MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.

Bernard Murray, a young man WHO is
serving a short sentence in the Jail in
Greenfield for larceny committed at
Lake Pleasant, is suspected of being a
firebug. He has been identified as a man
seen in Springfield the night of July
when eight fires broke out in single
neighborhood within a short time. He
was at work as night clerk in the Will
son House in North Adams when fire
destroyed the hotel and other property
to the value of over $4,000. He was In
Turner's Falls when fires thought to be
of incendiary origin broke out and was
in the Central House in Greenfield when
fire was discovered there. He belongs
to good family in Hartford, Conn.,,
where his father was formerly a fire
commissioner. 1t is alleged that he left
Hartford two years ago on account OF
some trouble over a check, and suspicion
rested upon him at that time in connec-
ton with several fires in that city.

While the citizens commend the wis
dom of the selectmen in advising the
covering of all places where garbage
collects, what shall be said concerning
the unsanitary condition of the sewer
which empties on the rocks just below
the cement bridge three or four feet
above the bed of the brook, where its
offensive odors are troublesome to those
who live near and which is an unwhole
some breeding place for flies, the ac
knowledged pest of the country? A year
ago the same condition prevailed on the
Bonnyvale brook and the sewer was con-
nected with the main sewer, the con-
tents of which lie uncovered, menace
to the health of the community. The
selectmen promised to extend the sew
err so that it would empty into the bed
of the brook, but months have passed
and nothing has been done.

Everybody Is well treated at that

Ask your neighbor who deposits there
and see II he does not vouch for the

There is only one way to cure deafness,
Deafness is caused by an infiammed

and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
