The charges against W. S. Hanford. Esq.
first selectmen of the. town. made by the
Hour last week. are of a character in full
keeping with the spirit of the ago. Mr. Hen-

forgot to bend it over to the town. but de-
cieethst he ever intended to defraud the
town. Those who know ,Xr. Hartford. will

is s dishonest men. His lifefhee been spent

man. and Lthe fact of his memory having
failed bins in this one instance. and given a
semblance of dishonesty to this one transec-
tion. will not mar his good name.nor change
the opinion of those whose good opinion is
worth having. And we have a word of ad-
vlce to the member of the Board of Select-
men who furnished these items for publica~
tiou. and also to the “ expert“ further up.
and that is that they could be in better busi-
ness. and that which would be more to their
own interests. and the interests of those
whom they would serve. than to be using
all their energies to defame the character of
no harm! man. by putting a construction
upon the character of his acts that they

A neg freight line. consisting of barges

between New Haven and New York. the
coming season. beginning April 1.
It is reported that five lady teachers from

the spring vacation.
Minister Jewell has secured a very unbor-
teut tresty with the Russian government for
the protection of American trademarks.
Russia has long been a rich end easily
worked :uiuket for imitation goods. and
hitherto it has been found impossible to in-
duce her government to interfere. Minister
Jewell however. with his practical knowl.
e Ige of business. has been able to make the
case so plain that e Czar has consented to
protect his subjects root the lmpoeit ion of
cheap goods under false preteneee. This suc-
cess is the more gratifying. for no
state in the Union will profit more from
this just regulation then the little state of

A great many hitherto staunch Republi-
cans are now saying. “ I don‘t know whether
I am a Republican or not. but!" it were not
for the Democratic party i would soon
know." That is the trouble: a man disgust~
ed or dissatisfied with the party has no place
to go to. It was thought at one time. that
the Liberal movement might make a nucleus;
rising. as it did. in opposition to the encroach~
ments of corruption. end if—but there is no
use in talking about “ ifs." the “coalition“
did not satisfy the demands of the times. It
neither gave victory to the Democrnu. nor
opened up a way to the reform that was dc~
mandcd. But the time is rip. for a new party
end it will come. The cfl'ort to work out
reform in the dominant party. judging from
the promises of the past. and the actions of
the present. has proved a failure. end were
it not. that it would be accepting a greater
evil then that which we already have. it
would have been swept from power ore this.
The elements of which it is compound. are

to gratify personal ambition. believing that
the hatred to the homoerotic party will pre-
vent those who may not be satisfied with
their «lions from voting for the reinstate
reset of that party to power. in this they
have been successful. but the time has come
when this conddcuce must be dispelled. and
the truth forced upon the leaders that a
chant of some kind must be made. The

Entertainment.—
The event of the past week that attracted
most attention was the entertainment. under
the auspices of the ladies of the Congrcga
tlonal Societymt Military Hall. Monday and
Tuesday evenings The prophetic drama of
“ The Spirit of "ill." or “ The Coming WD'
man“ was actcd on Monday evening. and the
delineation of the characters. by the different
actors. kept the audience in a state of lillurl~
ty throughout the performance. Many local
hits were made. end keenly appreciated. The
exhibition of hire. Jarley‘e Wax Works clos-
ed the evening‘s entertainment. The “flip

Jarley‘s explanations of the remarkable crit-
ters was very amusing. and “Polo“ and
“ John“ assisted in a lively manner. On
Tuesday evening the programme was
changed; throughout. The tirel.——Statuary.
“A Sister‘s Love." was very fine; the “Songs

ment of children’s carriages; one room on
the second floor being specialty devotsdto

kinds. hold in reserve that the busy salesmen
below may be able to meet the wants of one-
tomore. The collar is also filled to repletion
with groceries. provisions end farmere' pro-
duce. In fact. from the enormous quantity
of goods on hand in those "lower regions."
you would be led to suppose that the pro-
prietor was engaged in the wholesale trade.
Mr. Knapp pays particular attention to the
selection of teas. none but the best being
kept in his store, and. buying in large quen-
tltlce. he is enabled to sell at moderate prices.
One of the principal attractions of this con-
cern. are the show windows, which. by the
good taste of the heed salesmen. Mr. More-
house. present e really beautiful appearance.
In the windows are displayed all the various
kinds of canned fruits.jolllos. spices. fancy
goods. crockery. glass ware and many ele-
gant patterns of lamps and shades. Wash-
ington street pedestrians involuntarily stop
and admire this fine exhibition. We do but
simple Justice to Mr. Knapp in thus briefly
alluding to his store, feeling that such on-
tleavors on his part to please the public
should be duly appreciated.

and at the risk of getting ourselves into a
bit of unpleasantness. we propose to relate
a;llttle incident in the career of Stephen.
In his youthful days. Steve conceived the
idea that a sprinkling of religion would be
beneficial to hint. and be consequently began
to seek for it in an earnest manner. On one
particular occasion. Stephen was called up-
on to invoke divine mercy. but felt some
embarrassment. and was loth to get down
on all fours. but finally the good spirit tuss-
tcred. and Steve with trembling voice cont-
rnenccd:-—“There is my poor old father
going down to hell—God snatch him. And
there is my old mother going to hell—God
snatch her. And there are my relatives
(calling their unmet) going down to hell—
God snake ‘em out of it.“ And this com-
pleted the player. ‘
Good old Mr. Smithson of this place. re-
cently suspected one of his hone of stealing
her nest away from home. He had tried to
watch her. but she managed to elude him
every time. The other day he took it into
his head to find that hcn‘e nest. or bust. by
gravy. After pulling down three rods of
stone wall. tipping over several hay stacks.
wading through briers and brambles. cutting
down an old hollow tree. and traversing
every spot of ground within a mile of his
house. he was rewarded by finding the nut;
but alas! its only contents was a “bad egg.“
lied and dimustcd he returned homo. and
with lacoratod hands. tom clothing. the
prcspiratlon running from every pore. he
told his wife of what had transpired. and
then went up stairs and talked in an inco-
herent strain about that hon‘s bend and a
cooking pot.
The annual meeting of the Bible Society
of Norwallcend vicinity. was holdon In the
Second M. E. Church on Sunday evening
last. A large concourse of those who fclt
an interest in the society were present. The
singing of the chair was of a fine order.
consisting. as it did. of choice and appro—
priate selections for the occasion. The an-
nual report of the Secretary of the society
which was read. was unusually interesting.
This was followed by the report of M. N.
Olnistoad. Missionary. which was replete
with incidents of a decidedly touching or
turn. connected with the travels of Mr.
Oltnstoad. Appropriate and odliylng ad.
dresses were delivered by Messrs. Hamilton.
Bentley and lllll. The Bible Society has
been organised fourteen years and during
that per-ind has accumulated a large number
of members. who have the welfare of roll-
glon at heart. and a growing interest la main
lfeatcdiu the society. Coupled with the
pleuditory and acetone interest Mr. M. N.
