Richmond is becoming metropolitan. Four
burglaries were committed in that village in
one night On Wednesday night last burglars
entered the grocery store of John Toothaker
at the north end of the VILLAGE, and took
what scrip and coppers they could find,
and spilled barrel of vinegar and destroyed
other articles of merchandise. They en-
tered the store of Carlton Houdlette, took
about five dollars in scrip, lot of pocket
knives, and failed in their attempt to force
the safe. They entered the barber shop of
J. Griffin, and the Selectmens office, beth
over Houdletts store. They finally broke
into the ticket Office at the depot, and took
one or two tickets. The whole affair was
planned and executed evidently with a view
to obtain money. Though no arrests have
yet been made, the parties have been spotted.

The Municipal Election.

There was no excitement at the polls yeste''
terday and the vote cast in the city, exclusive
of the Islands, is 419 less than it was last year
Mr.. Kingsbury's plurality in this city last year
over Mr.. Putnam was $780, and over all 225
This year bis plurality over Mr.. Emery is 1892
and over all 1885, The Islands had not been
heard from at 10 o'clock, but is said they will
give small Republican plurality. Mr.. Ire
fethren, the Republican candidate for Alder
man in Ward 1, was said to be % ahead on the
Islands at o'clock, and he may be elected, as
the Democratic candidate had only SO plurality
in the city. The Republicans carry four Wards
entire, thus securing the ascendency in both
branches Of the City Government. The Re-
publicans having elected straight tickets in the
four Wards, they now have things in their
own way, and upon the Republican party will
fall the responsibility of the acts of the NUM-
cipal government. We give the vote for May
or and the names of the several officers elect

frain from publishing the returns until to-mor-

GRIEF, EXCESSIVE ANXIETY, or Prolonged
Study will produce infrmity of the Nervous
System. In proportion as the strength OF that
system is expended upon the mind in troubled
thought go are the organs of digestion, assimi-
lation and nutrition rendered inactive and
sluggish in proportion as the system becomes
infrm. Every individual has some one organ
weaker than the rest, and this is always the
first to suffer during nervous prostration; for
example, affecting news sometimes causes to-
tai suspension of the muscular action of the
heart, when the patient is debilitated, produc-
ing sudden hemorrage and death. No doubt
any longer remains of the practcabilty of re-
storing the nervous system, and through the
nerves and muscles of the impaired organs
FELLOWS COMPOUND SYRUP OF HYPoPHos-
PHrrEs has been proved to possess such power
in numerous instances. 1t will impair strength
to overcome trouble or affection. Persons
who are accustomed to look npon the dark side
and who see no pleasure in living, ON using
this Syrup soon learn to value and enjoy life,
and those who study deeply or during long
hours will find in the Syrup promoter of the
power of endurance in the brain.

than any of the artists that had appeared there
this winter, and they had listened to nearly all
Of any repute, in Boston and vicinity. "Mr.
Kotzschmar," he says" does not consider dance
music organ music, or that the overture to
Tampa, and other like music is to be played
simply because it suits the popular ear. He
believes in so rendering the best things of Bach
and other great masters that the people shall
be pleased with it, be surprised to hear who the
composer was, and that the classical bug-bear
IS no longer bug-bear." An effort is being
made to get the committee to invite Mr.. Kotz-
schmar to give an organ recital 10 that city.
