OURSELVES. y


word for ourselves, II topic, we trust
rs entertaining to our readers rs tt
,,s. We appear this morning inancw
coat fresh from Now York the
metropolis of fashion,
Thorc arc times in the life oI
eve individual when he turns
abou and discovers that he is in
need Of a new coat. Tho old fellow
he has worn 80 long, and become SO
attached to, is showing unmista1ablc
symptoms of decay. It's collar is
thrcadbaro, its sleeves frazzled, and
lis color departed. So with q sigh
OF rcgrot he bostows it on some in
telligent contraband, md invests
i'll a now garment
a newspaper also, is COMPEL.
cd to rcplcnish its wardrobe and
appear before it's friends in rmfnmi-
]iar garb. This lie HERALD docs
today. But it's change is only OK
tcrnal. 1t is still the samo paper
that has SO long boon an inlabitant
OF the boro. '".
THt HERALD plods it's way along
slowly, but wo rejoice to say, moves
onward. Pursuing it's modest path,
it has seen many ambitious contcm-
poralies fail ''like lcaves in wintry
woathcr.' That It has been more
fortunate, is duo to tho friendly
patronage of the people Of Fairfield,
and Of many Of her sons in distant
lands.
But while tho NEWS and HERALD
arc regular visitors to most of the
iirrsidcs in the County, there aro IL
few to which they are strangers
They aro anxious to extend their
acquaintance. An invitation to
this OBJECT in tho form of u small
grccnhack will he roadily accepted
''in the Same kind spirit'in which it
is offered"
A newspaper is Il necessity thcs Q
days Fraud and crime love dark
ness, and cnn only be checked by
means of n watchful sentinel always
ON tho alert.
This paper has ovcr cndcnvored to
serve tho hest interests Of tho Doo-
pic, and it shall continue to labor
earnestly i'll their behalf All il
ask" is that it be plcntifully sup
piled with tho "sincws of war"
In conclusion VIC trust that ere
VIC arc compelled to don now dross
again, the country will have SO pros
percd that new clothes will bo us
common rs old ones are to-day, and
that even tho Herald will not feel in
rlined to boast of having nrraycl
itself in new garments.
The people of Port Jcrvis came
near being carried away by flood
last year. notwithstanding this
awful warning they arc nocking tc
hear Theodore I'ilton lecture. A
shower of fire and birthstone is next
in order. ...

notice. Lovers can set up oven

The Now York democrats hav,
adopted u platform calling for spc

nntagonism with the democrats O
Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA. Tho re
suit will probably be that if the con
tractionists succeed in capturing TIL,
national democratic convcntioSSF Til

Allen will head the ticket, if tho rae

The liberal republicans of Nov
York and of Massachusetts have re
solved to ally themselves with TIN
democrats in the coming struggles
Rcpublicanism in Massachusetts i
III such bad way that an effort ha
been made to persuade vicc-pres
dent Wilson to resign his presen
position and run for governor. Blu
MIR. Wilson cannot SEQ matters i
that light. a bird in tho hand
worth two in the bush. The ropubl
cans cannot regain Massachusctt
until they recall tho tribe of carpo
baGgors who arc scattered ovor til
South and whose exodus made a 81
breach i'll the ranks of the trooly 10
party OF progress. Or else let the,
invite tho Georgia freedmen to in
migrate to the bay State.
