A Tried Remedy for RiIiOusnesa

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction
of the liver will never get the upper hand of
the unruly organ so long as they use such
irrational remedies as blue pill, calomel and
podophyllin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
may expect relief with certainty of obtain
ing it. The influence of the Btters upon the
great hillary gland is direct, powerful and
speedily felt. The relief afforded is not spas
modic, but complete and permanent. The
sallowness of the skin, furred appearance of
the tongue. indigestion, costveness. head.
ache, nausea. pains through the right side
and shoulder. in fact every accompaniment OF
the obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by course of this inesti.
mable medicine, 10 behalf of which testimo
ny is constantly emanating from every quar-
ter, and from all classes of society.

THE New ENGLAND Fair.

The preparations thus far made for the

Bangor, exceed those of any other exhibition
ever given in Maine or in New England.
Never before was work on the grounds, in the
way of erecting tents and booths and the
placing of the horses in comfortable quarters,
so far advanced two DAYS before the fair as
on Saturday night. There is a great amount
of stock on the grounds. The cattle COM
menced arriving on the regular trains Satur-
day, Specials at 100 Saturday evening and
30 Yesterday morning were very heavily
loaded. and this afternoon two other stock
trains will arrive, besides the large amount
that will come on the regulars That this far
exceeds the expectations of the managers
NAV be inferred from the fact that one special
stock train which was sure to arrive here at
one O'Clock this afternoon was all that would
be needed, it was thought, besides the fine

Living on Yachts.

There must be large semi fashionable floating population around New York during the summer season. All over ths harbor and up the sound, as far aa Greenwich, you will find yachts, varying from $500 sloops to $50, 900 schooners, anchored in quiet bights and inlets, and serving as lodgings for thclr owners and their owners families. On the larger vessels men and women live, sailing from place to place as the humor catches them. On the smaller ones bachelor parties hold merry revel. These latter are nearly always young men in business in the city, who attend to their occupa- tions by day, and go cruising from Satur. day till Monday. Many of these merely lease yacht for the season. They Keep the pantry full of cold meats and easily prepared canned stuff, and take their able bodied meals ashore. One seaman serves to help them sail their craft and to take care of it when they are ill tho city. It does not cost them much, if anything, more than to pay room rent and board ashore, and they have great more fun while the temperature is high. --M F. Neaoc
