Postoffce Robbery Excitement.

Near Danbury on Thursday two men were seen going along the road in hot haste, and not long afterwards came posse also in hurry and asked for the first two, who they said had robbed the postofice. Presently they returned with the men tied together, and there was much excitement among the farming community of the middle district. There reporter of the Danbury News heard something about it and went to work. The result is long article in the News, which concludes as follows: "A party of carpen- ters at work in the western part of the viI- lage evolved walking match A wager was laid that one of two would outwalk the other in round trip to the Middle river district school house. The contestants started out. Shortly after their fellow work men followed after to see how the contest ants were doing. Seeing the curiosity they excited on the way they took advantage of it to work up a sensation. Hence the postof6ce robbery story. It was 8 very funny idea
 perhaps, but our reporter and the Middle River district people don't look at it in that light. We understand that the aged farmer who gave the pursuers the information of the robbers came into the village this morning and traded off load of hay for a double barreled shotgun and four quarts of shot"

 The peace convention at Mystic closed Fri day. Mrs Washburne, of Philadelphia, and Edwin H. Coates were the first speakers
 Mrs. Washburne submitted resolution ex- empting persons of conscientious scruples from military duty or military taxes J. M
 Washburne said in Indiana such compulsion was never submitted to. He thought it wrong to take an oath to support the consti- tuition before voting. Hamilton Wilcox was surprised that such an oath was required in
 Connecticut. It was not so in New
 York Thomas Greenman was opposed
 to the Connecticut military system. In time of peace it was waste of resources, and
 in case of an uprising no one could tell on which side the militia would be. In the country the militia is of no use as it could
 not be controlled. Mrs. Deyo moved for an unconditional abolition of the military sys- tenn of the State. Ida W. Benham spoke in favor of the abolition of the death penalty and offered resolution. Resolutions were adopted as follows: That this convention Be- quests the Connecticut Peace society to peti- ton the Connecticut legislature that the laws be so amended that all persons who are con scientiously opposed to military taxes or mil itary duty be exempt; also that the whole mil itary system of Connecticut, being disadvan- tage, an expense, ininica1 to peace and anti Christian, be internationally abolished and court of arbitration established also for the repeal of the law providing for capital punishment; also that the thanks of the civil ized world are due to Gladstone for his eff forts to avoid additional bloodshed in Egypt; ! also that any attempt to acquire additional territory to the United States by armed force | deserves the severest reproduction; also pro- testing against the dynamite policy and coun- selling all friends of good cause in Ireland or elsewhere not to use violent threats o1 ] carna1 weapons, they delay and prevent l success. Then the convention adjourned.

A distinguished surgeon in the u. 5.
Navy writei as follows to his brother,
prominent citizen of our county, under
date Of Rutbengeu Germany Sept ID.
81 have heard it often said that a family
in Germany would live on what an Aneri-
can family wastes, but could not believe
it true, am now prepared to testify to it
and 20 further and say that many noble
families live on what many an American
laborer wastes. have never seen poo-
pie live on so simple dish and 50 little Of
it, practically they have but one meal a
day, at or about noon.
The working classes here have meat but
once a week, Sundays-their diet consists
of coffee, bread and potatoes.
do not believe a German laborer knows
or ever will know while lie remains in
Germany what the sensation Of a com
plete satisfaction of the appetite Is. The
principle he Operates on is ncr0 to satisfy
bis appetite and to eat Just az little as
possible and thus try to increase his stock
Of mealy goods"
A lady friend of ours who lived eighteen
years iu Germany and became thoroughly
familiar with the habits of the people,
said on hearing this letter quoted at don't
tell half the truth. Only the most favored
labo1ers have meat once a week then they
boil it into very weak soup which is
only greasy water which they
swallow at intervals during the week,
the concentrated strength Of their coffee
for two weeks would not satisfy an
American laborers family for one break
fast"
Workingmen of Shenandoah do yon
want to fatten your families on such a
diet II You do, the road is before you
the gate wide open-yote for the free
trade democracy, vote for Cleveland
But il You want to see American laborers
well fed, well clothed, we'll housed, you
want to elevate to educate, to dignity, TO
enoble American labor, ifyou want to
encourage American industries, if You
want to provide home markets for Ameri-
can farmers, free schooles for American
children, vote foe Blaine and Logan and
Gods blessing and this worlds prosperity
viii follow you.
