LOCAL AND BUSINESS NOTICES.

Catarrh is common disease-so common that
snuffing, splitting, and blowing of the nose, meet
us at every turn on the street. Your foot slips in
these nasty discharges on the sidewalk and in the
public conveyance; and its disagreeabe odor, con-
taminating the breath of the afflicted renders
them offensive to their associates. There is the
highest medical authority for stating that with
fully one-half, if not twothrds, of those afflicted
with Consumption of the Lungs, the disease COM
mences as Catarrh in the nose head, the next
step being to the throat and bronchial tubes
lastly to the lungs. How important then to give
early and prompt attention to Catarrh! To cure
this loathsome disease correct the system by using
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which
tones it up, cleanscs the blood, and heals the dis
eased glands by specific influence upon them;
and to assist, use Or. Sages Catarrh Remedy with
DIR. Picrce's Nasal Douche. This is the only way
TO reach the upper and back cavities where the
discharge come from. No danger from this treat
ment, and it is pleasant to use. The two medi-
cines with instrument are sold by dealers in mcdi.

The plantation of New Sweden, organized on
the Sd day of April, by the choice of plantation
officers. Six years ago that township was an un-
broken forest, not tree cut on it except what had
been cut by lumbermen, and on the 23d day of Ju-
ly, 1870, years and months since, the first set
tiers went into that forest Now, they have a
plantation with population of from GOO to 500.
Enough of the principal men have been natural
lied to make plantation organization, and resi-
dents six years ago of far-off Sweden are trans
formed into American citizens. We repeat what

More Gigantic Frauds Coming

THE PUBLIC DEBT STATE
MENT THIS TIME.
TESTIMONY OF THE PUBLIC DEBT
STATEMENT CLERK.

St Louis April %. George Prender. who was
public debt statement clerk under Mccullough,
has gone to Washington to testify that each pub
lie debt statement then issued he reported money
in the treasury not there, while the government
was paying per cent. to meet temporary neces-
sites. Also that hundreds of thousands of dollars
were placed in the hands of outside parties, who
loaned it back to the government and drew inter-
est on it..
A clerk named Richardson, in the redemption
bureau, stated to Premier that immense frauds
were peipetrated in that bureau, and fortunes
made by reporting money destroyed which was
preserved; that only half the money turned in
for destruction was actually destroyed, and the
other half was divided among the perpetrators of
the fraud.
Prender says he reported these facts to General
Spinner when he was Treasurer, but the latter de-
chned investigating them saying that he did not
believe frauds were practiced. In March, 1869,
the congressional rettenchment committee was
examining alleged frauds in the treasury printing
department; Prender went to EdmuRds of VT,
chairman of the committee, and laid all the facts
before him and asked for investigation. Ed
munds replied that the time of the committee was
too short 10 warrant an extended investigation,
and nothing was done. After Boutwell, became
Secretary, Prendcr who at that time had retired
from the treasury department, informed him of
the discoveries he had made while a clerk, and
the Secretary promised to investigate the matter
shortly.
After this, named Fox, who also had
been cletk in the redemption bureau, called on
Prender and stated that he had been appointed a
detective by Secretary Boutwell, to work up these
frauds, and wanted all the papers and evidence he
had in his possession. Prender declined to give
them up, except on an ORDER from Boutwell,. Fox
left, but returned little while after with letter
from the Secretary asking for the documents and
Prender gave them to Fox in the presence of a wit
ness who knew their character and who is now in
Washington.
In the meantime, Richardson had retired from
the redemption bureau and located at Albany. N.
y. Fox visited him, and soon afterwards Rich.
ardson although democrat, was appointed asss-
tant postmaster at Albany n. Y, and no investi-
CATION Of the frauds was ever made.
Prender will probably testify before the commit
tee at Washington on Monday when it Is expect
Cd TIE matter will be brought to light.

Of certain charges Of official corruption on the
part of l.. NJ. Staples, County Attorney of Knox,
in this State, purporting as having eminated from

bold, arrogant and untruthful style, to publish a
denial of the facts. Well, expected he would
And l must further confess being very much sur
prised seeing the affair published in the newspa-
pers. certainly never thought of its getting in
those. am sure it never was printed with my
knowledge or consent, but since such is the case,
and the County Attorney has seen fit to make so
sweeping denial, l wish only to say, that at the
proper time and place, will not only be prepared
to subsantate all the charges have or may prefer
against that digntary, but that too by such over
whelming testimony as will convince his most
jealous friends of his guilt.

Murder in the Town of Buxton.

Murder in the Town of Buxton.
Biddeford, April 90 The village of Modcla-
ton, in the town of Buxton, was the scene of a
murder Friday night. At about three o'clock in
the afternoon, Mr.. Tarbox drove out of his
stable two tramps, who were engaged in an angry
dispute and were heard swearing at each other.
While they were passing over the covered bridge,
two pistol shots were heard, and the next morning
large spots of blood were seen on the bridge, anu
on the sides Of the window the marks of a
bloody hand were found, while on the abut-
ment below was large clot of blood. 1t is sup
posed one of the tramps shot the other and then
threw him out of the window into the water. Of
fcers are looking into the matter.
LATER.
Portland April "a. The suspected murder in
West Buxton is discredited by large number OF
the citizens CT that town, who believe that the
blood was sprinkled in the covered bridge by
boys for the purpose Of creating a sensation, and
that they also find the pistols. No person is miss
ing, and Mr.. Tarbox states that the tramp story is
false.
