SUPPOSED TO BE DRowNED.-On
last Christmas Eve Mr.. Charles
Kepkey, aged about twenty years,
nysteriously disappeared, and has
not since been found. He was at
his mothers house, about five
miles from Covington. He went
ont in the early part Of the night,
and as he did not return, the fam
ny grew uneasy about him andwent
out to call him. Receiving no ans
''wer to their calls. they started to
1ssarch for him, thinking perhaps he
had lost his way in the woods, the
night being very dark. About two
Hundred yards from the house there
u o creek known as Wilson's
brsnch, which WAS very much
i-Swolleu by the recent rains, and on
Che bank they found his hat. It is
> supposed that he either fell into the
: creek Or attempted to swim across,
-Tiand ewing to the extreme cold
weather he must have become SO
Thoroughly chilled that he was un-
abls to make his way out He was
naturally demented, and we learn
: that be had been drinking little
during the day. After o diligent
! search during the night and next
day, they were unable to find him.
se4.His shoes were found, about
quarter of mile above the spot
whsre they found his hat. From
! the time he was missed, twelve days
! Ego, persons have been searching
9aIong the creek and through the
woods, but have been unable to
find him or learn anything further
in regard to his fate.

We call attention to car / of Mr..
F. A. Guyol. Now that our farm
ers are beginning to realize the ad :
vantage of having at least a few
good ''porkers" on the place. they
doubtless know that it is better
to have fine blooded stock, instead
of the common piney woods pigs,
which scarcely repay the time and
trouble it takes to raise them. Mr..
Guyol has the celebrated Berkshire
boar "Gen. Beauregard," which he
offers for service at moderate rates.
Also, some half Chester and i'm

YARIETY Haul


Thursday night or Friday morning the lnm-
ber-shed of Cummings, Lsavitt & Widber was
entered By a burglar through window, and
thence the fellow proceeded to the office below.
Mr.. Edward Burrows was asleep in the inner
Office, as has been customary with him for
some time past, and the noise made by the
man awoke him. Burrows demanded to know
what was wanted when the scouudrel instead
of RAINING, as was to have been expected,
made a rush for Burrows in tbs dark. As be
grasped Mr.. Burrows that gentleman had the
presence of mind to sezs loaded revolver
lying beside him, aud fred at his assailant but
his aim was necessarily uncsrtaiC, and the
scouDdrel, discovering Burrows was armed,
then fl-d pursued by that gentleman. Bur-
rows fired second shot, which failed to take
effect, and the burglar seizing a door, that
stood against the wall, flung it behind him.
The door struck Mr.. Burrows who was near,
and knocked him down inflicting severe cut
on his head, while other injuries were received
by his fall. When Mr.. Burrows fell the
burglar escaped. He is described as tall.
stout man with side whskers.

vices at the Park Street NJ. E Church. They
we're so much csptivated with the sermon OF
its young and clog lent pastor that, when they
departed for home the next morning, their
faces We're so suffnsed with smiles as to create
an ominous prophecy in the minds of the good
people of Park street that the happy relation
existing between them and their pastor might
terminate at the next Annual Conf .reuce"

..FanatIcism and Hypocrisy. .


Mr.. EDIToR:-I received day or two ago,
10 letter from person unknown to me, q
newspaper slp-which enclose-with the re-
quest that would reply to it, as it was having
a wide circulation, aud many persons IN
friendly to temperan ce were ready to believe it
to be true:
The Portland Leader accuses Neal Dow of renting
houses to rumsellers who use them for rum holes.
W.uld it not be better to burn up some of these
houses than TO hang the men that do business IN
them? Fanatcsm and hypocrisy are enormous
stumbling blocks in the way Of the temperance re-
form.
1 was aware that the Leader had said this,
but did not thinK it worth while to reply to it.
L. was merely an attempt to manufacture q
'hat" hypocrite, and the story could do no
harm here, where the Leader and l are known.
have only to say that the accusation is false
in every particular; 10 part aud 10 whole; and
there has never, at any time, been shadow
of fact on which the statement could be
founded. NEAL Dow.

THE HEALTH-LIFT is one of the greatest in
ventons of the age, and is second to none in
importance, as it is a direct appliance for the
culture and improvement of the human race.
1t is good for everybody, and should be used by
all 1t will accomplish thu following results:
1. 1t causes an equal circulation Of the blood
to all parts of the system. 2. 1t expands the
lungs and increases the volume of respiration.
3. 1t infuses more oxygen into the muscles, and
thus purifies the tissues Of the body. II
tones and builds up the whole system when
purified. 5. 1t will double the strength in a
few months. g. 1t steadies and regulates the
hearts action. Z 1t does all these by a prac
tice of only ten minutes once day. s. 1t will,
by the above principles, cure most of the ills TO
and resulting from derap cement of the circula-
tion.
