 The fever is pretty much done 3 way with for this year. Are we to have repetition, another Fall3 What is to prevent its
 Let us not deceive ourselves, and try to be- lieve that nothing is required to prevent fur ther trouble To the best of my knowledge and belief, and I have taken great pains to know whereof speak, there have occurred in this town. the present autumn, forty three cases of well marked typhoid fever, thirty three of which originated within the village limits, and nearly all of these latter in very circumscribed portion of the village. It seems to me there can be no reasonable doubt in the mind of any that there must be some local cause for such serious outbreak. These cases were generally severe ones, such as are likely to occur in an epidemic from local causes. believe there is no doubt in the mind of any medical man in this vicinity, that these aoere occasioned by faulty condition of things which might and ought to be remedied. If this is so are we doing our duty to ourselves and the community by folding our hands and letting the matter drop?
 am not desirous of saying anything that shall have tendency to do us harm or that shall make people afraid to take uptheir abode with us on the contrary, 1 desire simply to state plain facts, that we may be able to cor rect our sins of omission and commission, and become more worthy of the reputation for sa- lubrity which Litchfield has heretofore enjoy ed.
 am not prepared to say exactly what ought to be done, but do believe that unless some thing is done to make this village more health full we shall all of us have occasion to regret it in many ways. Surely we have enough sickness and suffering that is unavoidable. Let us see to it that we do not have any that can by reasonable precaution be prevented. Let us not be penny wise and pound-foolish. Let us not fiatter ourselves that we can let things remain as they have been during the past summer without suffering serious c0nse- quences.
 The matter of proper drainage is confessed ly difficult, and of course somewhat expensive, but there are certainly no insurmountable ob stacles in the way of the good drainage of village 80 finely located as this, and the sooner we put our shoulders to the wheel and do what is necessary in the premises the better. 1 hope this matter will be agitated until some thing that is radical shall be accomplished in the way of putting this beautiful village in healthful condition.

 MIR. EDrToR.-Some of us have taken much interest in MT. Thrall's Sunday evening talks. especially since he commenced 8 course on the commandments. Last Sunday evening the fourth commandment was discussed for the second time, and the good people came near getting excited; because some persist in considering our Christian Sunday, commence rating the resurrection of our Saviour, and ob- served the first day of the week, as identical with the Jewish Sabbath, observed the seventh day, and commemcrating the creation. Ac- cording to the Jewish Pharisees, Christ was himself persistent Sabbath breaker and set the example to his followers. If it is borne in mind that He summed up all duty in Love to God, and man, and expressly stated that on those 1.-two commandments hang all the law and the prophets, !" we need not be much con cerned about breaking the ten commands when scrupulous to keep the last two as enjoin, ed by him.

 PoLIT1cAL-The Democrats were not as liberal this year as last, giving us but one rep rssentative, but as the Republicans have ma- jority in the Legislature, we are satisfied. i'To the victors belong the spoils," is a political maxim, and as buying an election has been pretty well shown up in the case of -Tilden, Barnum and Miles, we trust our United States Senator to be elected, will be above bribery.

SENATOR'S VISIT PRES. HAYES.
Concerning the Speech of
Mr.. Howe.

WASHINGTON, March 26. Among the callers at
the executive mansion this forenoon, were Mat
ihews, Hoar, Cameron of Wisconsin, Ferry and
McCook.
They called upon him with reference to the
speech of Senator Howe. They all expressed
more feeling in the matter than the President,
and suggested the speech be answered, fearing
that to permit it to pass in silence might be au adj
miss ion of its whole truth.
The President took different view on the ques
ton, placing himself on the ground that what he
had done in The of official action was based on
his sense Of right, without thinking for moment
what might be the result as affecting him person
ally. lie was opposed to a public response, pre-
ferng his acts should be the interpreter of his mo-
tves and principles.
He had sought to form his duty, and with
this be was content, no matter how others with
prejudiced minds might view his conduct. All
would recollect, he said, how bitterly Senator
Howe had denounced Lincoln toward the close of
his first term, and how others sought to prevent
LIncon being nominated for the second term;
but notwiIhs anding all this he was re-nomina,ed
and soon became more popular than ever, people
having become better acquainted with hin and
appreciated his conduct the more.
President Hayes was willing TO be judged ty
the sane tribunal. He does not appear disturbed
by Howe's speech, thinking time will indicate
him.

Another of the old landmarks has been re-
moved. Amasa Porter, Esq, aged about IS
years was borne to his last resting place on
Saturday last. Isaac Porter, his father, familiar
" known as Capt. Porter who in early manhood
was a sea captain, came TO this town from Mans
field, Mass, little more than eighty years ago,
and settled upon "a farm near Dunn's Corner,
where he lived till his decease, a prominent and
respected citizen. He reared large family and
like other of the early settlers. looked to his
farm for his living and always enjoyed a compe-
lance OF the good things of life. Amasa, the sub

str gh forward man, and a respected neighbor ard
citizen. He was an earnest whig n long as there
was a whig party but on the advent of the repub-
ican party, he at once dentied himself with that.
and has been up to his decease a consistent and
earnest worker therein, always to be depended

cipes he so much loved. lie was at town meet

and with his love for the principles of the repub-

the war OF 1912, and was made a pensioner by the
recent tardy act of Congress. His wife died quite
a number of years ago, and of late he has lived
