A SINGULAR CASE OF Ixposrr,os.--sone year

A SINGULAR CASE OF IMPOSITION. year or two since @ man named Nichols was found on one of the town roads in Hillsbore', N. H., apparently fatally injured by the overturning of his wagon, in consequence of defect in tAe highway. He was taken mp and carried to house, where every effort was made to restore him to consciousness, but for several days without apparent success. After while, how. ever his mind was restored, but his bodily condition was SO critical that no hope of his recovery was entertained. Thus he law for weeks without amendment. In the meantime he commenced a suit against the town, laying his damages at SEQ 900. Medical experts were sent on in behalf of the town to examine the man, who all agreed that he could not recover, and the town compromised the case by paying him 5000. Shortly after, man was found in neighboring town under very similar cir cumstances, though not apparently SO badly in. Jured. The town authorities remembering the HillsborO' case hasteDed to compromise the matter. paying him $6O. Another town, not far distant, was mulcted in like sum by the means, at about the same time. Still another town was called upon to respond to a similar claim, when it was discovered that the sufferer in each case was the man Nichols who had made so heavy draft upon the town of Hills bOro' The Selectmen of the latter town have now commenced a suit against Nichols for the recovery of the three thousand dollars paid to him. on the ground that the case was an i'm position and the money obtained under false pretenses.-Boston Journal.

 My dear, are you not afraid 2 How is 1t possible you can be SO calm in such dreadful storm ["
 He rose from his chair, dashed it 10 the deck; drew his sword, and pointing it at the breast of his wife, exclaimed
 Are you afraid ?"
 She immediately answerd, "No"
 "Whyf" said the officer.
 Because" rejoi6ed his wife, II know this sword is in the hands of my husband and he loves me too well to hurt me-"
 "Then," said he, II know in whom believe, and that he who holds the winds In his fists, and the waters in the hollow ef his hands, is my Father"

A FEW WORDS ABOUT
SPECTACLES-- TESTIMONY
OF THOMAS STEELE & GO.
HARTFORD, CONN.

We do not wish or intend to harm any one who may be doing an honora- ble, legitimate business, but when the public are deceived by false statements and iuduced to purchase articles at enormous prices under mistaken i'm pressions, we think that they (the pub lic) should know the facts in the case.
 We know of case of poor young man about 20 years of age, who has always been near-sighted and conse- quently required concave glasses, but on application to these learned occu- lists he received instead a pair of con vex glasses in steel frames at $2,50, which were suitable for an old man f6O years. We presume they e:caneaned his eye aCith one of thei1' glasses before they gave him the specs, then told him they were all right and that he must take them, that he could not judge for him. self whether he could see well or not.
 This is only one among many instan- ces we might mention. We could, if we choose, procure the names of large number of very respectable people who would bear testimony that the state ments we make are true in every par ticular, and that the humbug is even greater than we assert it to be.
 Furthermore, we have procured a quantity of the
 Celebrated Perfected Lenses. about which so much has been said, sold by parties in town at $2.50 a pair, which we
