Ruxaway.—On Tuesday last a horse, at
tached to a wagon, belonging to the Pawtucket
Steam and Gas Pipe Company, which was left
in the vard at the gas works in this village
for a few moments, was frightened by the
sudden escape of steam from an exhaust pipe,
and quickly made his exit. On his way out
of the vard he struck the fence, leaving a
broken wagon behind, and did considerable
injury to the harness, but was finally stopped
while coming down Central street, opposite
Mr. Manchester’s eating saloon, without doing
any other damage.
b o ek
Toven Drixg.—Wednesday afternoon two
men brought a load of coal from one of the
Pawtucket yvards to the shop of Messrs. R
Plews Co., where they were to put it in the
cellar. The firm use muriatic acid in their
business, and having some left of a carboy,
had put it into a champagne bottle and left it
in the cellar. One of the coal-men, secing the
bottle supposed it contained something good
to drink, and so took a good pull at it; but
the stuff was too much for him, and he rushed
into Dr. Mann's office, which is near by, ex
claiming, “I'm poisoned, I'm poisoned!”
Fortunately however, the Dr. was able to re
lieve him in a short time. We hardly think
he'll take another drink out of a bottle till he
finds out what its contents are.
Evexise Scuoors.—The following sums
have been subseribed for the purpose of sus

We are glad to see that our manufacturers
are awake to the interests of education, and
we have no doubt but that all who attend
these schools will be benefitted thereby. The
progress made by a majority of the scholars
last winter was very gratifying.
Fire.-Wednesday evening about 100'clock,
fire was discovered breaking out of the rear of
Mr. David F. Bagley’s Bakery, on Central
street. The alarm was given promptly, and a
stream of water from the Stafford Mf'g. Co's
force pumps was soon playing upon the build
ing. The firemen also were quickly on hand,
but as the building was wholly of wood and
as dry as tinder, it was badly damaged before
the fire was extinguished. Most of the stock
in the front room was removed. Mr. Bag
ley’s loss is about $7OO, covered by insurance.
Messrs. Fuller Eldridge occupied one store
in the building for their fish market, which
was damaged by water about $3O. Their in
surance had been cancelled by the Chicago
fire.
Wipe Awakik—Rainbow Division No. 1,
S of T., of this village, are bound to succeed,
its members being wide awake not only in
temperance matters, but in lively social meet
ings, in which the members, one and all, par
ticipate, thereby producing a unity of interest
and feeling, without which no organization
can long exist. Monday night three were ini
tiated into the order, and the Division was

the Division returned home fully repaid for
their visit, and the bond of union existing be
tween these Divisions was more strongly
united in the glorious cause of temperance
than ever. W. B F

A¥Frav.—Last Sunday aflernoon between
four and five o'clock, as Officer Cavanaugh
was standing near the corner of Sprague's
Avenue, talking with some persons, a man by
the ngme of John Merrill came up and said—
There isn't a constable in this town but
what I can lick.” Cavanaugh says you had
better go home;” he replied with an oath, ‘1
shan’t go home,” and came up and shook his
fist in the officer’s face, and dared him to
arrest him. The officer took hold of him,
when Sam. Cassidy stepped up and took the
cane out of Cavanaugh's hand, and then Cava
naugh tried to arrest both of them, calling for
help, but the ones he called on refused to help
him, while Pcter Wright and Merrill's brother
pitched in, making four of them, who were
kicking and striking the officer: Merrill at
this time had Cavanaugh by the throat, who
sceing affairs looked desperate drew his revol
ver, cocked it, and told them to stand back or
'he would shoot. Cassidy grabbed the officer’s
-wrist, and while doing so the pistol discharged,
shooting Peter Wright just below the ribs.
Cassidy then run with the revolver, pursued
by Cavanaugh, until he got to the end of the
‘avenue, when he threw it down, and left for
parts unknown.
The wounded man was taken to his house
on Cowden street, and Dr. Mann called in,
who dressed the wound, which though serious
is not necessarily fatal, though one or two of
the Providence papers have said he was dead.
We learn that Cavanaugh has been arrested
for shooting Wright and his case will come
before Justice Crowningshield to-morrow. As
far as we can learn the facts, we think he was
Jjustified in pgrotecting himself against a gang
of roughs, and if he had shot more of them it
might have been a good lesson. There are
parties in some localities in our village that
will never behave until they are shown that
the law and the officers are stronger than they
are, and il it is necessary to shoot a few before
they learn the lesson, their absence will not
prove a serious loss to this community.
Ovr New Deror has put on a bandsome
French roof, which adds much to the external

PresexTATION —At a social gathering at
the vestry of the Pawtucket Congregational
Charch, on PFriday evening of last week, there
was a very pleasant episode in the form of a
presentation of a handsome gold watch to Mr.
Charles P. Read. Mr. Read- bas-been a mem
ber of the choir of this ¢hurch since the new
house was completed, and has sung gratuitous
ly the members of the congregation therefore,
took this method of expressing their apprecia
tion of his services. The presentation was
made by Rev. Mr. Woolley in very fitting
terms.
Miss Katr Staxtox held forth in Armory
Hall last Friday evening, o an sudience of
about two hundred people. Her theme was
the very euphonious one of *“Whom to marry.”
The doctrines advocated by the fair speaker
were of that peculiar sort which admits of the
greatest and most unrestrained Jiberty in all
matters pertaining o divorce and marriage,
doctrines that are not considered quite ortho
dox either socially, morally, or politically. A
sort of Oneida community would scem 1o be
the height of Miss Stanton’s ambition.

Lisrany AssociatioN Lecteres -The sale
of reserved seats for the Library Association
course of lectures, took place last Saturday
morning, and was more suceessful than had
been anticipated. A new interest in the mat
ter seemed to have been awakened, which,
while it is gratifying to the committee, argues
well for the course itself. A large number of
tickets were disposed of at the opening sale,
and many have been sold sinee still a consid
erable number of very desirable seats are not

Bookstore. 4k
B. W. Pearce, Esq., of Newport, formerly

village, called The Sparkling Fountain,”
and as an evidence of the good-will of certain
partics whose traffic was in danger from his
persistent efforts in behalf of temperance, he
found his type and material in the Blackstone
River, one morning.

I. O. o O F.—Good Samaritan Lodge of
Odd Fellows intended to have had a public
demonstration of the Order in this village, on
Thursday of next week. Arrangements to
this end had been commenced, and considera
ble progress made when the sad tidings of the
calamities and sufferings in the West came to
hand. Acting upon the principle that is the
chief corner stone of the Order, the public
demonstration was at once abandoned, and
the money that had been appropriated for this
purpose (§250.) was promptly given to relieve
the victims of the fire fiend. It is a most
commendable step, and one that raises the
Order in the estimation of all thinking people.
HowLy Servionre ExcaMpuMent of Knights
Templars made a fine appearance last Monday
morning as they marched through our streets,
on their way to take the cars for Boston.
They numbered 50, and were accompanied by
the Foxboro' Brass Band, 23 pieces. In the
evening when they returned, they were es
corted from the depot to their Asylum by Gil
more's Cornet Band, which bad volunteered
their services, and the Band were invited to
partake of the supper which had been pre
pared by J. E. Dispeau, whose spreads are
hard to beat. The Sir Knights expressed
themselves as highly pleased with their trip to
Boston, and the only drawback to their pleas
ure was the long and tedious trip home in the
steamboat train, which consumed nearly four
hours.
Goop Prvek.—Last Sunday wmight, Mrs.
Peck, residing on Mulberry street, Fairmount,
hearing a noise in her hen-coop, went out and
soon returned with ‘a fine specimen of the
Mephitis Americana, better Known by the
term of skunk, which she was choking. while
Mr. Skunk had fastened his teeth in her
thumb, and wouldn't let go. With the aid of
another lady who came to her assistance, the
beast was choked to death, but it was neces
sary to pry his jaws apart with an iron before
the lady’s thumb could be extricated. It is
needless to say that the clothes of both ladies,
and the house were scented with a perfume
which though equal in strength, yet differed
in quality from Lubin’s Extracts.

Fousn Deap 18 A CELL.—Last Sunday af
ternoon, a man by the name of William Ward,
aged 61 years, was arrested on a charge of
revelling, and confined in the Tooleville
bridewell, in North Providence, not far from
the city line. At midnight, the officers in
charge left the bridewell, and about 1 o'clock,
James O'Brien, another boarder in the same
hotel, occupying the cell next to Ward's,
heard bim calling murder, fire, ete., and no
ticed that the building was full of smoke. He
then tried to obtain help by shouting, but no
relief coming, he covered his head up in the
bed-clothes, fearing suffocation.
About 6 o'clock Monday morning some peo
ple passing heard the cries for help and called
the officers who unlocked the bridewell, and
found that the fire, which was still smoking,
was in Ward's cell, where he was found dead,
his clothes and the bunk and straw tick being
considerably burned. Coroner Eddy held an
inquest over the body, Monday, and the jury
returned a verdict that the man came to his
death from suffocation. Ward lived on Smith’s
Hill, Providence, and is said to have been
perfectly sober when arrested. The fire was
probably caused by an attempt to light his
pipe. eG ettt

R. EDITOR :—Among civilized communities there is no disease more prevalent,
more universally offensive, more productive of discomfort or more liable to give rise
to variety of distressing and dangerous complications than Catarrh. In its pro
gressive stages of development, the senses of smell and taste are frequently lost, hearing and
sight often suffer severe injury. Throat affections, Asthma and Bronchial complaints are suc
cegsively produced, and Consumption is almost its inevitable resalt.
The disease usually manifests itself in the mucous membrane lining the cavities of the nose,
but spreading beyond its primary seat, it soon penetrates into every cell, crevice and cavity of
the head with which the nasal passages communicate, until at length it becomes diffused over
the entire extent of the muco-pulmonary tract,
The earliest, most prominent and characteristic feature of catarrh is a discharge from the
head consisting sometimes of a clear, acrid fluid, but oftener of a thick, fetid, purulent, yvellow
or greenish yellow matter, which is usually secreted in excessive abundance, and discharged
through the nostrils or throat, and frequently by both channels.
The nature of this discharge varies in different cases, and even in the same individual, at
different times. In some it is copious and of a loose or fluid character, whilst in others it is
very viscid or gummy, adhering to the diseased membrane with a glue like tenacity, and remov
able only with great difficulty—a condition more particulaily noticed on rising in the morning,
because, during sleep, the purulent secretion hardens and accumulates with greater facility.
Not unfrequently the discharge collects mainly in the back part of the head, sbove and behind
the soft palate, creating a feeling of embarrassed respiration and a general uneasiness in the
parts involved. When thus affected, an almost irresistable desire is constantly experienced to
relieve the discomfort by drawing the mucus down into the throut, so as to ¢ject it by the
mouth. This practice, popularly known as “hawking,” is characteristic of the complaint, and
proves as embarrassing to the one affected as it is disagreeable 1o those around him.
Again, the offensive matter concretes into dry hard masses or crusts, which obstruct breath-
ing and are very difficult to detach, their dislodgment often requiring the most violent efforts.
Sometimes these incrustations come away in small hard lumps or fragments of a deep green
tint, but oce sionally broad and flat casts of notable size are expelied on which traces of blood
may at times be observed. This condition is very liable to run on to serious ulceration, involv
ing an loss of the bony structure of the nose and a subsequent flattening of that organ.
The efforts 1o relieve the head in the morning, by hawking or blowing the nose, are fre
quently most distressing. Often they bave obe so violent and persistent that the lungs and
chest become strained and sore, nausea, retching, and even vomiting ensues, and severe head
ache or dizziness not unusually follows and augments the general distress. In some cases even
the most powerful efforts may fail to clear the head, until some food or stimulant is swallowed,
after which the viscid secretion becomes somewhat softened and is disldged more readily.
In cases where the discharge is copious and of a loose or fluid character, it frequently dis
turbs the sufferer’s rest by the necessity of freqaent expectoration, becruse the purulent fluid
is naturally more apt to run into the throat when, as during sleep, the head is thrown back.
Should expectoration be neglected, as may occasionally happen during heavy sleep, the inva
lid is started from his rest by asensation of choking caused by the filling up of the throat with
the sceumulsted secretion from the head. In order to avoid as much as possible, this unpleas
ant consequence, many persons suffering from Catarrh, are obliged to sleep with the head very
much elevated, as the only position in which their rest is comparatively undisturbed.
The nasal membrane is usually very much thickened and congested, causing the nose 1o be
stopped up sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other, and often on both, giving rise o a
disagreeable, stufly sensation in the head, and occasionally to violent paroxysms of sneezing.
The thickened condition of the mucous membrane, and the collection of the purulent mat
ter in the nasal canals, interferes with respiration through the nose and obliges persons so
affected, 1o breathe through the open mouth, a practice very deleterious at all times, but more
particularly so during sleep, which under such circumstances is always restless and accom
panied by-a heavy snoring sound.
A fecling of fulness, heat, irritation, soreness or pain is generally experienced in the nostrils
near the root of the nose, as well as in the upper part of the throat, especially in that portion
situated above and behind the soft palate, and headache is rarely altogether absent. A dis.
tressing sensation of heavy weight or compression is usually complained of over the forehead,
and especially in the region immediately above and between the eyes. Sometimes the pain is
obstinately fixed in some particular part, as in the temples, on top of the head, at the back of
the neck or behind the orbits, and occasionally pain manifests itselt in the face of s severe a
character, that it is frequently mistaken for neuralgia.
Sooner or later the disorder spreads downwand, giving rise to a distressing sensation of dry
ness in the throat, sccompanied by a feeling of fulness or a choky sensation and a frequent
disposition to swallow. At times there is considerable of uneasiness or even soreness about
the larynx, so that in some instances the patient is obliged to press the throat so as to speak or
swallow with comfort. There is generally more or less cough; sometimes it amounts only to
a clearing, raking cffort, productive either of no expectorstion at all, or merely of a pellet of
blueish looking mucas, but oceasionally the cough is severe and the expectoration extremely
tenacious, requiring persistent efforts to dislodge it
The voice is generally affected and becomes hoarse, muffled, weak, or uneven, assuming a
nasal character or an unpleasant sniffing quality.
The breath is usually tainted and assumes at times an exceedingly fetid and sickening odor.
In some cases it becomes so revoltingly offensive as to render the sufferer an object of disgust
to himself as well as to others.
The sense of smell is usually blunted, perverted, or entirely lost in Catarrh, and a similar
effect on taste may be oceasionally observed. The eyes are apt *o become irritable and dis
posed to water excessively on exposure 1o the cold or wind, and a sense of weariness of sight
is usually experienced after slight exertions. Hearing becomes frequently more or less im
paired. At first it may suffer only by spells, being generally restored spontanecusly during
the act of gaping, sneezing or coughing, with something like a snapping sound, but by degrees
the spells of deafness occur more often and last longer, until at length the difficulty is
continuous and remains permanent. Noises in the head of every conceivable description very
often accompany the impaired condition of hearing, and add materially to the existing distress.
The stomach generally suffers more or less, and becomes weak and irritable; the appetite is
capricious, and is nearly always bad in the moming.
At the commencement of Catarrh the general health is usually not materially disturbed, but
by degrees it becomes almost invariably more or less affected, only in a few exceptional cases
is a fair state of health preserved.
The patients generally complain of lassitude and fatigue, an incapacity for either physical or
mental exertions, a feeling of weight and discomfort in the region of the stomach and con
stant disposition to drowsiness and sleep. The mental faculties are also sometimes slightly
affected, loss of memory being more or less present.
Catarrh may prove fatal, either by debilitating the system and wearing out the paticat, or by
travelling downward, and producing consumption.
The latter tendency has been so repeatedly noticed that Catarrh is now generally regarded
as one of the most frequent and important Cavases of that fatal complaint, but an extensive
experience has taught us to ook upon Catarrh not merely as a cause, but in fact as a premo
nition and one of the earliest manifestations of Consumption.
TREATMENT OF CATARRH.
OUR METHOD OF TREATMENT for the cure of Catarrh is philosophic, commending
itself at once 1o the common sense of every sufferer. It embraces the thorough topical medi
cation of every portion of the affected regions by a novel and ingenious process, by which
every part of the diseased membrane is effectively reached and subjected to the most perfect
and compléte remedial control.
So effective is this plan of treatment that its striking advautages exhibit themselves from the
very commencement of treatment. A single application is generally productive of prompt
and immediate relief. The aflected cavities are thoroughly cleansed from the incrusted mor
bific matter, the offensive smell is removed, and relief from other troublesome symptoms is
almost immediately experienced. The discharge soon diminishes, irritation is allayed, the
inflammation subsides, ulcerations are made to heal, and finally a radical and permanent cure
is effected.
The applications do not cause the least pain, inconvenience or unpleasant sensation, and
after the necessary instruction, the treatment can be followed at home with perfect snccess and
without any interruption to diet or business.
