The citizens of Thomastop, and L believe
they but express the opinion of the citizens of
other towns along the line Of the Knox s. LIN
coin Railrosd, are in favor of selling the road
for what it will bring and paying the same
towards the liquidation of the guaranteed loan
OF the road. 1t has ben necessary for the
towns to raise money every year for the pur.
pose OF paying the interest on this loan. The
people are oppressed by taxation 1t is as much
as they can do to pay the legitimate expenses
of the towns. They are heartily sick of this
interest business. The sooner they dispose of
the road the better for all concerned.

Inc fREss OF Monday mentioned the arrest
IN TINS city, on Saturday last, of John c. Wells,
alias Clark, alias Bates for adultery having
wife living in Fitchburg, Mass, and that he
was peddling medicine called DR.. Rings Uni

Fitchbnrg Jan. s, 1878, and began putting up
bitters 10 bottles labelled CDR Kings White

proprietors, Lawrence, Mass. He was Joined
three days after his arrival By a woman, and

amounted to about $500. Then Mr. Byam told
the doctor to leave. In leaving, February 5,
the unpaid board bill and the woman, sick and
partially insane, were left behind Mr.. By
ANS suspicious led him to consult Chief of Po-
lice Whitney of Fitchburg, and the latter, with
the assistance of Assistant Marshal Chadwick
of Concord, N. H., succeeded in placing the
"Doctor" where he belongs. Among the first
discoveries made by Chief Whitney was the
fact that the Doctors real name was John G.
Wells, then he was traced to Baskerville. N. H.,
where it was found that he has wife and child
living. They were married II years ago, and
the boy is Is years old. Assistant Marshal
Chadwick of Concord was neighbor of Wells
in Fisherville, and on learning what he had
been up TO there, went for him in way that
was very credtable. On March 1st he heard
that Wells was in Manchester, N. H., and
three days later he heard that he was in Port
land. Mr.. Chief Whitney asked Chadwick to
follow Wells and the officer secured his arrest
as was stated. in Portland on Saturday. He
was brought to Fitchburg and in the Police
Court Tuesday morning waived examination
and was held in $500 for adultery to appear be-
fore the grand jury TIE woman is now at the
almshouse in Fitchburg, sick and partially in
sane. Her maiden name was Hettie S. Bates;
she came from Clifton or Portland, n B and
married Thomas Thompson at st. John, Feb.

(Wells) had a wife; Mrs. Thompson has lived
in Nashua, Waltham and Lowell; in Lowell
she worked in mill and boarded at No. Dat.

THE HOLMAN LIVER PAD has been before
the public for the past eight or nine years, and
by its miraculous cures and growing populari-
ty has excited the envy of maDy parties, who
have been anxious to realize profit and make
money on the honest reputation of this remedy
During the last five years there have been
placed upon the market fifty -eight different
liver pads, all claiming to be equal or better
than the Holman Pad. Some of these, as anal
yged by the Holman Pad Co., were found to
contain Injurious and poisonous drugs, and in
most cases were eitner inert or positively in-
furious, and therefore had deservedly short life.
New ones are now being brought to the notice
OF the trade every day, and their claims parad-
ed before the public. We would earnestly
caution the public to be on their guard against
these limitations and buy only the genuine Hol-
man Pad, which has proved itself by the sc.
verest tests, and is known to be harmless and
effective. Poor or inferior articles are never
initiated. Holman Liver Pad Co., liz Middle
Street.
