THE medicine of A. H. Lowber call
ed Family Physician" as testified to
by T. Howard Wilson, of Lebanon, has
certainly wonderful curative powers.
Read what he says in the advertisement
under the heading 5000 Dollars"
ship which has been in progress for
some time has resulted in fifteen con-
versions up to date. Among the num-
ber were several heads of families. On
Sunday night last eight were at the
altar, three of whom were heads of
families. The promise is good.
The company that played East
Lynne" at the Town Hall on Saturday
night is pronounced by those who
heard it one of the hest that ever came
to the Town. The Hall was not more
than half full. The bad conduct of
some i'll mannerly lads in the rear of
the audience greatly annoyed the
actors as we'll as the audience. They
will appear here again tomorrow night.
