" We cannot have too many papers OF
this class" The New England Journal
Of EtiucHiop says: Has gained the re-

TIE plan of getting water supply for
this village from Roaring brook appears
to meet with favor. No better scheme
has been suggested that we know of, and
perhaps none more feasible could be.
We have no doubt but that something
will speedily be done. We hope Mr.. b.
G. Nortbrup. whose lecture is announc-
ed elsewhere, will have large audience.
lie has devoted much time and attention
to the subject upon which he is to speak.
He considers village improvements with
reference both to beauty and utility, the
latter including sanitation.

TUESDAY was a day of numerous cleo
tions. Connecticut chose half its Senate
and House of Representatives Mary
land Massachusetts and Minnesota, State
officers; Mississippi. a Legislature;
Nebraska. a justice of the Supreme court
and regents of the State university; New
Jersey, governor, part of It's Senate and
a House of Representatives; New York,
secretary of State, comptroller, treasur-
er, attorney general, engineer and sur
veyor and branches of the Legislature !;
Pennsylvania, auditor-general and State
treasurer; Virginia, part of its Senate
and a full Assembly.
Massachusetts elected Geo. ID. Robinson,
the Republican candidate. governor with
plurality of 10000. Every decent man
in that State doubtless contributed to
Buffers defeat, and rejOices over the re-
suit. Even the Democratic Boston Post
SAYS: Butler has led the Democrats of
Massachusetts into trouble, but he can
not help them out. We trust they are
manly enough and far-seeing enough to
help themselves. They were never in
the debt of this man. They have heaped
honors upon him that he will never re-
pay. So far as the result is condelnna-
ton of Butlerism our resignation is pro-
found and consummate. He can still
make trouble in the Democratic family
no doubt, but he cannot enter upon his
cherished scheme of Tammanyzing the
country with the prestige of Massachu-
sets behind him. This should be a great
consolation to many in an hour of SEEM
ing trial, for probably in all the history
of parties there did never one sustain a
more blessed defeat than this
In Maryland The election of the Demo-
cratic State ticket is assured. McLane,
Democrat, for governor, has $4,000 ma
jority. The Democrats have a majority
of 81 in the Legislature on Joint ballot.
In Connecticut the Republicans achiev-
ed success, electing five out of the
eight sheriils chosen. They have a ma
jority of 40 in the Legislature.

ALTOGETHER more rum is sold and
drank in Middlebury than there should
be. The traffic is apparently on the
increase. Every few nights there are
drunken brawls on the streets; even in
the daytime men are to be seen staggering
about. This state of things cannot con-
tinue. Citizens who are not active tenn
perance workers are becoming alarmed !;
and, unless there is decided improve
ment soon, will institute proceedings
that will cost somebody trouble and
money. So long as intoXicants are made
they will probably be illegally sold to
some extent; but the dealers ought to
recognize that there is a limit to public
endurance.

endowed with disposition of II most pleasing
nature. Although she was but just emerging
from the age of childhood, she was largely en-
lowed with those desirable and p leasing charac.
teristics that SO endear to purity. She was al
ways eiu other associatesye treating all with
whom she come in contact with proper consider
alton and respect, which made her Il fayoritc
among all her acquaintances. Although nature
had made her beautiful. she never let her natur-
al adornments make her vain and proud. Her
happiness seemed to be- at her own home in pa
tently ministering 10 the wants OF the members
of the family. She was of a studious nature, and
had passed through all the grades OF our mos
excellent Graded school and was fully prepared
as teacher, anu had taught one or two terms
with marked success. She was looking forward
to "a successful career of usefulness, when Death,
who chooses shining mark. cut her down in her
earl, youth. as The untimely frost cuts down the
most beautiful and delicate flowers.

Are there bright and golden sunsets?
Are there flowers everywhere?
Have you seen the great Creator?

With your head upon his bosom,
Have YOU seen Him face to face?
We would not recall you, darling,
From that glorious world OF light;
But. sweet Eva. when you're near us,
Whispering tell lie in your flight,
Are the fields with lilies laden?
Are the roses decked with dew?
Is the sun forever shining?
