side the upper Maine Central track. used for
loading the Lewiston steam mill company's

O'Connell boy uttered a cry of pain. I'm
shot," said he. People who heard the repor;
came running up. and found that buck-sho;
had passed through the lads two hands. He
was taken home and a surgeon was sum-
moned. 1t was found necessary to amputate
the thumb and forefinger of one hand The
other thumb was also injured. The po-
lice made endeavors to learn where the shot
came from. but could not. One little boy
said he saw a man running away with a gun
in bis hand. 1t was probably a chance shot.
but such carelessness deserves severe pun

rapid rate of speed and landed high and dry
on the point. The OK then took to the water,
taking the OK and Mr.. Barter with him. He
again landed, and was stopped and stopped,
when he became more Infatuated and started
for a field where there were men at work
he soon cleared the field and then turned on
Mr.. Barter, knocking him down, passing over
him and cleared for the woods, jumping five
or six fences. The animal has not been seen
since, although diligent search has been made
for him. Mr.. Barter is badly bruised, but
able to be about.

time the Second National Bank secured l2l.
227 acres, in thirty towns. and the Merchants
National Bank purchased 60. 6l3 acres. This
valuable timber land has now been bonght of

great lumber operators in this city. These
$50 600 odd acres thus purchased are situated
principally on the st. John. The railroads
that have been built and those that are being
constructed in the northern part of Maine,
are opening up facilities for transportation
and increasing the value of lands.

Trade-1Iarks.

The Importance Of law that would pro-
tect trademarks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is known to the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trademark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade
on sterling silverware; Colgates' mark to in
dictate the various grades Of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has
peculiar value OF its own which so distin-
cuisines it from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Lorillard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning Of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves day, the trade
can get their orders filled promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand for the famous CHARTER
OAK make. 4-2S)

A Perfect Cup Of Coffee.


Coffee is the fine issue of Eastern hos
pitality--the climax of the visit. One
recognizes, on entering, the sound of the
coffee mortar; for in every properly
regulated household in the East the cof-
fee is not ground, but pounded to an
impalpable powder, having been roasted
that morning, each day its provision,
and pounded the moment it is needed.
And no one who has not drunk it there
and thus can presume to Judge of the
beverage.
In England we roast it till it is black,
grind it as we would cattle food, boiling
it like malt for beer, and when we drink
the bitter and unaromatic fluid which
remains, say we have taken our coffee.
The Eastern coffee-drinker knows all the
grades of berry and preparation as a
silk merchant knows the quality of silk;
the caffeejee knows that to roast it
shade beyond the point where it breaks
crisply under the pestle is to spoil it, and
when the slow pulverizing is done, each
measure goes into its little copper ibrik,
receives its dose of boiling water, just
one of the tiny cups full rests an instant
on the Goals to restore the heat lost in
the ibriIl, and is poured into the eggshell
cup, and so it came to us, each cup in a
gold-enameled holder. The rule in
these lands seems to be that few things
are worth doing, but these few are
worth doing well, and there is no waste
of life or material by over-haste-PdlL

Trust in Yourself.

A great deal of our most useful
knowledge must be buffeted into us, and
that is the chief good you will reap from
mixing with society. A great fault in
young men is to trust too implicitly to
the opinion of others-quite the reverse
of what people generally suppose.
Trust your own judgment where you
have reason to think you possess any,
and man need never be at any loss in
settling this point. l mean exactly
what | say. You may ask another for
information, because another may be
better informed upon a given matter
than you; but to ask advice is to imply
that you have no judgment of your own
to rely upon; and if you lack the judg-
ment requisite for an undertaking, do
not attempt it.-LOrd Byron.

Queer People in the Catskills.

There are some queer people in the
Catskills. The other day / and friend

Ganymede behind the bar SIS. After

thought. Then he scooped in the S.

other mistake said /. After much de-
liberation he pushed over the fve-dollar
bill to me and said: ooh, pay when
you come again" "But I'm not COM
ing again." persisted. That troubled
him. With great mental effort he fig
ured up for full minute. The com
pound arithmetical problem was too
much for him. "Oh, take drink and
call it square!" said he. Queer people,

A Moral.

/ have met a beautiful little apologize
in an Eastern poet which carries with it
an effective moral. Attracted by the
fragrance of clod of earth, he asks:
d" Art thou the musk?" "No." "Art
thou amberP" 1t replied, 81 am but
common earth, but the rose grew from
me, its beneicent virtue penetrated my
nature. Were it not for the rose l
should be but common earth" So it is
with us. The heart which never glows
with desire to relieve the sufferings
or cheer the sorrows of brother or sis
ter is but common earth; but every
70, f.~li..s, o'vry DlIvugnU OF dIslnter-
ested love, every sentiment of charity
is a rose growing from the bosom and
penetrating our nature with its delicious
and beautiful perfumes. White.

Cheerful Conversation.

That part of life which we ordinarily
understand by the word conversation is
an indulgence to the sociable part of our
make, and should incline us to bring our
proportion of good win or good hImor
among the friends we meet with, and
MOTTO trouble them with relations which
must of necessity oblige them to q real
or feigned aflliction. Cares, distressos,
diseases, uneaslness and dislikes of our
own are by no means to be obtruded
upon our friends. If we would consider
how little of this vicissitude of motion
and rest which we call life is spent with
satisfaction, we should be more tender
of our friends than to bring them little
sorrows which do not belong to them.
There is no real life, but cheerful. life (;
therefore valetudinarians should be
sworn before they enter into company
not to say a word of themselves until
the meeting breaks up.-Spectator.
