A Sad Case.

His face was like the scar and yellow
leaf in fact of such a golden hue was the
mans countenance that it was evident he
had resumed specie payment on a gold
basis. 1t was sad case of indolent liver.
He was advised to try DR.. Whites Dande-
lion Alternative, and acting upon this
advice he is now happy, the saffron hue
having departed. He sleeps well, enjoys
his food, and feels that he has taken a new
lease on life.

CAUTION.

All remedial agents capable destroying life Dy
overdose should be avoided. Morphine, opium
strychnine, arnica, hyoeciamus. and other power
full remedies, does at certain times, in very small
Doses relieve the patient during their action IN the
system. But perhaps the second dose, II repeated,
may aggrsvate and increase the suffering, and an
other dose cause death. There In necessity for
using these uncertain agents when d positive rem

the least difficulty in either infant or adult.

NORTH VASSALBORO'.

Sunday was a gala day with the children of
this village. Children's day was observed at
the NJ. f. church. The church was BEAUTIFULLY
decorated with flowers and evergreens, and
cages of singing birds hung in every available
place. Among other fine effects we noticed a
huge cross of evergreen spangled with white
roses, and in the center large Gala. Over
the pulpit was a large arch on which, in gilt
letters, was ''Children's Day" The address
to the little ones, by Rev. Mr.. Boynton. was
remarkably good and was enjoyed by old and
young alike. His remarks were based upon
the last verse in the Old Testament. The
concert in the evening was credit to all TAX
ing part. Much praise is due Supt George
Canham, and Miss Nettie Burrill, organist,
for their untring diligence with the children.
Several of our citizens are preparing for
their annual fit TO the sea-shore. Gov.
Rice of Massachusetts, sister to our townsman
Edward Breck, was here on a short visit last
week.-Haying is well under way. The past
week was extremely hot, and farmers have
been "making hay while the sun shines"

Wednesday, for malicious mischief, and re-
leased on payment of costs.

was very small, on account of the intense
heat.
The water in the college well is in such a
condition that the few students spending the
vacation there. are compelled to resort to the
river to wash, and to obtain their drinking
water from the surrounding country. 1t has
been ascertained that all the wells along the
ridge are affected in some degree. The col
lege authorities have given prompt attention
to the matter, and all concerned hope that the
nuisance will be aba,ed or stopped before the
commencement of the next college year.
The emigration to Squirrel Island begins

They fetch % cents pound. This week our
native blackberries, which come largely from

In NJ onday's Journal we mentioned the
fact that the farm buildings of Frank Il.
Yeaton of Belgrade, were consumed by fire
on Saturday morning. twas supposed that
the fire was the work of an incendiary, and
Mrs. Ruth j. Blaisdell of Belgrade, was ar
rested on a warrant charging her with the
crime. The woman had had some difficulty
with the Yeatons, and had threatened to fire
their buildings. Judge True did not find
the evidence against her strong enough to
warrant her being held to await trial at the
September term of the Supreme Court. She
was put under $500 bonds to keep the peace
for one year.
