There is no pain which the Centaur Linment viii
not relieve no swelling it will not subdue, and
lameness which it will not cure. This is strong
language, but il is true. Where the parts not
gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has produced
more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock,jaw,
palsy, sprains, swelings, caked-breasts, scalds,
burns, saltrheum, ear-ache, etc, upon the human
frame, and of strains, spawn, CALLS etc, upon ami
mails, in one year than have all other pretended
remedies since the world begun. 1t is a counter.
irritant, an allhealin2 pain reliever. Cripplcs
throw away their crutches, the lame walk, poison
GUS bites are rendered harmless, and the wounded

recipe is published around each bottle. 1t is selling

CHINA, March IS, 1873.
There exists quite difference of opinion
concerning the amount to be received by
towns from the State in aid of free High
Schools. 1t has been stated by Representa-
tives from the Legislature, just adjourned,
and the same is published in the Lewiston
Journal, that towns will receive from the
State as much as they appropriate (not ex-
ceeding 5000 in aid of these schools. If
they vote $500, they will get an equal amount
from the State. do not SO understand the
law, and will quote from Section l, which
covers the whole point, as follows:
Sec. l. When any town shall have estab-
lished and maintained free high school as
provided by this act, for at least ten weeks in
any one year, such town on complying with
the conditions herein set forth shall be en-
titled to receive from the State one half the
amount actually expended for instruction in
said school, not however exceeding five hun
dred dollars from the State to any one town."
do not see any authority in the above law
for the assertion that towns are to receive
from the State as much as they appropriate,
but only one half. If l am wrong, please set
me right; and if misunderstood the asser-
tons of those who ought (having passed the
law to know its meaning, please enighten
my ignorance. B.

Tour correspondent is in error in his inter-
probation of the law, and evidently stumbles
on the manner of appropriating or raising the
money. In December next, the Governor
and Council will ascertain how much has been
expended in the free high schools established
by the several towns and cities. They will
ascertain if each Of these towns has provided,
by special appropriation, under this act, for
one-Lalf the sum expended above the regular
requirements of law. If towns show they
have made the proper provisions for the pay
ment of one-half the amount expended, then
the State will pay the other half. For in
stance The town of China shows by sworn
certificate that she has expended $500 for
instruction in a free high school, in the year
1878, and that she has raised $500 for
paying over the same, then the State will pay
an equal sum [S4O0.) So that China will on
ly have to raise 800 to secure the benefits of
twice that sum in the free high school that
she may establish.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the State
considers, not what a town has first raised
towards free high school, but how much has
been expended for such a school, and whether
the town has provided for the payment of one
half that sum. By the law the sum is not to
exceed $500
