nave been accomplished had he not invested an amount unprecedented for 5a private subscription in the securi- ! ties of the road. Since it's completion he has largely increased his interest by further purchases of bonds and stock, so sthat he is believed to have owned at the time of his death nearly half the capital sinvested in the enterprise. He was also a livery large owner of real estatsl in this. vi- gcinity, and has been interested in various slocal enterprises with view to the devel- sopement of the place. 'tt | MT. McNeill was Napoleonic sort of imam, of keen sagacity, indomitable will, 3untiring energy, and fearless enterprise, sa real marvel of executive ability. His
 convictions were so positive as to often
 ..give offence, and with the virtues, he unit
 led many of the faults and weaknesses of sthe self-made American. In the few
 years of his residence among us he ac-
 scomplished more for the material devel- lopement of Litchfeld, often against the .bitterest opposition, than all the genera ;tions of able iurists for which the place has been renowned, and, whatever may be the future of our great local enterprise, he sproved his sincerity if not his sound judgment. by the lavish investment of his individual means.
 While resident here Mir. McNeill has always been an invalid, and during the past few years pulmonary complaint de- |veloped itself from which he sought relief |by winter residence in Q southern climate. He leaves widow, four sons. and two daughters. His eldest son is in West Point. the remainder are young children. The funeral will be attended from the Congregational church. at p. m.. of this \ Wednesday, afternoon.

If the Irish in America increase no fas. ter than the Irish in Ireland there will be little cause to be apprehensive of their taking New England from the New Eng. landers. The last census of that country shows a decline from a population of S. 17S.OO0 people in 1S4l to5 .412, SIT in 1871. The great famine that occurred soon after the first mentioned date was followed by great emigration by which the condition of those who remained behind was almost as much improved as that of those who went away. That the Irish at home should seem less prolific race than the Irish here is easily explained.by the fact that emmigration takes of mainly young and| healthy adults. the most prolific part of al population.

 The New Milford Ray has broken oui in a new place about the jail business.
 There is ''ring" on Litchfield Hill who want to trade some ''unreclaimed swamp lands" for the present jail building, '.in order to put into the coffers of this class of land speculators the hard earnings oi the taxpayersl' ;,
 That remark about the "hard earnines' of the taxpayer is . very true if not . very novel remark. We paid tax ourselves hot long since. But the ''ring" business we take to be sort of clerical joke. Il the estimable New York lady who owns sthe ''unreclaimed swamp" lands talked of for jail site. and the gentlemen who are Ito present the county with that or some other suitable site constitute ga ring of land speculators, " it is c ring that the tax payer has little reason to fear. We hope 'the New Milford political ring about which We see so much in the Ray was equally harmless.

Last Saturday the Farmers Base Ball JClub of Lanesville and 6 Gaylordsville sClub played game resulting in twenty. three innings for the former and twenty. ssx innings for the latter.-M M. Ray. 3 Yes but which beat? In order to de. itermine this question, it is customary ID base ball reports to give the number oi runs made by the respective clubs. Fur, athermore, base-ballists who have never lseen such an experiment tried would be Sglad to know how many runs those per 3sistent Gaylordsvillians made in the three Innings after the other side had played out. l It is usual, also, to give the name of the umpire. In this case we venture the guess that it was James Aldis, of Wolcot. vile There is no other man in this vicin- sity competent to conduct those last in snings properly.
 Our friend of the Ray evidently knows
 vastly more about jails than he does about
 baseball.

The census of the population of the vii; Ilage of New Milford is completed and the
 lreturns are published in the Ray. The whole number of families is 265 married people, 4S3; single adults, 400; total pop iulation 1912. Of the single adults, 237 are women; 163 men. Thenumber of un. married women is thereupon almost ex. exactly equal to that of the married. We judge that the proportion of unmarried to married in Litchfeld is still greater. and these two villages are fair samples of our| New England country towns where there| |are no manufactories. Yet women arel taught to look to matrimony as their pc Icullar sphere of usefulness; and their| habits. education and preiudices in veryl many instances unfit them for any other. Some live with relatives. earning their| board; some work very hard in unconge- |nial occupations for half the pay of men| doing like work; few have sufficient means of support without labor. Is not |any movement that can offer an indepen-I dent. congenid and remunerative occupa- |tion to the unmarried half of our womenI

WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875

TIME APPROACH OF THE pREs1-
i dental election gives unusual i'm
portance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully, and
fearfully.
The Weekly Sun has now attained a
circulation Of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and its quality is
we'll known to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up
to the old standard, but to improve and
add to it's variety and power.
The Weekly Sun will continue to be
thorough newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found 10 it, conden
sed when unimportant, at full length
when of moment, and always, we trust
treated in a clear, interested and in
structive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in the
world. It will be full of entertaining
and appropriate reading of every sort,
but will reprint nothing to offending
the most scrnpulous and delicate taste.
1t will always contain the most inter-
csting stories and romances Of the day,
carefully selected and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a
prominent feature in the Weekly Sun:
and its articles will always be found
fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number Of men Independent in
politics is increasing, and the Weekly
Sun is their paper especially. 1t be-
longs to no party, and obeys no dicta-
ton, contending for principle, and for
the election of the best mon. 1t expo
ses the corruption that disgraces the
country and threatens the overthrow
of republican institutions. 1t has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors
fran their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the
fashions are regularly reported in its
columns.
The price of the Weekly Sun is
one dollar q year for sheet Of eight
pages, and fifty six columns. As this
barely pays the expenses of paper and
printing, we are not able to make any
discount or allow any premium to
friends who may make special efforts
to extend its circulation. Under the
new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar year,
with twenty cents the cost Of prepaid
postage added, is the rate of subscrip-
ton. 1t is not necessary to get up a
club in order to have the Weekly Sun
at this rate. Anyone who sends one
dollar and twenty cents will get the
paper, postpaid, for year.
We have no travelling agents.
The WEEKLY Sunlight pages,
fifty-six columns. Only $I.2O year,
postage prepaid. No discounts from
this rule.
The DAILY SUN "A large fonr-
page newspaper OF twenty-eight col
nmns. Daily circulation over 10000.
All the news Tor two cents. Subscrip-
ton. postage prepaid, IS cents a
month, or $3.50 year. To clubs Of
10 or over, discount of 20 per cent.

Daily and Weekly for rs.
The Leading American Newspaper,
Founded by Horace Greeley

TIN TIE RECENT ELECTIONS
i the people have declared in favor If
honesty in politics and independence
in journalism. THE TRIBUNE, which
years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be a party organ.
claims the verdict, as the popular vim.
dicatiOn of ITS course, and recognizes
in the result the voice of the peoplo
for reform and integrity in govern.
ment, for candor and independence
among newspapers. During the cam.
paign which has just closed THE Tn.
BUNE has fully maintained its right Ia
the title of the "Lcading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following.
among other reasons: "
1t publishes all the news, earlier
more fully, and more ilhelligently than
any other paper.
1t insists on peace throughout tia
whole country, the right of local self.
government, and the protection of ali
classes in the exercise of their just and
legal rights.
1t advocats confidence and good feel.
ing between Nortl, aud South, and
labors for an honest and abiding re-.
Cancellation.
1t maintains fairness and canlor to.
ward all public men and questions, and
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports:
discussions and discoveries to degrea
of fullness and accuracy never before
attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or moro
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in the aggregate than tho
entire contents of any other agri-
cultural publication, and the whole
forming department of which, an
eminent agricultural editor said: alt
has done more to make good farmers
than any other Influence which ever
existed"
1t has published a series of scientific
and literary extras which have met 4
wider scale and more emphatic popu-
lar approval than any similar publica.
ton of the kind.
