Borough Meeting.
About thirty voters assembled in the
Town House yesterday afternoon in pursu-
ance of the «Him a borough meeting,
Warden Smith in the chair. The Clerk after
reading the cell of the meeting read the
statement of the borough debt and the esti-
mates of the expenditures in the various
borough departments for the ensuing year.
The estimates were as follows:
For Administrative Dcpsrlment...... . 02.000
“ “ ....... 1 000
Fire ' e
“ Highway' “ . ...... 2.500
" Lamps and Gas “ . . 2.500
“ Police - “ .. 1,700
“ Sewer “ 500
“ Finance Dept. (interest sc't) ..... ..18.000
Total 428,200
This amount does not include-the $7.000
appropriated for the building of a storage
reservoir. .
Considerable discussion was raised over a
statement made by the Chairman, of the
Water Commissioncre,in reply to a question,
that the new reservoir would not be ready
for use before the summer of 1884, the ma-
jority of the meeting seeming to prefer that
the construction be hastened so as to prevent
if possible a water famine this year in case
there should be a dry season. Mr. Moody
showed that in the interests of economy the
reservoir could be built better than than now
and after some further discussion the matter
was dropped.
A motion was then made and seconded
that a tax of ten mills on the\dollar be laid,
which tax should be due and payable Ju
, 1, 1883. An amendment was offered mak
the tax eight mills. but upon vote the former
motion was carried.
A vote making the Collector’s bond .ten
thousand dollars was then passed, and after
the transaction of some minor matters the
meeting adjourned.

any house in their‘business in the United
States. Their trade extends to every hamlet
in the country, and they pride themselves in
sending out only the very best of all varieties
of seeds. We would advise all purchasers
to procure their catalogue before buying. .
We have on our table the seed catalogue of
Hiram Sibley di 00., Rochester, N. Y., and
Chicago, Ill. It embraces all that such a
document usually contains, and in addition
has some features peculiar to itself. The
condensed essays on the culture of special
crops and garden plants. in each case, are
written by specialists having skilled expe-
rience, and hence possess unusual value.
The Vegetable Seeds Department is almost
a manual of garden practice. The Farm
Seeds Department is a feature included in no
other seedsmen's catalogue, to such extent.
Here all the desirable varieties are carefully
described. and in many cases their adaptae
tion to soils and loulities is designated. In
the Tree Seeds Department a special article
is written by that prince of American forestry,
and planting of tree seeds. The cataltiguc
has also a complete price list, and thus is
virtually a seed store, at one’s own door.

What HID“! for an Old Lady.
Cosnoc'ros STATION, N. Y., Dec. 28, ’78.
Genre—A number of people hadbeen us-
ing your Bitters here. and with marked effect.
In one case a'lady of over seventy years had
been sick for years. and for the past 10 years
had. not been able to be around half the time.
About six months ago she got so 180le she
was helpless. Her old remedies or physicians.
being of no avail. I sent to Depost, forty-
five miles, and got a bottle of Rep Bitters.
It impiflved her so she was able to dress her-
self and walk about the house. When she had
taken the second bottle she was able to take
care of her own room and walk out to her
neighbors, and has improved all the time
since. My wife and children also havocéie-

For the Guest“.
Something from the City.
Theeditor of the Sentinel having spoken
about a democratic newspaper which he said
rumor said was about to be established here,
thinking citizens remark that. while the tone
of the editor is playful, his thoughts are
quite the ravens :—that behind them all is a
lurking fear that a democratic paper in fact
as well as in name, can be, and if it is
started. will be supported. Possibly the edi-
tor has learned that said citizens, wearied of
the “ Independent in all things," cry-the
" “on the fence” policy—the continual smoth-
ering of the truth in print as the editor be-
lieves it, but promulgating it privately by
word of mouth! in short, talking one way
and printing another as the Sentinel has been
doing for years is. to employ a common
phrase, " played out." By chance he has
seen in what respect the Gaunt—always a
red hot republican 'journal is held by its op-
ponents in politics. for the very‘reason that
loss. By chance a gnawing at his political
conscience may have set in—a something
that speaks to him in this fnshion : “I am at
heart a democrat. Seven thousand people in
Norwalk who are not republicans, long for
the time when their favorite doctrines
can beelucidatcd in an organ. Since I've
been in Norwalk he had the organ, but, I
regret to say it. I have played my own. not
their tulle themes, and while I want to put
ferth my honest sentiments feeling that I
can make my mark during the approaching
preddential contest, I am powerless to do
no. the rats in which I have traveled being
too high for me to climb, or see over." ' '
One of the gamblers spoken of by the
Standard as working (i) the trains on the
New liven road, stopped at one of our ho-
tels the other day. He was identified by a
resident commuter who saw him coolly cap-
ture 040 from a passenger who had been. in-
duced to “ take a hand to make up the set"
—"just for fun," said passenger foolishly
betting on a "full," but to be utterly anni-
hilated by four queens. ' \

I have been engaged in the man-
ufacture of Confectionery about six
months and selling at wholesale
only, but iIow. through the urgent
request of many friends I have
opened a candy department in my
Store, wherel shall sell at whole-
sale and retail, Confectionery in
every variety of my own manufac-
ture, which I will guarantee pure'
and unadulterated. Not as cheap
as some sell it in Town, but as
reasonable is Pure Sugar Candy can
be sold. People do not realize the
depraved character of some of the
Candy sold throughout this country.
Much of it is made out of term alba
or tolu'te clay with enough gum to
stick it together. enough sugar to
sweeten it, and enough coloring
matter to make it. look gay.
Ihave also the usual line of. Toy

To Me Residents of If'airfi'eld County;
I desire to announce that I have .
this day completed my Fall Inven-
tory, that my business for the past.
six months has been larger than
f ever before, that my winter stock
is proportioned to {corresponding
business for the next six months
and that I. personally am ready to
meet my customers in a liberal and
generous spirit. -I believe that I
have as large, as well seasoned and
as well assorted a stock of LUMBER
on hand at this time as was ever
placed in this market.
I have over Eight Hundred Feet
in length of floor room under cover
and do offer stock from two to three
years old at the same price at which
others are offering this year’s cut.
2 I am the only dealer in this vicini-
ty who buys his stock at points of
manufacture and while I do not
claim to under-sell anybody. I do
claim that I am so situated in con-
sequence of my manner of buying
that I cannot be undersold by any-
body. and can and do give my cus-
tomers better goods and a better
assortment to select from than any
other dealer in this market.

The greater portion of my Imbber
was worked at the mills of T. H.
McGraw & Co., in Bay City, Michigan
and the quality of mill work is unsur-
passed. » My stock was all bought for
cash and the greater portion in the
Summer previous to the advance in
freights and prices. I will deliver to
any point required at reasonable
prices by rail, team or vessel. I guar-
antee correct measure and will in all
cases where it is desired furnish piece
tally, on all orders. ’
Respectfully soliciting a. continu-
Q slice of the patronage so liberally be.
l stowed in the past, and asking an ex
‘ amiimtion of stock from all who have
; not. heretofore visited me,
i I remain, I .
