Friday last was the sixty -sevenlkl birth
day Of Mr.. A. ID. Brown of fetAland,
formerly of Norridgswock, and II was
fitlngly observed at the family residence
on Spring street in that delightful city.
The following day, Saturday. June 20 f,
WAS the anniversary Of the marriage Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, which occurred at
Norridgswock thlrty-ssven years ago.
The occasion Was celebrated by dinner
at the Qulnnebasset Hotel. Norridgswock,
given to the friends Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown In that town and including a few
friends from Skowhegan.
Unfortunately Ar. Browns health was
such that hs was prevented from leaving
his home in Portland, . circumstance
deeply regretted by all present.
Mrs. Brown and her daughter, Mrs.
rockingham cordially received their
guests in the parlors of the Quinnebasse,
at l.30 P. M, after which they. to the
number Of nearly so, sat down to q
sumptuous repast, such as Landlord
Reece has well earned reputation for
placing before guests. Grace WAS said
by Parson Tappan 30 long the popular and
faithful pastor in Norridgewock.
The company WAS congenlal and
pleasant one, made up largely Of the rel
atives, and, In certain sense old friends
Of Mr., and Mrs. Brown. After dinner
an hour WAS spent socially In the parlors
NoIridgewock cornet band was In at
tendance lending the charm of music To
the occasion.
The day was q fine, cool one, rendered
more enjoyable by reason OF the rarity OF
such days this season, and Mr.. Browns
enforced absence was the only circum-
stance to detract from the highest enjoy
ment.

A New Departure

Is fast taking form opposite Hotel
Coburn and the new Library Building In
DR.. Conants Sanitarium. Unlike any
Hospital or SanitArium ever instituted,
this magnificent structure for the relief
Of invalids, is without . medical dispen.
sary, but amply supplied with Compound
vapor for disinfecting the human blood
and tissues by luxurious fumigation. We
have witnessed too much Of the results
from this treatment In Skowhegsn the
past eleven years, to longer contest tho
claims Of Its Inventor. The Block now
taking on symmetrical form has an out
look without an equal, as from back
windows is the most gorgeous view of
the majestic waterfall tU be witnessed this
side Of Niagara. The block Is four
stories on the back, two ON the front,
with fifty feet frontage and = beautiful
tower overlooking surrounding country.
The lower basement win be devoted to
laundry and boiler room. Tho next will
be dining room, kitchen. pantry, etc
The dining room deserves special men,
tion as 1t overlooks the falls, and in tn.
hottest weather balmy breeze ID fam d
up to invigorate the appetite while feasting
the eyes Of ~ most puny invalid. Tho
hrst floor from street IL divided into
reception room, parlors, bath rooms, con-
sultatlen office. shipping office and store.
The second story Ia divided into sleeping
apartments where al may quietly slum-
Der to the music of the downfall Of water
on old Kennebec. The entrance to the
tower will be easy Of access, and the
view of surrounding scenery must be
witnessed to be- realized as 1t 10 beggars
description By. pen.
Eleven long years has the inventor of
this method, (Which at first received not q
kind word but liberal shower Of SCOTS
and jssrs,) had this beautiful structure
photographed In his mind. but now be-
holds his ideal standing upon \ substanti-
al granite foundation.
This new departure must be of vast In
terest to invalids suffering from rheuma-
tism. neuralgia. catarrh and all manifesta-
ons Of v.t'ated blood. DR.. Conant will
be contracted with bond Of indemnity to
those who doubt his ability to disinfeet
the. system Of elements which induce
physical disease. This entire block will
be dedicated to the relief Of the distressed
aud such q home for invalids 10 seldom
found.

Independence Day

Again the anniversary Of our Nations
birthday comes around, the day that
marks the Hath, the year Of our Nations
existence and 1t is fitting that we should
give It more than passing thought.
Tho day will ever be held as that on
which one Of the greatest events of his
tory transpired. 1t was not the triumph
Of armed forces over q foreign foe but
one In which the principles of liberty
were asserted and Independence from the
despotism Of q monarch proclaimed. 1t
took courage of a high order to make
the declaration and 1t is we'll that our
people had men of sterling manhood and
sublime faith. men Of intellect and heroic
fortitude to make this proclamation en-
bodying the principles for which seven
long years Of war was waged involving
heroic sacrifices and patient suffering al
most beyond that endured by any other
people.
The men who did the work realizing
the gravity Of the occasion and its trans
cendent import to the Nation to be, and
invoking divine aid took the step with
. lofty courage that inspired the armies
in the field and the people. Thus has the
imnort.nce Of the event been recopn,zed
bv celebration of the day through more
than a century and. it will bs remembered
oener.t,ons hence. while our country re-.
m.,ns the briphte,t exampls of uovern.
