our midst of old and middle aged peo-
pie who formerly wore grey hair, or
whose locks were thin and faded, but
who now have presentable head pieces,
and with no little pride announce to
their friends that they haven't a grey
hair in their heads. 1t is pardonable
pride and the world would be better of
if there was more of it, for when the
aged make themselves attractive to 9th

How TO SELL NEwsPAPERs-AP RAC-
TIcAL LEssoN.-An amusing incident
occurred Saturday on board the Boston
and New York express train while halt
ing in Springfield, which is worthy of
record. Almost Immediately after the
train stopped, very small and almost
voiceless newsboy entered one of the
cars, and walking back and forth from
end to end of the carriage, murmured
something about the Springfield Union,
a single copy of which he carried under
one arm, and would doubtless have been
glad to sell. The boys idiotic apathy
and consequent i'll success in trade at
tracted the attention of a nervous-look

passengers, who, after observing thing
for few moments, jumped from his sea-

windsor County Politics,

A correspondent of the Rutland Her
aid, writing from Woodstock, says;
"Tne question of who shall be the
officers for Windsor county for the next
two wears is somewhat talked of, and the
impression is that two senators will be
taken from Windsor probate district,
and the states attorney and one senator
from Hartford probate district. E. j..
Whitcomb Of Ludlow, dealer in flour
and grain, and G. A. Davis, Esq, of
Reading, one of the most industrious
and successful lawyers in the county, are
prominently mentioned for the south
part of the county, while some farmer
from the north part Of the county may
fll the senatorial ticket. The states
attorneys commission will doubtless fall
to Norman Paul, Esq, or to Col. L. o
Seaver, both competent lawyers of this
village, with the advantage inclining tc
Paul, we're it not that he is an unmitigat
ed old bachelor, while Seaver, in addition
to an excellent army record, is the hus
band of good wife and the father o
two pretty little daughters, and ven
ture the opinion that the old fashione'
wing doctrine of encouragement to hom
industry will ultimately turn the tide il

ground of gun, cartridge-box and pow
