LITCHFIELD, DECEMBER IS, 1893,


 The County Court commenced its session in ihis place on Tuesday last.
 The following preamble and resolution was adopted without opposition the House of Representatives oi New Hampshire, a few days since. When a body of men holding public office make so decided decara- ton of their sentiments relation to the of nOx- icating liquors we may confidently hope that their ample will have it's due influence in bringing about the desirable reform which the friends of temperance have in view Public opinion has undergone an as- ,onshng change in regard to the propriety of using ardent spirits, within the past year two and those engaged in the good cause have only to persevere in order to consummate their praiseworthy efforts. If the above example were be followed in every state in the union, it would be mighty step towards pulling down the strong holds of Bacchus
 "Whereas great efforts in operation to les- sen the of ardent spirits, and the members of this House feeling disposed to aid tho good cause by their example, tn reore,
 Resolved, that we will make of ardent spirits in respective boarding houses during the present session of the legislature"
 President Adams has made arrangements to spend
 great share of his time for the future Washington, the southern climate being more favoraby adapted to the health of his wife.
 GRUMBLERs.---This may be empha,ically styled inc age of grumbIing. There the politician, who grum bes because the dear people, for whom he has most fathery regard will elevate him to office; the lawyer, because he cannot get more clients to fleece; the physcian because he cannot obtain more patients, whom stuff with the of his galli pots; the merchant because he cannot get more toners to shave;--:n word, all men are grumh'ers But amidst all this universal complaining and fault finding, the printer comes in for goody proportion of f"kicks and cufs They all grumble in concert at him. Some wish him to fiji his sheet with more mat ter of one description, and some another. 1t some thing with them with ihe man who never could go to meeting account of the weather--it always too hot or too cold, too dry. Now it ther difficult matter suit every body, when there are as many different tastes there ndividua! persons cook, whose business it should be to ca ter for the uaaes of eight or ten hundred persons, and who should be obliged to provide for each ndi- vidua the dish he preferred, would, we opne, have some what difficult task to perform Precisely so with the printer. No of his readers think exactly a.
 like as to wha. would in their opinion constitute prop CT matter to fill paper We would like to see newspaper which all of our subscribers should have
 
 proportions of matter adapted the taste every one. It would be spacious as heavens canopy; and we would be willing to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca in order to get peepat it.
 The following advertisement is copied from an O. ho paper The of the poor wight is to be sure rather hard one; he may however console hlmseh with the reflection that he is enviable situation, compared with some hen-pecked husbands who would be glad to get rid of her spouses they could; but who are not only obliged to take half dozen daily lessons of Xantippean philosophy, but also submit to the operation of having ther ''heads combed with rhree-legged s:oo' as ofen may be. My case hardened wife Charlotte has again fled from my just authority aud protection. without advl- sing consulting me on ths doubtful and impoi tic step, nor this the first offence of this kind she has commtted---for nine years past she has anDuaiiy served the same trtck and always about thIs tune of the year, which cannot account for. have had Job like patience and have torborne thus far to tell the world of the shame she has cast upon me. Now let all whom may concern know that from this day forth shall pay no debt of her contracting WALTER CROUCH. N B. This is the tenth time she has run away- nine times have taken her m again, and II she ever takes me in again, I'll be- VIC. A day two since, pumpkin-headcd "lchabod Crane" sort of Jonathan, came into our office, for
 
 After edtyng himself amazingly for an hour two, by examing the wonderful apparatus of printing tabIishment he must needs try his skill at handling types. Jonathan accord ngly laid his G7paw upon
 short article put type for insertion in the paper, and down tumbled "A Dreadful Accident into heap of pi. By gosh," says he, "I didn't think the tarnal things would squash down SO darn'd easy."- Now aside from delaying work, it makes the dppl we don't mean Old Nick himself, but the evil one attached office] grumble; and we prefer to l have people who favor with their company, keep their hands, as well the capes of their cloaks and great-coas, at prope. distance from matter which is put u type--for although it requires some labor to set up types it is very easy thing to upset them. | The members of the Georgia and South Carolina delegations in Congress made their appearance in Washington a the comme ncement of the presentses- sion, dressed in SC homespun. We commend this | manner of show ng sther opposition to the tariff HFWe are very much in want of an additional ouantum of the essence of gratuitous ddrice. Our stock s nearly out, and wsh to obtain small n,ity for the purpose of bong up for future We shall depend upon those who deal in the article for supply.
