In reply to your enquiries have to say that,
after using Ransom's KNUoKLE WASHER for a
twelvemonth or so, it is the unanimous opinion
of the members of my family, that enough has
not been said in its favor; that it improves on
acquaintance month after month, and that to
say all in word they find it to be indispensa-

of all praise for its efficiency and simplicity,

PORTLAND AND NAsHUA.-The city of Port
land is moving in earnest in favor of furnish
ing aid to the amount of 5 per cent of her val
uation ($24O, OOO) in aid of the construction of
the Rochester and Nashua railroad. The
present Mayor was selected both on account of
his earnest convictions in favor of this enter
prise, and for his open declarations in favor of
the city's granting aid for the building of this
road. He received two hundred more votes
than the Republican ticket from the friends of
the road belonging to the Democratic organi-
cation. He has called the attention of the city
government to the importance of this railroad
in his inaugural Of last week. We understand
from the Nashua paper that there was an in
formal meeting of the city government Tues
day evening, and by invitation a committee of
the Directors of the Portland and Rochester
road was present, and laid before them the re-
lations of the Portland and Rochester railroad
to this ENTERPRISE.

MRS. MANcHEsrER.-There are many per-
sons in this city who will welcome Mrs. Man
chester back 10 the city, for her remarkable
curative powers have not only earned for her
the gratitude OF her patients, but established for
her reputation such as never, we think. has
been obtained by any other female physician
in New England. 1t has not been this lady's
custom to avail herself, to any great extent of
the testimonials which she has of her successes.
preferring that one or two should attest to her
ability, and leave the rest to be told by those
she has benefited. She could produce we are
assured, volume of certificates, which could
be laid before the public Her powers as a
clairvoyant are superior, and this and her ma
ture Judgment in the administration of medi-
cines are the secret of her success.
ONE hundred years ago the now celebrated
Plantation Bitters were as well known in the
West Indies as they are now known in the
United States. 1t is true that they were not
known by that name, but their components
and manner of manufacturing were the same
save that there has been added Calisaya or
Peruvian bark, celebrated the world over for
its wonderful tonic properties Even to this
day these Bitters are popular as ever, and their
sale and use on these islands is constantly in
creasing, and there can hardly family be
found, rich or poor, who is without them We
do not wish to impute any wrong to the Amer
lean proprietors of these Bitters, but that they
are the Originat0rs, we most stoutly deny, and
they must take such umbrage at it as they
please. At the same time we take this occa-
sion to say that more valuable tonic Bitters
cannot be found in all the world. We consider
them just the thing for weak and delicate fe-
males, and all those requiring mild and gen.
