MRS. NJ. T.. ANDREWS,
Mi ltnery and Fancy Good

1t gives US pleasure to call the attention of
our fair readers to the closing out of the
summer stock Of millinery and fancy goods
to be found at the well known establishment
Of Mrs. NJ. E. Andrews, No. 104 Water St.
Probable no line of trade requires for its sue
cessful prosecution so much care in tho Sc
lection of goods to meet the demands OF a
critical public, or the exercise of so much
good judgment so as to be able to suit all
classes and ideas, and we notice AZ q rule
people like to place their orders where they
can rely upon getting the best and the latest
styles, and the most reasonable prices. In
this respect this concern leads, and the stock
of hats, bonnets, flowers, velvet., laces, feath-
ers ribbons. and in fact everything relating to
the busdess is complete and comprehensive,
in style and taste it cannot be excelled, and
the class of trade which patronizes it is Of
the best and most critical. The line of fancy
goods embrace the largest as well as the fn-
est in the county, and comprises everything
in this line. You will find here gloves, cor
sets, buttons. handkerchiefs, ties. in fact
nearly everything carried in first class fancy
emporiurl. Purchasing all her goods direct
from the manufacturers and importers, she
gives to her patrons articles of the latest
mode and at prices which defy competition,
and we say to all who read this paper, be sure
and call and see for yourself.

Az we look back and see how few conven-
fences the people of former times enjoyed in

matter of surprise to US that they could take
any comfort in their mode of living. A visit
to the establishment of Messrs. c. K. h.
u. Wells, No. Z Bridges block, Water street,
Augusta, reveals to US many articles which
at the present day seem to us necessities, pro-
baby the prices have much TO do with this
feeling This is modern establishment in
all respects and the goods in each department
have been selected with great care and spe-
cial reference TO the wants of the people Of
this section. Every description of furniture

are uncommonly low. Mattresses, feather
etc., are specislty here, and any one wish
ing for goods in this line cannot afford to

work; repair sinffed furniture. and make to

thing 10 this line. Another branch of their
business is that of undertaking, and here at

In every community and among all classes
of society, one of the most painful duties
one that may devolve upou anyone with

with anguish and the mind distressed by nu-
merous and heavy responsibilities, the strong
est man and woman, and the one last sHscep-
tible to emotional arrangements, may look
with pardonable anxiety to the selection of
the proper person to discharge the necessary
duties and NAV well feel solcitous to secure
one whose taste and sympathy is of that order

A FIVE O'CLOCK BLAZE.
Mr.. Thomas Rines' Residence Destroyed
by Fire.

The alarm rung at five o'clock p. M. yes
terday resulted from the discovery of fire in
the ell and stable of Mr.. Thomas Rines,
located on Page street, back of the State
House. Several gentlemen claimed the honor
of first seeing it, but at all events there was
much delay in giving the alarm. When the
fire department arrived at SO the ell and
stable we're a mass of fame, while the main
building, a story and half structure, was
well ignted. Adjacent to and south of the
burning house was the residence of Mr.. Fred
Cyphers, and on the north that of Frank
Colby. The stable of the latter was within
three feet of the fire, and all of these build
ipgs were in imminent danger of destruction,
as well as those of Richard Norcross on the
opposite eide of the street. Cypher's stable
caught on the roof and was burning briskly
over a large area, but party of men and
boys led by Mr.. James GetchelI, and equipped
with pails, worked with energy and kept the
FIRE in check until the fire department had
water. The steamer Cushnoc was placed at
the corner of State and Capitol streets, and
the firemen with one stream of water, at
tackled the flames, at the same time wetting
down the adjacent buildings and drenching
spots where the fire had caught They sue
ceeded admirably, putting out the fire and
combining it to MIR. Rines' house which,
although the front is standing, is total loss.
Mr.. Rines' insurance on the house and stable
was $3.50; loss $1,000. H. had recently pur-
chased and moved into the house, and had
large quantity of valuable furniture, nearly
all of which were burned. This was unin-
sured and his loss on it will reach $3.50. The
loss on the houses in the vicinity was very
small, although furniture removed from sew
eral residences was injured somewhat. Roofs
of houses for blocks around caught from NY
inc cinders, but the flames were extinguished
with nails OF water and the shingles kept wet.
Mr.. and Mrs Rines were down street win
their team at the time the alarm was sounded
and no one was in the house. their children
being at a neighbors. 1t is believed that the
Are originated through an oil stove which had
been left burning in the ell.

Commission Merchant and Aucti0neer.

That branch of mercantile industry desig-
mated under the head of commission merch-
ants is very important business in New
England, and powerful auxiliary IN building
up the general interests of the country. BY
alluring produce and other goods to this city
from the producer, not only do our citizens
procure their food supplies at minimum
cost, but a considerable trade is attracted to
Augusta which under other conditions would
seek a market elsewhere. Mr. X. w. Soule.

and suctioneer business, dealing in foreign
and domestic fruit of all kinds, oranges,
bananas, straw berries and all kinds of veget-
able produce in its season. He receives his

large, reaching some days high as 100
crates. In his store is large line of auction
goc DIS, and rare bargains are to be obtained
here in many of these articles. Mr.. Soule
also attends to the sale of real estate in any
part of the county, and as he thoroughly un-
derstands this branch of his business, salts
faction is sure to be the result. He attends
to all his business personally and his valuable
experience coupled with his thorough knowl-
edge of the business gives him many advant-
ages which he promptly shares with his pat

WYMAN, WEBER & GAGE,
Manufacturers and Dealers In Doors,
Sashes and Blinds, House Finish, etc.

The time WAS when t make door or sash
with every joint perfect was considered the
acme of carpenters skill; bur house building
was on a far different scale twenty-five years
ago, compared with the present system.
With the rapid growth Of house building the
business of manufacturing doors, sash and
blinds in large quantities has become great
industry. Prominent among the enterprising
concerns in the State of Maine engaged in
this important branch Of industry, is that of
Messrs. Wyman, Weber Gage, located
on Mt. Vernon Ave-, Augusta. The demand
for windows and blinds, as well as for sash
and door has been rather light during the
spring, but the prospect for future business
is uncommonly good. The facilities at this
establishment are so excellent in all respects
as 10 enable this house to fill all orders with
great promptness, and place these goods on
the market at very low rate. Not only are
these goods manufactured here, but door and
window frames, brackets, stair-rsils. newels,
buildings and all kinds of dry pine lumber,
hard wood flooring, etc. The goods manu-
featured here, are worthy of special mention
for their durability, fine finish and careful
construction, in every respect being made
with great care from the best material the

DR. CHAs. BRYANT.
Denslse.

There are no more annoying evils than
those produced by the waste and loss of teeth
consequent either upon neglect to care for
these important portions of the human anato-
my, or their natural liability TO early decay.
In either case il oehooves all who wish to
preserve them from destruction to consult
dentist of experience upon the first premoni-
ton of such catastrophe. There are those,
however, who from various causes, have not
done this, aud find themselves nearly or quite
destitute Of any teeth. For such misnsps
dentistry in this advanced age is prepared 10
offer relief, and recent discoveries hSvr raised
the practice of this profession 10 almost
perfection. DR. Chss. Bryant, No. 40 water
street, who for number of years has been
successful practitioner, has awaited himself Of
these new discoveries as fast as they have
proved TO be practical, and is now better pre-
pared than ever to treat all troubles of the
teeth. In the manufacture of artificial teeth
he possesses excellent facilities, and looking
thoroughly after every detail personally, be-
ing courteous and polite, our readers viii find
him an excellent man with whom to do busi-
ness in anything relating TO his profession.
