An Imposter

One of the vile imposters of thit world has been "taking In" the people of Troy, Marlboro and Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, by representing himself to be "Dr. A. W. Chase, of Ann Arbor, Mich.," and the author of the fatnous Receipe Book bearing bis name, and published (uoless surreptitiously) only by tbls establishment. Mr. H. C. Newton, editor of the Home Companion, Troy, New Hampshire, writes us an extended letter, giving a complete description of the fraud's transactions in that locality. On the strength of being the author of the famous Dr. Chase's Receipe Book he engaged to cure sever&l persons of various diseases, securing $16 from one man, $18 from another, $15 from another, and so on. He left the following with one man as hls address: "A. VV. Chase, Ann Arbor, Mich., Box 300," The medicines he left were nothing but sweetened water, our informant tells us, vrilh some herb put in to gire it a bitter taste. Mr. Newton has written to Maso W. Tappan, the Attorney General of New Hampshire, and if the can secure the fellow tliey propose to make it hot for him. It might be well to add that Dr. A. W. Chase, the author of the Receipe Book, is not living, and his oi:ly son is engaged as a journalist in Toledo, Oliio, so that those representing theuiselves to be elther are imposters. The public will do well to be warned. NoW that the kickers have bounced O. W. Powers of Kalamazoo from the Utah judgeship, they are fighting among themselves over who hall be the next man. President Cleveland has a difflcult task indeed to arbítrate between bi contending conttltuents.
