In the case of Chris. Knoed‘ler, for a
violation of the liquor law in keeping his
place open on Sunday. appealed from the
city'coui‘t and tried upon its merits be-
fore the superior court yesterday, the
jurv brought in a verdict of guiltv. This
is the first liquor case from Bridgeport
that has been tried almost within the
memory of man, and the fact that a jury
was found who would convict, seems to
startle the community. “'e understand
now that those who cannot settle their
cases are ready to forfeit their bonds
rather than stand trial. The Society for
the Suppression of Vice and Crime has
won avictory this heat at least. It. has
demonstrated the fact that in Fairfield
county jurv will convict in a liquor
case—~Bridgepo‘rt Leader.
When the first news of Judge Gran-
ger‘s decision reached this city there was
joy among the policy players. but when
they found that the finding was not upon
the actual points of the law they were
somewhat disappointed. The question
whether policy playing could be proh‘
ited by city ordinance was not affect
by the decision. The case tried was upon
reputation. not upon the act. Upon in-
quiry we find that there is more policy
laying here than could be expected.
e hear of one milkman who plays as
high as three or four dollars a day; of a
merchant whose clerks play to such an
extent that he will be obliged to make a
general change unless they stop; of
women who take the last five cents to
play; but we have yet to hear of a case
where an one has followed up playing
without ass. A list of the players
would be very interesting. and the num-
ber of women would be astonishing.

Seed Corn Famine. "‘
Probably nineteen farmers in twenty
must buy seed corn for next spring‘s
planting. on account of the failure of the
‘83 crop to ripen. “’9 must look sharp
to the seeds we buy. that they are better
than our own. as many unreliable parties
will offer inferior stocks. to take advan—
tage of the demand. “/9 suggest that
every corn grower should send to Hiram
Sibley ct (To. the reliable seedsmen at
Rochester. N. Y.. and Chicago. 111.. for
their Catalogue and seed~corn circular.
This house, makes a specialty of seed~
corn and we. believe that they will do
what they say they will.
Au Appeal to Masons.
Grand Master Dwight “’augh has or-
dered an appeal to be issued calling on
all Masonic Lmlges in the State to con~
tribute for the relief of members of the
order in Ohio and Kentucky. and sug-
gests that each lodge take action at its
first communication and remit to the
grand secretary in New Haven. The
appeal closes with the following words:
“The devastation occasioned by these
floods is even more extensive than the
great t‘liicago.firo in 1871. and thousands
must depend largely upon the benefac-
tions of the charitable for weeks to come.
Let your action be prompt and genero s.

She replied. and since then they have

into love without sight. Friday Mr.

Miss Stevens. with the object of making
her his bride and taking her with him to
his home in the west. Tlienrrivaloftfihe
young man was the first knowledge l’llt‘

Baptist Supper and Bazaar.
Music Hall was literally jammed Moir
day evening by the attendance upon the
Supper and Japanese Bazaar in aid of
the new church fund. Before the open-
ing of the galleries the crush became ab
most unendurable. and after all the bal-
cosy seats were filled the main floor was
well occupied. The bazaar was an at-
tractive feature. and the source of con-
siderable revenue. At the bazaar there
were a great many purchasers of a cup
of genuine Japanese tea, taking with it
a prettv cup and saucer. The supper
was well served, but? the demands upon
this department were greater than had
been anticipated. and before 9 o‘clock
the cream had all been sold. The Japanese
wedding and march were novel features
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Frisbie acted as bride
and groom. and afforded a good deal of
amusement. Altogether it was one of
the most successful affairs of the kind
ever given in the hall.

Caller-do!“- Minstrels.
Manager Mitchell is to be congratula-
ted upon having secured so great an at-
traction as the famous Mammoth Cal-
lender Minstrel Festival Company for
the Opera House next Tuesday evening.
This is the largest niinstrel company in
the world. and has earned the re utatiou
of being the best. In it aret 9 great
Billy Kerssnds, Tom McIntosh. Roger
Haycraft, George Carter. Almeith. and
like celebrated minstrels. Everything
connected with it is on a mammoth
scale. Altogether it: will afford the
greatest entertainment of the kind ever
given in the town. The Little Rock
Gazette says: “As com red with the
Kit Clark-Eaves snap, it was an elec-
tric light =6!!! e I tallow candle. A
first-class programme was carefully ex-
ecuted,aotaaingle feature being omit-
tacdor gurtailed. Probably the greatest
attracuon‘nf the company is the only
Billy ds. He is a whole show in
himselfgxndrif exlibltcd alone would
never falltofill a house. Since his last
visit be has cultivated the grotesque
with great care. and is now positively
the best in his line. The Zouave drill
was beautiful. The mauuvers were in-
tricate and difllcult and the execution
was most commendable. The chicken
feature, by Jimm Johnson. was new
and pleasing. w lie the finale, the
"Dude's Ball,” was well worth witnew
lug. There is a freshness and a cleanli-
ness about the performance that is truly
gratifying. There is also an absence of
stale Jokes and threadbare gags that
can not fail to please the theatre goers.
From first to last, everything is good.”

Questions of To-day.
Soon or late we must have a party
which will embrace a principle. The
American people have too much moral
earnestness to be long content with
make~believers. Theyknow the differ-
ence between living questions and dead
issues. They will not play at politics a
great while. They will not. perpetuate
party organizations which no longer
mean anything. The only question—as
their past history shows. and is as most
hopeful for the future—Which can deeply
stir and permanently enlist the prevail-
ing sympathies of the American people
is a moral question. wherein not merely
the expedient and inexpediciit. but the
right and wrong stand out in clear de-
fined issues. It. was not the political cx‘
pediency of separation from the mother
country. but wrong of taxation Without
representation which inspired the pur-
pose'and secured the triumph of our inde-
pendence. It was not the political inex-
pedlency of slavery. but its injustice, its
wrong. which stirred the north and set
the nation in arms for its overflow. And
the party still which is to lend the nation-
1. not the party which busies itself most
It questions of profit and loss. and is
inly not the party whose main end
get into office and maintain itself
in ptlitical pun-er. but the' party which
is no afraid to plant itsel on the right
issue which it maintain simply because
it is r lit. And if the r publican party
is to k i its ascendcncy in the national
administration. it must have a clear eye
to see and a courageous heart to follow
right measures and only righteous men.
ls it right to permit Mormonism to
grow? Is it right to let tlicsale ofintox-
icating drinks pervade the streams of
our social life like poison? Is it right to
put the lie to all our protestations of
human brotherhood and freedommnd to
build a Chinese wall of separation round
about ourselves": Is it iiglit to repudiate
state debts? Is it right to treat offices
like spoils": is it right to require oreven
to permit debts contracted In on.- cur-
rency to be liquidatul iti another} These
are questions of to-day. They look us
in the eye. They demand an answer
and will have it. from the republican
par . if it is wise, and from some other
party if this party fails. Let usliope for
wisilorn In the party councils.-—-I‘h'.sivlcuf

The familv burial plot of Lester St.
John at the nion Cemetery has lately
been ornamented with a castly. massive
and elegant family monument. It towers
far above all others that are surrounding.
Its solid base indicates that it will last

pray that his name may be recorded in

enduring when this monument has gone

l‘or several years our neighbor A. J.

has attacked on numerous occasions men.
women and children, tearing their cloths
ing and frightening all the neighbors
that have occasion to as that way.
On Monday evening as is Bradly. our

hours. Sh called on r. Bell and re-
quested him keep his dog chained.and
he told her that he would not keep the
dog chained up for anybody. A com~
plaint has been made to Selectman Sam-
mistoseeto it that this dog be taken
cure of, after which a suit for damages
will be commenced against Mr. .Bell. ‘
