 A party from this village had pie nic at the Falls few days ago. It was an exceedingly pleasant affair. and great ly enjoyed by those who participated in it. We are glad to learn that an effort is being made to do something towards im- proving the surroundings of this beauti- full natural resort. A little money expen. ded now, would do great deal towards making it more attractive. We under stand that the improvements, at present, will consist of the erection of shed for protection from the weather, tables, benches, hitching posts. ct cetera. We trust, however. this will be only the be- ginning.

For the Enquirer. Another Chapter Of Accidents.

Reading in the last Enquirer of suc- cession of casualties that happened to a Mir. Sherman, of New Milford. and the remark that some people seem to be sub- iect to extraordinary accidents, reminded me of case, the main incidents of which are we'll known to many of the lnhabit- ants of Milton. allude to Baldwin A. Frisbie.
 When small boy, while playing on the bridge in the village. in company with his schoolmates, he fell into the water, and was rescued by stranger who happened to be passing at the time, after having sunk the third time. It was only by stren- uous and long continued efforts that he was resuscitated.
 Afterward, while playing in the barn, he got his neck so caught between the bars of horse rack that he was unable to extricate himself. and hung there till life was nearly extinct. He was frequently meeting with accidents, and the remark was made that he had been both drowned and hung and that nobody could tell what would happen to him next.
 Perhaps the next serious accident was being blown up with powder, by the pre- mature explosion of blast which he was putting in 0 rock. His face and eyes were so torn and disfgured that it was feared he would lose his sight, if not his life.
 Afterward, while assisting in repairing an old building, heavy timber fell from above, crushing him to the earth, and when he was released, in his own expres sive words. the toe of one foot, instead o pointing forward, was twisted completely ---A~-a---A:-4aa-'uIo for a1-Bv -thi' but under the skillful management of Dr Sweet he 80 far recovered as to get about and to do considerable work, though al ways cripple.
 After experiencing two or three othel narrow escapes, in one of which he wal caught under his sled in the woods, whith CT he had gone chopping alone. and Was | finally released after hours of peril by the arrival of assistance-he left his native place and removed with his family tc Granville, Mass. where he froze both his feet so severely as to be laid by fol months and perhaps years; and the effects of his ''bites" will no doubt be felt as long as he lives.
 These are only portion of the acci dents to which he was exposed, but stuff cient to show the truth of the remark that ''some people seem to be subject tc extraordinary accidents" A. Milton, Aug. 12, 1876.

ence that is now denied to it. One of the fallacious arguments employed by the enemies of this reform is that the hus- band, father or brother, represents the family. This is untrue. A family con- sisting of husband, wife, and minor chil- dren, has only the individual vote of the husband and father. On true conserva- tive principles the head of family should have at least two votes to the bachelors one; and such 8 measure has been re. gently proposed by ex-Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin. Woman suffrage would double the influence of the family, and it is the only practical method of effecting so desirable an object.
 There is no reason to expect. however, that women will not learn to use the bal lot as independently as the average male voter. Most men inherit their politics as they do their farms, and no doubt family and soclal influences would largely control the woman's vote. In one direc | JlOu, uOWGVGf, we DCAACtC VuoS "oWOA would soon learn to cast an independen ballot. She hates the dram-shop as few men ever learn to hate it. She is tho chief sufferer from mans intemperance and we believe that in her vote will b' found the natural antidote of the poison ous influence of the dram-shop in poll tics.
 We do not shut our eyes to the chanc' that in some respects the woman s vot' may not prove altogether beneficial. w should be sorry to see the old politica power of the pulpit restored,-a result t. which woman suffrage would probabl. tend. Still we are willing to run the risl of her re.enacting the Blue Laws. for th sake of the powerful and indispensable support she will certainly bring to decen cy, morality and temperance.

MOTHERS can secure health for their children and rest for themselves by the use of Castoria, perfect substitute for Cas- tor Oil. It is absolutely harmless, and is as pleasant to take as honey. For Wind Collie, Sour Stomach, Worms or constipation, for young or old, there is nothing in existence like it. It is certain, it is speedy. it is cheap.

 The Winsted News remarks that "great satisfaction is felt by our community with the verdict of the coroner's jury in the late homicide case" We don't see much occasion for Winsted self satisfac- tion in that matter. If Mclaughlin com mitted murder or manslaughter. the fact he was allow ed to walk off unmolested is extremely discreditable if the killing of Dupont was justifable the coroner's jury simply made geese of themselves in either case there was disreputable blundering somewhere.
 Performance of Wagner's new suite of operas began at Bayreuth, on Sunday evening. Every seat in the theater was full, and splendid audience, with the Emperor William.

 The Springfield Republican thinks the Democrats of Massachusetts will nominate Charles Francis Adams for governor and recalls the fact that in old Freesoil times Tilden helped nominate Adams for Vice.

 It is feared that the failure of the Thomas orchestra to "draw" at Philadel- phia will involve the infinitely more se- rious result of his permanent retirement from the leadership of his great orchestra.
