but The large number of skilled
mechanics there, both in wood and
iron, many of whom now find en-
ployment abroad, if they would
unite together, aud with others OF
larger means form joint stock
company, substantially on the plan
proposed by MI. Haskins they
would make it a success.
Your village and town, in com,
mon with others in the. State, has
suffered from emigration to other
States Of the Union, and it behoovcs
those who remain to till the soil

mercantile pursuits, to do all in
their power to counterfeit this ten.

NEXT Monday Connecticut has
its last spring election. The cam.
paign appears to be progressing
very quietly and the result in New
Hampshire has put out calculations.
Last year Governor Ingersoll had a
majority of 654S and a plurality
over the Republican candidate of
$3.50. This year the Republicans
have stronger candidate and the
vote will not be divided by a tenn
perance candidate. The soft mon.
ey movement is likely to do more
harm to the Democrats than the Re-
publicans, and, taking all things in
to account, it looks as though the
contest would be close one, with
little margin for predictions either

The main difference between Bris-
tow and all the other candid ates is
not so much his superior abilities
although they are undoubtedly SUI
perior to those Of and who has been
named on the Republican side-as
the fact that he occupies public
place without having made any per
sonal effort to obtain it or to keep
it, and that he is by nature and by
training utterly out of sympathy
with the selfish crew who look on
public Office as a means of serving
personal ends. Of course Mr.. Bris-
tow is aware that he is growing
rapidly in the public estimation,
and that he is looked upon as the
most acceptable candidate by all the
best men of the Republican party,
but he has not got the Presidential
fever at all, and is man so unspoil-
ed by his political experience, and
so disenchanted with the turmoil of
public life, that he would, believe,
