Aroostook county supplies to large extent
-. nreseut demands for potatoes in various
,.,,. of this and other States. Were it not
=, freight the county Of Aroostook might
,san a richer harvest than at present by
.endjne her surplus productions to the 'out-
aide world" There should be line Of rail-
,o.a to upper Aroostook within our own bor-
ao,. an that communication with that 'sgar-
A., of Maine. might be more direct and much
,ss. expen,ive During the present season
carloads of potatoes have been received in
hi. city from Aroostook; and on Saturday
la, there arrived for Mr.. c. W. p. Osgood,
.notber invoice of four hundred bushels of
the best quality of potatoes produced by our
Northern county. This amount and
more will probably be required in
mi. market to supply the demand
g, consumption and seed for planting.
While the price obtained by the farmers is
comparatively low. the charges for freight,
change of cars and other expenses, leave but
a ANAL margin of profit when the merchan-
disc is delivered here. We firmly believe in
having direct route by rail to tine heart of
.roos,ook-a belief we have cherished and
advocated for the past twenty years

on the Late Fire,

DOVER, January 10. Criticisms on the late
poor house fire and the causes that led to it
are numerous. The principal comments re-
fer to lack of water. Had there been a
sufficient supply when the FIRE was discovered
and competent person to use ii, the fire
might have been extingushed. There was
no Waterman and the buildings were left en-
tirely unguarded at night. There was no one
to unfasten the doors even in the case of a
fire. The paupers are now crowded into
their small wooden buildings not one quarter
large enough, and which are heated in any
way convenient with only one man to guard
them all, making repetition of Fridays dis
aster likely any moment.

Amputation Of the Leg
The old Family Physician ct Psnlt.-Dr
David Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or fool will affect to despise il.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewin, Ulster
county, n. T., has realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole of his thigh-bone.
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer. His family physician refused to
amputate the understanding that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. DR..
Darid KENNEDY. of Rondout. n. Y, who
was consulted, held different opinion and
amputated the limb. TIE Doctor then ad-
ministered freely his great Bl,od-Speciic
FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system, prevent the return of
the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to
this day in the bloom Of health. This gen.
tleman's disease was the offspring Of foul
blood. and Kennedy's FAvORITE REMEDY
purified the blood and restored to him the
power once more to enjoy his life. Are you
suffering from any disease traceable to the
same cause? Try Favorite Remedy Your
