J Peterson, 3O6 Chestnut Street l Phila, a3j s5f ,aaaf8 j A5 E 3a4a E4 The Wmsted Herald speaks out sensibly against the proposed Temperance party ] s'As Temperance Journal, whose editor IS Temperance man, and Good Tem. plar in good standing, and who hopes to see our state Government permanently in the hands of temperance men, we take oc- casion to say that this "third party. has our best wishes. for its failure. We do not doubt the purity and praiseworthiness of the motives of most of those who are engaged in the movement; we do not SUD- pose lthatsany considerable portion of them desire to exah the rum power-to give it aid and comfort and make it impregnable but we do know that if that were their very aim. they could not devise a more effective way of ccomplishing that result than than Py ey,t this . third plan : = sssss .d Theieditor of the Bristol Press has any thing but quiet life. His editorial space is ism mostly devoted to the demolition of Moses Hull, Spiritualist, who attacks the original Moses, and the rest of the Old Testament writers, with astonishing reck- lllessness. Then there is a. minor row be- tween the Methodist minister and the lec- tnre committee, of that very embittered nature which results in card, signed by the entire committee, explaining that the clerical party is not Christian. Last week, also, another fracas started with another card, to which six names are at- tached, referring kindly, briefly but firm 'ly, to 't'the un-called-for, malicious, and vile untruth in your last weeks issue"
 With a patent outside and three such fights monopolizing most of the ''inside" of his six column journal, MT. Riggs is a .plucky editor if he does not resign and look upa quieter lot of parishioners.
 ] The Hartford Police department has settled its difficulties by demanding the risignation of Chamberlain, the captain who was tried and found guilty, and also of Mott, who was tried and found conclu- sively 'ot guilty, and appointing third person to take charge of the police force. This decision shows how much judicial wisdom has increased within the past 5000 years. Solomon undoubtedly showed much shrewdness in detecting the true mother in his celebrated woman and child case, but he should have quieted matters by giving the infant to some third person. At least such would have been the decis- ion of the Mayor and Common Council of Hartford. zaa gz83tf
 The following has been communicated to the Danbury News: .
 NEW MrLFoBD.-The friends of Wm A. Judd formerly Cashier of the First National Bank Bethel, and John J. Conklin, formerly Cashier of the First National Bank of New Milford will re- ioice to know that the District Attorney of Con- necticut, by advice of the Comptroller of the Cur rency and the District Attorney at Washington, against them We hope to see our old friend Conklin here again at New Milford. a We should be glad to know why the prosecution against Mr. Conklin was nOlted 1? If he is innocent of the crime charged, we should be rejoiced to publish the proof of his innocence, for such is not the general impression. But fine is guilty, and his personal friends imagine the matter is "blown over," we would beg leave to diff fer with them, and to suggest that this is a very unhealthy season for patients afflict- ed with his moral disease.
