clans, without exception, will vouch.
We allude to them not as blaming any
one, but to show the real state of the
case.
1t is, we believe, safe to say that good
drainage cannot be had without water
supply. Sewers might be built, but
they would soon fill up with filth, and
then we should be no better off than now.
If once we had water, to cleanse the
sewers, then these could be constructed
and healthful village would result.
For the existing condition of things no
one is responsible. AS it is here, SO it is
in the majority of small villages through
out the country. What might be the most
healthy places of residence in the land
are the most unhealthy-and that because
of poor drainage.
This is but one aspect of the question.
The source of the supply-whether it
shall be pumped from the creek or
brought from Lake Dunmore or the
mountains; the extent of the works !;
how the cost shall be defrayed; what the
income would be these and numberless
other things must be taken into account
before decisive action. The point we
have tried to make clear is that if we
would have a healthy village, we must
have water supply to keep it clean.
In future articles we shall endeavor to
give such facts and opinions as can be had
upon the other phases of the discussion.

provided they are brief.

Sts MiSStebAry Reslster,
Two Papers for the Price Of One,

Good Cheer is handsomely printed
monthly model family paper of 16 pages.
1t is full of bright things, suited to the
tastes of old and young; not sensational,
but interesting and instructive. 1t is
carefully edited, and has among its con-
tributors some of the best writer's of the
country. Only the best literature is con-
tanned within its pages. The New York
Christian Adoocdte says: Helpful to
the best interests of families and by far
the best periodical of its class we have
yet seem" The Christian Union says:
1--WE cannot have too many papers of
this class" The New England Journal
OF Education says: HAS gained the re-
spect and affection of every community
into which it has been introduced" "
We have made arrangements by which
our readers can have this paper. After
October | all old subscribers who pay
up arrearages and one year in advance
will receive Good Cheer one year, free; all
new subscribers paying one year in adj
vance will receive Good Cheer on similar
terms, and all who have already paid to
October 1, 1884, can have Good Cheer
one year on notifying us that they are
entitled to it. This offer is made to in
duce prompt payment on the part of our
old friends and to add new names to our
increasing list. We think our friends
will appreciate the liberality of this offe,
and do what they can to aid us. Speci-
men copies of Good Cheer will be sent

THE NEED OF WATER SUPPLY for
this village is becoming more and more
apparent. Many good citizens are of the
opinion that the time has arrived when
measures should at once be taken to
provide such supply. The main consid-
Grafton urged is the health of our peoDle.
There are of course other valid reasons,
any one of which would be sufficient to
warrant the expenditure; but it seems to
Us this one of health merits chief atten-
ton.
1t is well known to the physicians that
typhoid fever, and kindred diseases caus-

prevalent among us, OF typhoid fever,
there have been quite a number of cases
this season; and in years past it has often
appeared, Almost every part of the vii
lage has been visited. The families of
the well-to-do and of the poor have alike
suffered. In nearly all instances the ORR
gin of the disease could easily be traced
to Il defective drain, an open cess-pool or
a stagnant sewer. In some portions of
the village sewage runs in open bitches,
exposed to the sun and sending out Odors,
not only unpleasant, but full of danger to
the residents of the vicinity; in other
sections the house drains lead behind the
houses, and cess-pools, equally as noxious
as the bitches, are formed. The drainage
arrangements are sometimes as bad as
they possibly can be, while they are
nowhere perfect. These are undeniable
facts, for the truth of which our physi

TIE political interest of the week has
conferred in Tuesdays elections in Ohio
and Iowa. Ohio voted for State officers
and a Legislature, and also upon three
amendments to the constitution. In Iowa
State officers and a Congressman in the
sixth district were chosen. The returns
indicate that Hoadley, Democrat, is elect
ed governor of Ohio1by 10000 to $4,000
majority. Iowa elects the Republican
State ticket by $4,000 to $4,000 majority.
The result in the Congressional district
is in doubt, with the probabilities in ia
vor of the choice of Cook, Fusionist.

THE PRESS of the country has been
busy the past week discussing a remark
made by Senator Edmunds at the general
convention of the Episcopal church in
Philadelphia. On being nominated for
chairman of that body he said: Mr..
President as l am not to-day, or any
other day, running for President of any
sort or anything, | must positively de-
cline to have my name go before this
house for such position" Doubtless
more Importance is attached to this
utterance than should be. Mr.. Edmunds
has never been accused of presidential
ambition; but if he were nominated, he
might not, after all, refuse to run.
