FALLS VILLAGE.

Last Monday evening, the residence of Mir. Elisha Dean, living just south of this village, was burglariously entered, quan- tity of butter, cheese and lard was taken, and 8 carpet cut out of the loom. It ap- pears that the robbers had no conveyahce, as they took Mir. Dean's wagon from the barn, loaded up the articles, and were bringing out his horse, when young man, a nephew of MT. Dean, named Miles Han chett, discovered them. He fired revol- yer at them, two or three times, as they started to run, wounding one of them, it Is thought, as 8 quantity of blood was found on rock short distance from the house in the direction they ran. One of the robbers returned the fire, the ball passing through Hanchett's hat. There were three robbers, two of whom returned short time afterwards, and it was thought they were looking after their wounded companion. There seems to be gang of thieves in this vicinity, and every one has to keep every thing under lock and key.

The November Meteors.

We are in receipt of the following &C., count of the great meteoric shower, this year, as seen at Cornwall:
 The display of natures fireworks on the night of Nov. 18th, and morning of the 14th was grand. The shooting sparks of fire were frequent all night, and seemed to culminate between the hours of 2 and A. M., equaled only by the like occurrence of Nov 18th, 1883. Your correspondent saw some as large as inches in diameter, lighting up the whole heavens like flash of lightning. leaving 8 trail of light continuing visible 15 and 20 minutes, and at times 10 or 15 were seen at 8 time. Inclosei is what another saw at about the same hour
 ''Those who witnessed the meteoric shower of the night of Nov 18th and morning of the 14th consider themselves very fortunate. The people of Cornwall not being star-gazing community, we had forgotten to look out for the November dis play, (which astronomers tell us is occasioned by the meeting of our planet in it's orbit with nebu- leus body in is orbit.) Consequently they lost great pleasure. Wewere not wakened until near ly day light, and then observing the light produce ed by the large meteors, got up to ascertain the cause and were not slow Tn seeking good points of observation. <
 "Some of the meteors, were mere streaks of light others balls about the size of Sirius seemingly de- tached from the line of light caused by their pas- sage, looking like heavenly exclamation points, and beautifully colored. We noticed violet, rose. yellow, and many of a faint green tirge. Two, much larger, were observed giving as much light in their passage to cause objects to cast distant shadows. One of these left long train of light at first, straight. which gradually curled like sing ed hair, and, after lapse ot perhaps five minutes. took the appearance of light cloud of smoke, re- maining in the sky for long time. We estimated fall of fifty a minute. They were scattered through all parts of the heavens but seemed much more frequent in the southeast and northeast, ,ra- diating apparently in most instances from the con- stellation Leo. A
 s'The sky was cloudless, and could not have been in better state for observation, but, they grew fainter, fewer and less beautiful the east began to grow ruddy with the approach of the constant wonder that gives light to us by day. His herald and forerunner, Venus the Lucfer of the ancients, had long been looking placidly at the short-lived meteors, as if to warn them that day would soon close their existence to mortals. As the sun rose, and the full light of day beamed upon upon us the wonders of the night seemed but fading dream"

DG~ The Danbury Times deserves the credit of admitting the popularity of Grant, and the unpopularity of Seymour, more frankly than any other Democratic paper in the State:-
 THE RESULT AND ITS LEssoNs-The result of the Presidential election was complete defeat to the Democratic party. There were some who truly believed we should succeed, there were others who doubted, but none could believe that our defeat would have been so great. It was far beyond the antlcipations of the most sanguine Radicals. Our disadvantages in the contest were few, and appa- rent, we think, to almost every member of the Democratic party.
 Horatio Seymour is an exemplary Christian, a gentleman by education, and Statesman of su. perior abilities. But Horatio Seymour was un popular with the mass of conservative voters. His record during the July riots was misrepresented Ill the most slanderous manner, and with what eff feet Tuesday will amply show. The dissatisfac- ton with which the younger portion of the party on Nov. Sd. The Conservative men nominated a Conservative man their wishes were disregarded Hancock was thrown over, and Seymour nomina. ted. <
 Grants popularity is shown ln the fact that he ran ahead of his ticket, wherever another was rum Seymour's unpopularity is shown Tn the fact that he invariably ran behind his ticket in the same in- stances.
 The moral of all this is that success should nev- CT be sacrificed to the preferences of clique. Gen. Blairs Brodhead letter has been so conspic. uously canvassed that it is barely necessary to point out the direction of it's influence. -

Spain.

True democrats are growing more and more interested in Spain as the time ap- breaches for the election of her Constitu- ent Cortes, or, as we should call it, her Constitutional Convention. We have no doubt Victor Hugo, in his magnificent ap- peal, states but the simple truth: sSpain a Monarchy, Spain is little; Spain republic Spain is great.
 But can Spain be 8 republic; not a sham like those that fail, daily, in the great American territory she once owned but real republic? We be- ieye that she can. We believe she would find a constitutional republic more easy running political machine than constitu- tional monarchy. The hereditary monarch must be an expensive nonentity or bale ful entity; useless Victoria, or hateful Napoleon III. Could America have endu- red the heirs of George Washington, even? Think of the Washington of our day; the man who farmed out the memories of Mount Vernon till he could realize a great price from the ladies of the country for the ashes of its Father! Think of him, under the highest title known to the servility of man, daring to meddle with the great cause the people of this Union have but lately decided! Think of Johnson, not merely for life. but an hereditary Johnson; bad enough, unquestionably. but no worse than the average Stuart, the average Bourbon, the average Gulph!
 Signor Orense's scheme of government, which we copy on another page, strikes us very favorably; It may not be as good as the American, but it is simpler. Our numer- ous checks and balances. our nice appor- tionment of sovereignty between State and Nation, legislature, judiciary, and execu- tive, suit us, but they tangle up foreigners inextricably. Mexico cannot work such 8 piece of machinery; neither did we, our selves, find it run easy, through the Rebel lion. It is just the thing for people that need little governing; poor contrivance enough for those who need to be governed much.
 Democracy is gaining ground fast in Spain. May it succeed in making the inn perial nation of Europe's dawning civiliza- ton tho leader of her dawning republi- canism.
