is reflected in sound sleep
and a tranquil state Of the nervous system.
A wholesome impetus is likewise given to
the action Of the liver and bowels by It's
use.
