Some are wicked enough to doubt the
sincerity of the democracy of Connect
cut in abandoning their old craft and the
dead past, and adopting the liberal MIS-
souri, platform, and even the New York
Herald is moved to say that the democ-
racy Of that State have labored over the
mountain and brought forth, not a mouse
but finely developed possum, and as
there is some, complaining among the
old faithful, the Hartford Courant thinks
they got more possum than they bar
gained for The Boston Post discusses
the case with care, avoiding the plat
form, and says the Connecticut democ-
racy have entered the campaign with
resolution" to which the Providence
Journal responds, eyes good many of
them, and as fatal as strychnine."

SMALL PoX. The Springfield Repub-
lican says; The small pox epidemic
which is prevailing in so many of our
cities gives more than usual significance
Just at present to the weekly mortuary
reports. At New York, where the dis
ease has prevailed for number OF weeks
it makes no great headwsy as yet, al
though the number of deaths, last week
-32-was an increase of six over any
previous week. At Philadelphia, where
very vrulent type of the disease ragged
with great fatality about New Years,
there was gradual and pretty regular
decrease during the month of January,
the number Of deaths having decreased
from 230 during the week ending Janua-
ny 8 to 1913 for that closing with Febru-
AIRY 3,although there has been anincrease
in the number OF fatal cases the last few
days, 1873 deaths having been reported
/ last week. The latest reports from Chi
cage were more favorable, aud the city
hopes to escape severe visitation of the
scourge. Memphis, however, is suffering
severely, 80 deaths from small pox hay-
ing occurred last week, and the reports
from that city, as well as from many
others, furnish fresh arguments to people
everywhere to be on their guard against
the approach of the disease.

War, in 1919, it has proved signal

ST. VALENTINES DAY.-Wednesday
of this week, the fourteenth day of Feb
ruary, is known 10 the calendar as St.
Valentines Day. Some people believe
st. Valentine a myth like Santa Claus.
But this is an error. St. Valentine had
history. although historical authorities
differ. According to some ecclesiastical
writers he was bishop, by Others pres.
byter, who was beheaded at Rome 10 the
reign of the Emperor Claudius, A. D.
270. Wheatleigh says that St. Valeu-
tine was man of most admirable parts
and so famous for his love and charity
that the custom Of choosing valeL tines
upon bis festival took its rise from thence.
Others derived the custom from birds,
supposed to select their mates on the 14th
of February others, again, from a prac,
tice prevalent in ancient Rome at the
festival of Luperealis, held during the
month of February, when, among othel
ceremonies, the names of young women
were placed in box, from which they
were taken by young men, according a,
chance directed. There are frequent ref
erences to St. Valentines day in Shak
speare. In this country the day is OBJ
served only by sending ornamental, il
Illustrative or co nie missives to friendi
and foes alike.

Fish Culture.

The annual meeting of the American
Fish Culturist Association was held at
Albany, New York, on "Wednesday OF
last week. This association was organic
ed one year ago by few persons at New
York, and during the year has increased
to over thirty members. Its object is
the promotion Of fish culture for food.

of Trout" and DIR. Edmonds one on
"The introduction of Salmon into Amor
lean rivers. Mr.. Seymour addressed
the convention on the Importance OF
making fish abundant and cheap as an
article of food FOR the poor. Mr.. b. F..
Bodies of Springfield, Mass, a breeder of
Salmon, also read paper on that sub
ject.
Many other papers we're read and the
two days were spent with much interest
and profit During the discussion Seth
Green was asked what would be the re-
suit if fishing in the Connecticut and
Hudson rivers was limited to four days
in the week for few years. He replied !:
1t would be great godsend to the
country; if could restrict fishing in
the Connecticut to four days in the week,
i'll few years one could cross the river
on the backs of shad at South Hadley
Falls"
The following officers were elected for
the year ensuing:
President-William Cleft.
Secretary-Livingstou Stone.
Treasurer. f. Bowles.

DEATH OF THE HERO OF GETTYSBURG.
old John Burns, the hero Of Gettys-
burg, died of pneumonia last week.
Some days previous he had an attack of
paralysis. He will be remembered as
the soldier of 1912, who, when the rebels
invaded Pennsylvania, took down his ri
he and Joined the Union Army, and like
the revolutionary soldiers, fought right
through that terrible battle con his own
hook" He thus became the hero Of
Gettysburg, of whom poets sang. A cor
respondent of the Tribune well says that
when the student of history shall read of
the campaign in Pennsylvania, and of
the price of glass of water exacted
from the Union soldiers by citizens of
that State, he will find the story of John
Burns an antidote to his indignation.

Grant has plenty OF troops to
contest elections in the Southern
States, but none to protect the citi-
zens of Texas along the Mexican
frontier. Exasperated beyond en-
durance, the Texans have taken the
matter in their own hands. The
Washington correspondent Of the
New York Evening Post says the
burning of the Mexican town OF
Resurrection, about forty miles
abo re Fort Duncan, on the 9th OF
September, was a retaliatory act OF
Texas, upon whom the Resurrection
villagers, headed by their Alcalde,
had made frequent raids. The at
tack vas made by sixteen Ameri-
cans, disguised as Indians. They
set fire to the Alcalde's house to
get him out Of it, and having forced
him out he killed one of the Texans
before being killed himself. After
killing two other Mexicans and
wounding a woman and child, the
Texans burned the town and crossed
the Rio Grande.
