For several years there have been two
societies composed of descendants of the
Revolution, viz: the Sons of the Revolu-
ton and the Sons of the American
Revolution. Our Maine society at its
organization affiliated with the latter on
account of it's national character. For
some time movement has been in
progress for the union of these two
societies, and the movement has adj
vanced so far that it's success is secured.
About year ago conference commit
tee was appointed by both societies to
consider the subject Of union. The two
committees have agreed not only on the
desirability of union, but have recon-
mended union, and a meeting of the two
societies has been called in New York
on Thursday, Feb. 10Th, at half past ten
O'Clock a. M, to take action upon the
report, and in case of it's adoption, to
perfect the union of the two societies,
adopt a new constitution, and elect the
general officers of the united society.

has rendered the use of it's rooms, 80

Mr.. Frank Pierce, the well-known
Portland singer, yesterday underwent
surgical operation for relief from a case
of appendicitis. Two or three week s
ago he was attacked suddenly while at
church with pain which he thought at
the time was the result of indigestion.
But it did not yield rapidly to treat
ment, and after time it became appar-
ent that there was a trouble with the
vermiform appendix. AS the last re-
source an operation was determined up
on, and it was performed yesterday fore
noon. The surgeons found that the ver-
inform appendix-that small and APP
parently useless branch of the small in
testine which forms veritable sack
in which hard substances sometimes
become confined with dangerous results
was badly diseased. 1t was impossi-
BILE to tell whether this trouble had been
occasioned by foreign substance like a
seed, becoming lodged in the appendix,
since the little sack had entirely ulcera-
ted away, and best es there had formed
an abscess as large as two English wal
nuts Although this constituted what
would be considered very bad case of
the disease, Mr.. Pierce stood the opera
ton very well indeed, and last evening
was getting along well with fair pros
poets of ultimate recovery.
Conductor Micheal Healy, who was
operated on at the Nome. General Hos
pital for the same trouble several weeks
ago. is progressing very nicely and seems
to be out of danger.

JAMES s. MARRETT, Supt.
To my Customers and the Public IN
general:
Having just finished the work of stock
taking, and after critical examination
of all the patterns of our immense stock
of carpets, find a number of designs
which have been dropped from the looms
and will not be produced by the factories
any more, which must be moved in order
to make room for the new stock of spring
goods which we shall shortly 60 into the
market to secure.
Among these carpets are number of
patterns of best quality, five-frame body
Brussels which we will close out at from
IS cents to $1.00 per yard.
At these prices am safe in saying that
no better bargain was ever offered in the
carpet line to the people of Portland.
These are not shopworn or damaged
goods in any particular and all of them
are desirable patterns.
We shall commence the sale at the
above prices, for cash only, on Saturday,
January 18th.
The number of carpets in quite limited,
and it will be well to callearly and obtain
the advantage of a first selection.
Respectfully,
JAMES S. MARRETT.
