DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudcnce in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which tho disorder of each
organ increases the intirmity of the others.
Tho immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite, Nausell, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulcnce, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental YigOr. distressing
sense OF weightand fuIlness in the stomach,
and increased COStivcness, all of which are
known under one head rs Dyspepsia.
In every instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofIlous faint in the

relied upon TO effect cure. Those cases

The depot at Wheatlaad in this
county, on the S. v. R. R. was
burned shortly after midnight last
Tuesday night. The fire was first
discovered by Mr.. E: 7. Huyett,who
sleeps in the store at one end Of the
building, and is supposed to have
been communicated by spark from
passing freight engine TO the ware
room atthe other end. ThebuiIding,
valued at $1,000, belonged to Mr.. S.
H. Higinbotham, and was insured in
the Lancashire Co., of England, Mr..
B. F. Leisenring agent, for 81, 900.

OF Mrs. Mary Fontaine Ransom,
daughter of the late DR.. w. F. Al
exander, of this county, and wife OF
Capt. Thomas D. Ransom, of Staun-
ton, Va. whose death we noted in
our last, the Vindicator says:
Mrs. Ransom leaves six little chill
dren, boy and five girls. Mrs.
Ransom was member of the Wash
ington family, but no historic descent
could add to the beauty of her char-
acter as Christian wife and mother,
or to the wholesome sweetness of her
influence on the socia! circle in which
she moved. Her husband and sis
ter, whose tender love has so long
administered to her fast falling life,
have a general sympathy, in this
community, that is rarely poured out
for individual beteavcments.

great confidence in the play and feels assured
that it will score a success. Every one knows
what a popular actor Mr.. MaguinniS is. and
those who love fun should be at the theatre

vance sale of seats. Grimmer will conduct
the orchestra and thus insure smooth rem
dering of the musical numbers of the play
as well as of the topical song written by Mr.
SWEET and arranged by Grimmer, which will
be sung by Miss Remington. Mr.. McCallum

ANTHONY Davenport,

Anthony Davenport, whose decease in
Newburyport was reported in our issue of
the 18th inst, was a native of that city. He
came to Portland when a young man and
learned his trade as mathematical instru-
ment maker with the late Henry S. Pearson.
He married his wife here, by whom he had
several children. He returned to Newbury-
port about forty years ago, where he has
since resided, and was for several years en-
ployed in the office of the Newburyport
Herald. He was one of the oldest living
members of the First Parish Society in this
city. He was an honest, faithful and intelli-
gent man, and will be pleasantly remembered
by his many old friends now living. He
leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters.

The Indian Mound at Underwood
Spring.

About sixty prominent gentlemen of this
city and from other states were given an ee-
CANT dinner yesterday afternoon by the I'm
derWood Water Company on the grounds adj
joining their famous spring at Falmouth
Foreside The purpose Of the hosts was a
double one-to inspect their new works late
ly erected for bottling this natural spring
water, and to investigate the large Indian
shell mound which has been recently discov-
cred on their property. The party left in
two large covered wagons at one O'Clock
from the Falmouth Hotel and after pleas
ant ride of six miles disembarked at the
farm. Large dining tents had been
erected on the grounds, flags waved aloft
and the pleasing odor of baking clans, boil
ing Holsters, roasting corn and potatoes,
mingled with the rattle of plates and fitting
of walters greeted the guests. The spring
was visited, examined and admired previous
to sitting down to the repast provided by the
hosts. The clam bake with its usual appur-
tenances was then served and it seemed to be
the general consensus of opinion that the
dinner was one of the best ever eaten on the
seashore and the attempt to divert the busy
eaters by post-prandial speeches proved in
effectual
When the tables were cleared the party
were shown the Indian shell mound and the
employees of the company, under the direction
OF the distinguished antiquares and learned
pundlts present proceeded to excavate the
pile for specimens of aboriginal art. The
mound is at the head of the cove into which
the spring empties and is estimated to be
about twenty feet deep, covering a superfic-
lal area fifty feet square. Thus far no sys-
tematic explorations have been undertaken
and nothing of Importance in the archeologi-
cal line has been discovered except some
bone ornaments and few other evidences
OF the agency of the Indian in the making of
this clam shell mound. Yesterday the zeal
GUS antiquaries were not rewarded beyond
the unearthing of large number of bones of
fishes and some of the smaller animals, teeth
of the seal and of some rodents There can
be no question of the commences of this
shell heap and its complete excaqation should
be undertaken for the probable discoveries
that will be made. AT the close of this part
of the programme the company returned to
the marquee where they were invited to sam
pie the spring water in several forms, natur-
al, mixed and aerated The two latter varie-
ties were received with great favor and high
ly approved. AT five o'clock the party left the
ground with hearty cheers for the hosts and
cordial acknowledgements for the handsome
entertainment provided by the company 1t
is strange that such a spring of pure water
SO exceptionally free from organic matter
should have remained in obscurity so long
and one gentleman rightly said that if it was
located in Portland it would be good for
tune for the city and the owner.
