The Governor and Council have decided the
dispute as to whether the town of York or
Wells was entitled to Representative in the
next legislature, and the certificate has been
issued to Leonard A. Stevens of Wells. Each
town selected man, York Republican, and
Wells Democrat, and at the election the on
position party in each place decline to vote on
the question. The principle upon which
decision " as made, is found in Article 4, Sec
tion of the Constitution, which, after stating
how an apportionment shall be made con-
cludes as follows: "And the right of repre-
sentation, so established, shall not be altered
until the next general apportionment." As
no general apportionment was made by the
last legislature it was decided that the right of
succession was fully provided for in the above
clause, and the certificate issued accordingly.

An Old Deposition.

We ind amongst our private papers depo-
sition which will aid US in the early history Of
Portland. May 3, 1927, Ebenezer Woodward
paid the town of Falmouth a1e, and was ad-
mitted an inhabitant and soon received a
grant of house lot of one acre, which, as
near as can locate, is that bounded by the
following streets: North by Middle, opposite
the Post Office: east by Market; south by
Fore; and west by Fish, now Exchange street.
AT that time there was small brook whose
head was spring near where Watson New
halls house stood before the fire, and made its
way down to the sea across Woodward lot and
crossed Fore street about where the old Mari
ners Church stands on the corner on the
street leading to Long wharf. Woodward
House was erected at the corner of Exchange
and Fore streets and was the first house erected
on the easterly side of Exchange street below
Middle. This lot as you will see by reading
the deposition was used for farming purposes.
Samuel Cobb came from Midd ebury, Mass, to
Cape Elizabeth in 1717 where he resided one

ed and lived at the head of King street, now
India street, on the westerly side. He held the
offices of clerk, treasurer and selectman He
was boatbuilder by trade which led him
along to that of building houses. james Milk
referred to was born IN Boston in I'LL. He
married Sarah Brown in 1876 by whom he had
large family of children, one OF whom, Dor
cas-, married Nathaniel Deering, who came
here from Kittery and these were the ances-
tors Of James Deering and Lady Preble, the
wife of Commodore Prebie. He was captain
OF militia company, a deacon of the First
Church, and rather business man. He re-
sided at the foot of Exchange street until 1772

What is the right Of the ballot to woman
compared with her privilege Of enjoying
health and happiness in the charmed circle of
her social and domestic relations Among
the many discoveries tending to promote the
happiness and advancement of the human
race, nothing is SO intimately connected with
the health and happiness of woman-the
centre and source of our highest earthly en-
joyments-as the discovery of a remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and fits her for the
enjoyment of life, and for ministering to the
happiness Of those with whom she is associa-
ted in the tender relations of sister, wife and
mother This remedy is found in DIR. J. Brad
fields Female Regulator, "Womens Best
Friend" By it woman is emancipated from
the ills peculiar to her sex. Before its magic
power all Irregularities of the womb vanish.
1t cures "whites, suppression Of the "menses,
and removes uterine distractions. 1t cures
constipation and strengthens the system,
braces the nerves and puriies the blood, and
thus doing, it does more for her and through
her, for the whole human family than any
discovery of modern times. 1t never fails,
