a LONG SEARCH.
A Portland Uncle Finds his Niece.

The Advertiser of last evening gives long
account of the search of Portland gentleman
for his niece and the final browning of his
efforts with success.
The girl was born in Medford in 1852 and
her parents afterwards moved to Passport,
Me. The chld's mother died in 1854 and left
the daughter to the uncle in Portland as she
had little confidence in her husband. The
girls father went to Charlestown, Mass,
worked in the navy yard, married in 1857,
and then took the girl from her uncle. Then
the uncle lost sight of her for years. The faith
Their died, and the stepmother never informed
the girls relatives. The uncle enlisted, served
through the war, and yet sought everywhere
for the missing niece. In 1868 he then re-
turned to Portland.
Five years ago, in Boston, he heard from
man that the niece was in Somerville. The
Someryille and Chelsea police hunted every
where for her without success. Finally, on
searching the Someryille records the uncle
found child had been adopted by lady on
Florence street that might have been his
niece but on inquiry the lady snubbed him
thinking he was an agent of the step-mother
and wanted the girl for improper purposes.
Finally, when she found what his relation was
to the child she said man adopted the child,
and kept her for some time. It was found
that he was not proper person to have charge
OF her and she was taken away by her former
benefaetress This lady kept her for time
and at last placed her in a well-known school
for destitute children. Here this lady's knowl-
edge of the child ended. She had been adopt
ed by some one bu5 further than that she
knew nothing of her. She however gave the
uncle letter to the matron of that institution,
and he went there with all possible haste. The
matron told him that the child had
been adopted by Baptist clergyman, and
gave him the gentleman's name The resi-
dence of this clergyman had been changed and
she knew nothing of his present home. In
quiries for d clergyman of the name given
was set on foot in every direction. The uncle
went to the Baptist book rooms in Boston and
asked every clergyman who came there if he
knew the minister in question. Finally one
said that clergyman of that name lived in
Middleboro'. To that town the uncle went
with the utmost expedition He found the
clergyman add gave him a letter from the
been. This gentleman said that the young
lady was married to one of the most respecta-
BILE citizens Of Middeboro, but that she knew
nothing whatever of her parentage. He made
many COLLECTIONS TO letting her know even
then, but the entreates of the uncle finally
overcame them and he consented. Success at
last crowned his efforts, and the long-lost
niece was found. The meeting between the
two relatives was affecting in the extreme.
The lady had not the slightest knowledge that
she ever had an uncle ard the sudden news
overcame her She is perfectly happy to have
discovered as she says, who and what she is,
and who are her relatives.

Adams to the position of deputy sheriff, va
Gated by City Marshal Watson. This is good

ton, besides having large experience in the
duties upon which he now enters. Col. Adams

Miss Jennie B. Hagan.

Those who have failed to hear this wonder
full girl medium who has spoken the last two
Sundays at Rossini Hall should avail them
selves of the last opportunity but one, next
takes from twelve to fifteen subjects from the
audience and without any hesitation improvises
poem on each subject, and whatever may be
said of these poems, as governed by exact
rules,-every one of them contains high NOR
al tone and is pithy and pointed, with moth
ing to offend the most religious ear Some of
them are very fine; one in particular last Sun
day evening on ''Shadows and Shadow Land,
was of high order of merit perfect in rhythm
and metre, and would do credit to any first
class poet. Such was the verdict of all who
are good judges. Should she continue to de-
velop and improve in the future as she has in
the past she will yet take high rank in this
country as speaker and improyisatoress.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectuai that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riab1y be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthiIl's professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.
