Recently man apparently about thirty-five
years old, about five feet and half tall, dark
complexioned, with black hair, called on me,
and introduced himself as a Mr.. Syringe
who had secured place to work in shoe
mandatory in Bath. He wanted to borrow
money enough to take him to Bath. / knew
there was no such mandatory in Bath; but,
as it happened, 1 was going to Bath that af-
ternoon, and promised to take him along.
Then he made various excuses why he could
not take the train. I was convinced that he
was miserable cheat and liar, and told him
SO. After had left town he called again at
my house, and by plausible pretext, got a
small loan of money from my wife. He told
her he wished to go to Portland that day; but
on the evening of the same day he went to the
prayer meeting at our church, and took part
in the services, and represented himself as Just
out of the hospital, and very anxious to get to
his home in Boston. A ticket to Portland and
small sum of money were furnished him. and
with the benediction of the delUred brethen,
he went on his way rejoicing. He is of ready
utterance, and pretends to be recent convert
to Christ. He is well calculated to deceive the
people. The press of Maine will do society a
good service by publishing this.

AFaithfaI Engineer.

A correspondent of the Advertiser speaks as
follows of the courageous act of an engineer on
the Grand Trunk, but fails to give the noble
fellows name:
The train was between Upton and Acton
and a fresh following" breeze blowing. The
fireman opened the furnace door of the en-

burst of flame rushed forth. Either he fell or
threw himself fiat on the floor of the caboose

the escaping steam and fire and the sitting

with but they will give good account of them
selves today. Fight the enemy inch by inch.

Ward Four, stand up to your rights and
make it hot for the enemy. Look sharp after
the counting in your ward, and see that every
