We have lately fitted up an
other large room for a show
room, which in addition to our
old rooms, and the lower floor
of Mr., Ford's building across
the track which we now occupy,
gives us facilities for displaying
a much larger stock than ever
before. We buy all our Fun nj
ture out and out for cash, where
ever we can buy the best, and
take NONE on commission, there
fore we can sell as close as any
house in the country.
In anticipation of an advance
IN prices we bought largely last
Fall, consequently we are able
to sell many articles much below
regular market prices of today.
If you are in want of Furniture
this spring don't be hasty, don't
buy until you are suited. Spend
day or so driving about to ex-
anime the different styles and
prices If you have plenty Of
time and considerable to buy, we
would advise you to visit the
Furniture Ware-rOOms at Litch-
field, New Milford, Waterbury,
Woodbury., &c. IN. B. When
those other fellows see this of
course they'll chip in and help us
pay for this advertisement, that's
where We'll make, you see), but
don't fail to swing around and
GIVE US A CALL
with the rest. If you don't buy
perhaps we can give you some
ideas about Furniture that will
do you no harm.

A terrible accident occurred at Hudson
River Tunnel, on Wednesday last; at Jersey
City. The difficulty occurred in a branch Of
the main tunnel which was just being COM
pleted. This tunnel is entered through a
perpendicular shaft about sixty feet in depth
The bottom of the river is composed of silt
of little consistency and the work of laying
the tunnel is made possible only by forcing
compressed air into it, thus relieving it from
the pressure occasloned by the weight of wa
ter and mud The greatest care has to be
taken, however, to prevent leaks through
which this air can escape. Last weeks acct
dent was occasioned by one Of these leaks
which, having been apparently neglected in
the beginning, got beyond control. AS soon
as the air escaped, the sides and top of ths
tunnel came crushing in; and, SO rapidly did
its destruction occur. that out of twenty EIGHT
wurkmen only seven could escape through the
air valve which separated the completed from
the uncompleted portions of the tunnel.

lies as often as upon truth; sometimes their
prejudlces are inf1amed sometimes, such IS
clamor of libellers in candid mems ears, that
they refuse to credit the facts as well as the
lies they see published, aud come finally to
doubt whether there is such thing as truth in
politics. The stringent need of more truth
telling is thus forcibly set forth in the conclud-
ing paragraph of the article above referred to:
Que true service that an honest journal may
render the country is to tell conventions and
candidates alike the truth and the wholetruth.
If these fall short of the mark let them know
it, and let them know it in a way that will
bring them a sense of their deficiencies. How
else are our politics 70 be kept sane and pure
and wise? The professional politicians have
already deplorably debased the whole tone of
party discussion, and if journalists continue to
follow in their wake, making what shnnl.I be
an earnest contest of principles wretched
squabble for place, the degeneracy will be only
the more rapid and fatal.
The Lick will controversy has finally been
settled. His son gets something over $780,.
900 dollars the Observatory, 800. 600; $780,
600 goes for a monument to Key, author of
THE Star Spangled Banner;" the San Fran
cisco Mechanical School of Arts gets $780,
900 and some $400, 900 go to various other
public institutions.
On Thursday evening last, another fatal
boat collision occurred, this time in the West,
in the Detroit riveraeAn excursion steamer
The Garland-ran into and sunk steam
yacht on which were party of wenty-four
persons, mostly choir boys and others connect
ed with Trinity Church (Catholic) of Detroit.
Sixteen persons were drowned. 1t was
bright moonlight night and there seems no ex-
cuse for the affair. 1t is believed that the
Garland was racing with another steamer at
the time.
Fire insurance is said to be one of the very
few kinds of business which do not feel the
reviving effect of the times. The rates contin-
ue greatly too high for honest insurers, but
the difficulty is that dishonest insurers can
thrive on the highest rates, such as are almost
prohibitive Just as, with the ordinary retail
business, honest customers pay not only their
own debts but those of customers who do not
pay; so, in the matter of insurance, honest in
surers are forced to pay such rates as will
enable the companies to meet the losses thrown
upon them by dishonest insurers.
The present Don Carlos, the Spanis', Pre-
tender, is apparently very hard customer.
In 1878 he had Gen. Boet one of his staff, ar
rested on charge of stealing valuable jewels
contrary, that he had sold those to raise money
for the Pretender who was in financial straits
After the delay of nearly two years Boet has
finally had his trial and was acquitted 1t is
thought that the jury may have been preiu-
diced against Don Carlos.

Injured. The old band stand is probably
swept away ere this.
AT West Brighton all the bathing houses
and portable structurea are floating around
or swamped on the beach. The waves
reached the floor of the iron pier and some
structures thereon we're carried away. The
islanders say they never witnessed go

railroads was made manifest by the pres.
ence on the beach of many railroad men.
A man, name unknown. went to the end Of

carried away with q portion of the struc
ture.
Long Branch, Feb. 3.-The most severe
and destructive storm ever visited this coast
