But the noble one, "III try"
Do whate'er you have to do
With \ true and earnest zeal;
Bend your s:Cews to the task.
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Though your duty may he hard.
Look not on it as IN ill;

Do it with an honest will.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

There is an exciting contest inst now
in Connecticut. On next Monday a
general election will be held in that
State. A full compliment of State
officers are to be elected, and n Legis-
lature which will elect United States
Senator to fill the unexpired term of
Ferry, Republican. deceased, whose
place is temporarily occupied by Gov
ernor English. A member OF Congress
il also to b. elected in the Third Dis
triet, to fill the vacancy created by the
death of Stark weather, Republican.
This makes the contest one of great
importance to Connecticut aud inter-
esting to the whole country III eonse-
quence of the real or supposed infiE-
encs of the result on the Presidential
election. Since the organization OF
the Republicsn party the State has
always given q majority for its candi-
date for President. In 1868 Grant
carried the State by majority of
S,O41, and in 1869 the Republicans
elected a Governor by about 500
majority. In. 1870 the Democrats
elected q Governor, but in 1871 aud ~
it went Republican again, and in
the last named year gave Grant
majority of 1919. Since then
the Democrats have elected u
Governor every year at the annual cleo
ton. Ingersoll's majority last year,
for Governor, was 6.538, and Stark
weather's, in the Third District for
Congress, 942. Both parties are
actively engaged in canvassing. and
each hope to carry the State.

The Bristow Hog story Explained
The Commercial this morning pub
fishes an affidavit from j. G. Reeves,
author of the Bristow Hog Story, in
which he says the story was first told
by him while uadsr the ipfluence of
liquor, and to crafty silly spirit Of
Boosting to which he is slave. There
was no foundation of truth in the story;
never at any time gave 3. II. Bristow,
or anyone for him, for his use and
besstit, any money or property of any
kind for say purpose whatever; nor
did he at any time have n conversation
with Bristow about such matters, aud
he is moved to make this plain state
ment solely and only in the interest of
truth and justice. aud is not Influenced
thereto b. fear Of consequences to him
self of his first statement, nor by any
hope OF present or prospective benefit.
Proposition 10 Reduce Railroad
Rates.
CHICAGO, lIarch 81, 1876.
Managers of the Eastern pool lines
will hold a meeting here to-day for the
purpose of consulting in regard to the
adyisnbility of reducing rates on grain
to New York to thirty cents, and by
this means withstand the competition
of the lake routes. 1t is said to be
probable that the reduction will be
decided upon. The Illinois Central has
operated its line in Iowa during the
past year in direct opposition to the
railroad law of that State, but will here
after comply with the law. The new
freight tariff will 60 into effect Saturday,
and considerable reduction will also be
made in passenger rates. A number OF
suits now pending against the road may
have had something to do with this
change of rates.
