Rowland who, in the attempt to pass from one car to another when in mo- tion at Falls Village, fell, and the car passed over his body, causing almdstz in- stant death. The deceased was 46 years of age, and leaves a wife and two sons to mourn his loss. The body was brought to this town and kept at the depot on ice till Sunday noon, the 27fh. when it was taken to the residence of Dr. King, where the wife of the deceased was stopping, from thence under masonic orders, te the Congregational church, where an upcom- monly large congregation assembled to listen to the Rev. MT. Pierce from Brook field, and pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Then the brother Ma sons, at o'clock, bore the remains to their last resting place, followed by many friends and brethren. -.

The September Election.

The September elections, are never doubtful, but are regarded with some in- terest as showing the spirit with which the respective parties are entering into the campaign. The very heavy vote and increased Republican majorities of Yer mont and Maine show 1t IS square party fight and that both parties are doing their "level best" It is evident that the Re- puSlicans are thoroughly united and thoroughly in earnest, and that, if they are beaten, it will be from no such want of interest or etfort as l,et them SO many States in 1874. On the other hand the Democracy are polling every vote; and, if they are really in majority in Indiana, New York, and New Jersey, they will elect Tilden. They must, however, rely on their own partisans for success. The Liberals, with some prominent excep. tions, are supporting Hayes. MT. Tilden has, however, the heavy and increasing mass of foreign votes to fall back upon, and may carry enough Northern States. by "mane strength" to give him with his sure Southern votes, majority of the electoral college.
 It almost seems, in fact, as if the Indi- ana election, of Oct 10, would decide the campaign.

That there shall be return to sneeie payments by the most speedy and practi- cal methods: aud we have entite confi- dence that under the wise statesmanship and large business experience of SamueI J. Tilden and the counselors he will bring about him, such result will he surely effected without shock or detrl- ment to any industrial, commercial or financial interest of the country. The charge that the democratic party is inca pable of dealing efficiently with this prob lem comes with ill grace from a part, that is responsible for all the currency | shams of the last ten years, and with an- l limited powers has utterly failed durlng all that period to make the money of tie people as good as the money of the bond holders.
 Resolved, That four years of economi cal democratic administration in Connect icut have left the finances of the state in 1 sound and satisfactory conditlcn, upon l a reduced rate of taxation; that the con- seryative action of the legislature, during this period. in adopting just measni es and in observing rigid economy, merits the appreciation of the people; and we confidently appeal to them for continued support of the same democratic and lib eral party and policy.
 ResotUed, That We invite and welcome the cooperation of all electors, without regard to their previous party affiliations, in our struggle etoaccomplish to needed re- forms in the administration of the gov ernment, and the full re-estabIishment of the authority ofShe constitution and laws of the Union.
