LONDON, Dec 81. The London Times
has the following: A detective from Bre-
men has arrived in Liverpool to investi-
gate the operations of Thomassen, alias
Thomas, with the view Of discovering
whether the man had any accomplices. 1t
has been ascertained that Thomassen had
made several trips between Liverpool and
New York, and he once attempted to OBJ
tain heavy insurance on goods, which he
wished to ship. The suspicion has been
raised that he might have been privy to
the loss of the steamer City of Boston in
January, 1870 Thomassen and wife left
New York in June following that disaster.
and went to Dresden, where they lived in
stylish manner. A short time before his
death Thomassen was asked if he knew
the City of Boston. He promptly replied:
"l es-the Inman steamer; knew her
very Well" The Messrs Inman have no
trace of Thomassen or Thomas in their
books at Liverpool, but the most careful
inquiries will forthwith be made at New

house Of Franklin Munger in the north part
of Benson, Vt, and asked for food. Mr..
Munger had gone to bed, but his wife was
up, and he directed her to give the tramp
something TO eat. She placed bread and

the gun and as he was about to strike

Facts are Stubborn Things.

Thousands Of human beings are yearly borne

ply frequently is, ''Oh, | am well, with the eX-
ception of Il cold Most persons lightly re-
gard cold. Reader, do you know that Il cold

cold not only clogs up the pores Of the entire
system, and retards circulation, but it is pro-
ductive Of Catarrh. which is quite apt to lead to
Consumption. OOH" you say, 1t is nothing
but cOli in the head.'' True: but that coM
is really Il mild form of Catarrh, and if not AZ
rested i'll its course will become chronic. ca
tarrh is one of the most disagreeabe, offensive
affections in the catalogue OF diseases. The
passage to the nose is obstructed, the sense of
smell impaired, and there is a diSagreeablc SEN
sation Of pressure in the head. In the more adj
vanced stages, there is discharge having an
offensive odor. If the disease be allowed to
continue in its course, thick, hard incrustationS
will form in the head, the bones of which some
times become softened and break away i'll
pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease,
when they can lust as well be cured of it IA.

forms of Catarrh in fact, it is the only sure and

may, for time, relieve the urgency of the
symptoms, but they 10 not cure the disease
