THE WOES OF A DANBURY LOVER

THE WOES OF A DANBURY LOVER.
Since Mr.. O'Clarence's Fourth of
July celebration, North street has been
comparatively quiet. But last night it
was again aroused. 1t appears that one
of our Main street clerks is keeping
company with young lady living on
North street. And her father is OPP
posed to his society or at least that has
been the impression since a fortnight
ago, when he poured II tea-kettle of hot
water on him. But, having healed the
burns, the young man determined to
capture the girl in spite of the parent,
and laid plans for an elopement, which
was to have come off last night. The
stern parent received intelligence of the
plan through the pertidy of the servant,
who had been taken into the confidence
of the young people, and he concealed
himself in the shade of a lilac bush,
Just under the window of the depraved
daughter. At twelve o'clock the young
man approached the spot, standing SO
close to our friend in the lilac bush that
he could almost touch him, and could
quite smell the sweet oil. A moment
latera head appeared at the window, Il
brief whispered conversation followed
and comforting bundle of things were
dropped down, and the head retired
The young man, whose skin was off in
places, and who was undoubtedly think
ing of angels chasing pond-lilies across
rain-bows, held his hands up to catch
the bundle, when he became suddenly
aware that he was gripped by the legs,
and in the next instant he was hurled
through the air, and went nose first into
an onion bed. When he got on his feet
he did not pause to look up the cause of
the trouble, but threw himself over the
first fence, and struck for home, con
tent to wait until the paper came out,
for the particulars. The first intima-
ton of the modification of the pro-
gramme was the appearance of her
father at her door, who politely extend

THE NEW ILLINOIS RAILROAD
FREIEIT TARIFFS

There is almost universal dissatisfac-
ton with the new freight tariffs ON the
Illinois railroads, made up to conform
to the new railroad law. Instead of
proving a remedy for the great evil I'M
der which the people have so long
groaned, the law has in effect magnifed
it, and there is a loud cry for its repeal.
The railroad corporations, out of pure
cussed revenge, have taken advantage
of the loose provisions of the law to adj
vance their rates in every instance where
it could be done, thus discriminating
unjustly and oppressively against GER
tain localities. A correspondent of the
Chicago journal, writing from LaSallc,
gives the following comparison of the
old with the new tariff between that
point and Chicago. This is only one
instance out of many. Here are the
figures:

RATES BErwEES LA SALE AND CHICAGO.

Whatever may be said in justification
of so great an advance of rates between
Chicago and LaSalle, these figures af-
ford incontestible proof of its existence,
and no man of common sense can fail to
understand that it must necessarily
prove disastrous to the trade and gcner-
al business of all localities against which
such tariff discriminatcs. But the in
creased cost of few prominent items of
freight will give Il still clearer idea of
the general oppressiveness of the law
For instance, under the old tariff the
charges on twenty barrels of whisky
from New York were $31 to $40; now
they are increased to 500. so. Under
the old schedule, three barrels of coal
oil, weighing ESQ pounds, were carried
from Chicago to LaSalle for So. So now
the charges on one barrel of 800 pounds
are $3.50. These items, the correspond
ent states, are average samples taken at
random from receipted freight bills.

DANBURr FISHERMANS LUCK.


A man named Gilsey, who, by strict
economy and severe industry, has sue

place, free of incumbrance, was fishing
in Still river, near the Beaver Brook
mills, on Sunday afternoon. After
sitting on the bank for couple of
hours, without catching anything, he
was gratitied to see, on flat stone in
the water, snapping-turtle summing
toward him, and he thought he would
capture it; but while he was looking
for place to step, the turtle gravely
turned around without his knowledge.
and when he got in reaching distance,
and bent down to take hold of what
nature designed should be taken hold
of while handling snapping-turtle,
that sociable animal just reached out
and took hold of Mr.. Gilsey's hand

nate man aroused some of the neigh

late to be of any benefit to him, or even
to themselves, for they just caught a
glimpse of bareheaded man tearing
over the hill, swinging a small carpet

ACCORDING to an italian journal, the
Pope's private fortune appears to be
little larger than the temporal dominion
that remains to him. His pontifcatc
seems not to have added anything to
his worldly wealth. All that he owns
is his patrimony and the furniture of
his private apartments in the Vatican
This furniture includes a large and very
valuable collection of works of art He
has bequeathed nearly everything to the
