Rockville, July 1, 1884.
 EDITOR PRESS The jury on the liquor case from Stafford Springs were not so ob- tuse as was represented in your last, but only differed on one count 10 to 2, and on the other Il to l, and finally agreed to convict Sullivan and release Merriman, as no evidence was given to prove that he had anything to do there except to attend to his pool table. But we are so btuse as to think that the leading business men of the Springs were more obtuse that the one or two iurymen, and even 1t was a general remark among them that If the Springs people wished Gas one of the learned coun- sel for the state remarked in his plea ssWe desire to shut up these places and have peace and quietness reign they, the business men of Stafford and vicinity, should have been present to lend their in- huence for peace and quietness, and show to the jury that they were for sustaining their worthy prosecuting agent in his en- deavors to enforce the law. Indeed, is it not the principal reason why prosecutions for illegal liquor selling are not more suc- cessful, because the officers are not sus- tained by the moral and financial assist ance of the influential men of 2 town :?
 TEMPERANCE.
 Surely our prosecuting agent has right to look for better backing, q better show of backing than he gets, though why our people should leave their bllsiness and go en masse to Holland to back case fully sustained by evidence we cannot see. Lii quor cases too often are more dependent upon the makeup of the jury than on the evidence given, and whilefit is considered the proper thing to impeash witness for the state in such cases, it is regarded as 8 work of superfuity to impeach the verac- ity of witness for the defense of a liquor seller, as such evidence, in most cases, would lose none of its weight by the process. As an attorney remarked at the trial in question, it is notorious that witnesses will lie in defense of liquor sellers. When 8 man on the stand contradicts statements that he has made or sscan't remember" things that it is apparent that he does re- member, the fact of perjury is so plain that legal proof of it could hardly make it plain

Hartford Tisles Since the game law put off the the shooting of woodcock until the first of October there does not seem to be much restraint upon the sportsmen. When the law was off in July there was some little regard for it, and it was seldom vi plated until the time was near at hand. Now it would seem that lawless sportsmen will bag woodcock whenever they see one, even in May or June. To shoot them when they gre mating and nesting is an act that no true sportsmen would permit or encourage killing old birds early in the season cuts off families of young ones, and will make these choice game birds scarce later in the season when so many enjoy the sport of bagging them. We are told that in some of our markets woodcock were for sale privately as early as the first of June and even earlier. aportgmen owe it to thalpselyea to proteat tie birds until the young are of 9 size to warrant their killing. It will be better all round,

Some days since, the democrats sent a committee, w. H. Barnum being mem- Der, to Tilden to urge him to reconsider his declination and allow the use of hia name gt Chisagp. He Was to be inform ed that his name would be brought for ward, and that he would undoubtedly be nominated with great unanimity. The ob- ject of the committee was wo-fold-frst, to obtain, if possible, an intimation that he would allow the use of his name, and secondly, to ascertain what he would do in case the convention paid no attention to his perslsting in his deelination and nominated him in spite of it, Nothing has been heard here as to the result by those who were parties to sending the committee, and there is great anxiety among them. Meantime it is clear that the 1ilden talk is daily growing stronger. - Wgshi2gegto29 coggesPoaaeaea,

Gently written said: "During the many years that
