IT Is ASTONISHING with what rapidity ulcer
Gus sores and eruptiye maladies are cured By
HENRY's CARBoLIC SALyE, an external anti
dote to unhealthy conditions of the skin which
is preferred by physicians to every other pre-
paration containing the carbolic element. 1t
is undoubtedly the finest antiseptic and puri-
fer extant. 1t acts like charm on purulen'
eruptions and has also been successfully used
for rheumatism and sore throat. All Druggists
sell it.
Oxygenated Bitters cure Dyspepsia.

wealthy firm of ST. John, N. B., forward to
him large quantities of the waste from deals,
which are taken to Littlefeld s. Wilson's,
manufactured into heading and exported to

portion of the mill has been engaged with
steam power, and at present a crew of four

Supreme Judicial Court.
The following decisions and rescrpts have beer
received in cases before the law court:
State VS.. Sally Morrisey.
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
State vs. Sally Morrisey
Rescript by Peters, j. Where the statutory form
is used for an Indictment of murder, and there is
added thereto the allegation that the accused com
mtted assault upon the deceased, the particular
means by which the assault was committed need not
be set forth, although in such course the govern
ment would be bound to prove that the murder was
committed by force of some kind State VS.. perrllI
reaffirmed. In an Indictment for 1ntantlclde al
though convenient and advisable when it can be
safely DONE it is not Indispensable that the sex OF
the murdered child be stated though its ma Q
be unknown or it has no name.
Demurrer overruled.
L. j. Jones vs. F. w. Clark.
Rescript by Peters, j. The defendant contended
that if the plaintiff sold him merchandise belong
ing to another and disclosed the fact that in making
the sale bargain to SELL he acting as an agent
of others, he cannot recover. The Judge said the
close his agency, and acted in his name, that
he could recover; and added, enough t. make the
proposition of law understood by the jury. 1t was
oral sale and the case shows that the principal
was dormant principal and unknown. The plain
tiff was the only known and ostensible principal,
and the real contracting party The verdict Is not
within the reach of the motion for a new trial. The
plaintiff swears clearly and positively. The de-
PENDANT made some admissions which very much
weakened his general denial of the plaintiffs claim.
The case was doubtful and uncertain one The
defendant admitted an inch, and, as was natural
enough the jury allowed the plalntin to take an L.
Motion and exceptions overruled.
John c. Schwartz VS.. David d. Drinkwater.
Rescript by Peters, j. Whether an insolvent shall
not have stay of proceedings in an action against
him until his petition in insolvency may be disposed
of is matter of discretion with the judge before
whom the action is pending, whose ruling is not re-
viewable by this Court The insolyent law OF this
State enacted III 1873, so far as it provides for
discharge of the debtors liabilities existing before
the law passed and not proved against the
debtors estate is unconstitutional aid void.
Exceptions overruled.

MORE GLOBE LIES.
Reply of the Republicans Of Lisbon to the
Commissioners" Charges.

The following letter and af1idavits in reply
to certain charges contained In the Boston
Globe appear in the Lewiston Journal:
LISBON, Dec. 8.
To the Editors of the LeeoiSton Journal:
Permit u.s. citizens of lisbon, to answer
through YOUR columns, certain false and malic
ious charges made against the Republican par
ty of Lisbon, and particularly certain members
thereof, published in the Boston Globe under
date of December Sd, relative to the recent
election at Lisbon, by parties, claiming to be
law-abiding citizens" The crowd OF voters III
front of the platform and surrounding the bal
lot-box differed in no respect in numbers from
ordinary town meetings held in the anne hall
for years past except as to the enthusiasm con-
corning which no word has ever been said or
fault found, nor would there be now, were 1t
not that the leaders of the Combination par
ty desire to add something to the false charges
already published by the "Globe Commission
err in support of the great steal.
1t is true that there was large crowd at the
polling place, composed of voters from the
great Republican party and the two lesser
lights 1t is also true that the members OF
the Republican party were Jealous at this par
ticular election as on every other similar occa-
sion, which is plainly visible by the returns,
land this appears to trouble the Combination
mosO but that there was any disorderly con
duct on the part of any Republicans the result
of "preconcerted action by the sanction OF
the party or that any voter whomsoever was
interfered with or ia npered with by any Re-
publican in the exercise of the right of free
suffrage or that the Selectmen of Lisbon. in
dvidually and in their official capacity, did not
use every fair and honorable means in giving
to every voter an opportunity to vote, and as he
wished, or that there was any attempt on the
part of any Republican to in any way ''intimi-
date voters, we do publicly and emphatically
deny and we challenge them to produce sin
gle instance to the contrary. Those who were
mentioned in the Globe as foremost in endors-
ing the "dshonorable conduct viz, F. w.
Dana, ESQ.,, O. R. Small, B. F. Farrcr and A.
d. Sawyer were chosen as a challenging COM
mittee by the Republican party, and were fur
nished seats upon the platform with the select
men as was also like committee chosen from
thn nnnnsite party.

STATEMENT OF sELECTMEN.
Whereas, it having been made to appear by
the affidavit of one James Donovan. published
in the Boston Globe under date of Dec 3, 1879,
that the name of one Abner Jordan who voted
at the September election in said town, could
not be found upon the check list used at said
election, and he, having since stated that he
had no doubt that the name Of the said Jor-
dan was now there, thereby attempting to i'm
plicate a member of the board of selectmen
who acknowledges the name of the said Jor-
dan to be in his own handwrightng, in an un-
lawful transaction, we publish the following
affidavit of the town clerk OF Lisbon:
I. Aaron Nutting town clerk of Lisbon, County of
Androscoggin State of Maine depose and say: That
the name Of Abner Jordan is now on the paper used
as check list at the state election Sept. 8, 1879
in the of Lisbon; that the aforesaid check list
has been in my possession as town clerk ever since
its delivery to me by the municipal officers OF LIS
bon and that the aforesaid check list has never
been of the town clerks Office since It's delivery
to me; and further depose and say that no person
has examined said list except in my presence, and
that no change alteration could have been made
bv any one without my knowledge; and / further
depose and say that the aforesaid check list is in the
same condition as when delivered to me by the
municipal ouceiS ~ i1iouon.
AARON NUTTING, Town Clerk of Lisbon.
Lisbon Falls, Dec 8, 1879.
Personally appeared the above named Aaron
Nutting town clerk of Lisbon, and made oath that
the above statement subscribed by him is true.
ALBERT c. NEAL, Justice of the Peace.
We the undersigned, municipal officers of Lisbon
declare and say that no person was allowed to vote
after being challenged by either party until sasfac
tory evidence introduced to the said officers that
the challenged party had a right to VOTE the con
trary having been made to appear by the affidavit OF
James Donavan, published in the Boston Globe UNI
der date of Dec. 3, 1879.
The statement that mo attempt" was made or
the part of the selectmen to control or check any
disordery conduct confusion among the voters in
front of the platform, is false.

SUNDAY Excursions.

If any respectable resident of New York
is wondering to-day whether or no to go on
an excursion we would suggest to him
that the excursion season is near it's end,
and if quiet sail into purer air benefits
him. as it is supposed to do for every one
not hopelessly invalided, he had better i'm
prove the few opportunities which remain
to him before Jack Frost shall change the
order of physical diversions. We are aware
that our advice does not agree with that
offered by an earnest clergyman who
breaches somewhere in Brooklyn; but this
has nothing to do with the general subject.
Even to the ultra religious, who adhere to
the strict letter of the Mosaic law, the COM
mand to rest is as great as that to keep
the day holy; to the Christian the founder
of Christianity says that the Sabbath
was made tor man and not man for the
Sabbath, so, Brooklyn preaching to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, a New Yorker is
justified in taking himself and his family
away from airless houses and dirty streets
once u week and giving them taste Of the
atmosphere which was prepared by kind
Providence for oil Of us, though stupid and
rascally officials have sadly thwarted Heav-
ems plans. AS for the devotional spirit, con-
ventionally held to be the duty of the day.
if it is not stimulated as much by Heavens
handiwork as it is by stupid afternoon maps
and bad tempered discussions of the repu-
tations of ones neighbors, the would-be
devotee may be sure that he and not the
Sunday excursionist deserves scathing
rebuke from the pulpit.

The Zulu war.

Part of the force OF British troops in South
Africa which Sir Garnet Wolseley had
started on it's homeward journey has been
suddenly ordered in the other direction to
face Il dangerous movement toward Zlobane
of Zulus who it is reported have not yet
taken any part in the war and are now in
active cooperation with Cetywayo. An
other untoward fact appears in the report
that Secocoeni, a warlike chief of the Trans
vaal country, whom it was hoped to pro-
pitiate and separate from his relations with
Cetywayo, is not amenabe to the voice of
the charmer and must be dealt with in the
usual warlike way. AS Zululand gets walked
up more and more fully to the true state
Of the case between Cetywayo and John
Bull we shall hear moro news just like this.
The Zulus know what British domination
in their country means. They are reasona-
bly, familiar with the history of all their
neighbors in this particular and do not care
to have that history repeated at their ex-
pense; and so far from a British success
over Cetywayo causing the Zulus generally
to come in and submit to the English it is
likely to rally support to Cetywayo, because
in the man who is the only hope Of inde-
pondence they will all see their own
cause. British journals aud public men
are excited over the tactics adopted
in South Africa of permitting the dusky
allies OF England TO murder wounded
Iulus, and other trihes of that sort We
hope they do not im>gne that this is an
evidence of the decndence of Enuland If
thoy refer to her history of hundred
years since they will find that she subsi-
dized the American savage to massacre men
