LICE N SEE.

At next Mondays town election will be settled the question of "License" or ''No License" for the coming year. Last fall No License was voted in Waterbury and Meriden and strenous efforts have been made to enforce the prohibition voted. We doubt, however, whether these efforts have accomplished any permanent results. In every city the demand for spirituous liquors is so great, that total suppress sion of the traffic is a practical impossi- bility,
 In country towns. however, where hab- it's of abstinence are prevalent. there ought to be little difficulty ih prohibiting the sale of liquor; and. with the growing feeling against the traffic. the "acreage" of prohibition ought to be considerably increased, next Monday. In this county, especially. good many towns voted Lii cense last year. which ought to do bet ter this. In Washington. License was carried by small majority; a New Preston dealer was licensed who has since been convicted before a justice of selling to minors; and the decision of last year will no doubt be reversed at the next town meeting. Canaan carried vote of No License in '75, and will we suppose repeat it this year, There IS a strong feeling in favor of prohibition in Win. chester and New Milford, and we should not be surprised if No License was voted in both towns. ~ . Prohibition under the present law has this great advantage that juries will convict. which they would not do under the old Statute. In this county. particu- larly. almost all the. appeals in liquor cases during the past year have resulted in favor of the state. either by the dealers paying up without trial, or being convict. | ed, a.. t.,

At WATTERTowN, at about A. NJ. of 1 Wednesday of last week, the large farm house of Joseph M. Munson was totally destroyed by fire. It was discovered by Wm. Munson, by seeing volumes of smoke roll past the windows. and it was with great difficulty that the family were all aroused. The fire appeared to have orlglnated Tn quite the rear of the build ing. where, 1t IS said, there could have been no possible exposure. and appears to have been the work of an incendiary. Only few articles of furniture could be removed from the house. The loss is es- timated at $6,000; insured for about half that amount. MT. Mnnson's residence was one of the finest in town. MT. Nun IS one of our most enterprising farmers, his farm being a large one, and having a dairy of nearly thirty COWS. This makes the fifth or sixth dwelling-hous burned to the ground in this town within the past few years.-O. B. King of Water town sent his herd of ten .Devons to the centennial by special train from Hartford on Sunday. MT. Hamilton of Watertown 1 has also taken to Philakelphla the pair of cattle that won the stone-boat prize at the state fair, and 3 pair of four-year-old twin cettle.-The funeral of Jennie l.. AL Iyn, youngest daughter ofC and III u Allyn, was attended at the Congregation al church, Saturday afternoon. Three lit- tie girls led the singing with the assist ance of the chorister, T P Baldwin. Each of the ''Gleaners'' dropped bouquet of white flowers, symbolical Of the immor- talitY of the pure, upon the coffin. The services at the grove were very affecting, and brought the tears to eyes all unused to weep.-Mrs. David Woodward's funer- al was attended Sunday afternoon in the Congregational church, Rev. Mir. Gilman | officiating. .-An2eric0Ya.

That perambulating nuisance, the tramp, is again on the march. Almost every day he is encountered and his ques. ton is invariably for the residence of the select man, or the distance to the next town. ..
 Several instances of petty thieving about the centre are laid to their. charge, but no arrests have been made yet. ?
 The Temperance question is being discussed considerably of late, and the vote of this town will probably be no Ii. cense on next Monday Should we be so fortunate as to do so it is hoped that en- ergetic measures will be taken to suppress the rum traffic, and that unlicensed dealers will be vigorously prosecuted. We have had this license curse about long enough and the people are heartily sick of it.

An EvII Precedent.

Recently, Messrs Prindle & Go. matters, at Mill Plain. near Danbury. posted a notice in their mill, requesting all their employees who intended voting the Re publican ticket to leave their service. This firm has actually discharged certain Republican workmen, though other req sons are assigned for that action. The attempt, however, to influence the votes of their employees Is updisguised, and presents question of the gravest impor- tance regarding which we are surprised to see the following views expressed by the New Milford Ray, apaper that is neu- tral in politics, and usually very conserv- atiye in its views:
 The employer who believes that his po- litical opponents are welded to policy which is detrimental to the best interests of the Country and ruinous to his own business, has some excuse for prefering to give employment to those who are in sympathy with what he believes to be right and withdrawingi it from those whose conduct he honestly thinks tends to in- juEe the Country and to his financial ruin. Looking at the matter n tbis light the action of the employer can hardly be con- demned. But there IS another aspect of the case which will probably attract most attention. The action of the employer will generally be regarded as an attack upon freedom of opinion and will be de- nounced accordingly. The discharged men will be likely to regard the action as great hardship and they will find plen- ty of sympathizers. The effect will doubt less be to strengthen the discharged men in their opinions. to induce them to labor with greater earnestness for their suprem- acy, and to add to their ranks.
 The business of most American manu- lecturers is more or less affected by tariff regulations, restricting or failing to re- strct foreign competition; and by the state of the currency-also subject to na- tional legislation. Every manufacturer therefore, who is a strong partisan, usually ''believes that his political opponents are welded to. policy winch is detrimen tai to the best interests of the country and ruinous to his own business. And should he require assent to his political views from the men he employs, he "can

The storm of the 17th inst. was very severe, the wind amounting almost to gale. breaking down trees in places and saving farmers the labor of picking their apples, of which hundreds of bushe Is wers on the ground, Monday morning. Some are feeding them to their cattle; turning their stock in to feed upon them without any restriction; thus testing the question of license, or no license. We have not heard of so many cases of intox- ication among them as among human be- ings, and this makes us more anxious to place restrictions ound mankind than bfutes.

 The remains of Mrs. Sarah B. Hayes, of Harwinton, were brought here for in- torment in the afternoon of the same day, MT. Colton conducting the services in the Congregational Church. The deceased ed was the daughter of Johnson and Su- san F. Logan, and born in the year 1900. At the age of 21 sbe united with the Cong. church, of which she was a valued and consistent member. For. several years she engaged ip school teaching and rank ed among the" first in that profession. Many in active life in this. and other states, may be ranked among her pupils, who will hold her in grateful remem- brance. She was friend and patron of most of the benevolent societies of the day. especially that of Foreign Missions, to she which was a constant contrib utor. Oct. 8th 1844, she was married to Deacon Chester Hayes of Granby in this state. Soon after this marriage they re- moved to Harwinton, where they held the reputation of good citizens and active christians. She died, Sept. 10th, aged 79.
