Dear Sir-My attention has been called

of Waterville, and an old man who re-
Gently died in Canaan, N. H. From the
descriptions of the person and his equip
ment, | am quite sure that the man Is
none other than DIR. Brainerd who came
to this place several years ago. His rig
and general appearance was then much
better than ii naturally would be now
His hand was the largest | ever saw OIL
man, and the size of his body GORE
sponde1 with the description given Of the
man in New Hampshire
On the strength of his name and a sup
posed distant relationship, but how near
or remote l know not, he stayed at my
house over night and one or two days.
He was quite intelligent and while here
gave a temperance lecture that was high
ly spoken Of. He claimed to have ira
yelled in Europe. and to have spent sew
craI years in London. From his descrp-
tions ] judged that his claims were true.
| last saw him in Lewiston, on the
State fair grounds few years ago. He
had the same rig. We all got the i'm
preston that he had some means, but
was smart enough To take care of his
money and only use it when other means
failed Yours truly,
+. .. BRAfNERD.
Thus does Mr. Brainard attempt to show
that he old man is the Brainerd men
toned by the woman from New Hamp-
shire in these columns, this morning, and
thus do We find that the old man had
been in Lewiston. city Marshal Call is
following up the elues and it is possible
that more of mystery than ever inay
come out of Il all.
