Ruth is Gone.

God, in His wisdom and power, has
taken from our home our darling babe.
We had but little warning, until the
Death Angel relieved her suffering, and
her spirit took its fight to the God who
gave it. Our home is lonely''and sad, yet
we realize we have something to lead US

our hearts are broken, we can saw, "Not
my will, but Thine, be done" Her sui

trouble, and gone to live with Jesus;
and soon father and mother will meet
her, where sickness and death cannot
come, to be with her through all eterni-

THE G. W. PIERCE TRIAL.
Hon. n. N. Heath Of Augusta. Has Been En-.
gagged to Defend Him.

A special to the Argus from Lewiston,
says:
The trial Of George w. Pierce of this
city, on the charges of criminal libel and
attempted murder, which will come up
at the April term of court, will have an
added interest from the fact that Hon.
Herbert NJ Heath of Augusta, the noted
criminal lawyer, has been engaged by
Mr.. Pierce To conduct his defence in con-
junction with Hon. Tascus Atwood of
Auburn.
Mr.. Heath has been in Auburn and had
long conference with Mr.. Pierce at the
Jail i'll that city. where ne has been con-
fined since his arrest several weeks ago.
Mr.. Heath is not yet prepared to say
much concerning the case, but il may be
said that most interesting defence Will
be put up by Mr.. Atwood and himself.
The story Of the charges against Pierce
has been published in all their details.
and are well known to include the at
tempted murder of eX-Mayor Newell and
Judge Cornish, and in addition includes
criminal libels against several leading
citizens.
There will be notable array of wit
ncsSes at the trial, among whom may be
mentioned Governor Powers. Speaker
Stetson and others. either in person or by
deposition. for the purpose of showing
that certain letters which pretended TO
come from them and addressed 10 diner
ent citizens Of Lewiston were not writ
ten by them. The charge is that Pierce
was the author of these letters.
Ii Will also be endeavored to show that
the poisoned candy. sugar and whiskey
sent TO different individuals were so sent
by Pierce with the intention of causing
the death of Messrs. Newell and Cornish.
Witnesses will come from New York,
Boston and elsewhere to testify against
him in connection with the numerous
charges which have been preferred.
The statement has been made that Mr..
Pierce might plead guilty 10 the charges,
that his sentence would not be
so severe as if found guilty. but the fact
that Mr.. Heath has been engaged in his
defence exploded that idea
