play Of Aurora Borealis that has been Wit
messed for several nights pact is due to the
great sun spots on the surface of our lumi-
nary where gigantic forces are app arently at

A Family Happily Reunited.

A few days ago the Argus published an
item about Mrs. johnson who came here in
vain search for her husband.
The Dover Democrat publishes the ac-
count of an interesting reunion of the family
in that city last Wednesday. About six months
ago man named johnson, with his wife and
children, landed at Halifax from England
He soon after took passage by schooner from
that city to Boston and nothing further was
heard from him. The mother and children
finally turned up in Dover, where they were
cared for by Rev. j. w. Beard. In the
meantime Mr johnson had come to Portland,
where he had agreed to meet his wife, and
not finding her has since been searching for
his family in many cities of the country
Getting discouraged. and as a last resort be-
fore going back to England in despair, he
again visited Portland, where he found a pos
tai card from his wife, and at once hastened
to Dover, where he found one of his little
children playing in the street near its home
A happy meeting followed, and the next day
the husband obtained WORK in the mills of
the COcheco company. Truth can beat fc-
ton and scarcely seems to try.
