signed Mary Clemmer, has had a revelation,
that the small part of the world embraced in the
Republican Party, in the formation of their
ticket had the assistance of the heads of the
kingdom OF light and darkness, viz. God and
the Devil. A seeker after truth would en-
quire, if said lady has had revelation in, re-
gard to the ticket nominated by that larger
portion, to wit the Democratic Party, or do
they propose to ignore the aid and efforts of
both personages and run the machine on their
own hook. We wait response.

to know that Messrs. q. w. Lewis & Co., of
Philadelphia, have in contemplation the pre-
paration of an illustrated history of Litchfeld
County, provided sufficient encouragement is
obtained for the prosecution of the work. The
plan will embrace q description of the general
historical events pertaining to the territory
within the limits of the county, from the ear
Hest time to the present; also, geographical,
typographical and geological data, with des-
criptiens of streams, lakes, mountains, and
points of especial interest. There will also be
given as full lists as can be obtained of those
in this county, who took part in the revolu-
tionary war, in the war of 1912, and a history
of the various regiments and organizations en-
listed from Litchfield County during the war
of the rebellion. with many matters of inter-
est connected Herewith: In addition to this
the work will embrace lists of county officials
and correct statement of the organization OF
the county government.
A history of each town in the county will
follow. with local events of importance per-
tanning to each, and lists of town officers,
names of first settlers, and incidents of inter-
est, description of its schools, churches, and
in fact everything that will tend to place be-
fore its citizens q record Of their towns, relia-
BILE and complete. The work will be done by
experienced and competent writers, assisted
by the best local talent which Can be secured,

of an attractive and superior character, while
the testimonials of their value from eminent
men are abundant and satisfactory. The work
will be issued from the press of J. B. Lippen-
colt & Co., which is sufficient guarantee of
its beauty of execution. This is labor in
which the intelligent public should be largely
interested, and to which it should grant cor
dial support. Many persons who would not
deem themselves justified in purchasing an
ordinary work, will find an ample reason in
taking this when they reflect, that it is only
by the aid of those who live in this county,

when Mr.. aBarnuma was here few weeks

PRESENCE In the city, fbut spent the major part
OF his valuable time with MIR. English, at the
iatter;s castle on the Circle consulting, pre-
sdmably, upon the market price of mules At
this the late lamented Hendricks waxed wroth
and Immediately wrote to the party leaders in
the East that, If he were to be thus ruthlessly
snubbed, in addition to the other iudignities
already heaped upon him. he would withdraw
from the canvass altogether and allow the
party to take care of itself At this the man

purchaser or the committee called upon the
injured statesman Immediately upon arrival in
the city. Their differences were soon AMIGA

order to show the public that everything was
