"A Cruel Joke 1.

In an article replete with personal abuse of the most outrageous kind, the Sentine saw fit to characterize our nomination of s young lawyer just commencing practice ir this place. for Judge Of Probate, as "A Cruel Joke" The attack was soEbrutal and so uncalled for as to excite heindig. nation of men of all classes. It also pro. voked the friends of Mr. Morrill, into mak- ing a special effort. Split tickets were printed, enough of which, through Demo cratic means, got into the ballot box at Warren to defeat MT. Woodruff!
 The prevailing Democratic conundrum propounded of late is. How many cruel jokes of this description are the Demo cratic party prepared to stand ?"

Victory 1

In the closest contest of years and unde, every Encouragement and disadvantage we =hasecarxied the State. Kellogg, Strong and Starkweather are reelected to Congress. We gain two Senators and have the House sure. All this is done under the discour. agsment of complete defeat in New Hampshire. and in the face of much dissat- isfactien regarding the San Domingo quar- rel Nobody will now set down Connecti- out as sure Democratic in 1872, and in fact nobody doubts that if Presidential cleo ton were to occur to-morrow, we should carry the State by handsome inejoeity. Our figures elect English by 16 majority, but the vote is so close that nothing but the official vote will decide, and it is very probable that scattering votes will throw the election into the Legislature. At any rate sEngiish's majority of near thousand, last year, is wiped out.
 In this county the Republicans have done nobly. With all Barnum's money against them there are no substantial Democratic e gains on the State ticket and New Milford. Washington, Litchfeld, Cole. brook, Cornwall, Watertown and several other towns show handsome gains The Sixteenth Senatorial District shows an in. creased majority. On representatives we have been particularly fortunate. All Re. publican towns send straight Republican delegations. while New Milford, Washing. ton and Cornwall divide their represents lives with the democracy against msjorities on the State ticket. For 0e first time in ssssral gears majority of as Representatives. from lsis County are Repu5ican. . On the whole, Mondays was very suc- cessful as we'll as very plucky days work for the Republican party. The Democracy will hardly claim in future that we are demofalized, disorganized, beaten-in -ad- vance crowd of stragglers.

 We notice that whenever the Sentinel has thrown it's weight on anything, this season, that thing has been irretrieyably smashed.

A Lady writes:-"B Before having tried sPratt's Astral Oil, I was preiudiced against it. But was finally induced by neighbor to buy some. That was six months ago; since then I have been burning it constant t. ly. Two nights ago, one of my little girls while playing. upset the lamp, scattering the oil over her and her sister. but no harm resulted, the oil neither taking fire nor ex. ploding. am satisfied that the oil is per- fectly safe."
 The above is but one of many similar testimonials. Don't endanger your lives by burning kerosene. but buy Pratt's As. tral Oil. By using this, danger is guarded against.

A. 0. Tracy; the Democrats, D. B; Randall. On election day nearly forty Republicans bolted their candidate and voted for Ran dall, securing his election, while about as many Democrats bolted Randall and voted for Tracy.

As lady from that place remarked to some one who was enquiring about political prospects in Morris, ''The Democrats are working day and night to defeat their candidate for ,ethe Legislature, and the Republicans are just as busy beating their nomiueet''
