Hasnital Sunday

Tomorrow, the fourth Sunday in Ju ne, is
the day set apart throughout the State for con-
tributions to the Maine General Hospital. 1t
is hoped that all the parishes of Maine will
respond with their gifts; and that every in
dividual and church will understand how
welcome are even the smallest sums of money
toward the support of this institution. No
man need feel difideat in giving his twenty
five cents; no child should doubt that hi q
penny will do its pennyworth of good.
1t is eminently desirable that the people of
every section of the State should feel and
testify their interest in this Hospital, of which
the benefits are for all; and that every parish
should make contribution toward its support,
large or sma H. according to the givers' means.
In case the Sunday designated be impractical
BILE for any parishes, the contributions, it is
suggested, can be taken on any subsequent
Sunday that may be most convenient

STATE NEWS.


ANDROsCOGGIN COUNTY.
Every week now substracts a little from the
footing of the Auburn shoe shipments, and the
total is bat no cases this week. The manu-
facturers of pegged goods are very late about
shipping. Hundred of cases of heavy
shoes are stacked up in their factories. The
manufacturers of sewed goods are not doing
much on summer work and have not started
on fall work. Base ball shoes, slippers and
cheap goods constitute the large part of the
Auburn shoe shipments now. Last year the
shipments continued to fall off until the middle
of July.
On Monday, in discharge of lightning that
struck Mr.. James stable in Lewiston, Mrs.
James, who was in her wash room, felt the
shock distinctly. The next day Mr.. James
took up his whip, that was standing about two
feet from where Mrs. James was at the time of
the shock, and found that the lightning had
passed through the metallic handle of his whip
and bursting out from the same shattered the
covering and ran the whole length of the
handle, burning out the silk threads, land leav-
ing the rest unframed. Mrs. James was un-
conscious of the narrow ESCAPE till the whip
was found.

Accidental Poisoning.

Thursday morning Mrs. Gibbs of Sprin gvale
came to this city shopping, and to have dress
fitted. She did not feel very we'll, and while
at the Misses Hyde's, her dressmakers, in Flu
emit Block, she decided to get some extract of
rhubarb. She went to an apothecary's accom-
panied by her daughter, and procured, as she
supposed, the rhubarb, and returned to the
Misses Hyde's, where she took some of it with
out tearing off the paper in which the bottle
was enveloped Feeling worse, rather tn an
better, she LAY down for little while, and
then finding her sensations curious, she had
the paper removed from around the bottle.
The bottle bore the label "Poison; lauda-
num-" DR.. Foster was Immediately sent for,
and the Hyde ladies administered mustard
water and other antidotes Mrs. Gibbs was
quite sick for several hours, but at night
thought she had better try and get home to
Springvale; and DR.. Foster said she would
probably recover unless some more dangerous
symptoms should develop. The apothecary
we understand, says the lady asked for lauda-
mum. 1t seems queer she should not have de-
tected the difference between laudanum and
rhubarb at the first taste.

cordially renew the invitation to all who, amid
the .crowding events of the present, would
like to take reverenr look into the magic
mirror of the distant past where the forms of
those who have long since passed from earthly
vision seem again to fill their accustomed
spheres, and those who were acquainted with
sons and daughters of the house can almost
hear the rustic of their garments and would
hardly be surprised on turning to meeting the

A short time ago Capt. ingalls,, of the Chal.

sea serpent floating around short distance
from this port, and few days after strange
fish was announced as floating ashore at Sc
gum. An old whaler says the fish taken for
the sea serpent was, probably, what is known
as the homeless shark. The homeless shark is
fifty to seventy feet in length, having taper
ing tail. bullying head and body, with two large
fins, body of soft, elastic substance, which
the captain has pierced with lance every two
feet of every part, and found no bones Its
speed is about four to five miles per heur. It
sucks its food and is entirely harmless, and
may be approached with safety. 1t has liver
which makes large quantity of OIL but is
otherwise useless. 1t is sometimes called a
ground shark
