 -Mr. Timothy Hulbert. one of our
 most highly esteemed citizens. who has
 been in poor health for about Q year, com
 mitted suicide. last Saturday, by cutting l his throat with a razor. He has been par
 tially insane for long time, as the result
 of his i'll health, and very much depressed 1 in spirits. The act was committed up
 stairs in his barn, where, about 2 o'clock,
 he was discovered by his wife still alive. Physicians were summoned who did what l they could for him. It was all of no 1 avail, and he died about 6 o'clock Sunday l morning. Mir. Hubert has been engaged | in the manufacture of iron here for num-
 Der of years. from which business he, ae- cumulated quite 2 property. He was an
 honest man. Several years ago he failed
 in business, compromising with his cred- l itors for fifty cents on the dollar. After
 wards, on being successful in business, he looked up all his creditors. or those who
 were 90 before settlement, .and paid the other fifty per cent with the interest on the same in full. In one case, where one of his former creditors had died, he look ed up all the heirs at q good deal of trouble and paid them. He set an example of honesty not often followed in these days of money getting. His honest face will ! be missed in this community. zos .aa.s sz

Ny Kingdom for a Horse.


 All persons who aspire to beauty or per- sonal appearance should not neglect that natural accessory, the hair. By many it has been neglected until the hair has be- come thin, gray, or entirely fallen of. Messrs- Hall & Co.,, Nashua, N. H., have produced an effectual remedy, called Si- cilian Hair Remover, which cures all dis eases of the scalp. This wonderful prepa- ration acts upon the glands, which sup port and nourish the hair, restores gray hair to it's original color, makes the scalp white and clean, removes and and pre- vents the formation of dandruff and all cutaneous .eruptions; and, by its tonic and nutritive properties, restores the scalp to healthy state, and creates new growth. As dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving the hair that briliancy so much admired by all.-Boston ComnaerciaL B.

The New Milford Journal justly com mends Steep Rock at Washington as one of the most beautiful places in the. State. It seems to be confusing place to be- holders, however, for the Journal sees therefrom the Shepaug river running in c circle" and the Shepaug railroad among other important points !" A river thatran
 
 in circle would puzzle gravitation some; but would not be quite 50 curious as a 'point" B miles long and four feet ten inches broad. If it had been the railroad instead of the river that ran in q ''circle'' we shouldn't have said word. H 1Hq

had been granted, how would 'scompeti- tion" have benefited the public? At first, undoubtedly, fares and heights would have gone down below actual cost. The old company would have used it's accu- mulated capital to crush the new one. <. If it succeeded the public would have in the end to pay the cost of the struggle, and for the maintenance of both roads where one could easily do the business. If it failed, competition would give place to combination, and both corporations would levy on the public to meet the costs of their previous warfare, and to provide for dividends that would gorge two sets of stockholders instead of one.
 ttGompetition. it is now universally conceded, offers no protection to: the public against the extortions of railroad companies. But, say the advocates of the present system, you can trust the companies themselve to lower their fares and freights whenever they ought to do so. Unfortunately the character of the business monopoly is too well establish ed to give any just ground for such 2 hope. With occasional wise exceptions, such bodies have always proved too gree dy of present gain to risk any temporary reduction of profits with view to fu- ture increase of business. It is outside pressure only that will reduce railroad charges. The remonstrances of Massa- chusetts railroad commissioners. and the fear of ''hostile Legislation" have occa
 stoned a considerable reduction in that state. The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad company was induc- ed by fear of legislative interference in this State to make a general reduction, last year, and, by hostile bill in the New York legislature to lower rates on their New York section, few months since. Our present legislature, which does noth- ing, will get nothing. Messrs. Bishop, Barnum, Wheeler & Co.,, have no fear of Connecticut Democracy. ...,..., .-,a In the meantime the West is taking the lead in regard to this most important question. If their movement is success full it will result in the establishment of the relations of the public and railroad companies on better basis than has yet been arranged. If it goes headlong into extremes, it may produce great political changes, but it will certainly fail to effect

Mir. T. l.. Scott writes to the American favoring the proposed union of churches in Bethlehem. The practical difficulty would probably be that the Union church would be cut off from fellowship with any existing denomination. It would form no part of the Congregational Consocia- tion, because it would not be a Congrega- tional church. It could not belong to the Methodist Conference, because it would not be Methodist church. It would not belong to the Episcopal Diocese, because it would not be parish in union with that Diocese. Peshaps by keeping up their several society organizations, how ever, this difficulty might be obviated, and each portion of the Union congrega- tion keep up relations with it's own de- nomjnation. .. rH
