 FGeed Up.-Since Landlord Riker of Canaan has rearranged and refitted some of the rooms in his hotel he thinks, and justly too, that for first class hotel ap- pointments he is not great way behind any in Western Litchfield County, and if there are others who think he is not at aN behind, they probably have 8 very good right to their opinion. Mir. Riker is born landlord, and always pleases his numerous customers.

It has been a speciality with us to encourage correspondence from the villages in our territory, and we are gratified to lind from our large and increas- ing list of subscribers, such satisfactory evidence of the wisdom of this course.

 Question cf Age.-Friend Pease: Didn't you ever think how unfortunate It is that your paper is NEWS ?-same name as that funnygraph Danbury paper. Don't it make you sweat and shed tears when your nice things are copied and simply credited to the "News," to have all the world think | the name means Danhury? But that ir- reverent joker will punish himself some of these days. Hear him: he says "the people of this State are bound to go to Old | Haven rather than New Haven for a gov erner" Now when his prophecy shall have proved true and the Hon. Henry P. | shall be getting ready for his election ride | in the gubernatorial carriage, and Danbury | shall be begging for the honor of seat in | one of the rear hacks, don't you fancy that | question of age may come up somewhat to his chagrin?
