Ladies wishing to purchase Dry Goods
would do well to send to w. B. Hall & Co.,
of Bridgeport, for samples. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Bridgeport Morning News, of
July 2nd: t-
Messrs. W. B. Hall & Co who advertise in
our paper to-day, seem to be doing real me-
tropoltan business: Any commendatory no
tice of the career of this successful firm
would be unnecessary, but we can't help OBJ
serving that their ambition is to place before
their patrons a continuous succession of nov
elites and bargains. and it has become a house
hold saying that if you want to buy under
price go to Halls" They are now going on
with their marked down sale and we would
advise ladies in search Of grenadines, summer
silks, huntington white goods to examine the
vast collection of seasonable goods now being
reduced in price by w. B. Hall & Co.

General Walkers report on South Carolina
shows the first-rate Importance of having a
man of keenness and courage as superintend-
ent of the census-ready to subject any re-
turn challenged to a re-examination on the
spot, and careless which party Is hit by the
result. He sent man down there to go over
those districts which showed the greatest gain
since 1870, and his agent found the people
there now who are reported on the schedule
That is conclusive as to the correctness of the
present census, and shows that that of 1870
was as an under-statement. While some re-
publican partisans may carp at Gen. Walkers
conclusion, they will fpd it difficult to i'm
peach it.-SprinQfeld Republican,

We are glad to learn that we wronged the
women of Winchester, last week, in imput-
ing to them any slackening of Temperance
effort, the present year. The closeness of the
vote, the comments Of the Winsted papers,
and the quieter methods pursued, led us into
that error. 1t seems that, instead of circula-
ting petition, they this year sent by mail to
each voter in the town a copy of the follow
ing appeal, signed by some sixty ladies of
that place: A.A'.@
To the Voters Of Winchester, soithom Dis5nc,

mems Christian Temperance Union, grateful

License" and believing that the best Interests
of the town and the welfare of the homes of
all our people would be promoted by suppress
sing entirely the sale of intoxicating drinks,
earnestly request you one and all, rain or
shine, to cast your ballots for No License at
the coming election.
On the election day they kept open their
Lunch Room, and made every effort to secure
votes for No License On the other hand, the
liquor men made tremendous effort and
slightly increased theirvote of last year The
loss was chiefly in ''stay- home" votes and
in the Indifference Ito use the mildest term
possible) of the practical" politicians. We
only wish these ladies had the chance TO make
their views emphatic, not only concerning

Two Lions and an Antelope.

i. Apropos flions and their prey, Dr..
Linderman, in his eight Months in an
Ox-Wagon }" narrating his journeys into
the interior of South Africa, relates q
very interesting anecdote concerning the
power of the black antelope to defend it.
self and ITS young from the attack Of
these gigantic cats.
The swart-vitpense box, or sable an.
telope. is the most rare, and therefore
most coveted antelope in South America.
In shape it much resembles donkey,
but, as its name implies, has brilliant
black skin, changing into white under
meath the belly. It's great glory, howev-
or, lies in its horns, which curve back
over It's head, sometimes growing to q
length Of between four and five feet, and
reaching almost down Its back. At the
point they are as sharp as needles, but
strong and penetrating as bayonet.
These horns have given the box the name
Of lion killer, and many are the stories
Of the valiant defence it has made Of IL.
self and its young from the assaults of
its hereditary foe. One Of the best known
hunters in Africa narrated to me an en-
counter he once had the good fortune TO
witness, between a swart-vitpense and
two lions combined. His attention was
attracted by hearing a long continued
roaring, which he at once knew to be Ii,
ons. at no great distance from HIM. He
had only q fowllng- piece, SO his first
thought was to make himself scarce a.
