the foundation OF all pulmonary diseases,
and is adapted to patients Of any age or
either sex. Being very palatable, the
youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Group, and
Catarrh, the effects OF AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL are magical, and multitudes
are annually preserved from serious ill
ness by its timely and faithful use. It
should be kept at hand in every house,
hold for the protection it affords in sud-
den attacks. In Whooping-cough and
Consumption there is no other remedy
so efficacious, soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try
some Of the many mixtures or syrups,
made OF cheap and ineffective ingredi-
ents, now offered, which, as they con-
tain no curative qualities, can afford
only temporary relief, and are sure to
disappoint the patient. Diseases OF the
throat and lungs demand active and
effective treatment; and it is dangerous
experimenting with unknown and cheap
medicines, from the great liability that
these diseases may, while so trifled with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, and you
may confidently expect the best results.
It is OF acknowledged curative power,
and is as cheap as its careful preparation
and fine ingredients will allow. Emil
nent physicians, knowing its compost
ton, prescribe it. The test OF half a
century has proven its certainty to cure
all pulmonary complaints not already
beyond the reach of human aid.

AT a meeting of the field day committee of
the Maine Historical Society on Saturday, the
following arrangements were made: The
Revenue Cutter Dallas will leave Portland on

terest
In letter to the Hon. Lot VI. Morrill,, Coliec-
tor of Customs at Portland, through whom the
request of the Society for the use of the Dallas
was transmitted, the Secretary of the Treasury
resulting from the labors of the society, and

interfere with her duties, the request is
granted, with the understanding that no extra
expense to the government or to the officers OF
the vessel, shall be incurred
1t is expected that the members will provide
| for their own entertainment, both on board OF
| the steamer and at ThomastOn.

Captain Joseph Mountfort, Port Warden of
this city, died a. his residence ON India street
last Saturday evening, at o'clock, of catarrhal
inflammation of the bowels, at the age of SO
years, 2 months and "a days. Although his
health had not been very good during the last
two months of his life, he was not considered
i'll until last Thursday morning, when he re-
tired to his bed and grew rapidly worse until
he was relieved by death.
Capt. Mountfort was born in this city June
10, 1912, and was the son of Daniel Mountfort
and Betsey Ilsley Mountfort, and was the
youngest child of seven sons and five daugh-
tiers, all having died except two sisters. He
acquired good common school education,
having Master Burdick for teacher Having
a great love of the sea, at the early age of
fourteen he made his. first voyage with his
brother, Capt. Daniel Mountfort.
At the age of twenty-one he was master of a
vessel and retained the rank CT captain until
three years ago, when he made his last trip as
master of the brig e. H. Williams to Glasgow.
Scotland. He sailed to nearly every port in
Europe, the East and West Indies, doubled,
frequently, the capes of Horn and Good Hope
and visited nearly all of the ports of the
United States. At the age of sixty-six years,
having for fifty-four years been constantly on
the ocean, he gave up the sea-faring life and
retired to his loved home in our city. He was
soon after elected Port Warden, and filed that
office most acceptably until his DEATH

In Menoriam.

Plymouth church was filed yesterday with
the friends who gathered to pay the last tribute
of affection to Mrs Eta r. ferris, who had
long been q member of that church, interested
in Its spiritual welfare, and active in all church
enterprises. Very lovely was she in death,
with the bloom Of her youth unfaded, and the
beautiful flowers she loved so well in profusion
around her. Love and skill rarely do more in
the way of floral decorations. From the pillow
at the head of the casket, with her name in
purple violets. to the mound in the cemetery
completely covered with evergreen and bright
flowers, all spoke of rest and hope, rather than
of death and sorrow. She was member OF
the class who graduated from our High school
in 1871, by all of whom, as well as many other
friends, she will long be held in loving remem.
brance. Her husband, as we'll as her family,

US, have our heartfelt sympathy in their be.

THE BRIDGToN RAILROAD.
An Injunction Granted Restraining its
Construction.

Last February the citizens of Bridgton held
o town meeting at which they voted if Mr.
Bradstreet, or any other stock company, in "
| days, should make such arrangements as were
satisfactory to committee of the town, then
raised to take into consideration the build ing
of a railroad from Bridgton to Portland, OF
near Portland, SO as to give railroad commune
cations between the two cities, the town would
aid the enterprise by issuing its bonds to the
amount of $4,000. If, however, Bradstreet
should fail to make such arrangements, then
the town agreed to aid any other company
complying with the above named terms.
The 50 days expired and Bradstreet failed to
make the arrangements. Thereupon the
Bridgton & Saco River Railroad Co. was or
gained under the general laws of the State for
constructing railroad from Bridgton to
Hiram, there to connect with the Portland q
Ogdensburg, and ON the Goth of August or
thereabouts, the Bridgton committee voted the
arrangements of this company satisfactory to
them and also voted to aid in the construction
of the road by taking $4,000 in stock, to be
paid for in bonds of the town bearing five per
cent. annual interest and payable in twenty
years. The town subscribed and made ar
rangements to issue the bonds.
The citizens of North Bridgton were opposed
to the projected road, and having received the
opinion of their counsel, Messrs Drummond
Drummond of this city, that the bonds
could not be legally issued, as the town pro-
ceedings were fatally defective, filed bill in
equity on Friday last, and obtained an injunc-
tion restraining the Bridgton committee and
town officers from issuing the bonds, and the
injunction was served Saturday.
1t is said that the town officers, suspecting
an injunction would be applied for, issued the
first assessment of bonds, to the amount of
$4,000, and it was for that reason an injunc-
ton was also obtained against the railroad
company forbidding them, or their officers,
from receiving the bonds, or, if received,
from disposing of them in any manner, which,
of course, precludes their negotiation. The
injunction was procured without notice. or FL
ing bond and the parties against whom it is
granted, can at any time, move to dissolve it,
and have a hearing upon the questions at issue.
Among the material defects it is alleged that
the town never voted in what hammer it would
aid in the construction of the road and never
authorized any subscription for stock, which
burg Railroad VS.. the Town of Standish SAID
must be done or the proceedings would be in
valid.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL CASE.
Described in Still More Remarkable
Language.

L. T. Millett Of West Minot furnishes typi-
cal illustration of surgical triumph. Nine
years ago he received traumatic injury of the
spine, which proved to be very serious affair,
impairing the functions of the nervous system,
rendering it extremely hyper-esthetic. He
frequently had hystero-epileptoid paroxysms,
which from their frequency and severity great
ly impaired his general health. About IL
months ago he received another injury by the
way of severe blow on the shoulder which in
tensiied all the symptoms. The sequel of the
last injury was partial paralysis and atrophy
of certain muscles of the arm, rendering him
whollysincapactiated for. manual labor, in fact
combining him to the house for about six
months. By unceasing care of well-trained
nurse and the most excellent physician, DIR. e.
F. Bradford of Mechanic Falls, he finally got
so he could visit his friends. But finding he
still suffered much pain in the arm from an
injury of the musculo-spiral nerve, together
with the most intense agony if that part OF
the arm was touched, which also set him into
violent paroxysms, he consulted the eminent
surgeon Dr. Greene of Portland, who advised
him to have surgical operation, to which he
consented. The 2Sth day of May last DR..
Greene gave him an anRsthetic,c cut down upon
and stretched the nerve. The patient is rap
idly regainins the use of his limb and has not
had nervous attack since the operation.

The City Tax.

Our tax payers will learn with pleasure that
the assessors have been able to place the city
tax for the ensuing year at $3.50
a thousand. Last year it was
$3.50 This year it will be seen the tax will
be 50 thousand less than last year, and is the
lowest rate of taxation since 1864, or two years
previous to the great fire. This is an excellent
showing and has been made possible by the tx
cellent care of the citys affairs by those having
