 A Big Humbug Exposed.-The Boston Herald says for some time past medium. sized, black-eyed, curly haired and rather good looking Frenchman, calling himself J. Frank Martin, has been astonishing the natives by what appeared to be most won, derful spiritual tests, and until Friday even. ing last the sharpest investigators were completely folled in their attempt to fath- om the mystery, which staggered them and almost converted them to the belief that Martins claims were legitimate. Martin was for some time the chief attraction at the seances given at the rooms of Mrs. Hersey, sometimes called Miss Lillic. He aud one Mace, who is pronounced by some of the spiritualists to be stupendous fraud, gave an exhibition in Cambridge not long since, calling themselves the Taylor Broth CTS and successfully-[Stop! that's quite far enough.

 Sad Case of sufering.-Last Saturday, at about half-past eight o'clock in the even. ing, woman with child came into F. Richardsons store in this village for the purpose of warming herself, she being very thinly clad, as was also her child, ana both evidently very cold. In a few moments her husband, whose name we have not learned. also came in, and after staying a few moments began to urge her to go on with him, she refusing to go so soon on account of her feet being SO cold. They finally started off and we understand went on foot to Town Hill, the woman carving the child in her arms. We know but little of their journey there on that bitter cold night, but are informed that the woman died the next morning, the physician in at- tendance pronouncing it case of death by exposure. Becoming so thoroughly chilled, and suffering from hunger, her constitution was not able to rally after her arrival. We learn she came from Sheffield. and was on visit 10 her fathers, on Town Hill, she being sister of the three Brazee children who died there last week.
