One Way to Account for It.
There has been a great deal said and
written in the last few years about the
“abandoned farms” of Connecticut
and New Hampshire, and many theories
have been advanced to account for the
depression of agricultural industry in
these states. Two or three generations
ago the New England farmer was a
comfortable, well-to-do citizen, not en-
riching himself, it is true, by the pro-
duce of his fields, but earning agood
subsistence, owning a cozy home, pur-
suing the‘eveu tenor of his way with-
out fear of the sheriff or tax-gatherer
and a monarch indeed, albeit in a mod-
est way. of the broad acres of “pester,”
“mowiu’ , ” and “medder” included
within his holdings.
It is natural enough that the sons of
these worthy sires should be more
ambitions to accumulate wealth, and
in pursuance of this ambition seek op-
' portunities elsewhere, but even this
circumstance does not fully explain the
degeneration of a pursuit which at
least insures a good living to its in-
industrious followers. .
May it not be, says the Philadelphia
Times, that the craving for petty offi-
ees and political distinction; which in
these latter days have assumed a sort of
epidemic form, as well as the desire to
get rich. has contributed to check our
agricultural prosperity?
There will always be too little good
farming where there is too much bad
polities.

Sound Advice for Connecticut.
The Norwich Bulletin prints a mighty
sensible and convincing editorial on
Governor Morrié’s treatment of the
constitution in his message; It uses
the apt title “Legislature or Mass
Meeting.” The Bulletin points out that
the representation of the towns in 1818
Was not “substantially equal and just”
as regards population, and was not
based on population. It puts the case
this way : '
Hasn’t- the town of Norwich as geod
a right to two representatives in the
body of town representatives as the
town of NewHaven ? Do you say No ?
Then what right has the State of
Connecticut to two representatives in
the Senate of the United States while
the State of New York has’but two.
New Haven has 90,000 inhabitants
and Norwich has 26,000. Should the
town of Norwich, asa town, have less
representation, therefore ?
New York has more than 6,000,000 in-
habitants, and Connecticut has less
thanz750,000. Should the State of Con,
necticut, as a state, have less ,repre-
sentation, therefore ?
The Bulletin admits that our Senate
is not constituted as it should be, and
it adds :
Make the body of popular represent-
atives more truly representative of the
popular vote and the thing will be wise
and just. Make the body of town rep.
resentatives even more truly represent-
‘ ative than it now is of '-the individual
towns, and that will be wise and right.
But in the name of common prudence
and ordinary sense, don’t try to set up
in Hartford two' bodies, both repre-
sentative of identically the same thing,
and neither capable of acting as a

check or a balance wheel upon the

_ We might just as well have govern-
ment by mass meeting—which is the
very thing that sensible men don’t
want, whatever demagogues may pre-
tend. when they are trying to bamboo-
zle and hoodwink unthinking listeners
or readers.
Confirm Him.
Now that the members of the South
Norwalk fire department have again
indicated their preference for Samuel
McGowan as Chief Engineer of that
department, the Council should con-
firm him at their meeting next Mon-
day night. The department being a
volunteer one, serving without pay or ’
reward, it is no more'than right that
they should select the’r- own officers,
and the Council would do well to con-
sider this fact. If the members who
volunteer their services in defending
the property of the city tax pavers
were paid by the city for their services
or for their. ruined clothes, or ii’ the
Council were obliged to serve under
the heads of the fire department, there
would be sufficient excuse for the
Council to take a hand in the appoint-
work choose their chief, and that chief
recognized throughout the state as one
of the best, the Council should confirm
their choice. -

A Free Trip to Washington.
The GAZETTE proposes to present to
the most popular person in town a

popularity to be determined by a vote

February 25th, 1803, and the result to
be announced on Monday, February
27'. In order to facilitatcfhe voting
and for the convenience of the voters
an official ballot will be printed in
these columns every day, which is to
be cut out, and the blank lines filled in
by the voter,with the name and address
of the candidate and sent to the GA"-

Hoyt refused to play the company as
agreed. Mi“. Kendall then went to \‘v’.

tried to get him to play the troupe, but
Mr. Knapp refused stating that he had
leased the hall to Hoyt and expected
him to pay for it. He, however, consen-
ted to accompany the manager to Hoyt’s
and try to adjust matters. Arriving
there, Hoyt still refused to play the
troupe, and suggested that manager
Knapp play them. To this Mr. Knapp
objected, stating that he held Hoyt res-
ponsible for the $35, the rent of the
hall. The manager then counted out
the money and paid Hoyt for the hall,
and the Koznedians appeared as an-
nounced, but not under the manage-
ment of Mr. Knapp. '

Killed No More Sheen
Within the last few months the town
of Bedding has been called upon to
pay between $40 and $50 for sheep
killed by dogs. A certain Newfound-
land was suspected of being the author
of _all the carnage, although proof pos-
itive was lacking. Even with the proof
theselectmen would have been no bet-
ter off as regards securing reimburse-
ment for the town of the money paid
out, as the owner of the dog did not
possess in sight at least, property to
satisfy a court judgement had one been
obtained against him. Nevertheless
the selectmen felt sure that his dog was
guilty and would keep on killing sheep
unless effective preventive measures
were taken.
After weighty deliberation they hit
upon a happy solution of the problem,
this being the purchase of the'dog pro-
vided the price was not too high.
When the agent appointed to open ne-
gotiations with the owner reported that
the animal could be bought for $4.50
he was instructed to at once close the
bargain. With due dispatch he per-
formed the task alloted to him and re-
appeared wrth the dog securely held by
'a rope. The rest was very easy. One
of the selectmen brought out a revolv-
er anstwo or three shots did the work.
Since then there has been no sheep k11-
ling in the town by dogs, and the peo.
ple regard the $4.50 as money well in-
vested.
