David N. Farrard, of Hardwick, has
been arrested for theft at HYDE Park
He has confessed to several petty
larcenies that have puzzled the latter vii

a decided sensation and it is especially
gratifying to the friends of Chester A.

fern school last fall on apparently strong
circumstantial evidence that he had
taken money from the house of Charles
E. Noyes. This confession practically es-
tablishes the innocence OF Harris, to the
qualification of his many friends and will
doubtless release him from that institu.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or infammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain S
Pain Balm would cast out demons. but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this state
ment. One application relieves the pain,
and this quick relief which it affords is

CABOT.

A good deal OF interest is being shown
just now in the question of school houses,
the village school house having been con-
denied by the State Board OF Health as
unfit for use in its present condition as
it stands in low place with water in
the basement and all around it. At an
adjourned town meeting held last Satur-
day the committee elected at the pre-
vious meeting reported that the expense
to put it in proper condition for school
purposes would be $4,000, which they
thought was a very low estimate. It
was voted to accept the report and
adjourn for three weeks. Probably
another meeting will be called at the
same time to see if the town will vote to
build a new school house to be located
about half way between Cabot and
Lower Cabot. There seems to be a very
good feeling in the matter and all agree
that it will be better to build a new
house than repair the old one.
