Sore EYES

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inilamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
flamnatiOn i'll my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. BY the
advice Of physician commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
Ny eyes are now in a splendid condi-
tion, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, n. II.
For number of years / was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected a complete cure, and 1
believe it to be the best Of blood puri-
tiers. &C. L. Upton, Nashua, n. II.
From childhood, and until with n few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. L have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
great blood purifier. - Mrs. q. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for a year with inhamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me OF sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, TO no purpose, was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infiamma-
tiun, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
4. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was aiilict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes During
the last two years she never saw light OF
any kind. Physicians Of the highest
standing exertcd their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased n bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her Sight was restored.

deed, those very claims are baseo entirely
on what the people say Hoods Sarsaparila

Gould is reported to have lost money, it is
thought there were many other railroad Sc
curities in which money was lost, besides
different kinds of stocks. No doubt, also,
Mr.. Gould made money by his speculations,
at times. One gentleman was advised to in
vest in New York Central at one time, by
Mr.. Gould, when the gentleman, by so doing,
dropped $4,000, and probably Mr. Gould had
the same bad fortune.
1t would appear that Mr.. Gould's family
have for some time expected some calamity
to overtake them. since Mr.. Gould told them
to be prepared for great shock.
At the jail, yesterday, Mr.. Gould appeared
bright and as cheerful as could be expected
under the circumstances His cell is the
pleasantest in the jail, and he shares 1t with
Sergt. Kelly, of Fort Popham renown. His
family have been allowed to furnish him a
| feather mattress for his cot, a pair of sheets
| for his bed, and to provide some delicacies
| that are not included in prison fare. A
| number of friends called on him. and he re-
ceived many presents of fruit and flowers.
| The directors and the bank examiner have
| secured the services of experts. They ex-
amined the notes due the bank yesterday,
and at the time of the afternoon adjourn
ment had not completed their examination
| in that department. There was quite an I'M
| portant admission made last night by one OF
the officer When told that the grand jury
had reported one Indictment against Mr.
Gould, he said, "Are the forgeries includ-
| ed?" While it was more than suspected
that there had been forgeries discovered, the
bank officials never before admitted it even

MaIne SAVINGS Bank.

In another column will be found the state
ment of the Maine Savings Bank, as made
by Mr.. Fred E. Richards, State Bank Exam
liner, and considered somewhat necessary, but
only through Mr.. Gould connection with the
bank as one of its trustees. Some idea OF the
absolute strength of this institution may be
had when we say that more than $3.50
has been spent since Jan. 18th last in premi-
ums for Government long city and railroad
bonds, of which about $1,0O0,0O0 have been
purchased. Among the first named are $780,
600 Reg As, then $4,000 City of Portland 6's,
due 1907; also 100000 City Of Minneapolis
bonds, due 1915; and the railroad bonds are
largely the underlying first mortgages OF
strong roads, and surrounded by every safe
guard, and costing in some instances as high
as thirty odd per cent premium. Let us see
what we have left. Enough to pay all interest
earned to depositors since July last; also taxes
and expenses, and the sum of $16a,S03.74. as
net earned surplus, and no mention is made OF
retired securities lat low market value) worth
$5S, 730, and land in Dakota, worth $4,000
more. If we take the surplus as made by
the Bank Examiner, or the market value OF
the securities, which is $746, 460,10, the
strength of the bank is still more apparent.

Edmund G. Murray vs.. Dawson w. Reed and
Lucinda Reed Verdict fer the defendants.
Asa Low for the plaintiff.
Hamilton s. Haley for defendants.
Benjamin A. Parker and l. HI. Varney VS.. Jas.
w Libby This was an action of trover. The
plaintiffs resi- de at Berwick and the defendant
Iesdes at Portland. In December, 1885, the
plaintiffs gave to one w. r. Hill promissory
note for the sum Of $3.50, dated Dec. II, 1885, on
four months time, signed by each. The note was
Endorsed by Hill to this defend ant, James w:
Libby who also Endorsed the same and procured
its discount at the National Traders Bank, at
Portland. The note became due and the PLAIN
tiffs at the request of the defendant, sent their
check to the bank for the face of the note but the
check failed to arrive at the bank until the note
had been dshonored and regularly protested.
The check was then received and accepted by
the bank. The defendant, who had lndorsed the
note paid the notaral fees and took 1t from the
bank The plaintiffs then demanded the posses,
sion Of the note without rendering the nOtarial
fees and the defendant refused to surrender 1t
without payment of the costs OF the protest. Sub
sequent TO the demand for the note, and prior TO
the commencement of this suit the defendant IN,
dorsed on the back thereof the amount received
and accepted by the bank, namely the face OF the
note The question presented to the court was,
then whether the note can be legally held by Inc
defendant until the notarial fees are paid
