BERLIN,



This is to certify that l am well acquainted
with man 50 years of age, for many years
resident of this city, who has been at times ex-
tremely ILL., but could not tell from what cause,
unless il was worms. He told his attending ply
stefan his suspicious, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused to attend him
any longer His son then mentioned Dr. c. Nc
Lanes Vermiflge. and asked him if he would
take it his reply was-l must take something to
to get relief, or die.
They at once procured q bottle of DR. c. dc
Lanes IeinsitUge, and he took one dose. The re-
suit was he passed upwards of three quarts Of
,corms, cut up in every form. He got well i'm
mediately and is now enjoying excellent health;
and, like the good Samaritan of old is endcav-
oring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors. He
makes it his business to hunt Up and select all
cases similar to his own, that may be given over
by regular physicians, and induces them to try
Dr. McIanes Vermifuge. So far he has induced
more than twenty persons to take the Nermi-
fuge and in every case with the most happy re-
suits He is well satisfied that Dr. c. McLanes
yernifuge prepared by Fleming Bros, Pitts
burgh, Pa, is far superior TO any other known
remedy, and if more generally known would
not fail to save many valuable lives. For fur
Their particulars inquire of Mrs. Hardie, 11412

EDS. RECORD [ MON: a few days ago
you referred to the proposed supply of
wafer from the Blue lakes. Your evening
contemporary has noticed the remarks, and
seems to think you are not taking very
positive grounds, and has added some crit
that are open to suggestions as TO their cor
rectness, viz, the question of profit 1t is
stated that the water would cost us $50 900
year That is trse, but does not our
present water supply cost us something?
At the moment | have not the exact cost 10
the city of pumping and general mainten
ance of works growing out of wear and
tear, in consequence of the use of steam,
but think it is safe to place the figures
as $25. 600 SecOnd-I do not understand
that ii the proposal of the Amador Canal
and Mining Company is accepted, the city
will cease TO be the owner Of its water, or
that it will make any change in It's present
system except that it will obtain a different
character of water, and that it would be in
troduced into our pipe system under gravi-
tation head, which will always be uniform
i'll its pressure, without the danger of being
cut off by the breaking of pumps or other
it would furnish would always be ready to
meet all demands upon it; and more es-
pecially at the first tap of the fire bell, our
engines would have full and steady head
of water.
The question of taxation must of course
he duly considered and if the proposed
new supply of water should involve any
thing damaging, that would not be more
than compensated for by advantages to be
gained, that scheme should be at once
dropped. | am advised that the question
of the supply being cut off at the end of the
proposed contract, is not one to enter into
consideration, rs the company is willing to
extend the time upon the same relative
terms, practically to an indefinite period
| might refer to other points for consid-
Grafton, and perhaps should mention the
fact that our pumping capacity is already
taxed at certain seasons of the year TO its
full ability. This being the case, if our
population and mechanical enterprises in
crease, as is to be hoped, we shall very soon
be called upon for a large outlay for new
pumps to meet such demands. This last
point is che which will bear and should
receive very careful consideration.

Board of City Trustees.

The City Board of Trustees met1n regu-
lar session at 10 A. NJ yesterday; all the
members present.
The Chinese residents of | street filed 4
petition with the Board asking permission
to burn firecrackers, bombs and fireworks
during their New Years holidays, COM
mencing February 18th. The close of the
petition reads as follows In view OF the
fact that this privilege is accorded to Amer
leans, we ask that we may be allowed the
same right" The petition was not looked
upon with much favor. The matter was
referred to the Street Commissioner. He
said he was now and always had been OPP
posed 10 allowing the Chinese residents, or,
so far as that was concerned, any citizens,
burning immense amounts of firecrackerS
and bombs, to the great annoyance of resi-
dents. to the interference of travel IN the
public streets, saying nothing OF the great
danger of a contlagration in consequence.
If the Chinese residents wish TO practice
their heathenish rite of devll-drlvlng they
could do so on the slough across the rail
road levee or somewhere outside the city
limits. He reminded the Board that about
one year ago the firing of crackers on |
street, by the same parties now petiuoning

which the driver was seriously hurt and one
of the horses killed. and the city had to
pay damages to the extent of $3.50. He
should, so long as he was in the Board,
stand in opposition to granting any such
request. The Chinese were refused the
privilege one year ago; the Board had es-
tabliShed the precedent, and he could see
no reason why they should retrace their
steps.
The Mayor asked the Chinese attorney if
he wished to force vote on the question.
He replied, q No, sir; | see flom the ex-
preston of the members that they are OPP
posed to it The petitioners and their
counsel then retired.

Works, reported that during the week end

Reporting an interview with Cen

went out there with him and said,
General, I wish you wouldn't stay

"What is the matter?" said he,
While we were speaking these sharp
shooters balls would come, making a
noise like an insect in midsummer
something of a scream and something
of a grinding in the sound.
"Why, General" said I, 1--WE have
lost several officers this morning.
These are telescope rifles, and they
are evidently picking out the officers"
"Oh, pshaw," said General Sedg-

elephant at that distance"
"At this moment one of those balls
came screening through the air and
suddenly stopped it stopped with
kind of Jumping or thudding sound.
1 thought I was hit myself, and 1
turned to Sedgwick, and there was a
smile on his face"
"Said I; General" and 1 repeated
the word general" At that moment
there burst from his cheek, right I'M

smiling expression never left his lips
When he was shot could see the
men in that instant, distressed as
was, crawling up out of their rifle PITS
and little ramparts on their hands
looking at us from both directions
can still see that scene of surprise, as
constituent, wonder, grief all along
that blue line. We took him back
through the line of battle, and then
1 got on my horse and rode to Grants

A FORTUNE FROM A JOKE.
Old Dick shanlEs Profits Largely by Conn
rndeJs Love for Fun.
TFrom the Kansas City News.I

One hot night last July, when the bur
den of proofreading in a close room
seemed almost suffocating, Dick Shanks
was working as only night tiends on
morning papers can work, gazing IN
tently at the agate and nonparell taxes
deciphering bad manuscript, and laborl-
ously contributing his share to make a
morning paper. About half-past 3 o'clock
in the morning there was a slack in the
run of copy, and while Shanks and his
fellow workmen were waiting for other
proofs, he began to tell how nightwork
was wearing on him, how he could not
sleep through the hot days, and yet how
dependent he was on his small salary
for a livelihood. He told how he
had lost fortune a the war and now
had to work like slave, that he was
Door and discouraged with his condition,
and he did not care how soon the gooo
angel called him to another world. A
few minutes later the proof reader VINO
sat beside him came to little telegraph
''take" which said something about a
vast fortune in Kentucky left to the heirs
of David Shanks. Thinking he could
have q little fun by inserting his com
panions name in the dispatch, the proof
reader added in few lines on the mani
fold paper these words;
1.-THE only known heir Of the Ken
| lucky Shanks is r. L. Shanks, lame
man and proof reader, supposed to be
working like a slave on the Time"
The old copyholder read 1t, ana
laughingly put it in his vest pocket,
where it remained for many months. NO
one ever dreamed that there was word
of truth in the manufactured telegram.
Mrs. Shanks one day found the telegram
in her husbands vest pocket, and asked
what it meant. Just for fun he said II
was a true telegram which he had re-
ceived. She told a sister-in-law, and
this sister-in-law wrote to Stanford, Lin
coin county, KY, to know If it was So
The answer came that there was for
tune there for the heirs of David L.
shanks, formerly of Virginia; that he
had at one time owned number o.
shares in a turnpike road. he died II
1S41, and the annual dividends had &C
cumulated and been in the public treas
ury ever since, and that the heirs coulc
4 not be found. When Dick Shanks saw
that letter he knew that his father, Wit
died Just before Dick was born, was th,
former owner Of those shares, for hi
name was David L. and he came from
Virginia. Subsequent communication
with the State Treasurer and county OH
cials has placed Dick Shanks's identit
beyond doubt as the heir of three-hfth
of the entire fund, which has been &C
cumulating for over forty years. Tn
case is in the hands of Mr.. c. ]. Bowe
of this city, and Dick will soon have hi
money.
Mr.. Leigh Irving, the proof reade
who put up the joke on Mr.. Shanks
writes to the New York Sun that tn
above story is literally true, and this
Mr.. shanks's legacy is about $3.50, OOC
