Litchfield enquirer., 1869-04-01
LITCHFIETD

The Superior Court was in session at this place, last week. Quite number of foreigners were naturalized.
 A we'll known physician and musician of this place met with Q queer nlishap last Saturday. He undertook to climb info one of the windows of St. Michaal's, to get some music books for the evening practice, After rattling while, he made raise, and got one knee and part of his body in at the window, when, To and behold, he found himself face to face with congregation engaged at an afternoon Lent service. Tbe doctor dropped like a Democratic capdi. date in the Fifteenth Senatorial District. and several heads, inside, went down, pray erfully it is to be presumed, just about the same time.

 A BIG ScARE.-Publishing as we do, a day earlier than the Sentinel, the week be- fore election gives that paper chance for unfair statement and for unfair reply, which, We are bound to say, it has seldom abused. Still, however. human nature ig weak and Democracy is strong, here in Litchfield, and we concluded not to lay temptation in our neighbours way. So we postponed simultaneous publication on i Thursday. J. D. O. saw nothing but meal; :. but there might be a cat. He declined. The plot thickened. s. B. J. could see the cat distincly, and G. H. B. could see, two bushels of cut and not particle of me al whatever. Friday morning came, and no papers. There had been a bur0la. ry over night. The ENQUIRER Office had | been entered-no "forms," "proOf'' or "copy" to be found. This had bad look to the Democracy-not the burglary, but the office. If they want going to libel any body, what did they hide things for? looked as if they were guihy." R. Smith took us one side. Had better go to press at once. Papers mo..Ian't- make votes difference either way; but it was hurting Botsford." Every body likes our candidate for Sheriff, but R. Smith lores him. Think there were tears in his eyes, but not quite sure. By this time G. H. E. began to get nightly stirred up-felt the knife at his throat We tried to re-assure him, but found it hard work. Our nomi- nee, com ing into town just at this time, found the air full of libels. The Sentinet was to publish record of his conviction oE manslaughter, mayhem and horse stealing had two experienced libellers at work on him. E. tried to re.assure them, but it was no use. Then it was discovered that part | of the ENQUIRER edition had been sent off, Wltu luAu1Je LOIl anu l0uD1Lo JflDu- lation of spirit, the Sentinel went to press at two o'clock Saturday morning; and at II A. M., the Sentinel became wis ible about town. Luckily, there is noth- ing requiring reply, and we .tolIow our friend speedily.
 On Friday, youngster rushed into the office. "An it's the papers for South Chisnit Hill want 2
 "Ain t out. Who sent you?"
 "Sure, it's MT. Saymur he giv me a three cint, and, said he, you run right up and ask for the Enquirer for South Chestnut Hill;' an isn't that iist what I've did?"
 -"When in doubt," says Hoyle, "take the trick" Hence the Democracy talk of playing their "right bower," this (Satur- day) afternoon. Is the trick quite worth the trump
