High Water.

The heavy rain Of yesterday, with the snow
then on the ground, caused a rise in the river
which threatened ut one time in the night to he
lars nearest the river and occasion considerable
damage. The water covered the yard back of the
Central boardnghousc entering the cellar and
shed, and necessitating the removal Of many
things to higher level I c. Phinney's cellar,
wherein were several cases of holiday books and
other goods, was flooded, but we are glad to say
that the damage to these goods will not amount
to rs much as at first feared. Mr.. Phinney him
self Is not in town, but his clerk was informed Of
the danger, and succeeded in getting the goods
ont of the cellar before they we're very much in
iured. The groceries Of j. c, Crossett and A. +.
Stone were flooded Stone loses nothing to speak
of, but Crossett loses portion OF scvcnty-hve
barrels of apples, which he could not get out Il.
H. Whittier was compelled to move the stock of
meat in his market to the vacant store in Hub
bard's block, his premises being covered with
three feet of water. Putnam q Marvin lose about
seventy-tive bushel of onions and many bar
rels of apples by the flooding of their eel
lar. Several people living "along-shore " came
ont minus a "porker or two. Hunting
ton, Sterling and several other merchants were
flooded, but experienced no particular dam
age aside from the Inconvenience Doubtless
other damage was done along the line, which, in
the hurry of going to press are not able to
CLEAN. The Wells River road had suffered no in

DIR. SHERMAN'S
Treatment for RUPTURE!
Interview with a Number of
Prominent Citizens.
What they say Respecting their
Condition Before and A.
ter Treatment!


The age in which we live il undoubtedly pc
Rod of dangerous charlatanism, against which we
have constantly to guard by directing suspicion
against every declaration that is not within strict
accord with facts as we have demonstrated them.
But while Justly suspicious, our wariness should
never be permitted to degenerate into prejudice,
lest we suffer greater injury thereby than we
should have experienced through the operations
of a charlatan upon our susceptibities.
About four years ago DR.. J. A. Sherman of
New York visited this city professionally, offering
his services and remedies to those suffering from
rupture. Some there were who applied to him
but hundreds Of citizens, victims of this
dreadful aiicton looked upon his profession as
they do upon scores of Others to whom they had
applied in vain for relief. But each repeated
visit of DIR. Sherman since has served to increase
his popularity, until now every claim he makes
has been clearly proven, viz, that he has dis
covered treatment for the cure of hernia with
out the use of knife, or the application of calling
ard exasperating trusses
The newspapers have, from time to time, con-
tanned editorials on the remarkable success of Dr.
Sherman's new treatment for rupture but, with
out accepting their conclusions, our reporter has
obtained statements from the following we'll
known citizens, who have been treated by the
Doctor and in giving them publicity, we are only
performing a duty which humanity enioins.

THE adjourned meeting Of the Montpelier
Manufacturing Company was held at their office
on Monday. 1t will be recoected that at the
last meeting n committee, consisting of George
W. Scott, J. W. Ellis Joel Foster lr, and
Ebenezer Scribner, was appointed to examine into
the affairs Of the and report Mt this meet
ing They found that the Indebtedness Of the
company for which the directors-Fred f. Smith,
J. W. Brock, L. Bart Gross, A. o. Cummins and
Ebenezer Scribner-were held personally liable,
amounted to $751; 900 The directors asked to be
relieved from this liability. Subsequently the
directors instructed the clerk of the corporation to
notify the stockholders that they had received
proposition from responsible parties to purchase
the concern, and that If the stockholders could
not arrange to realize more for the property,
the same would be sold at one clock on Satur-
day of this week. The offer submitted to the di-
rectors was that the parties making it should
pay off the debts of the company in full and take
the entire property as an equivalent for so doing.
1t is now probable that an early arrangement
will be effected by which the works will be put
into full running order, and worked to their
largest capacity. Should this be accomplished,
we congratulate the parties in interest, as well as
our townspeople, upon retaining this important
adjunct to the prosperity of our village.
