 usual daily supply was about #, 900 cans,
 diluted by middle-men to about 16,O0O cans, ,and much condensed milk was used on
 account of the adulterations practiced.
 The amount of sour milk where it was
 carefully prepared was always small.
 Most of the complaints of this kind arise
 from swindling contractors. r
 MT. Enos Pratt seemed to think that there was danger of collusion between rail road officials and the middle-men to drive of all opposition and that the milk '.ring"
 had practical control of the New York & New Haven railroad. He said that the business on the Naugatuek had tlwindIed from this cause from 200 cans to 60, and that in spite of remonstrance the New York & New Haven railroad keep in their employ men who are themselves milk deal CTS, who play into the hands of other
 niddle-lnen, and who declare that they can keep control of the business, in spite of the producers. MT. Pratt afterwards explained to us more in detail, his oBiec- lions to the milk management of the New York < New Haven road. When the milk business commenced on the Nauga- tuck railroad, the New York distribution of it was given to a single agency. Some of the Goshen producers became. disaatis- fled with this agent. and Mr. Pratt, rep resenting the disaatisded parties. went down oeffect q change He went first to the general freight agent Of the New York X New Haven Railroad Company who ad- yised him against a change, and referred him to the milk agent Of the company at l the depot.

The Democratic and Liberal Conven-

At Library Hall, In Newark on Saturday after

man, and B. j. Ford and Colonel Price, Secretaries,
Democratic Convention; 1. II. Geddy, Chairman,
John Schnellbacher, Secretary, Liberal Convention.
There was good deal OF discord and wrangling in
the democratic gathering. Committees were ap-
pointed by each convention to confer on nomina-
tons. II was agreed that the liberals should ask
only one Coroner, and concede the others and the
Sheriff and County Clerk to the democrats. The
only name mentioned for State Senator was that
Of Mr.. David Anderson, and him the liberals would
not agree to touch under any circumstances.
Being unable to agree Cd this point the COM
mittee resolved to lay the nomination over
for q future day. The following nominations
were ratified by both conventions flames Peckwell,
democrat, Sheriff; Albert G. Westervelt, democrat,
County Clerk; John 8. Ball, democrat, Coroner;
DR.. David s. Smith, democrat, Coroner; Martin
Beir, LIBERAL Coroner. The vote for Clerk stood In
the Democratic Convention-westervelt, SO; Fitz-

Westervelt has for seven years been an Alderman.
He was for short time President OF the Common
Council. Colonel Peckwell is the present Sheriff.

was no money in either of the pocket

mediately started after the man. and

Hollands New Serial Novel, ARTHUR
BoNNICASTLE. "We have not in long
time seen any story that opened so pro-
pitiously. 1t cannot but be, with DR..
Hollands thoughtful view of life, that
we shall have developed in the course
of the story some of the perplexing
problems oflife. But in the introduc-
tory chapter these are scarcely hinted
at. The story is autobiographical. The
hero is a NewHampshire boy, whose
early years are passed in the isolation
of back country farm neighborhood.
In going back to this period the writer
falls into charming strain of remiiIis-
cence, and arranges his canvass and
brings forward his characters with the
calm ness of a literary artist. Theistyle
is delightful, easy, polished and glow
ing with sufficient imaginative color
and with quiet humor. Underneath
the repose of manner, there is, howev-
.er, no lack of vigor, and the story has
promise in it ofquiet power and breadth
of treatment. The boy-hero at once
wins the regard of the readers; his
father is q character very delicately
a quaint and promising figure
lis that of Ruth Sanderson; and the
author shows that he is a careful stu
dent of life by his way-side sketch Of
the teamster. If the story goes on as it
begins it assures the fortune of iScri6neg's
for this year. We ought not to forget
the illustrations by Miss Halleck, the
first of which heads the chapter. She
shows not only art but tile discernment
and feeling ofgenius."

ED. CHRoNICLE-DearS Sir: As a ma
jority OF your readers are engaged in
fruit raising to a greater or less extent,
they will no doubt be interested in a
short account of the Horticultural Con-
vention held at BarnesvilIe, Oct. a.
The above named organisation has tesn
holding sessions monthly for about two
years. But their last meeting was OF
more than ordinary interest in conse-
quence of its being the occasion for a
display of fruits which are designed foI
exhibition at the State horticultural Al
Convention, shortly to be held at Zanes-
vile, and at which Belmont County
may justly expect to carry off the
laurels. a
Members of the Society began to ar.
rive at Temperance Hall in the early
part of the day, with baskets filled with
their fairest. samples of apples, pears
DC. And ere noon the numerous tables
We're densely crowded with fruit-prin.
cipaly apples-whieh none. hesitated
in declaring to be by far the most mag.
niiicent display ever made in Belmeat
County. The number of varieties o.
apples were not accurately ascertained
but those having most experience in
such matters, decided that there were
at least one hundred and fifty. Aud il
must be remembered that aigreat ma
jOrity of the varieties were duplicated
many times by different persons. -
1t would seem that each lot exhibited
would be entitled to special mention
SO large, high colored and perfect were
they-but in view of the magnitude O
the task, one or two such reference,
will have to suffice.
The greatest variety shown by on,
person was thirty-exhibited by Mr.
Newell Cowden of Quaker City, hi
Northern Spies, Kings, Fallow an(
PenOcks were enormous, some OF tn,
first two mentioned weighing fifteer
and half ounces, and of the latter tWt
more than seventeen ounces each.
1 Mrs. Wilson of Barnesyille, ais,
favored us with fine assortment, TO
which she deserves much credit, especi
| ally for her pears-Vicar of Wakefield
i A committee of five, consisting O
VIM, Upton, Newell Cowden, Jane
EdgertOn, Isaac G. Hall and .Samue
Price, were appointed to take charge O
! the fruit and to exhibit it at GAINESVILLE
i The question-When shall we plan
i fruit trees? was discussed for a shor
time in lively manner, and strange q
i it may appear, al who owned nursefie
recommended fall planting, andyial
who had had experience IN. pladltin,

estly in favoro OF spring planting for al
ltreesin general and peach trees inpal
ticular. One gentleman, who islsald I
be authority on the subject, deolare
that If he We're going to plant an 20,
lehard of five thousand peach trees, an

fall he would wait till spring and pa
