 Enterprise.
 A notable instance of which is the removal of Richardson & Co.,, from their old quarters opposite us to the large 30 foot front and story warehouse No. 289 & 291s State street, which has been fitted expressly for their use with all the modern appliances necessary for their extensive business. We congratulate them upon their success and prosperity, Tor we know it is well deserved. Our acqualn- tance with Mir. Richardson dates back some 20 years, and we have known him only as genial gentleman and whose integrity has al ways been beyond a question, and, although he has passed through vicissitudes which would dishearten most men, his real Yankee pluck and endur- ance has surmounted them all, and he has now the satisfaction of having prosperous business, well established, and as dealer in patent medicines and druggists sundries strictly by wholesale. This is the only house in New England This fact speaks volumes for the enterprise of it's projector, and is alike credit to our business interests New York and Boston are brought together here, and the druggists of Connecticut can be sup piled from this source at the same rates as from eithefof the others. The house IS the headquarters and special agents of nearly every prominent patent medicine proprietor in the United States, and their line of drug gists' sundries embraces almost everything possible. We wish the house success, for they deserve it.

The Returns Encouraging to the
 Republicans.
A Light Vote and Large MajOri-
 ity for the Amendment.

The ''little town meetings" were held yes- terday in this State. In presidential year the results of these meetings have more po- litical significance than in other years, as there is a struggle between the parties to gain control of the boards of selectmen. It has been believed that the Democrats were mak- ing an unusual effort this year in order to show ''great gains'' and help along the Hancock boom'' There is not much in the returns given below to encourage them, as they show Republican gains. The amend ment to the Constitution giving the Govern or power to nominate the judges of the Su- preme and Superior courts has received a large majority of the votes reported.
