Even the mort careful and anxious
parents sometimes make fatal mistakes.
We regret to learn of the death of a lit
tle ehild in this city a short time ago
who came to its death by a mistake made
by its doting maternal grandmother. The
little one was sick and its grandparent
thought she would give it a dose of ca?
tor oiL but, alas! a fatal mistake was
made. The wrong bottle was taken ap
and the medicine poured out and , given
to the little sufferer which threw iftnto
spasms immediately and caused its death
two days after.

The stockholders of the Natassa

The following officers were re-eieoted
for the ensuing: year:
President Hon. B. E. Bridgers,

Wm. L. DeRosset.
Directors R. R. Bridgers, Edward

The Treasurer's report exhibited a fa
rorable condition of the business of the
Company and satisfactory results from
their rice planting interests.
We learn that the Company have
doubled their capacity for the manufac
ture of sulphuric acid, and are now ready
to furnish a much larger supply of their
justly popular fertilizers. It gives as
much pleasure to chronicle the success of
the Company. It has done much to de
velop this city and revive the rice plant
ing interest in this section.

The Maine Non-Forfeiture Law car-
ries more equity into life insurance than
any State law under which companies
are organized. The Union Mutual Life

in its palicy the detailed application of
the law to individual contracts. Send

Return vt Letters m Transit to
Bandars.
The last number of -the postoffice
Bulletin contains the following writing of
the postoffice department, as it is now
amended, in relation to the return of let
ters in transit to senders. This is a
matter of importance to the public :
"After a letter or any other article of
mail matter has passed from the mailing
postoffice, the delivery of the same can
not be delayed or its return to writer se
cured, except upon the application of the
sender to the Postmaster-General statirg
the imperative necessity therefor and
identifying the matter. The application,
with all the proof accompanying it,
should then be forwarded by the local
postmaster, but only when he can endorse
the AnrklicAtion. and a sum haa been de
positee! with him Euifici4& to pay for
the dispatch of the application and other
necessary telegraphic messages, etc. ; all
expenses to be paid therefrom, whether
the annlic&tion be successful or not. It
must be understood that such application
will only be granted when the proof ac
companying the application is conclusive
of identity, and the emergency justifies
the'efercise of a reserved power, never
to be resorted to where there is any
other remedy ; and valso that the inter
ference of the Postmaster-General will
be absolutely restricted to letters, or
matter prepaid at letter rates."
We advise all to need of Household Hard
ware to first go to ACOTlV. There you get
The Ciy Clock.
We learn that the city clock is fast be
ing ruioed by exposure to the weather.
Mr.. Honnet, who haa the contract to
keep it in order, tells us that unless
something is done to protect it lrom the
rain, dews and dust it will soon be
useless. He says that the works of the
clock should be encased in a box as near
air-tight' as potMible. He farther says
that the dews . a nd rains which fall
through the latticed windows iq the
tower of the church beat directlv on the
works and that he goes to the clock
tjwertvfo or three times a week to oil it
up in order to keep the rust from stop
ping it. His contract only requires him
to go once a week. He farther states
that the clock is never wrong, either ,in
time or striking, except after a storm. It
strikes us that it would be economy on
the part of the city to adopt Mr. Bon
net's suggestions.
The only Company that issues a policy
at ordinary life rates,' payable at death
or .isrc 85, is the Union Mutual Life Ic
surauce Company of Maine.

Hxt Wednesday. '
JAs we announced yesterday Miss Fanny
Davenport will appear in this city ou
Wednesday evening next, the 15th inst.
in her new play of "An American Girl,"
written by Anna Dickinson, supported
by a company of rare merit. The piece
has just finished a run of 6ix weeks at
the Fifth Avenua Theatre, where it has
drawn enormous houses. It will bo pro
duced with great attention to detail both
as regards scenery and costumes. The
Tribune says Miss Davenport's render
ing of the chief, character brought out
its contrasts in the strongest possible
light, and her action, especially in the
third act, was boldly dramatic.
Seeing Is believing without doubt you
can buy Cooking and Heating StOTet at al

The Coon Club.
- The Coon Club indulged in a hunt on
Wednesday night. Owing to the scar;
city of coons or, rather, to the fact that
it was intimated in the hearing of the
dogs that the president and their keeper
had joiceiMr. Bergh's society toprcvent
cruelty to animals, the sagacious canines
refused to take the trail and the Coon
Club camo back minos game. Dunck
said it wa'nt Wright and would catch a
coon next hunt if it took a Carr load of
dogs. Thejnembers Pat-tcd and en
cored him and by a rising vote required
the Secretary to spread the speech upon
the minutes of the Club.
