ANOTHER TRAMP OUTRAGE.
BOY SHOT IN NORTH cANAAxl


 On Monday morning of last week, as New ton Green, young man about seventeen years of age, in the employ of Wm. Bennett, was driving home from the Ashley Falls Mills, he was stopped by tive tramps just south of Judge Granger's one of whom went to the horses head while the other came to the side of the wagon and told Green to get out as ''they wanted that team" Green re- fused and, as the fellow put his foot on the wagon step to get in struck him on the head with the butt of his whip. The fellow then drew revolver and shot Green in the arm. The horse started, and the wounded man ap- plying the whip, got away from his assailants and drove rapidly home. On examination it was found that the ball had entered his arm just above the elbow, and, traversing the arm upwards, lodged in the arm-pit. The wound is not considered mortal, but the bullet has not yet been extracted
 The alarm was speedily given, and the se- lectmen of Canaan issued bills offering $1O0 reward for the arrest and conviction of the tramp, who is described as a tall man, six feet or over high, dark complexioned, with hair cut short, and wearing light brown clothes. His companion was smaller, and wore black clothes and an old soft hat No less than six tramps have been arrested and brought before Green for Identification. He declared that none of them were the men and is positive that he can identify them whenever they are brought before him. At latest accounts some 20 tramps were being followed up.
 The people in that vicinity are much excited and every effort is being made to ferret out the criminals

Eight of the Southington roughs who board cd a train on the Canal railroad, recently, in- suited ladies, &c., have been arrested, tried before Cheshire justice, and bound over. It seems that about forty of these men came down to Cheshire on the early evening train, where they drank freely and refused to pay
 insulted ladies walking in the streets, and broke the peace by disorderly conduct. The Chesh- ire people do not propose to have Southington ruffians invading their pleasant town in such a way. The town of Southington and the New Haven and Northampton railroad company have taken no action about this matter as far as we have. seen. It appears that Southington has suffered before. "An omnibus load of Odd-Fellows returning to Southington on the evening of July 3, from an excursion, were set upon by party of roughs and stoned. One of the Odd Fellows had collar bone broken, and H. D. Battis was injured in the ribs, Wm. Eagan, one of the assailants, was arrested and tried for assault with intent to kill He has just been let off with fine of $7 and costs"

It is but fair to say that the Governors ap. pointment of Louisiana politicians to positions they have earned only by their rascalities is a great scandal. Nor can we approve of the re- moval of office holders for returning impudent answers to Clerk Gorhams impudent claims for campaign contributions. Petty revenges of that kind are of the Conkling not of the Hayes style of warfare We regret to see 1t stated, too, that Kellogg has been allowed substantial control of Louisiana patronage, of late.

 It now seems that the father of Wesley w. Bishop. one of the Norwich prisoners, died suddenly under very suspicious circumstances, few years ago. The elder Bishop was a Methodist pastor at Moodus, and ofticiated, as usual, the evening before his death; but, when on. his way to the parsonage, few rods dis iant from the church, he was taken suddenly ill and was unable to reach his home without assistance. Medical aid was summoned and everything possible done for his relief, but he died before morning. His life was insured for the benefit of his son!

The EASTERN QUESTION WoRK OF THE
PEACE CoNGnEss. is reported that the
Berlin Congress has decided that Russia shall
have that portion of Bessarabia which she
lost in 1856, extending from the Pruth to the
Kilia Valley. The Dobrudscha is TO go to
Roumania. The frontier OF the new territory
is to be advanced so as to run from the neigh
borhood of Silistria, without including that
town, to Mangalia on the Black Sea. Rou-
mania will thus acquire fertile tract of
country, and be established on both banks of
the Danube. The Congress has recognized
the independence of Roumania and Mon
tenegro. 1t demanded that the former should
establish religious equality. Servia is to be
independent, with an addition of 1872 square
miles of territory, and lS2, 900 inhabitants.
She will retain Nssa but not Novi- Bazaar the
Kopavnik defle forming the western frontier
of the new territory. The Servian delegates
declare themselves satisfied The Montene-
grins are dissatisfied especially at obtain
ing nothing on the south. Antivari is to be n
neutral port, but open to Austrian men-of-
war Austria is to occupy Bosnia and Herze-
govina, and England is to take Cyprus.
Greece is to be endowed with the fee-simple
with reversion of Epirus and the shore of the
Egean Sea and Russia, which has been pre-
tending to he very submissive, is to be re-
warded for her complaisance by certain con
cessions in the East not yet accurately under
stood. The Turkish representatives mt first
protested against the occupation Of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by the Austrians, but after
ward assented, the Austrians having mean
while gisen satisfactory explanations, and
disclaimed any intention to annex the prov
inces, On the indemnity question England,
France and Italy refused to recognize priori-
ty for Russia's pecuniary claim. Russia dis
claimed any intention of asking priority or of
exacting territory instead of money. The

The farmers, who have mustered all
their help to secure their abundant crops of
hay, are expressing the opinion that, al
though farming may be a safe business in
general, haying is decidedly risky this year.

Does the fact that the fish law in regard

or does it follow that because few scamps
disobey the law That all should fall in with
them instead of doing their duty by appre-
hending the offenders? Let the sportsmen
decide this question for the peace of their
consciences.
