A Boy Again.

Pain and sickness bring on old age with fearful rapidity. They make an incessant drain on the vital forces, and the weary steps and faded cheeks of age often come when the enjoyment of life should be at it's high est. Dr. David Kennedy's "Favorite Reme- dy" turns tbts Kind of old age into youth again. Headache, pains in the limbs, trou- bles of the liver, bowels or kidneys vanish before it, and feeble men and women be- come like rollicking school boys and girls once more.

Annexation.

What a Large Number of ''the Solid
 Men'' of New Haven Think About It.
 We, the undersigned, citizens of New Ha- ven, hereby express our hearty approval of the act recently passed by the Legislature of this State, providing for annexing part of the town of East Haven to the town of New Haven and we earnestly urge the voters of New Haven to rally on the first Monday of May and ratify said act by their votes-for the following reasons
 l. The control of New Haven over the harbor is slight The proposed annexation places the waters of the harbor, and the ad- joining shores, absolutely and entirely under it's control.
 ?. New Haven, the ninth port of impor- tance in the United States, has really no qcater front available for wharfage or manufactu- ring purposes. Annexation will add about five miles of the very best water frontage, and will furnish important sites for docks, manufactories lumber yards, coal yards, &c., which the growing interests of our town i'm peratively demand.
 3. Manufacturing and commercial inter ests will be stimulated, thus adding largely to the wealth of our. r.town, and, by increasing facilities, will increase the demand for, and give employment to, a much larger laboring population.
 4. It will add to New Haven territory, now assessed at $1, soc, 900, which will rapidly in crease in value and importance, and will many times compensate New Haven for all immediate cost incurred by annexation.

"A Leap in the Dark.
| MAD AC,

A MAD ACT.
 The cliffs that rear their naughty head
 High OCT the river's darksome bed,
 Were here all naked wild and gray,
 There waving all with greenwood spray;
 Here, trees from every crevice grew,
 And OCT the crags their branches threw,
 And there, all splintered and uneven,
 The shivGred rocks ascend to heaven. It was 8 clear, bright night, in the depths of the mountain wilderness.
 There was long, deep, narrow valley, run ming north and south, for many miles, fianked east and west by towering mountains. The range on the east was called Cata- mount Cliffs, that on the west, Panther Peak. Deep down in the bottom of the valley ran low and narrow river, called the Umbra. On this night not sound disturbed the aw- ful solitude of the wilderness; not living creature appeared in sight.
 Human life seemed far away.
 Yet had there been light enought, human form might have been seen on the eastern range. @ It was the figure of young girl, wrapped in a dark shawl that covered her from head to foot, gliding slowly, slowly down the winding mountain path, now passing out of sight behind clump of trees, now coming into view again as the path turned in and out in its descent.
 Sometimes she paused and leaned against

FIRE IN SPRINGVALE.
Narrow Escape Of the Village from De-
struction.

SPRINGvALE, July Is.
The dwelling house of Mrs. Stephen M.
Hersom situated on Main street, in this village
was burned Tuesday night. The fire was
discovered at about TO- 80 and in few minutes
the stable and ell were in flames. Mrs Her
rom was confined to her bed with sickness and
did not know her house was on fire until
aroused by those outside. She was carried
across the streetto Mrs. Wilson's, and her
children escaped with only their night clothes
on. The most of her furniture and clothing
was saved, but in a damaged condition. At
one time the stores Of Moses bennett and
Charles II. Frost, which join, were on fire and
it looked as though the whole of the business
part of our village would be destroyed, but by
great exertion the fire on Dement'S and
Frost's store was put out and the fire was
stopped in that direction. The store occu-
pied by I. B. Stiles, which sets northerly from
the Hersom house about ten feet distant, it
was thought must surely go, but by the aid of
the engine from Sanford Corner the fire was
kept under control and the building was
saved. Mr.. Stiles cleared out his stock and such
fixtures as he could and moved them to q
place of safety. In front of the Hersom house
was the only hydrant the Aqueduct Company
has put in, to which was attached hose which
did good service in stopping the fire where it
was, and saved a large amount of property.
At one time it was thought impossible to save
Dennetts and Fosters stores, and Dement'S
store was cleaned out. Mr.. Frost was very
cool and showed good judgment. He and
his clerks went into his store and locked them
selves in, got his most costly goods together
and in condition to move in safety if found
necessary. He declined to have anything
taken from his store until he should be con-
WINGED it must be burned. Mrs. Hersom had
an insurance of $4,000 on her house. Messrs
bennett and Stiles were also insured. There
was no wind at the time If there had been
no one can tell where the fire would have
stopped as it was in the very heart of our
village and tho buildings very close togethe r
and all of wood. II.

The Grand Southern,

The question of securing direct line of
railway from st. John TO Boston via the Grand
Southern Road, is now engaging the attention
of railway men who made special trip over
the Grand Southern from St. Stephen to St
John on Saturday. The road was carefully
inspected, as vol as the country through
which it passes, and both were highly spoken
of by the party. The party put up at the New
Victoria Hotel, where they remained Sunday,
and returned home to-day. The party were
composed of the following gentlemen: Messrs.
Geo. E. B. Jackson, President; G. S. Morrison
and A. Sewall, directors of the Maine Central
Railroad; John F. Anderson, G. E., Chairman
of the Maine State Railway Commissioners;

Accidents,

Tuesday evening gentleman named Cliff
ford and a young lady were driving in one of
Berry's teams across Tuksy's bridge. The
draw had been open for some time, but when
they came along was seen to be closed. One
of the chains used as barrier to prevent the
passage of teams while the draw is in use had
not been removed. This hung about foot
from the flooring and was not noticed by Mr.
Clifford. 1t appears that the horse did not see
it either, for he ran against it with full force.
The horse was thrown down, both shafts of
the wagon were smashed and the occupants
thrown violently out. Mr.. Clifford was bruis-
ed about the head, but his companion was I'M
injured. A chain is very dangerous thing
for the purpose for which this one was used A
gate or some other secure barrier should be put
up at once in order to prevent a repetition Of
this accident.
Yesterday morning, as Mr.. Bishop of Cape
Elizabeth was driving across Portland bridge
with heavy load Of strawberries, mis- horse
took fright and ran away. The berries were
scattered in every direction and the wagon up.
set and broken Mr.. Bishop was not injured
