Our New Hartford Better.

Ed Ne1cs:-It has occurred to us that a town of the size of New Hartford shonld have correspondent for the wide-awake CONN. WESTERN NEWS.
 As the Conn. Western railroad, under the management of John F. Jones, con- veys many passengers swiftly and safely through 8 delightful country, so the COIN. WESTERN NEWS carries many through the pleasant chat of local news, as well as through spicy editorials.
 The distant murmuring of the presi. dential and state campaigns are only made more dreadful by the already breaking storm of town election. Like French man-of-war, all desire to be officers. The present management of town affairs are in good hands and we expect the result of Mondays election will say Amen to this sentiment. We have not been favored by visit from James G. or Grover c. and thank for tune the political bummers have not haryangued the good people of New Hartford. Let the campaign here be earnest without the usual accompani- ment of torch light procossions, drunk eness, etc.
 In educational matters tho clouds have hung over us for years, just con tinuous drizzle, but just at present the signs are favorable for sufficient show CT of denunciation of the old Academy
