outside of her lips. Many eminent physicians and
surgeons, both in Portland and in Massachusetts

Malicious Mischief,

During the absence of the family of Mr..
James w. G. Knight, No. 234 Bracket street,
Wednesday afternoon, some persons entered
their house, and when the family returned
they found everything in the greatest dis
order. Furniture was turned over and piled
up; wash bowls were placed in corners of
rooms and the pitchers in other corners. In
fact it seemed as if an earthquake had con-
vulsed the establishment Nothing of value
was missing.
