 The covered bridge crossing the Housatonic r1ver here was built over 40 years ago, and the travelling public have until few nights since got along with out light being placed in the bridge, but through the enterprise of few per sons, lamp has been purchased and placed in the center of the bridge, and on dark nights 1t renders it safe, both for pedestrians and teams in crossing. The expense is nominal.
 The farmers have nearly finished thei1 fall work, and find all crops good aver. age of former years. The early frost killed most of the fruit in the valley, but east and west of us bountiful sup. ply is being gathered and sold at reason able prices.
 The grounds of the Catholic church have been greatly beautifed lately by grading; also building new fence and fine sidewalk. Father Sheriden has shown good judgment and taste in ar ranging the work, which is highly com. mendable, both to him and his parishion, CTS, making now as fine grounds and as pleasant situation for a church as any in the county.
 Politics are very quiet in town can didates for the legislature are not as numerous as in former years, but we shall be able to find some one who will accept, and as we have plenty of good men, none need fear of bad Legislation from here, for the financial affairs of oul town show good management, and the oppression of heavy taxes and indebted ness we are free from.

A GOOD THME COMING.

ONLY seven days more of the political campaign then business will be attend ed to once more. Old friends of oppo- site political opinions will shake hands again and during the long evenings will visit each other, play checkers or cards, eat apples, walnuts, mince pie, smoke the pipe of peace and very likely drink hard cider together and wonder how they could have allowed themselves to get so wrought up about politics.
 A political campaign temporarily de- moralizes business for not only manu- lecturers, merchants, bankers, mine owners, farmers and business men gen. erally are drawn into the struggle, but the ministers, lawyers and doctors leap into the arena and pummel each other, and the editors burn the midnight oil searching the genealogy of the different candidates to see whether they are de- scended from Shem, Ham or Japheth.
 "There is no great loss without some small gain,' for while the doctors are attending to politics their patients are liable to recover. Only few lawsuits are started and the poor debtor, is un- molested, while the attorney is stump ing the state. The poor sinners are giv- en rest and the lukewarm church members are not obliged to attend pray CT meeting, while the minister is out of town making political speech. While the editors are abusing each other or are trying to whitewash the1r fayorite candidate, or throw mud at his oppo- nent, 8 portion of the public who think that an editor has an easy task, feel as- sured that for the time being he Is earn ing his money and is receiving his share of the kicks, medicine and advice which he is always ready to give others.
 Politics have become so corrupt the people dread campaign and the fact that many states now have only biennial sessions of the legislature, proves that the American people are getting dis gusted with repeated elections and think the country would be better of if less attention was paid to politics and more attention paid to legitimate busi- ness.
 'In our grandfathers' days when man ran
 for office,
 He did it alone for the national good,
 And not fer the dollars and cents in his pock-
 ct;
 That's something that nowadays aint under
 stood.
 For long time the politicians have had the people by the throat, but it is high time the people took the politicians by the throat.

A sad and fatal accident has occurred here that causes thrill of horror to the entire community. Mir Edmund Mills was struck and killed by the early train Monday morning. He was crossing the track near the furnace when the train whistled and appeared in sight. Some one called to him to stop, but too late; the horse got across uninjured but the wagon was struck, throwing MT Mills a distance of nearly 100 feet. Capt Mills was lifelong resident of Kent, most worthy man respected by all. His loss will be deeply felt, not only by those near and dear to him, but by the many with whom he associated in society, and also by the church of which he was an active member The funeral takes place at the Congregational church, Wednes- day, October 29, at ? o'clock P. NJ. On ly few months since a man, MT Line burgh, was killed by the cars at nearly the same place. And since then Daniel Crowley was drowned in the river only few rods from the spot. Truly that particular place has been the scene of | fatal events.

 Prof Frost has occupied the pulpit for the past two Sabbaths. The wick edest man in town (so he says) was in- duced to come to church, but declares he will do so no more unless our newly elected town father removes those stones from in front of the church so that one can drive across the street without breaking their wagon.
 The Housatonic Valley institute has 27 pupils. The only apparent differ ence as yet is that the institute scholars wear their store clothes every day. We suppose the true inward improvement we shall see later.
 Politics are very quiet in this part oi the town; no rally, no flag, but when the man comes around with the ''soap' then see if we dou't wake up. It is rather dry for the St. John men, but they don't change their views of the ''plumed knight" just the same

EDHFYING PARALLELS.

'sA certain man had two kennels of animals he called dogs-eleven in one kennel and eighteen in another-but among the eighteen was one pole cat; and neighbor was charged with giving loose rein to his prejudice when he thought the eleven more desirable than the eighteen. ."-Cdndan cor. in Berk- shire Courier.
 If the neighbor recognized several of his own productions among the eigh- teen notices and correctly named one of them, then certainly he ought not to be charged with giving loose rein to his prejudice in thinking the eleven more desirable than the eighteen, but if he stirs up the eleven it may possibly have a "deplorable effect" on his impartial judgment" concerning them.
 ''Our local paper may not publish this week an account of the organization of Mutual Admiration society, said to hold its meetings around the stove in one of the stores. It is said that from the pinnacles of purity on which they stand, the members can find nothing else to admire this year." ''Thank goodness, there are twelve men in town whose impartial judgement is not un- balanced by their unbounded political zeal. '"-Cdndan cor. iR BerkShire Coe1- fer.
 Goodness deserves thanks. Had ten righteous men been found in the origi nal Sodom that great city would mol have been destroyed. A portion ot North Canaan is called Sodom. ''Thanl goodness there are twelve, and more than twelve, good men in town who are said to be standing on ''pinnacles O. purity" therefore for their sakes we trust the town may be saved and also spared an Egyptian plague of bols an6 plains.

 Politics being at low ebb in this place some few went to Sheffield, Friday night, also to Ct Burlington, Saturday night, to get.their spiritual strength renewed in the matter. The booming of the big guns did not spoil the relish for such things, and probably did not change minds very much.
