A COSTLY SwoRD.--One of the most
exciting features connected with the re-
cent Sanitary Fair, in this city, was the
spirited competition carried on in the rro-
ply Room, in connection with a beautiful
sword presented to the Fair by Messrs
Tiffany & Co., of this city. Books were
opened and subscriptions were received
from one dollar upwards for favorite gen.
erals of the army, each subscriber regis
tering his name for whomsover he or she
might prefer. The contest was carried on
between the respective friends Of Lieut..
General Grant and Major General Nc
Clellan. 44,9GS votes were cast, repre-
sentiug so many dollars. OF the whole
number Grant received 30.29l, and Nc
Clellan received l4,509--giving to the
former majority Of 1912. and lG3
votes were cast for various other officers.
One check for $4,000 WAS sent in from
"The Loyal Men of New York" One
loyal New Eng ander" sent in a check
for $4,000. Thus ended the sword con-
troversy. -.SciehtJGc american.

DEATH OF HON. JOHN a. CHILD.
State Com.

We are panied to be called upon to record
the death Of one of Our most esteemed
and best citizens. Mr.. Child died al
about four clock on Tuesday morning
time, and last summer abandoned his
profession for the reason that his feeble
health would not admit of his following
it. About three months since he had a
very poor turn and was confined to his
house for several weeks but so far rccov-
cred as to be able to be about, though
quito feeble, till Sunday the Oath of April,
when he was again Obliged to take his
bed. A great part of the time after this
he was delirious. and at other times so
feeble as to be able to converse but little.
Mr.. Child was native of Bakersfield
He studied law with Smalley & Adams,
of St. Adams, and was admitted to the
Bar in Franklin County about l647, and
went into business at West Berkshire the
same year. In 1913 he formed part
nership with Jasper Rand, which coptin-
ued till coming to this place in l849. He
married in 1850. About 1856 he formed
partnership with W. G. Ferrin, and af-
forwards with h. C. Benton. after whose
enlistment Waldo Brigham became his
business partner.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Child
held the Office of Senator and was also
Superintendent Of recruiting for this
county, as we'll as first selcctman for this
town.
We could hardly name a man who
would be as much missed from the county
as Mr.. Child. He was public spirited,
energetic and generous Quite number
of men in this community can point to
him as the friend who lent them the help
ing hand when making their first attempt
to start in business and in all enterprises
which had for their object the public
good, he was ever ready to take part.
Many of the men who have entered the
army have reason to remember his assist
ance in providing the means to leave Lis
family comfortable till he could get mon
ey from the government.
In his death, community lose one of its
most valuable members. and many of the
members Of that community lose a gener-
GUS friend. We all deeply mourn his
loss.

ca The New County Liquor Commiss-
Toner comes into office this week. and of
course new town agents will be appointed
in allthe towns. OF course there will
be some strife 70 see who shall have the
dignity, the profit and in return receive
the curses of the man who cannot get all
be wants to drink, and of the man whose
neighbor gets more than he ought to have.
The liquor business is very difficult mat
ter to manage The day may yet come
when people will see the truth, and learn
that all alcoholic stimulants, in sickness
and health, are injurious, and public SEN
timent will be unanimous in condemning
its sale, both as beverage and as med
icine. Till then there will be continual
trouble with it. We cannot handle fire
without danger of being burned, and the
sooner we learn to keep it in its proper
