November IT and yet the temperature is more like the 17th of September. We all enjoy this but in different ways The farmer that spent October going to cat tie shows can spend November husking corn and pulling turnips, while the sportsman enjoys this weather with rod or gun as his inclinations may lead. J. Earle Duley of Hartford is giving to Winsted lake an enviable reputation as bass and salmon lake. November 1 he hooked two black bass at once on the same 8 OF rod, one weighed 42 and the other B pounds. Beat that ye sports men. Len Gillette and John Woodruff of the N. H. x N. R. R. have brought in some fine strings of game within the past few weeks, so you see some farm CTS are still left who are willing to have the hunter on their land. We see the New Hartford Tribune takes exception to our article, some weeks since, of the inconsistency of farmers in forbiding hunting and asking a bounty for foxes
 We still say that if they will not allow a peaceable hunter to trespass on their land, then let them suffer from foxes and not howl about a bounty. They will not hunt and will not let others hunt You've heard of the dog in the manager. We actually know ot one fur mer threatening to stone young ladies out of pasture for picking whortleber- ies and he would not pick them him. self but allowed them to rot by the bushel.
 Wednesday evening last was the time chosen by the Cleveland men for quiet expression of their thankfulness that Mulliganism is no more. Some houses were brilliantly illuminated and some others were dark. At some houses the blinds were up and at some they were down-symbolical of their feelings, we suppose. Business is brisk and we nev- CT saw the time in this town when it was very dull. Inconsistency shows its head even among mechanics, when they growl about the oppression of corporations and yet they receive from them the1r bread and butter, and generally enough and to spare. At least we suppose they earn a surplus, if we can judge from the large sums spent for lpxuries, say noth- ing of the large sums devoted to vice and intemperanee. New Hartford is Q good toBn-or would be if we could expunge some few dark blots on our social fabric. MEwsAw.

1AIden's Literary Revolution.

John B. Alden's Literary Revolu- tion,' though, possibly, not making so large noise" in the world as three years ago when its remarkable work was new to the public, is really making more substantial progress than ever be- fore. A noticeable item is the improv- ed quality of the books issued. Guizot's famous History of France" not sold till recently for much less than $50, is put forth in eight small octave volumes, ranking with the handsomest ever issued from American printing presses, includ- ing the 426 full page original llustra- tions, and is sold for S7. Rawlinson's | celebrated Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World is produced in elegant form, with all the maps and illustrations, reduced in price from SIS to S2.75. These are but representative of an immense list of standard works, ranging in price from two cents to near | ly $20, which are set forth in descrip- tive catalogue of 100 pages, and which IS sent free to every applicant It cer. tainly Is worth the cost of postal card to the publisher, JOHN B. ALDEN, 30; Pearl street, New York.

CLEVELAND ELECTED PRESIDENT

All parties now concede the election of Cleveland. The review of the fig ures of votes cast for electors in New York city was concluded Saturday and the official plurality for Gov Cleveland was declared to be 43,064.
 Cleveland has an average electoral plurality of 1O77 in the state.

Our reservoir just completed by Boss Hoag of Canaan is good one, and so far meets the approval of all concerned. Soon the water will be let on and we have every reason to believe an ample supply will be afforded, it being soft spring water good as anyone could ask for or expect to enjoy.

THE circulation of newspapers on the morning after election exceeded, in most cases anything before known in this country. Accepting the statement or affidavit of the publishers, which are probably reliable, we find that the New York Times on Wednesday morning printed and sold 40, ,167 papers, the New York Herald printed 190, 800, the New York World 223, ,6S0. the Boston Journal 14S, ,020, and the Boston Globe 121, ,4SO. The Boston Herald exceeded them all with total printed of 302, ,030. The Herald, however, cannot be fairly compared with some of the others, be- cause it printed different editions all through the day, and its figures are the sum of all its editions, while many of the papers printed only one or two edi- t:ons in the morning. The Tribune and Sun have not yet declared the number of papers printed on that day, but it was undoubtedly much larger than ever be- fore in their experience. This increase is not due to an increase in the reading population altogether, but partly to that, partly to the great interest in the result, and partly to the increased facil- ities for handling large editions and get ting them out into the surrounding country early enough to have the news fresh and purchasable. The newspaper making industry has made wonderful progress but its limits are constantly widening and it's boundaries are con. stantly being pushed back Waterbury A1nericda

 The notice of the death of Miss Kate Cowles excited deep regret among those who were acquainted with her in by gone years, and who appreciated the many excellencies of her character. It Is sad to think that name so widely known and highly esteemed as that of the Cowles family becoming extinct, as are so many of our New England family names that have been honored in the past.
 A few persons have somehow gained the impression that the family name oi Cowles has become extinct. This is 8 wrong impression. While we regret that name has become extinguished in Can aan, we are happy to state that there are quite a number who bear that hon ored name. Judge Walter Cowles, now living in New York city, is brother oI the late Catherine Cowles. He has two daughters, ladies highly esteemed. The four sons of the late Edward Cowles live at Rye, New York. They are all highly respected business men, two of then practicing law in New York city.-Ed NeuS.
