should purchase the invaluable work entitled
''The Science of Life, or Self-PreservatioD,
published BY the Peabody Medical Institute"
Boston. Manhood maybe regained; vitality
impaired by the errors Of youth, or too close
application te business, may be restored. An
other work published by the Institute is SEX

The Providence, r. l. Press contains an account
of the glorious work Of reform which is progress
ing in that city. On one day it was announced
that DR.. Henry Reynolds of Bangor, would speak,
on the next day was held pra, er meeting asking
the divine blessing upon the work, and then the
next day, in regular order, came the temperance
meeting, which was most successful affair. Or
Reynolds related his experience to an immense au-
dience, going back TO the time when he commenced
to drink cider at the age Of fourteen years, and
then passing through all the varying stages OF
drunkard's career. At last he got among drunk
ards left the elegant gilt-edged rum shops, and
came down to the poor outcasts of his fellows. He
said that in Massachusetts, in eighteen weeks,
10 900 drinking men were made sober. He wanted
to meet some OF the so called "hard fellows" and
sympathze with them, making them feel that he
was indeed their friend. We can do it, he said,
by making them feel that they can be somebody if
they only will. The meetings promi. ed glorious
results.

The Clymer Committee

Washington, April 5. Secretary Chandler,
General Babcock and Col. Luckey are before
Clymers investigating committee on expenditures
in the War Department. Chandler is testifying,
and giving a specific denial to detective Bells
evidence so far as it relates to himself.
Mr.. Chandler said Bell was discharged Feb. Is,
&c. 1t came about in this way Witness went TO
cabinet meeting one day earlier than the other
members and found the President sitting there
with Bells name on the table. The President
said Bell was a scoundrel and ought to be dis
missed. Witness dismissed him as soon as he got
back to his office, because he believed him
scoundrel. The President told him that Bell had
applied to some one to certify that he was in the
employ of the government to furnish information
Tor Or against Babcock he did not care which.
Witness never saw the cipher III the n Y. Her.
aid till after this investigation began. Bell said
when taken on the pension bureau secret service
that he had some private matters to attend to,
that would require weeks absence, and that he
stayed away a month. Witness refused to audit
the account until Bell proved that he had rendered
service. Bell has since deceived Asst Secretary
Cowan in endorsing the following on a card -
"Bell has been legitnately employed under Or
ders and is entitled to his allowance per diem"

WEDNESDAY, April 9TH.
Clarissa B. Abbott & ais, appellants from decree
of Judge of Probate VS.. Lauretta Clark.
Counsel for Mrs. Clark having made out prinG
facie case that is having offered proof of the due
execution of the WILL and of the testator's sound
ness of mind, stopped. 1t then devolved upon the
widow and heirs who contest the will, to show
reasons why it should not be allowed. Mr. Pills
two hours length, explaining to the jury the sew
eral reasons relied upon, and the proofs they would
offer in their support. He took occasion to COM
plain, in the course of his remarks, that yester-
days report Of the case in the Daily Journal gave
a wrong impression as to some of the facts in the
case. 1t was there stated that two OF the sons
ly claimed an appeal, leaving the inference that
the other sons acquiesced. Such he stated was
not the facial the sons uniting in the endeavor
to overthrow the will. 1t also stated that the
will was approved by the Probate Court, latter
protracted hearing conveying the idea that the
contestants offered proof in that court in opposi
ton to The will. On the contrary Mr. Pillsbury
says, they offered no proof, but only appeared and
crossexamined the witnesses introduced by the ex
ecutriX, so that the hearing substantially eX-
parte. These corrections are gladly made, as the
reporter, who can only give very blief accounts
of the nature of tried in court desires that
such accounts shall be perfectly accurate so far
as they go, and fair to both sides.
Mrs. Carissa b. Abbott. widow of the deceased,
was the first witness Gale en- the part of the con-
testants. She took the stand at 10 A. NJ and is
still under examination.
