1t seems that New England s de
mand for the passage Of the Civil
Rights bill and ,he single instance that
was advanced to prove its savored
very strong ly ofgetting ready a colum-
bad to kill a fly. The case that bent
the mighty energies Of Congress to
It's consideration and aroused the SYM
pathios of that emotional and easily
moved body; occurred at the Literary
Institution at Sutiied, Connecticut.
Seven white students had complained
to the steward that the presence Of two
coIorcd jAniIors A; his table, where the
students were allowed according to
custom TO select their own seats, was
not agreeable Race or caste was not
involved in this, and the steward deli
catply suggested to the janitors that
he would pay them their wages and
let them get board elsewhere, or he
would set them table by themselves
where they and all who wished to join
them could be served, or he would
admit them to the table with his own
family. These offers being refused, he
simply locked the door from his office
to the dining-room, and the offended
janitors have made Rome howl in con-
sequence. No question of equality
was involved in all this. Equal rights
and privileges were allowed to all of
whatever race or color, and the indig
nation which was re-echoed even in
Congress was caused by total miscon-
ception on the part Of these colored
young gentlemen of the meaning OF
rights. These students were at llber.
ty to make up their table company to
their liking, and they could have OBJ.
tjected to the presence of a white man
without having any comment excited
by it. An issue was there involved
that dozen civil rights bills could
not settle, because it was based on the
principle of social selection, which in
a civilized country will always be SUI
perior in its own. province to legisla
ton.

FIRE.-About seven o'clock We'd,
nesday morning Of last week, a fire
broke out in e. r.. Morgan's Saw
Mill, located on Locust Creek, about
mile and quarter east of Barnard
village. A fire was made in the stove
by Mr.. Morgan's hired man early in
the morning, when he went to break
fast, and shortly after, the main build
ing, q two story wooden structure,
was discovered to be in hames.-
It is thought the fire caught from a
defect in the stove-pipe or chimney
Although great effort was made to
save property, yet little was saved
The steam engine and building in
which it stood were save, it being
some distance from the main building.
The mill was run by water, and the
engine was used for light work.
Some 10000 #. of lumber owned by
Mr., Morgan about 200o belonging
to customers, was DESTROYED in the
buildings. This was one of the
best appointed saw-mills in the State,
contain as it did all the latest in
ventions, together with improvements
and additions by Mr.. Morgan. He
estimates his loss at $4,000 insur-
ed in the Windsor County Mutual
for 81, 800. This is q great loss to
our friend Morgan, and to Barnard
generally. Mr.. Morgan thanks his
townsmen who turned out so generally
and fought so vailiantly to save his
property. We learn that Mr.. Nor
gon will build up again.
Our Mill is in ashes, no welcoming sound

Several negroes broke into a
house in Lexington, Ky, last week,
and with drawn pistols demanded of
the landlady all the valuables in the
house. She was compelled to obey,
and after taking all she had the rob-
bers were invited to lunch. They ac-
cepted the polite invitation and the
lady went about preparing supper, and
seasoned it heavily with poison she
happened to have about the house.
The thieves ate heartily, and were
found dead on the premises the next
morning.

The social cauldron bubbles at
Taftsville, Our friend Darling cal.
led on us last evening. As Mark
Antony said of Brutus, in his speech
over the dead body Of Julius Cesar,
Darling is an honorable man." He
says he never was asked for the keys
by the friends of the deceased, which
is true. He was not engaged to dig
the grave, which is true. The friends
of the deceased did not question his
price which is true, because he was
not engaged by them to dig the
grave. "Homer is an honorable
man." But here comes the queer
part Of the story, the Trustees Of the
Cemetery say he was not elected Sex
ton at the annual meeting, and that
at previous meeting, for that pur
pose, a new Sexton was elected, anC
Homer refused to give up the keys
Darling is an honorable man." Now
q citizen lay dead awaiting burial
Darling is an honorable man," but
he refused to give up the keys. The
tool house was broken open by auth
GRITTY, the tools recovered, and the
grave was dug by the new Sexton
Now Darling-yes, Darling is al
honorable man" he takes those took
and locks them up in the tomb at thu
dead Of night, so that next morning
the bier was gone, and the tomb haC
to be broken open in order to secure
it, Oh Darling is an bonoratl
man" But it is said down there
however, but we know not by wha
authority, that Homer's shadow i
afraid of him even at midday. "Hc
mer Darling is an honorable man."
