( Bangor Daily Commercial, Aug. % J

Mr.. NJ. j. Ford of Bangor. formerly
manufacturer Of cigars on East Market
square. but row associated with Boston
firm, who WAS recently given a compli-
mentary supper by score of his friends,
must be credited with being one of the very
shrewd advertisers of the day.

In fact, good cigars and Mr.. Hamhn ar
firm friends, and it often happens that the
affection is such, that enc cigar will niger
with the great statesman for half day and
then may have vitality and strength enough
to afford good smoke.
Mr. Ford, not long since. was fortunate
enough to discover a new combination o.

Robbed by an Unknown ScoundreI.
Mrs. James McMillen, young,,woman
with bright looking little boy about
five years of age, was taken to the sta
ton house last night by Officers Ware
and Eanes The woman and child were
found on the Union depot platform, and
though intoxicated she told a pitiful
story. She said her husband had de-
serted her some time ago, and she had
saved enough money to go to her parents
somewhere in Delaware.
She had made all her arrangements
to start last night, having purchased a
ticket to Washington, when, according
to her story, man who had been board
ing with her induced her to drink, and
took her ticket and IS in money. A
man, unknown to any of the officers at
the station house, called and claimed
the child, but was not allowed to carry
it away. The woman and child re-
NAMED at the station house last night.
and the police are on the lookout for
the man alleged to have taken the
ticket and money, the woman having
given description of him.

Features Introduced.
At least 300 people were in attendance
at the Junior Hose Company's fair last

tcntion, and are interesting.
Last night the following contests were
inauguratcd: w. S. Thomas and James
McFall, for handsome silver trumpet;
the Vigilant Fire Company and the
Friendship Fire Company, for a silk
banner. The contest between Mr..
George Cox, travelling engineer of the
Radford division, and Robert Lemon,
travelling agent of tho Lynchburg divis-
ion, for Il silk umbrella, is very close
and interesting.
The comic Irish songs by Mr.. Wise.
of Pennsylvania, were a decided hit.
and were greatly applauded
The company proposes to introduce
new features every night. One of the
features tonight will be chalk sketches
in imitation of different nationali-
ties, and countryman's first visit to
New York city, by j. O'Keefe.
The object of the fair is to fit up old
Rorer Hall, which was recently pre-
scented to the Junior Hose Company.
