that enough funds were procured for
this purpose.
We were very glad to see our friend

Mr. S. has had long and severe illness,
and his many friends will hear of his
convalescence with pleasure.
The correspondent of the Coaticook
Observer reports as witnessing, Domin-

get a punch in the jaw" from an
Island Pond chap, and judged it was
anything but agreeable.
Our readers will see by a perusal of
our advertising columns that a grand
basket picnic will be held in Warmers
Grove next Thursday July "a. The
Steamer "Magic," will carry passengers
at greatly reduced rates. Accept the
invitation SO cordially extended, and
enjoy yourselves.
The educators of our State are to
hold their twentyninth annual meeting
at the charming village of Woodstock
on the 9th, 9th and 18th of next month.
1t is safe to predict, we think, that
there will be large attendance of
members. Such meetings are certain
ly of much value to the educational
interests of the State.
The ladies of the NJ. E. Society
would take this opportunity of tender
ing their thanks to the members of the
Island Pond Brass Band for their cour-
tesy and sweet music rendered at the
strawberry festival recently held by
them and which tended to make the
occasion more enjoyable,

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable Observation-Disclosures Man

of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loatascme disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures. and the confidence

Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases ar publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The Grand Jury's Report.

BY order of the presiding Judge VIC
publish the full text Of this report in
to-day's issue, and we would call the
attention of the reading public to tho
contrast between this report and the
one made ly The same grand jury at
the last! term Of the court. There arc
live county officers filled by election
from the people: Clerk Of Court,
School Commissioner, Board OF
County Commissioners, Judge OF
Probate and Sheriff. OF these the
Two, Clerk and Sheriff, occupied by
The lingering Radicals, Mcssrs. Geo.
Boliver and j. IL. Livingston, arc
spoken OF lightly but in commcdatory
'tertns; those occupied by Democrats
and elected by the people, one, the
School Commissioner, is reported
fu;Tly kept, but his spelling is unnc-
ccssarilv ridiculcl; the County Com
lnissioncr's Office is presented rs be-
ing in state Of confusion, no min
utes kept, and the Commissioners
themselves, reported for neglect Of
duty in the matter OF roads and the
other, Judge OF Probate, is not so
much as mentioned by the Grand
Jury. Our county finances are in a
"drcadful condition. but the report
OF the Grai>, Ja!y fails to assign a
cause for this condition, which we
think could bc easily traced back to
the RADICAL rogucs who grew fat on
the peoples taxes before the Demo

last week 10y Mr.. OConnur in the
