 gold headed cane voted to the Re-
 publican candidate for the Presi-
 dency ny 1,60O majority at fair of
 Nestport Catholic church.
 Shortly after Father Carlcy's de-
 parture a delegation of Methodist
 cIergymen, nun bering ninety, paid
 their respects to MT. Blaine. They
 represented the churches in this city,
 Brooklyn, Jersey City, Newark, N.
 J., and Connecticut. The reverend
 gentlemen were introduced by Dr.

The deis egation was headed by Henry Clews, Cornelius N. Bliss and the Rev. Dr. Armitage. Charles S. Smith read the address on behalf of the conn mittee. It sald in part: I've clam to be body who ask not for our selves and only seek a good gov ernment and wise policy I am di- rected by my friends, who surround 1 me, and il is their most emphatic conviction that the question of ques- tions to be decided in the coming presidential election and which dom 1 mates over all others IS this: "Shall l the American idea of tariff for the | protection of American labor and | be maintained as a settled | policY?" We, sir, utterly repudiate the un>American and Democratic 1 doctrine of a tariff for revenue only We claim this is the only question worthy of discussion. We pledge you, sir, hearty support of the majority of this club, md if there should be small refne lant of minority of our members who may desire to desert their arty on election day, It will be because hey love free trade" Blaine res ponded appropriately.

As Mr.. A. Z. Googns was returning from
Gardiner on Thursday evening. when near
the residence of Rev. Mr.. Powers, cat
sprang out of the bushes, frightening the
horse, which jumped to one side, throwing
Mr.. G. from the carriage. The horse freed
himself from his driver and ran, and was
found uninJured near the house of Rev. Mr.
Cunningham, West Litchfield. where he was
cared for. MIR. Googins fortunately escaped
with slight injuries.-The farm buildings of
Mr., John G Rowe came very near being
burned on Sunday morning, the 9th inst.
Saturday morning, took up the ashes in tin
pail, the bottom of which had been worn out
and replaced with a wooden one, Intending to
deposit them in the brick ash bin. But some
duty requiring his attention he sat the pail on
the floor of the wood-shcd, when it was for
gotten. About 5 o'clock Sunday morning.
"a hours after. his attention was ar
rested by a bright light shining into
his bedroom. He Immediately made an
investigation and found his wood-shed in q
blaze; he raised an alarm and with the help
of the members of the family succeeded in
subduing the flame without serious damage
resulting. 1t appears that there was sufficient
fire in the ashes to ignite the wood bottom of
the pail, which burned slowly and set fire to
the floor below, burning through it, and from
thence to the walls of the building Mr.
John ID. Smith. q Litchfeld boy, now connect
ed with the Department of the Interior, is
