New PreStOms


 Base ball seems to be the only excitement which this village can boast of at present. There has been three clubs organized, viz: The Modocs, Upson's Seminary, and the Cheeres. Until Saturday next it will be hard to predict which is the leading nine, but of one thing we are positive, and that is, that the Cheeses bring up in the rear. On Saturday the Modocs and Upson's Sem- mary hines play match game on the bill. There is one club of which no mention has been made, the Captain, Hiram Beardsley, having kept the matter so secret that the citizens of New Preston were not generally aware that they were to be blessed with a fourth nine. They are known as the Rag Tag B. B. c. it has been impossible for them to play as yet, as they have not re- ceived the balls that they are having made for them, which are made of Italian mar ble, covered with copper. They cannot be persuaded to play with a regulation ball, as According to the captains reporD they want ball that will tell when it hits. We | wish them success. The weather looks very unfavorabie for the tobacco growers in this vicinity, and unless we get rain before long, we predict short crop of the "vile weed" GRlFs.

 After an absence of several weeks we again return to Cornwall to find it the same old place as when we left, no alteration, save the trees and fields have put on their summer dress of green, and az far as na- ture is concerned, there is no pleasanter place in the state than Cornwall, but the beauties of nature without the assistance of art, soon becomes an old story to those living in the country......Our conference room, which promised so we'll year ago, still remains hole in the ground, to the great disgust of the stockholders.

which, in our opinion, it would have been
better to have avoided, and some sugges-

in it. Yet ii is comparatively frcer from
objections than most papers Of this kind
usually are.
There is one subject, however, that we
regret the Governor did not touch upon

interesting one of " Increased Representa-

a Bankrupt World

Some English statistician has been
computing the public debts Of the nations
of the world. He puts France at the head
of the list with burden of S5, 900, 900,
600. the sad legacy of the German con-
11ict. Great Britain follows with So, $50,
900. 600 and the United States then comes
third with debt of over $4,000, 1000, 900.
The aggregate public debts of all the
nations in the world amount to the
enormous sum of $40, 100000, 600, q
figure So vast as to be almost incom-
prehensible. Ii a man went to count it
as rapidly as he could, dollar for dollar
he would not finish the task in fifteen
centuries. When we come to add to this
the debts of states, provinces. mini
cipalities, village corporations and in
dividuals, we have mountain OF
Indebtedness that is perfectly appalling.
And the worst of it is that, though
nations and individuals are bankrupt, they
are going on piling up more and more
liabilities every year. Wealth, which is
the produce of labor, is completely out
stripped in the race Some day .his
enormous bubble must burst Then
comes the deluce.

OUR ELECTION.

Treason and Corruption, Indifference
and Neglect have accomplished an un
precedented victory oftheDemocracy and
its satellistes iu this city, throughout the
county and in our entire State
Our city and town gives to our opno
nents majority averaging about 22C
on the State ticket only; Mr. Baker losing
less Dy the efforts of personal friends.
For county officers the Republican party
had virtually no candidates in the field,
having endorsed the Democratic nomina-
tion of Mr.. Kirwan. for School Superin-
tendent, and Mr.. Waldo having declined
to run for the Office of Clerk of the Cir
cult Court. OF the threeAssemblymen of
onr county the re election of the Demo-
cratic nominee Jos. Rankin for the Sd
District was foregone conclusion, Mr..
Klingholz his opponent, taking no in
terest in the contest for Assembly, being
himself member of the Reform party
and in favor of the reelection of Hon
JOS. Rankin. Mr. Raukin's majorities
however we're astonishing even to him
self.
The defeat of Hon. o. S. Davis for the
I'd District, was equally unexpected. as
We supposed that he had given full salts
faction to his constituents during the last
session there is some consolation how
ever in the returns showing a much
larger Republican vote for him IN the I'd
District than was given to the general
ticket. The same can be said of Mr.
Phillips of the lst District who ran well,
but was mainly defeated by the money
scattered broadcast by the emissaries of
German Reformers of the Liquor and
Sunday laws. The majority against US
in this county is about l 800
Our State is in an equally disastrous
condition our noble Governor and the
entire Republican State T,ket are de-
feased by about 1000 majoritr.

ton will be published in full in our next
