W. f. Potter is quite a numismatist, and
has a fine collection of American and foreign
coins on exhibition at his restaurant There
are silver dollars with dates ranging from
1894 up to the present time. Back of these
are arranged rows Of copper cents from 1894
up to 1857. He has also Mexican, Spanish,
and Portuguese coins. In the case is quite a
collection of American fractional currency
of various issues and also bills
issued in ante-bellum days, "when change
was scarce" by the banks and business hous-
es. There is fifty cent bill with the sigma
ture of the 'sVeazie Bank" Bangor, on it.
s'The Veazie" was as solid as the hills,
and its notes were as ''good as gold" all over
the State. Mr.. Potter has fifty cent scrip,
yellow as parchment, which is one Of the suf-
ferers of the "great fire of 1865" 1t passed

A Rich Display OF Millinery.

A Rich Display OF Millinery.
The elaborate invoice of goods now exhibit
ed at the store of Miss A. O. Getchell, No.
l5s Water street, is particularly worthy Of
the ladies' attention Owing to the storm of
Thursday the opening will be continued to-
day. The first object which attracted our
attention was her show window, very elab-
orately and tastefully arrayed with satin and
lace Of every description, and a mound of
flowers for a centre piece, that looked as if
they had just been culled-so natural and
perfect. Entering the interior we found our
selves in the midst Of flowers, laces, hats and
bonnets oflatest styles, some of which we will
describe: A light blue satin bonnet trimmed
with gold lace needs special mention, and
another which we particularly admired was a
coachmans drab, Bonita shape, with an ele
CANT feather around the crown and fine
border Of mignonette around the edge. AnOth-
er was of the very desirable turban
shape, with soft crown of rich white damask
silk, and a wreath of heath and field daisies
with rim of black velvet, the upper
edge finished with white waxed beaded lace.
The heliotrope color was beautifully dis
PLAYED BY an elegant bunch of shaded tips on
shirred crown of white satin and heliotrope
satin brim, with fringe ties in both white and
heliotrope. Another was too lovely for any
thing-white chip with pink satin, shrring
inside, and trimmed on the outside with silk
and Spanish lace, broad ties of the same and
soft pink roses, with a bunch of white tips
arranged amid the lace and flowers. We
must stop here, as it is utterly useless to at
tempt to further describe the beauty of the
elegant establishment. Miss Getchell offers
her goods very cheap and the ladies should
not fail to give her call.

ShOddy Mill Burned.

PIrrsFIELD, Mass, May 7. The shoddy
mill of David II. Stearns was burned this
forenoon. Loss 50 900; no insurance. John
Alexander. manager, it is feared was fatally
burned before he escaped from the building.
Forest Fires.
WATERFOWL, n. J., May T.. Another
large forest fire is sweeping through the CO.
dar woods here. Last night the fire encir-
cled the town, destroying the house of Lydia
Cameron and five yachts anchored in Oyster
Bay. Everybody is fighting fire.
Eight hundred acres of valuable wood land
were destroyed by the forest fires which have
just been extinguished. Two residences and
five yachts were burned.
Coal Cars and Saw Mill Destroyed.
New YORK, May Z. The saw mill at Com
munipaw, with large quantity of oil and a
train of coal cars, were burned this morning.
Pennsylvania Oil Regions Suffer Great
A special from Bradford. Pa, says that
500 oil wells were burned, together with
hundreds of thousands of barrels of petrO-
leum. The loss is very great, and falls on
poor manufacturers. Many men will be
bankrupt, while others lose all means of sup
port. No estimate can be formed as to the
actual loss, as the fires are still raging with
abated fury in different parts of the fields.
The loss will run into millions.
BRApFoRD, Pa, May Z. The destructive
fire is still raging. Hundreds of men are at
work endeavoring to subdue the flames. The
greatest number of rigs and tanks of oil were
consumed in Foster Brook Valley, along Har-
risburg Run. in Kendall Greek V alley and Sum-
nit. Fires also ragged near Torport and De-
golfer. The scope of territory in which the
fire prevails is II miles in extent. In Oil
Valley, the greatest danger exists. Smaller
and dangerous fires are still burning in all
parts of the woods, but it is thought they will
be controlled without much further loss to
property. All villages threatened with being
consumed with burning oil are now considered
safe, but breeze now blowing leaves the sit
uation very perilous and the fire is liable to
break out again and become more disastrous
than before, unless it rains or the wind sub
sides.
At Williamsport. Penn.
