BATH, Nov. IL.
The Calais schooner Fannie Mitchell, Capt.
II. r. Smith, went ashore Tuesday night at
o'clock, on Cape Small Point and is total
wreck. She was loaded with lis M. lumber,
bound for Providence. The wind was blow

owing to the heavy sea. There was no insur-
ance on the schooner or lumber A crew
commenced shipping the schooner, Wednes-
day. All the sails and rigging will be saved,
and if the wind does not change, the lumber
will be saved. A. II. Sawyer of Calais was
sole owner of the vessel and cargo. The
Mitchell is one hundred tons burden. She
sailed from Calais the 25th of last month,
and put into Portland, and left there Tuesday
morning. Owing to the heavy wind she tried
to make Horse Island, but couldn't carry sail
enough, and went ashore. The vessel is full
of water and has broken in two.

session and was opened in the sixth degree.
all the officers being present but ID. Wyatt
Aiken of South Carolina. who is confined at
home by illness. The committee on creden-
tials reported 90 States clear upon the treas
urer's books and entitled to representation.
After reading of the report the doors were
opened and Worthy Master Woodman read
his annual address. A recess was then taken
after which the Grange opened in secret ses-
sion, when the executive committees report
was read by DIR. Blenton of Virginia. From
this it appears that the financial condition of
the order for the past year has been prosper
GUS. The number of dormant oranges re-
vived during the past fiscal year is l50, scat
tered throughout the country. Not unfre-
quently, says the report, the executive COM
mittee is appealed to by individuals for pro-
lection from s.mutual aid associations" or
other similar corporations with which they
have no connection. The committee sug.
eests that the National Grange publish de-
iiverance upon this subject renonouncing its
responsibility for any association of whatever
character, unless such as may be found rec
oenized by the constitution and bylaws and
thus possibly increase the caution of the un-
wary patron who il 90 frequently imposed
upon.

An Internal Revolution.

Which enables the stomach to throw of the
yoke of dyspepsia, is effected through the aid
OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a most eff
cient ally in warning with all disorders which
affect the digestive organs, the liver and the
bowels. When the dyspeptic experiences
heartburn, wind on the stomach, or any of the
other familiar symptoms of his malady, a
wineglassful of this matchless stomachic will
dissipate them, and q pursuance of the reme-
dy bring about q cure. Constipation and
billiousness, evils to the relief of which ape
rients and cathartics are inadequate, also
yield to this fine Alternative. The restoration
of appetite aud nightly repose, and the dis
appearance of those nervous symptoms that
habitually annoy the chronic sufferer from
dyspepsia, also ensue upon the use Of the
Bitters, which is likewise a standard remedy
and preventive Of fever and ague, rheumatism,
kidney and bladder troubles and dibiity.

How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind! How infinite the scope
Of mans power if his faculties are
we'll 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 bv
dsease-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 his
deterorated physically is a 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-
= dtion, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplisbed better results
in oyerthrowing 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 a reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, Ga recon-
