Cooley, contractor in Colts pistol factory at
Hartford, Connecticut, died on Monday from
the effects of having eye tooth extracted about
three weeks previously. The Hartford Times
SAYS:
The tooth was properly extracted, and nothing
remarkable occurred at the time; but soon after
the operation was performed Mr.. C.'s jaw and
face began to swell and to pain him severely
His face continued to swell until the infiamma-
ton had extended to his head and throat when
his nervous system became much affected that
delirium set in and continued, with but slight

Tor several days previous to his death, and sank
away gradually from mere physical exhaustion
until within some two days of his death, when
MODIFICATION took place, commencing in the az

Some weeks ago we penned an article pointing ont
the nadeauacy of the salaries paid State and dis
rict officials Since then the subject has been widely
commented upon by the press of the State; and it
affords us much qualification to say that our views
have received general sanction. Everywhere popular
sentiment seems running against the idea Of creating
moneyed aristocracy, by paying such starvation
salaries as will prevent any but rich men from ae-
cepting high office, or if poor allow their ambi.
ton to get the better of their Judgment and accept
high station to punish them for their weakness by
impovershing them for the remainder of their natu.
