"DR. BILL"

DIR. BILL.
or this comedy, which is to appear at
the Opera House Thursday night, the
Chicago Times says The first presen-
tation Of "Dr. Bill" in this city was
given at the Columbus last evening. 1t
was heralded as great London success
and in drawing power will probably re-
ceive a similar verdict In this city.
From dramatic standpoint, however,
IL is neither better ner worse than plays
Of its kind brought from abroad. . 1t
belongs to the farce-comedy class, and
as such it must be considered. To ex-
pect Conference, naturalness, or any spe-
cial literary merit of IT would be too eX-
acting in this day Of light and farcial
stage business,
Lovers of the realistic and sensational
in the drama will be afforded rare
treat next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day at the Grand Opera House, when
the great scenic melo-drama, Lost In
New York." will be magnifcently pro-
duced with the New York cast and
car load Of brand new scenery. Many
new and startling realistic features Will
be introduced, including river OF real
water, full rugged yacht, rowboats,
ferries, prismatic fountain and a
practical steamboat that runs at the
rate of twelve miles an hour and carries
twenty passengers.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The Grand contained another big au-
dience last night to see n. S. Wood In

great favorite one Of the largest NATL
nees of the season is expected. The
prices to the matinee are only 10, ~

CONSUMPTION ,UREp.

Read what was Done for Ekr. Fred j
HeHtIy of Berlin. n, H., by DIR. smith
and Associates, Magnetic PLY sicians,
M. 6 Union Place.
MIR. Fred. Bently came to the Office of
DR.. Smith on July DIST with all the symp-
toms Of consumption staring him in the
face. He had pneumonia in Fe bruary
last from which he never recovered; it left
him with acough which continually grew
worse. He was reduced in weight from
1872 to 1872 pouOdS; he mad night sweats,
swelling of the limbs, became very weak,
so much SO he was exhausted on the
slightest exerton, and was unable to do
any work upon the farm. lie raised
blood, his parents had come to look upon
him as nearing his grave. After he had
commenced treatment with Dr.Smith and
associates, the family physician said his
parents were throwing away their money.
as no power on earth could save him from
couSumptiye' grave (how little that
physician knew about the power of
magnetism) Mr.. i did not seem to gain
for the first two weeks, but continued to
lose flesh. Since that time his recovery
has been progressive, gaining a little
every week. At first the trip to Troy
seemed to tire him so much his friends
feared it wonld more than counterbalance
the treatments, bnt of late exercise seems
to and does strengthen him; his cough
has nearly isappcared, he has no night
sweats, no swelling of the limbs, and at
his last visit he was discharged as virtu-
ally cured. This is the second case of
consumption published cured by Dr.
Smith and associates within a month.
If any one doubts, cut this out, send it to
the above address and ask him if it is
true. There's none so blind as those who
won't see. Remember thai Dr. Smith is
supported by full staff of eminent ply
siclans and surgeons, and that he or one
of his staff will be at Mrs. Oatman's 129
North street, Wednesday and Thursday
in each week. Consultations free from
ga. IN. to pm.

The IT. Francls de Sales Fair.

This pOpu ar fair will open next Thurs
day, December Sth, and, because of
counter-attractiOns, continue for nine
nights, closing on Saturday, the 18th.
Arrangements are being made by the
management TO put on the boards enter
tainments of a cultured as well as a
pleasing character. These entertain
ments will be prefaced by the highly ac-
cOmplished Ethiopian artists, Whitney
and Cox, supported by troupe of note
worthy stars. These gentlemen will
open tie season Thursday night, NOvem-
Der Sth. and entertain IN their old ac-
cuStomed way their many ardent admir-
ers, with new songs, witty sayings, side
splitting persona iJics and laughable sit
uations.
The hall will be lighted ard decorated
for the event in Il most artistic and elab
Orlte manner. In order that sufficient
room may be had, the old library has
been placed ut the disposal of the man
agement, and will be converted into an
attractive dining parlOr, where for the
moderate price of twenty-five cents a
most excellent supper Will be served
every night.
Two fancy tables, replete with varl-
ETY. of useful and beautiful articles, from
a lady S jockey hat to shoe string, form
another feature of the far. These ar
ticl, will be disposed of at the excep-
tion1lly low price of fifteen and twenty
five cents each, and all must be sold.
Baby Ruth, grown almost to woman
hood and attired in the latest Partisan
costume, and who has become n center
of attraction since her papa has again
risen from innOcuous desUetude, will be
-, 81 l.vr
mother.
OF all the attractions that might be
mentioned, but will not, simply that you
will attend and find out for yourself,
none, perhaps, will be more sensational
than the great circuit races. A kite
track has been constructed and all the
noted flyers, Nancy Hanks. Sunol,
Martha Wilkes and Pilot, Jr., will be in
attendance. and records will probably be
broken. Betting will be brisk and there
will be plenty of 1t.
Last but not least, will be the interest
ing contest for popularity between
several of the most attracting young
ladies. The prizes to be awarded are a
costly diamond ring, a rich diamond pin
and valuable ladies' dressing case. In
this contest no Australian ballot will be
used. One thing, however, will be re-
spected-we refer to WOman's rights.
The wife may vote equally with the hus-
band, and the daughter with the father.
Ballot-bOx stulling will not be tolerated,
except on the last night, when money,
checks or votes will be equally accepted.
Attend the fair, vote early and often,
and remember that it is all for a good
cause.
Doors will be open at I p. M, and the
admission, excepting the last night will
be ten cents.

Tho Confidence Game.

G. A. Richardson, the confidence man
who came in contact with Vermont law
by an attempted swindle of Mr.. James
II. Whitney, recently, is stiH confined in
Jail here. Having settled with Mr..
Whitney by returning the latter's draft
and paying the expenses which were in
CURED in following him, he was set at
liberty Saturday, only to be again ar
reste upon another charge.
1t appears that some two years ago
this noted swindler practised his nefar-
iuus game upon one Clarence Joy of
Hoosicll Falls, n. Y. Mr.. Joy broughta
civil action against Mr.. Richardson and
the latter is now laying in Jail awaiting
examination. Wednesday the State
Attorney from Orange County was here
investigating matters connected with
swindles perpeti ated by this gentleman
in that county. 1t seems that on Nov.
18th Richardson was in Bradford, and
while there appointed II w. Heath, sta
ton agent for the Passumpsic railroad
at Piermont, II miles below Bradford,
general agent for the counties of Grafton
and Sullivan, New Hampshire, Windham
Windsor and Orange in Vermont. He
also sold Heath 20 barrels of high pro-
&C > lGbil, ~ DdiIClS Ol pOulIly ItGu, Illb
whole amounting to S2O7.
Richards on also gave Heath an order
on tie station agent for the goods, signed
Western Milling company. He also prom
Used To send lot OF printed matter be-
fore leaving. He procured from Heath
a 60 day sight draft with exchange for
S207, payable at Bradford Savings Bank
and Trust Company. Heath accepted
the same and got Daniel HOughtOn, a
well known farmer of the town, to en-
dorsed it with him.
Richardson then endorsed the draft,
and getting Mr.. Heath To guarantee the
commences of his signature, went to the
bank and got the money aud left. Mr..
Heath first came to the conclusion that
he had been swindled by the Press des-
patch that appeared in Mondays daily
naners relating 10 the Richardson
swindlng operations In Bennington.
Richardson is provided with billheads
on which are printed IF. McDougall,
advance agent; G. Twilight, freight
agent: Richardson & Co., wholesale
agents: and place of business, 100 Broad
street, Boston"
Yesterday morning Sheriff Nash re-
ceived letter from X. p. Young, agent
of the Wells Fargo Express Company of
RathbOneville, y. y, asking for any in
formation thathe could give with regards
to "this slick rascal and also stating that
he was one of his victims to the amount
of Sl3S.
Richardson's game is something as
follows: He represents himself as
travelling agent and one of the partners
OF the firm of Richardson and Company,
wholesale dealers in grain and poultry
food of Boston, Mass. Having made a
sale of his goods, he make large reduc-
tions in the price, if payment is made
Immediately. The unsuspecting Gus
toner jumps at the chance only to find
that no goods are forthcoming and that
lie has been swindled.
VermOn,'s courts are always open to
receive such rascais and this one ere he
escapes will doubtless learn that one
sometimes gets into trouble by obtaining
money under false pretenses.

The Laws Not to be PubIIshed.

fact that probably not one in one
hundred of the people of the State
knows, is, that not single one of the
public acts passed at the session Just
closed takes effect until next February.
This was brought about by bill passed
at late hour the morning of the adj
journment, the object being to give time
FOR the printing and dishiltmti,G,;I, az an IN,
bound copies of the laws before they
went into effect. The law providing for
the publication of the laws by the vari-
GUS otaty papers 1T cost of about 81, 200
was repealed and probably seventy-tive
per cent. of the people will thus remain
in ignorance of the laws enacted. The
newspaper publication was the best and
in fact the only means of acquainting the
great majority of the people with the
new laws enacted and it seems like penny
wise to abolish this method of dissent
mating information. No one newspaper
made enough out of the publication of
the laws to be appreciate and a paltry
$1,000 for such a spread of needed infOr-
nation should have been allowed to
stand. The State only publishes 5000
copies of the bound volumes of the laws
so it will be seen that only small pro-
portion of the people can have these, and
as a consequence Il visit to a lawyer or
the town clerk will be necessary for most
of the citizens of Vermont who wish to
know what any special law provides
Had the old system been continued every
man could have had a copy of the laws
for at most an expenditure of five cents,
the balance of the burden being borne by
the publishers of newspapers. We can
stand it if the people can.

The opening attraction at the new
Opera House will be the Worlds re-
nOwned tragedianne, Janauschek, who
will present, with very strong com
pany, the master effort Of her remarkable
career, Macbeth" in which play she
will be seen in the title role as Lady
Macbeth. This grand actress is esteemed
by the public and press as being the only
genuine tragedianne this modern world
has ever seen. This will be probably
her last appearance in this city, as she
intends retiring from the stage at the
close of the present season and return
TO her native land to spend the remain
der of her days quietly among her
country women. Mr.. Edmund Collier
is the leading man. This gentleman has
received many hearty praises for has
ability as a Shakspearian star. The re
mainder of the company render such
artistic ability as to afford a grand pro-
duction of Macbeth" For one night
only, Saturday Dec. 10th.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF.

Mr. Clevelands closest friends and
some of his newspaper organs are busily
engaged Just now in disseminating the
impression that he is very moderate
tariff refOrmer' almost, indeed, a
moderate ProtectiOnist. If Mr.. Cleve-
land had not greatly modified, not to say
repudiated. the radical utterances of his
platform in his letter of acceptance, he
could never have been elected President.
There is n substantial reason, too, why
he should now seek to pose as a very
conservative refOrme. 1t Is to save the
great business interests Of the country
from alarm.
Nearly half a century ago we had a
Democratic President who. during his
campaign for election, held much the
same attitude which Mr.. Cleveland is
now occupying. 1t was James X. Polk.
He had been nominated on Free Trade
platform framed by Southern slavehOld-
ers. There was doubt of his election. 1t
was necessary to convince the North that
if victorious he would not permit the
South to assail Northern manufactures
by a tariff for revenue only. To this end
Mr.. Polk was persuaded to write letter
declaring that it had always been his
policy to sanction such moderate dis
CIlhlHdtilAB uutlco do NOulu piouuCe iue
amount of revenue needed and at the
same time afford a reasonable incidental
protection to our home industries"
Largely on the strength of this state
meut the Democrats carried the country.
Two years later the Walker Free Trade
Tariff passed Congress against the unan-
imOus vote of Massachusetts, and the
nearly unanimous vote of Pennsylvania.
Either Mr. Polk mayer intended To keen
his word, or the South would not let him
keep it.

chattel slavery. The men who are
driven from the land, the workers who
