The Temperance movement in the towns of New Milford and Canaan has assumed very large proportions. In the former place the Ray reports over twelve hundred sgners of the pledge and Mir. Murphy himself addressed the people there on Saturday. The Canaan News reports over four hundred signers in Falls Village. This is splendid showing for the Blue Ribbon cause in the Western part of the county and we are glad to hear that the temperance apostles think of visiting Litch- field soon.
 It takes Winsted man to catch a rogue. The constant rubbing of Flat against West End sharpens the Winsted intellect to an un- commonly keen edge. Here was 'L. Fryer, & Co.," a Cincinnati swindler, who ''did" us out of a square advertisement. The Herald knew it was swindle the moment it read the Fryer proposition, got the proof of it, and then exults over us for nearly column. But the Winsted intellect has been brought to almost too fine point For instance resolu- tion was recently introduced allowing New Milford and Winchester to contribute to the building of jail in this county. By existing statute that jail can only be built in Litchfeld and when the resolution passed in conformity with the law, the Herald attacks Mir. Andrews for reporting such measure which is simply a combination of two resolutions sent to the judiciary committee. The Herald sees some thing very suspicious about another resolution which provided for meeting of the represen- tatives of this county on Tuesday next. We are informed that this resolution was introduc- ed by representative of the town of Win chester, queer place for such conspiracy to originate!

Prison Life Conducive to Long
evity.


Any one reading the sentence Of
some notorious criminal to u term
of years in Sing Sing or Auburn
will naturally feel pity for the evil
doer. But if it was known that u
man or woman consigned toa we'll
kept prison is actually benefited
in point of health, we would not
lament their lot to such degree.
In point of fact, the records of the
best English penltentiaries show
that PERSONS chances of life
are nearly double what they
would be in state of freedom.
Notwithstanding that two-thirds Of
the inmates enter such institutions
with disease upon them, often in
advanced stages, yet as result OF
pure air, cleanliness and well regu-
lated diet, prisons are made seats
Of health. In those of Scotland,
which are models of good manage.
ment, the death rate is only In
1000. Contrast this with the
death rate of II per 1000 in the
British army, or with the average
of 20 per ], 200 in other occupations,
and it will be seen what marvel
Gus results may be obtained by
proper sanitary regulation.
A high medical authority de-
clares that the Perth prison in
Scotland is apparently the healthi-
est place in the world. The Gov
ernment Inspector who visited it
six times annually for thirteen
years rarely found more than two
amongst $50 inmates in the infirm-
ary, while once or twice there was
no one. Epidemics rage around
such institutions, but do not enter
them, and we can we'll understand
the expression of surgeons regard
ing patients in their private prac-
tice, "If [ could only have that
case in prison L could save the
life. ."-Sanitary Inquirer.

We are In receipt of pamphlet
issued BY the Mercantile Agency of
r. @. Dun 4 Co., giving the trade
proapscts Of the Pacific Coast for
the oonlng Fall and Winter. 1t is
printed with hne taste aud good
arrangement and is very full in its
ds(ails, giving correspondence from
saoh city and town of Importance.
Concerning Los Angeles, the fol-
lowing IL given, which must be ad-
mitted to be very candid and fair,
all things considered:
Tue products of this county are
almost entirely agricultural; min
ting interests are prospective; lum-
boring undeveloped, and manufac-
turing, with the exception of wine,
normal. Receipts from stock rais-
ing and wool growing are light, on
account OF loss of live stock by
dfouth last year; but grain, fruit
and wine producers are sending
forward large crops. The entire
yolumejof products is considerably y
In excess Of previous years, but the
money derived by producers will
b. mainly absorbed in settling
old accounts with merchants
who have large outstandings on
their books and moderate stocks.
Mercantile business is overdon
especially in staple articles, and
during the past two years accumu-
latiOns have been very light, and
only by those in possession of
abundant capital, large experience
and extra ability. Real estate has
been on the decline during the
-1fnst two years, but f1rmer ground
u thought 10 have been reached.
Building operations are active, as
capitalists have confidence in the
sOlidity Of the county. Prospects
are better for the next six months,
but no great Improvement is anti
cipated.
The psmphlet will be ofgreat SER
vice to the business community.
