Score One for the Old Pine.

Mrs. Aubrey Spencer of this city, through a
mistake, took a spoonful of nitrate of silver,
one day last week, which came near ending
her life. The lady has been ill for some time,
and in taking her medicine got hold of the
wrong bottle. She was Immediately seized
with violent pain in the stomach. Her mother
knew that an emetic was needed, and gave her
dose of mustard water, but without any eff
feet. A physician was sent for at once. The
distress OF the woman demanded prompt ac-
ton, but the mother was equal to the emergen-
cy. Selling an old tobacco pipe, the dregs OF
the bowl were taken out and administered,
which produced the desired effect. The ply

she would have died before his ARRIVAL Bel

What Constitutes a Legal Marriage

What Constitutes q Legal Marriage.
Marriage, in law, is the conjugal union OF
one man with one woman. In some countries
it is regarded as a sacrament. In Protestant
countries while marriage is not regarded as a
sacrament of the church, it is sometimes cele-
brated as religious ceremony and is usually
performed by clergymen. In the United
States, marriage is, by law, only civil con-
tract, and may be performed by Justice or
any ona.arthorized to solemnize marriage. 1t
is also held in law 'sThat any mutual agree
ment between the parties to be husband and
wife, especially whore it is followed by cohabi-
tation, constitutes valid and binding marriage
if there is no legal disability on the part Of
either to contract matrimony." A queer case
Of marriage took place in this county not long
ago. where one of the contracting parties be-
longed in Belfast. The wife subsequently be-
came pauper and the authorities ascertained
that the marriage, which took place in Frank
fort, was bogus one, and claimed that they
were not holden for the support of the woman.
mony was performed as joke, that the con-
tracing parties had no certificate, and that his
commission as Justice of the Peace had expir-
ed, The following is the ceremony used st the
wedding:
Beneath this roof in pleasant weather,
join this man and maid together.
Let none but Him who rules the thunder,
Put this man and maid asunder."
Ex-Gov Crosby was consulted and pronounc-
ed the marriage legal, and the keeper OF the
poor at Belfast maintained the woman until
her death. There is heavy fine for person
to perform marriage ceremony who is not
qualified Belfast journal.

Accidents.

Yesterday, as Mr.. Rumery, the spice dealer,
turned his horse from Middle into Exchange
street, at the Post Office, the off-hind wheel of
his carriage suddenly crushed down. Mr..
Hunters grocery express was just behind, and
the horse was pulled up SO suddenly he slid
quite . distance ON his launches. When he
regained his feet he put both of his feet
through the wheel, and it was with difficulty
they we're extricated. Both horses were
caught and held before they could run, and SO
no damage was done to any one

Touching Example of Fraternal Devotion
The truth of the following incident is youch-
ed for by Baptist deacon. In certain thriv-

rankest kind Of Democrats. One of them died
recently, and preparations were made for the
obsequies. The ceremonies took place, and the
cortege was about to start for the cemetery
when the surviving brother saw though his
tears that tho driver of the hearse was man
differing in political affiliations from the de-

blank black Republican shall drive the hearse
at my brothers. funeral!' Expostulations were
useless, and the driver was compelled to dis
mount, and be succeeded by less objections

nal devotion is very beautiful in these sordid
days.-Kennebec Journal.

Our readers will rememberithat last spring a
party from this society under the lead Of Prof
E. s. Morse, visited Goose Island of Casco

If the Fussell boilers are the wide
