Litchfield enquirer., 1879-04-10
Washington.

1 APPRAIsERs.-Since our communication ot two weeks since, this town has been perambu- lated by appraisers on different estates. The valuation of those estates might be matter ot curiosity and discussion to many enquiring minds, but we cannot inform them, neither do we think it wise or prudent 10 do so People in general do not wish publicity given to their own private affairs. Occasionally we might l furnish long list of items for the Enquirer but sympathizing with II. N, we would not design to give offence to any one.
 ABsENT.-Mr. and Mrs. George Logan are absent to attend the celebration of the Golden Wedding of Mrs. Logan's parents, MT. and Mrs Nettleten, at Medina, Ohio.

 Mir. Edwin Whitehead has vacated the Hickox farm, and occupies and improves his own farm on Church hill. Mir. Harry Bradley, of Roxbury, takes his place on the first men toned farm.

 MT Romulus w. Ford has rented board ing house in Lakeville, Salisbury, and expects to remove there this week. Success to him Mir. Wm. J. Ford is expected to occupy the house vacated by him. We learn that they have goodly number of boarders in prospect. They have our best wishes.
 CALvANIsM AND DoGMA.-We regret that any of the good people of Litchfield have seen Calvin's ghsst. Rev. Spencer Bray informed us within few years that he was not dead, but living in the hearts of millions, who enter tained his views at the present day. Orthodox christians have nothing to fear from it. Hume, Froude, Carlyle, Frothingham, Parker and Robert Ingersoll, may well be alarmed. The extinct volcano may burst out anon. With the dogmas creeds, and traditions of man, we have no more respect than we have for cant, but Calvin's tenets were built on the former action of the apostles and prophets divine truth, they will remain. We challenge for them an investigation.
 LoDGE.-A delegation of Rising Sun Lodge attended the funeral of NJ. l.. Frost, of New Milford, on Saturday. s.
 MIR. EDIroR.-The peneumonia that has proved so fatal to many of our most prominent citizens, has died away and no new cases are reported. Miss Anna Richmond. who was so dangerously i'll at the time of her fathers death, three weeks ago. is yet very feeble; but suffers mostly from an abscess on her face which probably diverted so much disease from her lungs as to save her life. It is said she has been the only one attacked by pneumonia in town who has survived that disease this sea- son. Dr. Brown has proved a faithful friend as we'll as an attentive physician.

Other changes are contemplated after this supplementary winter thaws out.
