CLARENDoN.-By some almost unac
countable reason, our item upon tn,
death, in this town, of Hiram Stewar
Smith has not appeared. The subject O
this sketch, was young man of good
character, and of exemplary department.
and by his genial disposition, his earnest
ness, his attachment to his friends, had
formed large acquaintance. and had
taken strong hold upon their affections
His last sickness was short (about nine
days. but very severe; his disease taking a
typhoid form, but afterward assuming an
appearance which baffied completely the
best medical skill which could be had.
Mr.. Smith was a member of Mill River
Lodge, No. 1873 I. o. of G.. T., and as such
was highly respected, and his death
deeply lamented. On the day of the
funeral, which was attended by Rev. A.
Walker, D. D., of Wallingford, process
sion numbering more than fifty carriages
followed his remains to the grave His
casket, most beautiful-piece of work
manship, richly ornamented was surmoun-
ted with cross and wreath of flowers and
evergreen wrought by the hand Of affec-
ton, and testifying to the deep regard
in which his memory will be held by
those who had gathered to pay their last
tribute of respect to one they loved. The
bereaved family have the sympathy of a
large circle of acquaintance, who with
them mourn his early departure.

ing forth at the same time, If not from the

is one thing on which all the Parisians
harmonic: it is in their love of liberty.
They may greatly differ as to the best
means OF securing it, but they perfectly
agree that it is their rightfuI portion.
their inalienable inheritance. The Paris
ians always smarted under the tyrannicai
rule of Napoleon, and whenever they had
chance they signifed it to the country
and to the world. 1t is noteworthy fact
that at the election of last year all the
members of the Corps Legislatif for Paris
belonged to the opposition.
Liberty, when they have enjoyed it.
they have proclaimed in such loud tones
| that it has been heard all over the CONT.
nent, and kings have trembled on their
thrones. William, the self-appointed and
irresponsible President of the German
Confederation, remembers 1S4S, and his
fear and trembling at that time impel him
now TO do all in his power TO crush the
young Republic. He knows that a Re-
public in France is beacon of light and
liberty for all Europe, and consequently
he is intent on sitting the child in the
cradle. If he succeed. it will be a dark
day for liberty, which must necessarily
be retarded, we say retarded, and not de-
stroyed, for we believe in the future tri-
unphs of justice and right. which for us
are others terms for liberty. The time
must come when the nations will shout -
Liberty, this is thy day; this world Is
thine empirep
Then, where should the sympsthies of
Americans be2 with Prussia-and its
divine rights of kings. or with Republican
France9 with selfish, self-agrandiziag
power, or a generous nation that in tbs
darkest days of revolutionary America

For whose success shall we pray For
the ruthless invader carrying desolstion

Every step taken by the King of Prus-
STA since the surrender of Sedan is wrong

ceiving quite as much damage as she in

bloodshed and misery caused since that
time sooner or later she will atone for
these crimes. Would to God that his
eyes were opened and that he would offer
reasonable terms of peace TO France. He
might yet save himself from the execrsti-
ons of mankind and the just punishment
of God.

The Cause of Liberty i'm Europe.
BY REV. n. CYR.

Every American is interested in The
cause of liberty, civil, political and re
ligious liberty at home and abroad. Or
this continent this precious boon is en-
joyed TO greater extent than anywhere
else, and what is good in the United
States must be good in other countries
Unfortunately the nations of Europe are
troubled with difficulties entirely IN.
known here, and to establish liberty in
these old countries, it will require en-
ergetic efforts, and indomitable perfeyer.
ance. But great is liberty, and il will
prevail. 1t may for time look dark, but
after reverses, yea a seeming death, liber-
ty will rise as from the tomb, and finally
assert its sway.
What nation can do most for liberty in
Europe ? 1 answer France. The country
of Jeanne D'Arc and of Lafayette have
always loved liberty, has loudly pro-
claimed it in 1889. in 1880, in 1848. and il
ready to proclaim it again if she can only
repulse her present foe, and have time to
rear her infant Republic.
France occupies a peculiar position in
Europe. Geographically her capital is in
the center, if we leave out Russia, which
belongs really to another civilization.
Take Paris as the center of circle touch
ing Vienna, and you viii be surprised to
find that on that circle or near it are The
following capitals Madrid, Rome, Wen
ma, Berlin, Copenhagen, Edinburgh and
Dublin, with such cities inside of the cir
conference as London, The Hague, Brus-
sells and Berne. This fact the writer
claims to have discovered. and it hes sur-
prised many who, although they bad
travelled in Europe, had never thought
that Paris occupied such a central posi-
ton.
But Paris, which in one sense is France,
as it is the heart and head Of this great
nation, is moreover great intellectual
center. From it go forth influences for
good or for evil all through Europe, not
to say through the whele world. Those
have felt it who have enjoyed its
grand privileges or felt its intoxi-
eating charms. They have felt it
as they have listened to some of it,
learned professors or brilliant orators,
perused some of her magnificent literary
productions, visited its numerous and
rich treasures of arts. They also have

at about 7.30 o'clock, fire was discovered
in room under the grist mill, occupied
by the Union Slate Company The cry Of
fire was raised and large number of our
citizens were speedily on the spot, but the
fire was extinguished before any damage
was done. This was evidently the work
of an incendiary. Some old clothes which
were hanging in the mill had been carried
into this back room, and the whole being
saturated with kerosene was then set on
fire. The guilty parties are suspected

Railroad wood shed which was burned a
few months since, has been again replaced
with most substantial one, which is now
filled with good wood, all of which is in
keeping with the management of the
officers of this great thoroughfare.
AN act was passed by the Legislature
in 1868 incorporating the East Walling-
ford Aqueduct Company, but no very &C.

this village to avail themselves of the

meeting was called and the following
named gentlemen were elected Directors :
Abel Ray, E. S. Chilson, J. r. Priest, H.
L. Warner and J. G. Starkey. The work,
being entrusted to the hands of such men,
did not long lie idle, for they have now
nearly the entire length of trench dug,

stock is divided into shares of $50 each,
and $500 of said stock has been already

trifing cost supply themselves with

no doubt, will be appreciated-especially
after such a severe drought as all have ex-
perienced the past season.
