That Hired Man.

A good old Wethersfield fa. mer,
pestered by the lack of help, told his
son to slip down to New York and hire
n man. But before he started he eau
toned him to look out and not get
loaded down with dead-beat, adding:
"There are sharpers there who will
beat you if you give 'em half a chance.
You can tell one of them air beats as
far as you can see him. Hire some
good. lusty young fellow-a greenhorn
if you can-any one but a dead-beat-"
In couple of days the new man was at
work on the farm, and with a little
practice would have broken in all right,
but the old farmer, who was fretful and
impatient, disliked his ways, and so he
shipped him. The young man went
to a neighboring place and hired out,
and the old farmer started for Gotham
himself to get the right kind of hired
man. He came back with one last
Thursday, stopping in Hartford to buy
him some new clothes, the price OF
which was 10 be deducted from his
wages. The new help wanted some
pretty good clothes, and quieted the
old farmer by telling him he could take
the price out of the earliest earnings.
Friday morning he set him to work in
the garden in the rear of his barn. In
about an hour the old farmer went out
to see how he was getting along. He
found him lying on some hay on the
barn floor. "What is the matter?"
said the farmer.
"rm feeling bad-don't know what
ails me-"
"Do you ever drinkP,'' asked the
farmer.
"Yes, an s'pose that's what's the
matter. I've been drinking purity hard
of late"
"Why didn't you let me know itP''
said the other, "and would have fixed
you up sunthin'. I'm temperance

house for medicine. The old farmer
went in and made rum punch and
gave it to the fellow. This had an in

In few minutes he came out dressed
up in the new suit and started down the
road toward Middletown. much to the
old mans surprise. 'sWhere you go

answer, as the pedestrian struck five.

The old farmers feelings may be bet

twenty dollars worth of his clothes on
the road to New York, but at this mo-
ment his son came along, and, with q
twinkle in his starboard eye, quietly
said: Where's the hired man, father?"
The old man, with eye still on the re-
treating figure, pointed to him and an
swered: "There he isl Don't you see

added: But, my son, he would have

The Grimes Of a Day.

Seven wives were murdered by
their husbands in a single day recently.
In Michigan wife called in a police
man to protect her, whereupon the
husband shot her, the officer, and him.
self. At Ridgetown, Ont, a wealthy
farmer shot his wife as the climax of a
violent quarrel. In Illinois husband
committed murder and suicide because
he was not prosperous in business. In
Iowa a wife was stabbed to death by
her husband in consequence of her re-
fusal to provide him with whisky. At
Canton, Ohio. woman was shot in a
manner that indicated that the crime
1ad been perpetrated by burglars. but
it has transpired that her husband did
it. At Milford, La, negro woman
was poisoned, and at Adelphi, Tenn,
bride of a month was thrown over
precipice 1t is strange that none of
these wife-slayers was actuated by
iealousy.-M Y. San.

that the hill was moving and that in a

into all Fair Associations. Neither the
Wellington Agricultural Society nor the
citizens can afford to drop the Fairs and no.
longer be known as an Agricultural Society.
This Association has too good reputation
at home and abroad, to. drop the Fairs; this
Association has too beautiful grounds and
buildings therein to think of dropping the

in organizing the Society as far back as
1857 have the talent, the wealth, the mater
ial and the vim if they will, to push the
question until quotations or remarks of the
kind mentioned will not be heard. The
grand and magnificent display of goods
aud merchandise made in Merchants Hall
by some of the leading merchants of the
town is credit to any town and is seldom
seen at any exhibition in the State. Spec
ial mention may be made of the goods
exhibited by the firm of Baldwin, Laun-

the firm and to the Fair, wherever and by
whatever name known, notwithstanding
this firm is barred from making an exhibit
ton in neighboring town. Who can say
the Wellington Fairs ought TO be dropped ?
An earnest inyitation is given the citizens
OF Wellington and neighboring towns to as
sist in revising and making the premium
list nearer what it should be. A special
invitation is given the ladies to arrange
and prepare list of articles in domestic
and ornamental work and submit it to the
revising board at their meeting, and Floral
Hall may yet be considered too small for
the articles entered and placed on exhibi-
ton in that department. We shall be glad
to publish the names of the persons who
will assist in the undertaking of making
the 28tlr Annual Fair grand and magnif-
cent success. Who will try?
The Annual meeting for the election of
officers for the ensuing year will be held

THE managers of the New London Fair
declined or were unsble to furnish room
for Baldwin, Laundon, Windecker & Co.
to make display of goods on their grounds.
They must be hard up for room. 1t is
limited that they knowing the-fine display
made at our Fair by this firm were unwill-

London merchants knowing they would
sweep the board. There never was before
so fine an exhibition of merchandise on
our grounds and it was the chief attraction
and admiration of all.
