Ii is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson X Co. Portland.
Maine. The reason Of this exceptional
success is found in the fact that they
always give the public that which is
keenly appreciated and at prices that all
can afford. At present we understand
their agents are doing wonderfully well
on several new lines. They need many
more agents in all parts OF the country.
Those who need profitable work should
apply 1t once. Women do as well as
men. Experience ia not necessary. for
Messrs. Stinson & Co. undertake to show
all who are willing To work, not hard
but earnestly, the path To large success.
IL should be remembered that an agent
can do a handsome business without
being away from home over night. An
other advantage costs nothing 10
give the business a trial. and an agent
can devote all his time. or only his spare
moments TO il. Stinson & Co. guara ntee
grand success to all who engage and
follow simple and plain directions that
they give. We have not space To ok
plain all here. but full particulars will be
sent free TO those who address the firm:

Special To the PAL.TKA News:
SANFORD. Dec 6. 1856.
The jury in the celebrated Newton
murder trial, which has been in progress
at Enterprise for the past week or two.
returned a verdict of acquittai. This
verdict is surprise to the public. as.
notwithstanding the evidence was purely
circumstautial. il was so woven together
that NewtOns conviction was regarded
"a almost certain. Hon. r.. W. Davis,
in his closing argument for the
defense, made one of the most powerful
and logical arguments ever delivered IN
this section of the State, and captured
the Jury "a well as all who listened 10
him.
immediately on being discharged New
tons friends gave him ride through the
streets, in carriage drawn by four
horses. After four years in Jail. for a
crime of which he has been declared IN
noceut by a jury, he no doubt enjoyed
this ride in the free air more than any
other in his life.
Gen. Sanford will arrive here to-mor-
row, when he will be met nv the band
and grand banquet will he given al
night in his honor.
IL is very cold here to-day. but Their,
are no apprehensions of a freeze.

Mr.. L. H. Shields, OF Norfolk, Va, is
in the city. He has been out on Buf-
ialo few days looking after his inter
ests there. Mr.. Shields is very much
interested in the building Of the c., G.
& G. railroad, and has cheerfully Civ.
en- the right Of way through his prop
erty. He expressed great surprise on
hearing Of the trouble with some Of
the land owners over the right Of way,
and thought it hardly possible for any
one to so stand in their own light.
He has no more interest in the road
and will receive no more benefit from
the building of it than any other land
owner along the line, and yet he is
willing for them to use any portion of
his farm they choose. We hope the
people will soon realize that they are
not doing the right Of way man per.
sonal favor, but, by granting the priv
ilege, they are increasing their advan
tages to place upon the market theil
timber and farm products, and are
not only adding to their own prosper
ity but their children will also bt

this road.
