Last Wednesday the Congregational church and society met and extended call to the Rev MT Goddard of Chicago, who has been occupying the pulpit for the month past.
 About o'clock last Monday morning the through freight train struck W. E. Pettee's COW, killing her instantly and throwing two cars and the tender off the track down an embankment about 20 feet. This occurred only few rods east of the depot and at the time it was so foggy the engineer could hardly sec 8 car length ahead. Fortunately no one was hurt and the track was cleared bare ly in time for the 9:37 passenger train

 Quite brilliant company assembled at the house of ex-Gov Holley on the evening of August 12, it being his SOth birthday. There were about 100 pres ent; many of them like the governor of Eve olden time" and to such who could look back for nearly century the rem iniscences were sad and pleasing. The governor, who is now hale and hearty, was declared by many old friends to be younger than he was 10 years ago, and his quick step, as he glided among the throng receiving their congratulations, went far to prove the truth of the re- mark. His brother, Mir George Holley, from Niagara, 75 years old and the three sisters were also present, aggregating in all about 37O years. All present expressed great pleasure with the happy evening they had enjoyed, and well they might, for who knows better how to dispense hospitality than Mrs Holley

THE TARIFF THE GREAT ISSUE
A Democratic Free Trader who wants
 am Aggressive Campaign.
(PLiIadelpLia Record. 4ua. 10,


 The political literature of most value | and of most interest to the people in the l present campaign is contained in the speeches of the democrats of the house in the last session of Congress in favor of tariff reform. In the speeches of Messrs Hewitt, Hurd, Morrison, Cox, Springer, Dorsheimer, Mills and others, the necessity of reducing the enormous burdens of taxation was presented in every aspect. Every argument and every fallacy that has been used in behalf of the present tariff system was met and completely answered. Since the begin ming of the government there has not been so able and exhaustive discussion of the protective policy and of its mis- chievous effects upon the industry md trade of the country.
 But the imbeciles who control the Democratic national and Congressional comittees deliberately ignore the ques- ton that most highly concerns the peo- pie. The Barnums and Germans who manage the campaign in behalf of the great Democratic organization have put the able speeches in Congress for tariff reduction in their index as dangerous literature. As the henefciaries or tools of tariff monopoly, they are anxious to evade the only issue upon which the Democratic party can succeed in the present contest.
 Victory is not to be wrested by the housing methods of the National and Congressional committees. It can be won only by bold and manly appeal to the good sense and intelligence of tho people of Pennsylvania. The Demo- cratic platform upon which Cleveland and Hendricks stand declares against the unnecessary apd unjust exaetions of the present tariff, and solemnly promises that taxes shall be reduced to the lowest limit consistent with the re- quirements of the government and the faith of the nation It declares further that the tariff must be reformed by re- moving the duties upon the raw materi- als of manufactures and by making the taxes bear lightest on arti- cles of necessity. This is the only practical issue upon which the democrats>ean carry Pennsylvania. If those who are intrusted with the official management of the campaign refuse to go before the people on this question, the contest in behalf of tariff reform must be made without them. The friends of tho cause, democrats and re- publicans, should organize in every county in the state, without regard tc the committee management that seeks to ignore the issue. They should dis tribute documents and none can bt found more instructive aud more re plete with facts ill regard to the iuiqui ties of the tariff than the speeches o the democratic members in the last ses sion of congress. Not only should thes speeches be spread broadcast owe Pennsylvania, but meetings should b held in every town and township of tn state to disucss the question. This vii i: be attended with labor and expense, ,bu the cause is far more worthy of the ei 9 forts of the best citizens than a cam paign for no better object than ne' distribution of the offices and spoils C . government. There Is time yet to mak V a successful and glorious campaign.

Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those who use baking powders that they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste follows the use of all impure baking powders, and is caused either by their containing alum Introduced to make a cheap article), by the impure and adul- terated character of other ingredients used, or from the ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper methods of combining them. These baking pow ders leave in the bread a residuum form ed of lime, earth, alum or other deleter- ious matters, not always, though ire quently, tastable in the food, and by all physicians classed as injurious to health. The Royal baking powder is free from this ser1ous defect. In its use no resid- uum is left, and the loaf raised by 1t is always sweet, light and wholesome, and noticeably free from the peculiar taste complained of. The reason of this is because it is composed of nothing but absolutely pure materials, scientifically combined in exactly the proper propor- tions of acid and allSah to act upon and destroy each other, while producing the largest amount of raising power. We are justified in this assertion from the unqualified statements made by the government chemists, who after thor ough and exhaustive tests recommend ed the Royal" for governmental use because of it's superiority over all others in purity, strength and wholesomeness. There is no danger of bitter bread o1 biscuit where it alone is used.

call on them and sec how happy and contented its possible to become; you will soon catch the inspiration and for get your troubles This inspiration | does not come from ''the flowing bowP' either, but is the natural consequence where persons of their lively and cheer ful disposition meet. Mrs Adam al- ways looks on the bright side of life; for her there is ''silvery lining to every cloud;" she always appears happy and has an inexhaustible stock of wit and humor, which enlivens every com pany which she favors with her pres ence.
 Next in order came ''Camp Lux" the camp of Prof s. A. Weaver, wife and daughter and MT F. Widmer and Miss Marie Widmer, all of New Hartford. They had been there II days and were to return home next day. The Prof and MT Widmer had fished to their hearts content and some days had splendid luck. Prof made the old woods resound with song and one morning a noted snipe hunter shot little red squirrel near the Prof's tent about 5 o'clock in the morning. This awoke the Prof and pleased (?) him so much that he gave free display of chim mu- sic.
 "Camp Comfort comes next and 1t is rightly named. The party consists of Messrs Frank Camp of Great Bar rington and George Abbott of Housa- tonic, with number of their friends. They have several tents and every ac- commodation, even have colored man to do their cooking.
 In the grove west of the pavilion are five camps, viz
 1.-The four stalwart brothers, W. O., c. B., Lee M. and Fred F. Johnson of
 Newtown, Conn.,, Fred B. Lake and
 John L. Tomlinson of Newtown and
 John Hubbard of Meriden.
 2.-Messrs F. B. Young, W. l.. Brown,
 E. D. Benedict and G. B. Gardner, all
 of Canaan.
 3.-L. F. Bronson and family and
 number ot friends, all of East Canaan IA company from Hartford. 5.-A company from Winsted. In Gardner's grove on the north shore ! of the lake were four camps:- 1.-Charles Marvin and wife and l number of friends, all from Sharon. 2.-Prof Hurlburt and friends from Lime Rock.
 3.-A company from Millerton, N. Y } "A company from Red Hook, N. Y The H. & c. w. railroad, we nigh say, brings Twin Lakes to our yer.

Although r Twin Lakes is flag station yet nearl. : every train will stop there if signalled , therefore many people who cannot spen' l time to camp there manage to mak t time in some way and enjoy days rec . reation at these beautiful lakes.

We have received for publication a letter from resident of southern New Marlboro. He expresses the sentiment of that community and graphically pie lures the wickedness, the suffering and misery caused during the past 25 years, by rum selling at Canaan Valley. He alludes to the many times that the rum seller had been besought with prayers and tears to abandon the business, but all in vain. Southern New Marlboro unites with Canaan Valley in rejoicing over the suppression of rum selling at George Thompson's, and approves the sentence of the court. We think it un- necessary to publish the letter, but there is no mistaking the sentiment of that community.-Ed. Neacs.

CORN VAIL.

The cavalry company paraded in this village on Saturday of last week. They made very fine appearance and our citizens turned out in large numbers to see them, and are all full confident that if a foreign foe should place his foot upon our sacred soil we should be pro- tected from all harm. The Cornwall cornet band furnished the music and were spoken very highly of by all present.
 Some of the farmers who have finish ed having, pron ounce it very light crop. Tobacco Is looking we'll
 The new school house is nearly ready for the masons. It is fine building and an ornament to the village.
 Over 50 boarders are stopping at the Beers house. They are a very quiet set,-that is, for city boarders.
 For some time the merchants at the emporium have looked with fear and surprise at the growing popularity ol their young rival across the street. Ii was apparent that something was vel lacking to make their store complete They kept in stock everything that was sold in the new store las they thought, but still people would go there to trade and it became apparent that something must be done to stem the tide. They have finally hit it. It was the peanut for next to a herring there is nothing that suits Cornwall mans taste like tht peanut. A supply was at once ordered and we expect the trade will once more be turned into the old channel.

What Others Say About It.

The Winsted Herald says: "The se- verest penalty inflicted upon any violat- CT of the license law which has come to our notice is that upon George Thompson, 8 notorious violater of the law at Canaan Valley. The people of the town, without regard to political lines, made up their mind to put stop to his illegal liquor selling. He persisted in defying the law and has been many times in limbo. Prosecuting Agent Wellington B. Smith undertook him again recently and the result is that Justice Bennett fined him to the extent of the law and sent him to iaii for sixty days on each of twenty two indictments, making Q term of A. months. Thompson's lawyer declined to appeal from the justices decision that the expense of the case may be thrown upon the town, thereby making liquor prosecutions odious with tax-pay- CTS. We mistake the sentiment of the people of North Canaan if they can be driven from their staunch fight against rum selling by such tactics"
 The Winsted Press says "George Thompson of East Canaan, rum seller of bad repute, has been prosecuted by Agent Smith of this village until at last he finds himself in jail under sentence to paYa fine and serve sixty days fol each of twenty-two indictments for sell ing liquor without license. The sen tence will keep him imprisoned the greater part of four years, but his attor ney declined to appeal from the decision of the justice court, alleging as his req son that he wished to throw the expens es upon the town"
