thrown open and the man OF the house, Car
penter, would appear on the scene, ranting and
swearing, unable to control himself for anger at
such goings-on in his house Then the woman
would fall to weeping and beg of him to settle
rather than expose her, asking how much money
he would take to hush the matter up. After a
little consideration he would conclude that
hundred dollars would do; she would then pro-
duce fifty as her part, and of course, the victim
of misplaced confidence would "come down"
with his fifty, or security for the same. There
is good reason to believe that this trick has been
practiced many times, and probably one or two
instances will be proved beyond doubt this
morning. This is the same house where the
accomplice of the boys who robbed Story's
iewclry store was found with some of the booty
n her trunk.

TEACHERS MEETING.-The regular monthly
meeting of the teachers association was held
at the high school on Saturday afternoon, Mr..
Z, S, Mason presiding. Superintendent Marble
announced that by the liberality OF the school
board, he had been enabled to arrange with
Professor Gladwin to give the teachers a course
of ten lessons on drawing, with especial refer
ence to the instruction to be given in school.
After consulting the preferences of those present
in regard to time, it was announced that the
first lesson would be given next Wednesday
afternoon. The subject of military drill was
taken up and warmly discussed by Messrs.
Foster, Adams; Comins, Harrington and others.
All seemed to unite in commencing the intro
duction of physical exercises, but upon the
propriety of supplementing these by military
drill there was much diversity of opinion. The
lessons of Professor Monroe were highly com
mended and desire expressed that his iastruc-
tons should be continued at the earliest oppol-
tunity.
Mr.. C. C. Foster was elected president and
Miss Mary F. Reed vice-president of the associa-
ton for the ensuing term.

CAPT. CALEB DANA, for the last twenty-five
years a resident of this city, and one of our
most respected citizens, died very suddenly at
his residence yesterday morning about six
O'Clock, of apoplexy, at tie age of 70 years.
He had been in his usual health OF late, and
attended to his customary business on Satur-
day, returning home at the ordinary hour for
tea in the evening, when he was suddenly taken
with an apoplectic fit and remained insensible
till his death, about twelve hours after. Dr..
Clarke attended him, but all medical remedies
proved unavailing to arouse him.
Capt. Dana was a native of Princeton, where
he resided till he came to this city, in 1886. He
was for several years commander of the old
Princeton Light Infantry, and filled many posi-
tons in town affairs. He was also clerk of the
Boston, Barre and Gardner railroad under its
original charter, many years ago He was clerk
of the Old South church in this city for twenty
years after coming here, and was several years
one of the deacons. For the last fifteen years
he was clerk and business agent for Hon. Isaac
Davis.
Capt. Dana leaves wife, daughter and one
son, John A. Dana, Esq, assistant clerk of the
courts. The Goth day of this month would have
been the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage.

Observation-Disclosures and low-ived
trickery are not monopolized by New York ana
the other larger cities, as shown by a recent de-
velopment here Lafayette Carpenter and Julia
F. Williams were arrested Saturday night and
lodged in the station house on charge of eX-
tortion; and from the light thrown on the case
by what is already known, it seems to be extor-
ton OF no trivial character. Carpenter lives al
No. 20 Portland street, and the Williams woman
hires room in his house, which seems to have
been made very profitable to the two parties
named, and very improbable to various other
parties, whose names will probably never ap-
pear.
This designing woman piled her articles conc
time too many" and came to grief; and, if the
facts as they appear are sustained at the trial
this morning, both the woman and CARPENTER
will have covered themselves with infamv
enough to last the remainder of their lives. II
seems that she has been in the practice of form
ing the acquaintance OF men whom she knew to
be possessed of some money-say enough to paw
dear rather than have their characters damaged
and by her cunning enticing them to accom-
pany her to her room. When there she would
lock the door, put the key in her pocket, and,
assuring her visitor that there could be no in
trusion, would entreat him to "make himself at
home" and fear nothing.
Shortly after, a side door would suddenly be

ESPECIAL DISPATCH To THE WORCESTER spy
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1871-03-06

REV. A., MCKEowN, of the Main street Method
ist church, worshipping in Washburn hall,
preached a discourse yesterday forenoon, in
which he made some references to Mr. Denton's
address at the funeral of Mr.. Howes He TOOK
his text from Tim, 1, IS: This is faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sin
ners, of whom 1 am chief" After remarking
that he felt it to be his duty as a Christian
minister to notice the infdelity that is rife in
our midst, Mr.. MeKeown proceeded to discuss
three propositions: list. Have we a Saviour?
I'd. If so, from what does he save us2
3d. How does he save us2 Under the sec
ond head, he said that if there is no hell,
the term Saviour. is emptied of all signif-
canoe; His crown, as deliverer of the race
from death and hell, drops from his brow.
The hallelujahs to his name are hushed through
out the universe. Under the third head, how
men were to be saved, he argued that Christ
was indeed the scapegoat for human guilt,
and that not to believe it was indeed to be an
intidel. For it was the doctrine which per-
meated the Bible throughout. He said the Wor-
cester pulpit which rejects this doctrine pre-
pared the way for Mr. Denton; that the scene
in Horticultural hal last Tuesday was largely
chargeable to them; that Dentonism is all these
other heresies gone to seed. Mr. McKeown con
cluded his discourse by charging upon his
views on the sacrifcial nature of Christ's death.
The announcement that he would refer to Mr.
Denton's remarks, drew out a large audience

A Cure for Dyspepsia.

In the Gazette HebdOmadaire, DR.. Con
taret recommends for the form of dyspep-
tia in which there is difficulty in the di-
gestion of starchy articles of food, the use
of the nitrogeAous substance developed in
buds and grains during their termination,
and known as diGStaSs or mdItine This
substance, as is generally known, induces
in hydrated starch the process OF catalysis,
by which tits converted into dextrine and
giucose-the forms which all starch and
sugar must assume before they are fitted
for nutrition. The organic matter con-
tanned in the mixed saliva, and the fluids
of the small intestines, are, in health, suf-
ficient to establish this process; but, In a
condition of the ailmentary tract charac-
terized by alteration or deficiency of saliva
or intestinal jucies, this substance prom.
ises TO do for starch and sugar in intestinal
digestion what pepsine does for the albu-
minoid articles of food. He employees the
remedy in doses of two to six grains after
each meal, and says that 1t never acts pre-
judicially on the digestive organs.

COUNT OVER THE MERCIEs. the
mercies which have been quietly falling
in your history. Down they come, every
morning and evening, as the angel mes
sengers from the Father of Heaven. Have
you lived these years wasting mercies, re-
newing them every day, and never yet
realizing whence they cameP Ifyou have,
Heaven pity syou. You have murmured
under Affections, but who heard you re-
joice over blessings? Ask the sunbeam,
the rain drop, the star, or the queen of the
night. What is life but mercy9 What is
health, strength, friendship, social life
Had each the power of speech each would
say, "I am mercy" Perhaps you have
never regarded them as such. If not, you
have been a poor student of nature and
revelation. What is the propriety of
stopping to play with thorn bush when
you may just as well pluck sweet flowers
and eat pleasant fruits? .s .t,,,4.

THE FIGURE FIvE.-Any number of
figures you may wish to multiply by
will give the same result if divided by 2,
a much quicker operation; but you must
remember to annex cipher to the answer,
when there is no remainder; and when
there is a remainder, annex to the
answer. Multiply AGA by 8, and the answer
will be 1890; divide the same number by
2, and you have 23S, and, as there is no re-
mainder, you add a cipher, Now take
347, and multiply by 8, the answer is / 1856
On dividing 357 by 2, there is 17s, and a
remainder you then place at the end
of the result, which gives 1855. The
reason of this process is obvious, since
multiplying by is the same as multiply
ing by 10 (which is effected by placing a
ciphei to the right of the units place. and
