Bethel Is not behind other towns in smart
old men. He has the past winter been into
the wood lot and cut and prepared for the
stove twelve cords OF old growth hard
wood for his son, and an equal amount for
a sick neighbour, and he wishes II under

lican ticket since the organization of the
party.
Mr.. Benjamin Bryant, one Of the most
successful farmers in Bethel, informs me
that one pound OF Paris green mixed with
three hundred pounds of plaster two or
three weeks before 1t is used, is equal to
three pounds mixed in the ordinary way,
as Il is needed for use; and is much more
eiTectual in destroying the beetle.

THE CIRCUS.

People often speak of the advent OF a
circus as beneficial 10 city because II
brings in strangers and their money"
But il worked differently in Paterson, Nj,
last Friday, when 10000 factory hands
lost So, 200 in wages by their absence
from work. At silk mill employing 1000
hands only six were at work. The Adams
and Phoenix manufacturing company mills
shut down entirely; also the Barbour Flax
Spinning company. But one mill attempt
ed TO keep running, and that with inditer-
ent success. In the locomotive shops
about ten per cent OF the men were at
work, and at the great rolling mill only
eight per cent. The actual loss, therefore,
10 the working class in wages and outlay
in tickets was about $4,000. The manu-
facturers estimate their losses, wages of
oyerseers whose idleness was enforced,
loss through non-production, water-rent,
interest on capital, insurance, and so on,
as at least $4,000; grand total $4,000.
This is one dollar each for every man, wo-
man and child of the entire population.
Besides this,a great many ofthe workmen,
through drink and other causes became so
demorallzed that they did not work next
day, either.-PortldRd Advertiser.
The Advertiser writes as if that was
all there was TO be said about the matter.
But the circus is not an unmitigated evil.
Several thousand working people took a
days vacation in that city. No doubt
they needed the rest. They went to the
circus and took their children. Thus the
families had united day of pleasure,
and though they lost their wages and the
factories were closed, we guarantee that
the people were better off for the advent
of the circus. There is something in
this world besides wages Good health,
induced by rest and recreation is of more
value.

Many of the epitaphs are curious enough,

In the north part of the yard are inferred
many Hugenots, who fled to this country
to escape the prosecutions Of the weak

fanaticism.

Four DETECTIVES accompanied
President Arthur on the train which
carried him to Long Branch on Tues
day. He did not know them. and
probably was not aware OF their
presence. This is en- outgrOwth OF
the assassination of President Gar
field, and suggests Russianizing OF
America that is not pleasant to con-
template by the free citizens OF the
republic. When it gets to that pass
that any official may not freely and
fearlessIy mix with the people,
socially and officially, it is time for
serious alarm. Mr.. Arthur should
frown upon any such proceedings. no
matter what he may think of the
personal danger attending him. The
Presidents person should be pro.
tected, but let US continue to guard
| it by the love and respect which We
bear the Office and the insti-
tutions of government, rather than
By swords and bayonets. II We
shall do this our presidents, our in
stitutions and Our democracy will be
safe, but il We begin the practice Of
etanding guard owe. the chief magis'
trates, all will be in danger. 1t will
not be long before President, when
he steps outside his house, will &C.
tuslIy need a squad of soldiers with
loaded guns and fixed bayonets tc
surround him, and regiment will be
required when he goes on a journey.
When this phase OF Russian official
life is adopted here, may heaven
guard the Republic, for men will not
do it. The nearer we can all. from
President to pauper, keep ourselves
to simple republicsnism, the safer
will be the government ard the per-
sons of officials. There are not many
Guitteaus in the land, and the way
to keep their number down is to
adopt none of the European ideas
and fears in regard TO the persons of
rulers.
