Beware of This Fraud.

A smart appearing stranger canvassed Portland, Monday night with ''fake'' watch that he disposed of for anything he could get, and succeeded in getting quite good deal. He pleaded poverty, and stated that he wanted to dispose of his watch to raise money. He offered it for the small sum of $5, and when he could not get that sold it for less. As he sold about a dozen the SUD- position is he must have been loaded. All thought they had a bargain until they examined them, when it was seen that what had appeared to be silver was composition. Some did not have any crystals, while others had defects of one kind or another. One of them was wound up trifie tightly and the whole insides came out. One of the victims, smarter than his fellows, sold his watch to companion for s6.50 and made a good speculation. The watch was worth about $2.50 when worth anything.

LlTcHF1ELD, December 12.-Dr David Knowles, who with his wife and son George are now serving long sentences in the state prison at Wethersfield for the murder of John Waters in Lanes vile, on the nj ght of September 10, has
 written a long letter to his sister in Lanesville, In the letter he a1rs his grievances as a much persecuted man and tells for the first time the story of the family feud which existed for ten years. The doctor, bitterly attacks everyone who had anything to do with the conviction of his wife and son and closes as follows: No earthly priva- tions can be so great, no human indig- cruel, but that they should be esteemed as blessings of incomparable worth con- pared. to the soul destroying triumph of the 1roveling cOvetousness, the low de- ceit, the lawless violence, the fearful corruption and the brazen perjury by which the possession of that house and the verdict of the jury was obtained.

ABOUT THE CENSUS.
curcis N. Hall Still LaborInR on the
 Statistics of Manufactures,

Statistics of Manufactures.
 c. N. Hall, who is securing census statistics from the manufacturers of this city and Naugatuck, has arrived at the conclusion that his position can hardly be called sinecure. When he received the appointment he was urged to com plete the work in about twenty days, if possible. Already he has put in nearly two months of work and, his task is yet far from being finished. About two or three lists day is all he has been able to secure. et.. .rt. ..-....--.
 Speaking of the enumerators who took the census last June Mir Hall, like all the others, says the pay was too small to ensure good work. He covered the outlying district, using his horse, and received about $2.50 a day for the work. 9.<E
 About two census enumerators out of every three failed in some way to follow the instructions in making out the state ments, and consequently there are still nearly one-half of the entire number awaiting pay. Sometimes the enumera- tor forgot all about noting the number Of deaths that had occurred in his dis trict during the census year, and at other times he failed to attend to other vital statistics which were required, and then again he would report the exist ence of a farm, the name of the farmer, his family and employees, but would for get all about the rest of the work re- quired in the farm schedule. This made it necessary to withhold his pay until his papers were properly straightened. While in the city districts proper nearly all the enumerators have received their checks, in the country towns many of them are held back.

One Of tho Three Patients Already

 Henry Johnson, one of the three patients in New Haven who are being treated with Koch's lymph, is reported to be experiencing good results. His malady is believed to be lupus, SO diag- nosed by Dr Francis Bacon, who sub mitted the case for treatment. This is the form of tubercular complaint with which Berlin physicians have scored their unquestioned success. The evidence of disease is external and the tissues whenIdefertilized by the injected poison visibly wither and disappear. In Mir Johnson's case it is believed this result is already appreciable in a small way. It is thought the marks are diminishing and the patient is enthusiastic. @0
