! brass body, washed with silver.
1t is rumored that the Grand Trunk
are negotiating for the purchase of the
st. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway.
The probabilities" posted up at the
depot every morning have been re.
markedly accurate, and are beginning
to attract considerable attention.
TRAFFIC RECEIPTS. The traffic re-
ceipts of the Grand Trunk Railway for
the week ending 10th July shows an
increase of SAG, 1879 upon the figures for
the corresponding week of last year.
We are credibly informed that Nor
ton Mills was visited last week by
regular hurricane, and that the large
barn of Mr.. Stetson was blown down.
The severe rain storm has seldom been
equalled in that vicinity and will not
soon be forgotten.
Posters are out announcing a moon
light excursion on Lake Memphrema-
cog, and grand ball at Bay View
Park on Friday, July %. Bigelows
full orchestra of six pieces will be in
attendance, and this fact alone will
insure a large company and a most
ENJOYABLE occasion.
We were glad to see the genial coun-
tenance of Mr.. D. Stone, late proprie-
tor of the Island Pond House, again in
our midst. lie arrived last Thursday
and remained two days. lie reports
business good at Old Orchard Beach,
where he now resides, having assumed
the management of the Ocean House
there.
We learn that the next Western ex-
cursion, for which Geo. Ii. Emerson of
Lancaster is the agent, will leave Aug.
10. These excursions are very popular,
Mr.. Emerson personally going part
of the way with the excursionists to see
to their comfort and assist them gem
orally.
The SCORE for July is overlooking
with choice reading and music both
original and selected. The literary
contents are particularly interesting,
and we would call attention to an ar
ticle from u correspondent, entitled:
''Do We Build Church Organs?" The
music is excellent and embraces "The
Kerry Dance" song; an instrumental
piece, "Iope and Doubt; "a kiss
from my Sweetheart" song; Lies Fitres
de la Garde Polka" "To Music"
song; "Slav'ry Chains Am Broke At
Last" song. Sample copies sent by
mail for 10 cents. Published by JOHN

We have received book entitled

ten, contains full map and gives full

ern Kansas, the more fertile portions
OF the State-with map of each coun.
ty. Also valuable information in re.
gard to the great lead and zinc mines

ern Kansas. The book is for grltui
tous distribution, and may be had free
of postage by addressing j. Il. Lock,

We have used and seen in operation
Josh Henshaws Patent Stump Extract
or and Elevator, and in our Judgment il
is an application of power superior to
any other known for extractings tumps
and lifting stones and other heavy ar
, ticles. While it is carried from place
to place with ease, and is readily and
quickly adjusted, the most unyielding
stump is taken out with it. One ad.
vantage this has over anything else OF
the kind we have seen, is that it is Sc
arranged that the power is applied by
several distinct motions of the lever
easily accomplished land what's acquir
ed by each movement is saved; besides
it is operated with an almost incredibly
small amount ofmanual labor.
