ago, and has been working in Gray's shop on
Central street as a screw maker, for S1.25 per

money since he has been here, much more so
than his wages would warrant, and when ar
rested had about $50 in his several pockets, be-
sides two watches, which he bought at a store
here for $50. He says his home is in Windham

To THE REPUBLICANS OF WoRcEsTER.-The
republican city committee on Saturday issued
the following timely appeal:
To the Republicans Of Worcester. 1t is well
understood that large number OF persons have
been naturalized during the past year, and that
the democratic party of this city are making
preparations to bring out their entire vote, with
view of defeating part of the republican
candidates at the annual election. For the ac-
cOmpliShment Of this end attempts have al
ready been made to control, by outside intiu-
ences, the deliberations of the conventions of
the labor reform party, and to rouse the local
prejudiceS of a portion of our citizens. I'm
pOrtant interests of our city, particularly the eX
tension Of the Barre and Gardner railroad, are
thus endangered by this adroit attempt to Sc
cure the election of men not in sympathy with
the views and interests of the people of WOrceS
ter.
1t therefore becomes the imperative duty of
every republican to give his vote at The election,
and TO aid by every legitimate means in his
power in securing the triumph of the entire re-
publican ticket. Rally then, fellow republicans
al the polls next Tuesday, and thus prevent our
city from being msrGpreSented in its principles
and in its most important local interests.
EXHIBITION OF FERNERIEs.-This unique
exhibition opens tomorrow evening, and the
committee are DESTROYS to know rs soon as pos
sible the number OF lerneries, hanging baskets
and designs in ferns and MOSES they are to
have sent in. Apart from the chance of pre-
MUM it is hoped and expected that all who have
any Of the articles called for will be willing to
assist the association in their efforts to carry on
so valuable and useful an institution in this
city as to send them in for exhibition. The COM
mttee expect to have on sale fern cases, (either
stocked or mott; also MOSES, etc, arranged for
display in the parlor. The large aquaria owned
by the association has been started again and
will be on exhibition in connection with the
many thousand specimens in the cabinet.

ness, and should receive the hearty sympathy
