 Mir. c. c. Hitchcock has contracted for repairing the road along the southern shore of the lake for term of years, and has recently cut the brush for ten feet on each side. A further improvement of this nature is needed to make this beautiful road all it should be. Since the building of the road thick growth of sprouts has sprung up between that and the lake, often intercepting the view entirely. These should be, in part cut away and in part trimmed up. Then it would be what it was when the road was first built-the finest drive in the county.

The use of carpetings may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car. pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet O., of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs. HALL & READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state. Hall < Read also enjoy deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates. They retail all do- nestle goods at the wholesale price lists and it is said that all kinds of housekeep. ing goods can be purchased there as low as in New York. We would advise our readers when in Bridgeport to visit Hall X Read. % 4w

The Elections,

The Hard Money victory in Ohio, last week, turned out less decisive than first reports indicated. It has been reduced by subsequent returns to about 5000. Still itis evident'that on any other issue the democracy would have carried the State and the result is anything but en- couraging to the new heresy. We print on our first page the opening and most important letters of the Schurz- Phillips controversy. There seems little doubt that the Ohio victory is due to the in- aueDce of the former with the Germans of that State, who went with him for Greeley in 1872. and who have now voted with the Republicans for Hard Money. His speeches and letters are not powerful with his fellow-countrymen alone, however, they are the best we have seen on our side of this important controversy, and place his adopted country under renewed obligation to Carl Schurz. Mir. Phillips is always juicy, in fact too juicy for so ory suoJect as Finance. Among other blunders he makes the mistake so com mon among Infationists of confounding the question of an irredeemable paper currency with the question ofa bank pa- per as distinguished from a government paper currency, which is very different and much more doubtful matter.
 The success of the Republicans in Iowa and Nebraska by old fashioned majorities shows that in the Northwest Hard Money is as popular as in the East. The Repub- lican victory in Newark. N J.. is matter of some significance; and. on the whole. the blunders of the imitation Democracy have made October T5 rather a trium- phant month for Republicanism as we'll as for Hard Money.
