Eds. Tel.-The long needed rain has at
last blessed this community with its pres
ence. and the roads are sestling -thus pre-
pairing for fair week.
One of Che features Of our fair, this year,
is a baby show, to come off on the second
day-Thursday. For the best looking ba-
by under one year, premium of 50 90 is
offered; and premium for best looking ba-
b. over one year and under two-and-a-half,
is So 90.
It is rumored that balloon ascension
will take place at the fair here this fall.
A considerable meniment was occasion
ed here last night by man who had been
imbibing little TOO freely, making politi-
cal speeches. Notwithstanding his not be-
ing extremely sober, he had sense enough
left to not forget that Hayes wac the man
for our next President. The speaker did
not claim to be Bill Tweed, nor yet Bills
brother, bdt he did claim to be one of the
Tammany clique, reformed. Probably that
accounts for being tight.

Mr.. George Kepler, the efficient and gen.
tlemanly head of the Erie store, has sue
cceded to the proprietOrship Of that busy
concern. The prosperity Of the establish
meht has been due in a great measure to
the business capacity Of Mr.. K. and now
that he has the additional incentive of ex-
elusive personal interest in its-success, We
may naturally conclude that the Erie is yet

iness tact entitle him. The old firm and

Eds Tel.-Our churches were all closed
on Sunday lnst but the Methodist. The
farewell sermon Of Rev. II. N. Stevens was
given. His separation from this church, of
course. is not without many regrets, and in
view OF his losses of wife and child during
the year, enkindles much sympathy.

Cheese making is on a rather small scale,

Since lamp oil has ':riz" from 8 or 10
gallons per dollar to 8 gallons, or therea-

The idea Of moving the lunatic asylum

other day and made nomination for MEM
Der of Congress. Discrimination should
probably be observed in the treatment Of
the two classes, for while the diagnosis of
one would call for treatment for moral OBJ
liquity. the other, and the lesser body,
should be provided with the straight jack
cts and consigned TO the ward for raving
maniacs. G.

stabbIng Array.


Last Saturday night between seven and
eight o'clock, another staBbing affray took
place at the Harbor, between gang of
drunken Finlanders and some other dock
laborers Of different nationalities. The
Fins, in the darkness cut and slashed at ev-
cry person they met. John johnson, a .qui-
ct and inoffensive Swede, was stabbed in
|. the back, neck and arms. and was nearly
dead from the loss Of blood before assist
ance was rendered. He is now doing well.
VIM. Terry received blow over one Of his
eyes, and several others were more or less
cut and bruised.
The disturbance did not last more than
fifteen or twenty minutes, and owing to
the darkness none of the cutters could be
identified. The prospects now are that
more blood will soon be shed over this af-
fair, as threats have been made.

In 1892, duringan exciting canvass, Lord

elaborate address to his constituency; and
at such time as this, when the country is
passing through an era Of grandest impor-

usefulness, it may well be carefully consid-
cred by all true lovers Of their country.
And it should be needed most especially by
those whose duty it is to instruct the mass
es upon questions of National and State
policy. But, after examining the letters
Of the leading candidates, and the speeches
Of the Democratic leaders in the South, as
reported by their own presses, we find the
statements therein contained so at variance
with established facts, that we find our
selves painfully embarrassed. Remember
ing that there was no hesitaney in accept
ing the condition of peace; that the amend
ments have been accepted by all State con-
ventions in the South; that even Mr.. Til

SAYRROOK,

The amount of matter in hand, last
week, when the following letter from our
