WINDSOR.

Work is still going on at the cannery, squash
being put up now. Between 600, 900 and 7O0,-
900 cans of corn were put up during the corn
canning season this summer.
A new engine, y horsepower, and boiler,
set up at the prison, the old one being of in

The following is an extract from the unani-
nous report of the committee appointed from
both branches of the city government of
Springfield, Mass, to investigate alleged
abuses in connection with the pauper depart
mert of that city, in which J. S. Farnsworth
of this place, who has been for several years
connected with that department with other
officials, was accused. His complete exoner-
alton is simply an act of justice which is
pleasing tn his many friends: ''In regard to
the evidence submitted bv the prosecution
your committee find that, out of the nine wit
nesses who testified, six were former en-
ploves of the department, discharged either
for inefiiciency. intemperance, or gross mis-
conduct. while two others were disappointed
applicants for the patronage of the city under
the board of overseers, and the remaining
witness, l.. J. Smith, openly asserted that he
started on: to do up at least one OF the &C
cused fMr. Farnsworth), which fact his testi-
mnny amply emphasized. In view of the fact
that none OF this evidence was unpreiudiced,
and was, therefore, unreliable, your commit
tee are of the opinion that it has been given
too much importance already; that there has
been no evidence that would warrant the
censure of DIR. Chaplin in any particular, or
that would substantiate tbs charges of mis-
management or ahnse Of inmates at the aims

under the eyes OF the medical profession
and in strict accordance with the direc-

Paine's celery compound was first used
and prescribed by no less eminent man
than Americas greatest physician, Prof.

No ordinary help, no well-meaning but

An Artist Gone Wrong.

Robert Lindner is an artist of consider
able ability whose paintings have recently
been displayed in the store windows Of
Winnewisser & Conway, Clark Chase and
c. l.. Aldrich, for the public to admire.
1t seems that the painting which was in
Mr.. Chase's window and small one of the
falls at The Forest had been sold to f. p.
Smith for $lS, and also Mrs. F. d. Still
well for So. Smith received letter from
Lindner saying that he was suddenly called
to Boston, and that he could find the pic
lures in bis room in the Dominique block.
When Smith went for the pictures they
we're not there. but were found with Mrs
Stillwell, who had bought and paid for
them. Chief Thompson was at once noti-
fed and took the $50 train yesterday
morning for Keene, to. which place Lind
ner's trunk had been checked. 1t was
found that it had been re-checked at Keene
for Fitchburg. Lindner was found in that
city in good room in a doctors house
which he had engaged for a week and paid
for. He acknowledged that Smith had
bought the pictures and settled the matter
by delivering over a $40 watch. which
Thompson took with him, reaching here at
7 o'clock last night. The question Of
ownership between Smith and Mrs. Still
well remains to be settled, but it is thought
the watch is worth enough to make all
parties whole.
Lindner came here about three months
ago, and for time was a barber in o. p.
Cassavant's shop.

THE NERVES IN OCTOBER.
Tired Men and Women Are Made Well Again by
Paines Celery Compound

Everything out of doors, from grass to
sky, urges tired men and women to think
of health.
The listless, worked-out system natural
ly looks to days like these to undo the mis-
chief done to the nerves and brain by the
long grind of the year past. Thousands
OF tired eyes brighten at the thought of
rest and recuperation.
But any thinking person must feel how
powerless few days outing or paltry,
short vacation is against the steady drain
on strength aud vitality that has been 60
ing on so long.
Only a positive, downright invigorator
and purifier can arouse the body out of its
bad habit Of poor health.
Paine's celery compound will build up
the exhausted, nervous organization, give
tone to the entire digestive system, and
assist it to fill the body with fresh life
blood, abundant and rich
Paine's celery compound confidently
cures nervous diseases by overcoming the
faulty nutrition ofthese ver.exerted parts.
1t attacks rheumatism, neuralgia and blood
impurities in the same profound manner !;
rouses the excretory organs to sweep out
the annoying bad humors, and thoroughly
rids the body OF the last trace of impurity

system. Muscular rheumatism, those dizzy
spells, and that sense of weight on top OF
the head mean failing vigor.
The sure way to get back to perfect
health of body and brain is to regulate and
nourish the nerves by means OF Paine's
celery compound. 1t is searching cure
for all diseases that indicate vitiated blood.
1t builds up the strength replaces used-up
parts by new, vigorous tissues; regulates
the hearts action, and finally arouses the
excretory organs-the kidneys, especially,
upon whose vigilant activity depends the
health and purity of the system
Nothing so quickly builds up the tired
system as this great invigorator and nerve
regulator. Public opinion in the large
cities throughout the country shows the
reliance that thoughtful men and women
have come to place upon Paines celery
compound when the body needs building
up and the strength recruiting. Men in
official positions in nearly every depart
ment of the public service have gone out
of their way to send letters Of thanks and
allowed their names and letters to YOU h
for this great remedy.
Paines celery compound accompanies
remarkable results because it works intelli-
gently with definite aim always in sight
of purifying the blood, getting the wasted
system again nourished aud the vital organs
working with ease and regularity.

A Lucky Chance for the Sick.

Every ailing and suffering person who is
wise will instantly accept this generous offer.
Coming from the very highest authority, as it
does, gives it the greatest weight, and people
know when they see good thing like this.
Everybody knows of DR.. Greene, the most
successful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, of "a Temple Place, Boston.
Mass. His successful system of treating
patients through letter correspondence is at
tracing great attention. All you have got to
do is this. Write him a letter about your
complaint, tell him how you feel and he will
answer it, giving a thorough explanation of
your case and telling the surest way to get

He gives most careful and explicit atten-
ton to every letter, and explains your case so
comprehensively, that you understand imme-
dately exactly what ais you and just what to
do for yourself. And for all this he makes
no charge. lie is the discoverer OF that re-
markable medicine, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. This splendid offer
is being taken advantage of by thousands and
they are getting well by his wonderfully sue
cesstul treatment. The very best thing you
can do, reader, is to write the Doctor imme-

" Shore Acres"

1t has been said of ashore Acres"
which is to be given a handsome scenic
production at the opera house next Thurs
day evening, that it is not play, but a
leaf torn from the book of nature and held
up to the gaze of human eyes, that men
may learn the futility of worldly ambition
and the beauty of unselfishness and devo-
ton to others. The story of the Berry
family introduced in Shore Acres" is in
some sense the story of every other family
The characters are homely, simple people,
undemonstrative in their natures, narrow
in their views, but loving one another as
as only strong, deep natures can love.
Nathaniel Berry has many prototypes
The family that is without one self-sacriic-
ing member, such as he, is as unfortunate
as it is rare. The family on which the
canker OF ambition does not fasten itself
and thrive for time is equally rare. The
heartaches and pains and misunderstood
ings of the Berry family are those of every
other family, whether in New England or
in New Mexico. The portrayal of all
these things shows men what they really
are, and with touch OF nature makes
them all akin. Mr.. Herne has certainly
given to the American stage rarely inter-
esting truthful picture of human life and
he well deserves the success it has achieved

for the wear. The Oracle saws editoriallv

for the year. The Oracle says editorially .
As we came back to our school duties at
the beginning Of this year and gathered
once more in the dear old schoolroom, two
very noticeable changes greeted us. The
first was the absence Of our former princi-
pal, Prof. F. f. Chaplin. Sorry indeed
were we to lose the services of one who
proved so faithful and efficient teacher,
and was so earnestly devoted to the attain
ment Of the best good Of the school. 1t
was owing to him that the first steps were
taken towards procuring certificates of en-.
trance to various colleges, for which we
owe him deep debt of gratitude. The
second was the loss of our first assistant,
Miss Mary l. Goodrich. She began her
duties as teacher here at the time OF the
entrance of the present senior class and
her departure was a great surprise as well
as sorrow to many Of her pupils.
1t also has good word to say for Prin-
cipal Crawford and his assistant, Miss
Head.
