How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
well preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
We contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust when blasted by
disease-his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
AS call men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, as long as people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DR.. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively

Hearing Before Judge Haskell.

PORTLAND, Nov. 22.
Saturday there was a hearing before Judge
Haskell on petition of r. H.. Brown, J. M.
Brown and G. E. B. Jackson, trustees of the
Brown estate. for closing the accounts of
John Rand who was removed from the Of
flee of trustee last spring The complainants
allege that Mr.. Rand has not surrendered all
the trust assets in his hands and that he has
retained sums received upon the CONVEYANCE
of certain lands to him. The complainants
claim that the probate court has no Jurisdic-
ton to determine the settlement of accounts,
but that they are under the exclusive iuris-
diction of the supreme court. Rand says he
has acquesced, by order of the court, the ac-
count of the trustees for 1884 and up to the
expiration of his term of office. The res
spondent claims that the probate court has
exclusive jurisdiction of trust accounts. He
says he has no money in his hands belonging
to the estate, but if any shall be found he is
ready to surrender it, The hearing adjourned
until Wednesday.

Memorial Sunday.
Sermon by Chaplain Sanford.

Dy Sndpldln
The union memorial service at Mu-
sic hall Sunday night was attended by
an audience nearly filling the large
hall. Chamberlin post occupied the
front seats. The platform was Occu
pied by local clergymen, and by the
volunteer chorus which lead the sing
j. H. Humphrey directing. The music
consisted of selections from Gospel
Hymns" Rev. E. T. Fairbanks offer
ed the invocation, Rev. d. III. Adams
read Scripture selections, and Rev. l..
l.. Beeman offered prayer.
The preacher was Rev. EFT. Sanford,
chaplain of the post. He chose for his
text Isaiah 60: -, "For the nation
and kingdom that will not serve thee
shall perish yea, those nations shall
be utterly wasted" We meet, said
the speaker, under circumstances that
probably have no parallel in the world.
Memorial day and Memorial Sunday
are peculiar Christian, American in
situations. We come here to-day not
to celebrate any body of men, but to
bring our tribute of praise to God, who
gave our country brave and true men
and crowned their labOrs with success,
and to reconsecrate ourselves to the
service of our country and our God.
My theme is "Christianity Essential
to the Nations life" The text is not
the revelation of threat, but the rev.
elation of a fundamental, vital law.
Christ is the source of all life. His
truth must be the law of this land, or
it must perish. Victor Hugo recently
said, "What France needs above all
things, is to be religious" The histo-
rian Bancroft has called our own land
''the child of Christianity" Christian
ity is essential for a twO-fOld purpose,
to control and uproot the vices which
destroy a nation, and to cultivate those
virtues that prOlOng its life. The
kingdoms of antiquity were destroyed
by idOlatry, injustice and lust, sins
which in their essence threaten our
country. The cornerstone of this re-
public is the equal rights of all men
before God, a principle which is the
very essence of Christianity. If it can
be said that ''the Bible is the source of
England's greatness" our country can
point to the Crucified One as the source

An Interesting Suit.
The Case of Ham Brock against E. J. Ri.
Hale.

The Case of Ham Brock against E. J. Ri.
Hale.
The case of Hamilton Brock of Bar
net against E. j. NJ. Hale, which was
entered in the county court at the last
term, concerns parties who are well
known in this part of Vermont. Hale's
grandfather, a New York millionaire,
by will left one-fifth of his estate to
this grandson. The will was contest
ed, decided to have been illegally franz
ed, and broken, so that Hale received
One-sixth of the property, according to
his rights under the law in intestate
estates. Hale was formerly an init
mate associate of Brock, who is widely
known about here as horse man, and
the latter claims that Hale promised
him, if he would help him in cOnnec-
ton with the will litigation in New
York, to give him in return one fourth
of what he should realize from his
gIandfather's estate. Brock claims
this fourth amounts to about $40, ZOO,
and he sues for it, basing his claim on
the alleged promise of Hale and the
valuable assistance rendered by him
self at the time of the will trial. He
also claims $4,000 on other consider
ations, such as boarding Hale, loaning
him $4,000, and paying out money for
him. Hale is young man of about %
years, a son-inlaw of Capt. George P.
Blair of West Barnet, and has of late
been living at Littleton, n. H. Since
Brooks suit was instituted, Hale has
brought two suits against Brock, one
an action of account to settle certain
partnership affairs, and the other to
recover abOut $4,000 on a horse owned
by them jointly. Their disputes began
last summer, when Brock arrested
Hale, alleging that he was about to
abscOnd from the state, Hale maintain
ing that he was DING away only tenn
pOrarily. The defense consider Brooks
suit to be a Matchmaking attempt to
get money from Hale, but Brock main
tains that he did important service for
Hale at the time mentioned, making
long journeys in his behalf, and spend
ing money and effort for him. Bates
81 May of st. Johnsbury are counsel
for Brock and Ide g. Stafford for Hale.
