SPEECHES AT THE OUTSIDE STANDS.

The whole front of the building was covered
with flags ana illuminated by colored lights. On either
side of the main entrance there had been erected plat
forms for outdoor speeches. aud these also draped
with banners, and made bright with OF Chinese
lanterns. Calcium lights and diplay Of sky
rockets added to the briancy OF the scene, and lit
up the Tilden and Hendricks banner swung across
the street and the large oil paintings of the
emOTs which adorned several conspicuous places pill
lars and window easements. Across the way in vacant
lot, another platform had been erected for German
speaking, and the incOsure was soon filed. As
TIE inner hall became filed, the crowd over
flowed upon the street, and the place III front
OF the building became packed The street
gained passage with difficulty, the crowd opening
and closing Ike mass OF quicksand disturbed by a

Town meeting passed off quietly with small vote, the Democrats carrying everything as usual, and only two Repub- licans elected. Both parties united in the election of Dr. North as Town Cler k and as Registrar of Births Sc. The Town is free from debt, with $2.241S1 in the Treasury, and the tax for all purposes next year is te be five mills on dollar. There were but few votes against the Con- stitutional Amendment The vote on the License question was 61 in favor and fl against 1t.
 At the meeting of the Board of School visitors, MT. Lyman Hall was reelected acting School visitor. and there is to be a meeting of the Board at the Conference Room, Saturday, Oct. 14th at P.

our.Town Report.

The report of the Selectman on Mon- day last, of our Town expenses shows the total expense of the Town to have been $24, ,4N. The roads have cost us $6, ,712, ,45. and the bridges $1. 1.655.s1. and damages from defective roads $5O,5O. It may ap. pear strange that there should be any damages allowed when so much is laid out on the roads, but we must bear in mind that the severe storms of last winter washed them badly in many places. This made it necessary to expend over 8 thousand dollars to main tain them more than it did in 1875. The schools have cost $4, ,S4O.38 besides the expenses of the school visitors which is $261 ,OO more. This is expended in good cause but it seems as if five thousand dol lars ought to render our schools more ef- fective, and that better system of edu- cational facilities, could be had for the money. Would it not be good idea for our townspeople to look to this feature of town expenditure more closely.
 We can speak a good word for the general conduct of our dogs. In 1875 they killed $1O7,79 worth of sheep. While this year it is only $35, ,00. There is evidently a genuine reform in the Demo cratic administration.
 The poor we have always with us, but we are happy to say, not to as great an extent as the previous year, when it cost us g, ,635. % to support them. while this year it only took $l. .73O to provide for them; either there are leaa of them or else they have fared poorer, we sincerely hope that the former is the true state of affairs. We have paid 5000 on the Shepaug road building, leaving only little more than an hundred thousand dollars to pay.
 It costs us $1S7, to try our criminals, only about four cents per head of the in- habitants we have. Do not think person who cannot commit more than four cents worth of crime in year amounts to much. No. wonder they call us dull old" town. We also find that there are 703 school children, of whom 123 reside in our Cen. ter district. and they are allowed just 30 dollars more for their education, than twenty-four over on Guernsey Hill. Hadn't our rural districts better complain of such favoritism to Litch- field Hill.
 Our liquor dealers have aided the town by paying $641 for Licenses, while that circus that foundered in the mud down on Meadow street. last spring, gave fifteen dollars for the privilege.
 We are owing now beside the Railroad bonds aforsaid 1O,374,61, of which our old friend Samuel Clock has an order for twenty-nine cents.
 We cannot close this hasty review with out congratulating ourselves and our re. tiring selectmen for the general good con- dition of our roads, bridges, town farm, &c. in fact all town affairs. and hope they may be administered the ensuing year as honestly and wisely.

Our Democratic friends in Waterbury are having a very harmonious time, we judge by the reports of their various cau- cuses. At one of their meetings that gift. ed story-teller, John Kendrick, under took to preside. and Judge Merrill, for merly one of our Republican townsmen tried to help him, but this did not suit Dr. Jacques and his friends. The remarks of the contestants were very friendly indeed. pr. Jacques said, "Mr. Kendrick had no right to call the meeting as he did, he wanted fair play and would have 1t in spite of Kendrick and his pimps." This Kendrick bore for the sake of his son 'sGreen," but didn't think an ex-republi. can Postmaster, and Democrat of only three years growth should be permitted to break into the party's ranks and create dissensions. The reporter states that they "talked business" for some time in this manner, but finally Hendricks side prevailed and they nominated according ly. John KendFiek then made an un- terrified speech, and calls were made for Dr. Jacques who said as he was only three years old he was too young to speak.
 Considerable difficulty occurred in get ting a Town Committee. John Kendrick was nominated and declined. Green Ken drick was also nominated but his father also declined for him. Mrs. John Ken drick was nominated but not accepting, the Kendrick family was exhausted and no one was nominated.
 In another ward considerable unpleas- antness occurred, but finally the oil of of- fee was poured upon the troubled waters and peace relgns in Warsaw again.

 Dear Sir,-It gives me very great pleas- ure to inform you of the benefit received from the use of Peruvian Syrup in my own family. My wife for the past ten years, has been in feeble health-very much debllitated generally. Last spring she concluded to try a bottle of Peruvian Syrup, and was so we'll pleased with the result, continued it's use until three or four bottles had been used, and she is Tn better health now than at any time for ten years, and has increased in weight from no lbs to l56l. I have employed Physi- clans, and great variety of patent medi. cines, to the extent of hundreds of dollars, and know she received more benefit from the Peruvian Syrup than all the rest together.
 My sales on the Syrup are very large and constantly increasing, and do not hesitate to recommend and even warrant it to give satisfaction. If you desire, you are at liberty to use this communica. tion as you seef fit, as it gives me pleasure to recommend so good an article to suffer- ing humanity. Yours truly,
 ITHTEI PEASE
