Postage Stamps.

Some ingenious person has discovered
that the government enjoys large loan
from the people, without interest. BY the
sale Of postage stamps which are never
used:
The returns from each succeeding quar-
tel, from tho commencement Of their use in
the United State, show that the public
have been gradually purchasing them
in larger quantities than they use them
until at this time the government has been
paid nearly million Of dollars for postage
stamps and stamped envelopes, bought
by individuals or Postn,asters, which
have not. thus far, been used by the pur-
chasers. , t-t
As fast as the government redeems
these BY performing the mail serviecs
they entitle the holder to its issue others.
A considerable number are necessarily
purchased and kept continually on hand
ia advance Of their use by business men
and others, and another considerable
amount are doing duty as a circulation
medium for small rsmittauces by mail
Hence it is sviaent that the government
gains by them Ito tho extent of Sl,oO0.-
600 or more) the same permanent ad.
vantage that q bank of issue does bv
its circulating notes.--Al6uny Evening

STEAM PLow.--On Tuesday afternoon.
Mr., Fawkes made trial with his steam

Democratic Mass Meeting.
TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING!!
(IN A HORNY

We don't feel like exulting over the
misfortunes Of our neighbors, but from the
sneering manner in which the Union ad
ver.ed to the recent Republican meeting
in this place, we feel as though we would
be almost excusable il we were to become
a little funny over the result Of the
Democratic demonstration in this place on
yesterday. There have been great many
failures in this coun'ry-a great many
"6zzles we do think that the meet.
ing in this place on Wednesday can just.
ly be called the father of all "6zzles."
Notwithstanding the large posters"
announcing tha. the Honorable Geo. E.
Pugh. us. Senator, would be present,
when we came to count noses we found
that the vast concourse in attendance
amounted to about ITS persons, fifty Of
whom, at least. did not belong TO the
Democratic party. How gloriously ella.
ted George must have felt when he ap.
peared in the presence Of that immense
crowd! But enough upon that subject;
we know our Democratic friends feel bad
enough over it without being twilted about
it. .... .-..
In regard to the speaking, il is only
necessary 10 say that the first speaker, DR..
Dorsey, spent about an hour and half in
labored effort to prove that the Demo.
cratic party was more Of an anti-slavery
party than the Republican--in a word,
there was but little else than nigger in his
speech, and yet he had the audacty to
claim that the opponents OF the Democra-
tic party were the "agitators" of this
question and that they were the "niggcr
party About the only point in his
speech was an effort to con vince his hear
ers that the present Fugitive Slave Law
is the same one passed in 1898. and sign.
ed BY George Washington. The truth
Of the matter is, he INDUCED in more sill.
ly twaddle upon the subject Of slavery
than We have heard at any meeting dur.
ing this campaign.
In regard to Pugh's speech. We can
only say that every body was dis.
appointec-they expected to see digni-
fed, talented gentleman, instead of di.
little fellow whose talents will not
begin to compare with his assurance and
self-esteem. We never were 30 much

script from the records of this town (Torrington.)
"Owen Brown now of Torrington, late of Sims

February. A. D. 1873.
Anna Ruth Brown, daughter of Owen and Ruth

By reference to the Land Records in this town it
appears that Owen Brown purchased farm here in
1899, and sold the same in 1905 and am informed
by those who remember him here that he left for
the west during the last named year. The house
where the family lived, and where John was born
and spent the first five years of his life is now STAN

is about mile North West of Torrington meeting
