An English weekly says that the fall

A LIVE TowN-ALMosT A TRAGEDY-THE
THIRST FOR BEER.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
l do not want ycI to think that we
are in a sleeping or dead city, but for
fear you will think so, l will try 10 give
yOH an item or so.
We came near having a tirst-class
tragedy, or rather fight, the other day.
1t was caused from an advertisement OF
Messrs. Mitchell & Hill, the heading of
which read thus: GA man shot dead. !"
Messrs. N. B. Quinn 81 Co. put out a
hand-bilI stating that the man that was
shot by their friends on the corner was
shot with shOddg goods and the gun was
loaded with shabby stuff Mr.. Mitchell
met Mr.. Quinn on the street and told
him that he had lied, and that he (Guinn)
was lying scoundrel. Quinn made no
defense. Mitchell then denounced him
in public print, and, as yet, Mr.. G. has
made no defense.
The excitement in the wheat market

fountain. They reminded me of sheep
in the hot month of July. You know
they break their necks almost to get TO
a spot of shade that they can barely get
there head in, then the body can go.
The same did these dear fellows, only
they stuck their heads in beer mug in
place of shade, but their bodies were
soon laid IN the shade by some friends.

A RETURN OF STATESMEN AND DIPLOMATS
RENEWAL OF LIFE ON THE AVENUE
A CONTRAST BETWEEN THE ENGLISH
AND THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
OFFICES.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 9th, 1879.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Washington is beginning to re.assume
its society smile and political manners.
Congress with its numerous non descript
train is beginning to arrive. The Exc
eutive and his cabinet have at length
settled down in their homes. Foreign
ministers, attaches of legation, military
and naval officers may again be seen
driving or promenading on the great
boulevard that stretches from the Treas
ury Department to the Capitol. Dash
ing government clerks, aristocratic
daughters of a bankrupt old regime, and
stylish parvenudom, opulent in govern
ment contracts, vie in the display of
Partisan fashions and American manners
on Pennsylvania Avenue In short the
political mill, Mammon's court, and
Vanity Fair, have been again brought
they can be seen in such development,
on this side of the globe.
The habitue of Washington who has
been away during the summer will OBJ
serve but few changes. The city has
grown to such grand proportions that
the addition of hundred or more house S
make no perceptible addition to the
mass 1t is only when some new and
imposing building is added, like the
annex to the Smithsonian Institution, or
the new Government printing office in
South Washington, which are about half
completed, that the architectural growth
can be seen becomes conspicuous. Few
capitals have so many and such splendid
public offices as our own, and on none Is
so much money lavished for interior
adornment and luxury. In this respect
the contrast between the U. S. Treasury
offices and the Bank of England is strik-
ing and suggestive. In the Treasury
Department offices are richly carpeted
supplied with mirrors, easy chairs, and
lounges, in the other only coarse mating
covers the stone floor, and it is in other
respects furnished with little less seveTi-
ty than prison. The appearance OF
the committee rooms of the House of
Parliament contrast with the chambers
of our congressional committees as does
the cell of Tecluse with a ladies bou-
dOir

THE STTVA TTON

The battle Of 1879 has been fought
and the smoke has SO far cleared
away IS that results may be seen.
What are they? They are nothing
to the country in general, except as
they cast their shadows ahead. To
see these shadows, we need only TO
study the facts. They exist, and
they indicate pretty plainly how
things will go in 1880. Our Repub.
lican friends are growing, but the
thinking ones among them know
very we'll that results are not favor
able tothem. Ohio. they say. has
gone Republican. This is true.
Rather, it Is true that Tom Ewing.
with his Wishy.Washy "Ohio idea,"
failed to consolidate the vote OF the
Democracy, and Foster was elected
by a small majority upon an exceed
ingly full vote. Ohio is, for our Re-
publican friends. dangerous ground
for 1880. They try to say New
York has gone Republican, bnt that
is too thin. Everybody believes
now that New York will cast her
electoral vote for the Democratic
candidate in 1880. Stalwart Maine
lacked over eleven hundred Of goiBg
Republican. Massachusetts with
her former fifty or sixty thousand
Republican majority has been able
20 elect her candidate By only twelve
or thirteen thousand. In Maine, 10
Ohio, in New York, In Pennsylvania
everywhere the Republicans carry
elections, but with intense and ex-
hauSting efforts, and after all by
small majorities. The New York |
Herald SAYS their hold on the coun.
try lie not secure by any means, and |
admits that q strong Democratic
candidate next yeas, on q sound and |
honest platform, would give them
troGbis, sad might defeat them.

left the great fact still standing out,

strated the fact that the Republican
party has gained no State that she
did not control In 1876, when she
had. as abe claimed, the electoral
college by majority OF one. On
the other hand, nothing Is more Ger.
tain than that since 1876 she has
lost two Of the States that she then

From the Chronicle we learn that the
store of Mr.. J. w. Borches, of Straw
berry Plains, was entered by burglars
last Thursday night and robbed of
about $500 in money and $40, 900 in
notes. Of the money $500 was in JEFF
ferson county scrip, and the rest in
specie and currency. The burglars eff
fected an entrance by boring a hole in
the window shutter and thus unfasten-
ing it and getting through to the store
room. They took the safe key from
the pocket of the clerk who was sleep
ing in an adjoining room without dis
turbing his slumbers, and thus gained
access TO the valuables No definite
clue to the perpetrators of the robbery
has been discovered.

A contemporary puts the matter in
this wise: When the business men of
town fail 60 advertise extensively
they diminish the Importance and trade
Of the place, and permit more enter
prising localities to take the latter away
from them. Although done for their
individual interest, advertisers should
be looked on by citizens of the towns
where they reside, as in some sense pub
lie benefactors, and they should be en-
couraged accordingly. One merchant
who advertises extensively is worth to
his own town and its people more than
forty that never show themselves in
print, and should be for this reason
alone preferred, assuming that he is. of
course, a fair business man.
