SHARON.
rom Me Amenia Time,


 Our counsellor, William Baker, Esq, has returned and is at his office each day ready for business as in days of old. He received hearty welcome on his return. We notice that cane is his constant companion and little lameness he could not avoid.
 The tower is about complete, and only lacks a few finishing touches known only to the .workmen who are finishing the same. It is a monument of beauty as well as usefulness, and as the bell strikes the hour we may look at our clocks and watches and be safely governed thereby.
 Miss Ella o. Landon, youngest daugh- ter of Fitch Landon died at Sharon Val ley on Tuesday, November 10, and was buried on Thursday. She was a most lovely girl just budding into woman hood, and was beloved by parents, sis ters, brothers, friends and all who knew her. She loved her Saviour, was de- vouHChristian, and leaned upon the Mas ter's arm as he safely carried her over the river. To die was gain. Her Christian faith and example will long remain among Ils.

the ice dealers reap a harvest in the winter. In this park is to be erected one of the finest soldiers monuments in the land, the photographs of which can 110 feet high, surmounted by a figure called "The Angel of Peace" which is II feet high, making the whole height l21 feet. A great deal more could be said about this monument, but space will not permit. When this land was wanted for park it had to be purchas- ed of a Mir Stewart, who claimed 1t by possession, suppose. Here he lived for years in an old stone house and he built quite large boat some time since as he expected the world was to be deluged again, and he proposed to have his ark already to shove off in when it became too moist to remain in his elevated home. This boat, with the ruins of his former home, may now be seen in the center of the park. Anyone visiting New Haven should not miss going to East Rock park.
 Ex-Governor English's reception took place on tbis Wednesday evening and they wanted us to attend it very much(?), but we had to decline as it was neces- sary for us to be in Westville that even- ing; however, we had the honor of walk ing under the canopy which was stretch ed out from the ex-governor's residence over the sidewalk.
 We arrived at Westville just as the shades of night were falling fast, and not knowing where our friends resided, we inquired and were directed to ''take your first left, then two ups and one down, and the first house you come to is a barn and the next place is where you want to go to-" Anyway, we were so thick-headed that we became consider ably snarled up, but came out all right at last, but upon looking around the next day we discovered that Westville is a much larger place in the night than in the daytime.
 | 1uurSuay evening we uuu OuESelVeb III Ansonia and are made welcome by our friends, William Dayton and family, who in former years managed our hotel, then known as the Stevens House. If anyone wants to see real business here is the place to come. It is one continual bus tie from morn till night, and there are acres of manufactories here, all of which seem to be busy as bees. Here we find Dr W. c. Welch, who practised short time in Norfolk. He has been in An sonia about four years and has gained a host of friends there. He some days makes 30 calls besides large office prac- tice, and when we find that there are 15 doctors there his success seems almost phenomenal. We are indebted to the doctor, also to MT Dayton for fine ride and description of their town.
 Probably the reader is already wearied by this lengthy tale, so we will close by saying that we reached home after an absence of week, safe and sound, tired out, but more than satisfied with the trip, the incidents of which our memory will ever lovingly cluster around.

sunaay rralns and .Newspapcr.

At the Congregational conference in Danbury, November 11th, the commit tee appointed last year for that purpose made voluminous report in reference to Sunday trains. They recite the facts in reference to the hearing before the railroad commissioners and the legisla- tive committee, and point to the amount of space given the subject in the com missioners' report as proof of the deep impression made upon that body, who took sides with them as far as they legally could. Resolutions thanking the commissioners, recommending ministers generally to agitate the subject, and ap- pointing committee to secure restrlc- tive Legislation were adopted and a com mittee of six appointed. The old com mittee were instructed to consider and report upon the question of the duty of Christians towards the Sunday papers. !" -HqIIfoTd Times.

THE ASSISTANT oLERxsHIP.

Mr Samuel A. Eddy of this place is Q candidate for the office of assistant clerk of the next house of representatives
 The NEWS is not the organ of any political party or faction, but 1t acknowl- edges or recognizes Mir. Eddy's personal fitness for the position before mentioned. He is 9 years of age, graduate of the University Of the City of New York of the class of 1880, and has resided in Canaan since 1881 with his father, Rev Hiram Eddy, D. D., a famous preacher of North Western Connecticut and man who perilled his life in defense of his country, and was imprisoned over year in Libby and o her rebel prisons.
 Young MT Eddy is an excellent elo- cutionist, rapid penman, and possessed of all those qualities essen ial as clerk. Iry harmony with the declaration that 'sPublic office is public trust in this instance the office must seek the man in- stead of the man the office.
 In consenting to become candidate MT Eddy has yielded to the demands of his acquaintances, and we feel assured has compiled wish the wishes of ma jority of the people of Litchfeld county.
 Mir Eddy is a republican, and the re- publicans of Litchfeld county feel that they are entitled to at least crumb oi office from the table of the legislature, for 1t is matter of record that from Litchfeld county republican assistant clerk has been taken but once since the organization of the party and from which no republican has ever gone as clerk ot the house or of the senate. New Haven and New London counties have had each four assistant clerks under republican administration, while Hartford, Fairfield and Windham have had three, Middle sex two, and Holland one Hartford, New Haven and New London counties have had the clerkship four times, Fair field and Windham three times, Holland once, and Litchfeld never.
 The legislature should not hesitate to elect Mir Eddy for he is qualified for the position, and Litchfeld eounty's claim is a just one. ..

THE BETTER NAY,
OR HOW


 The Connecticut Western News Gives
 its Subscribers and Advertisers
 Value Received fer their Money.
 We endeavor to make The News HSelf worth the subscription price and con- clude that we do, for we hear no com plaint from our subscribers, and yet, at the same time we are aware that the majority of country papers give their subscribers premiums to keep them good natured or 10 induce them to pay up arrearages. .. -.....
 We do not offer premiums or directly club with other papers or magazines because the keeping of such accounts or records would absorb large portion of the time which must to be devoted to the paper in order to maintain its standard, but we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency to club The News with 5000 or more different periodicals.
 This method of clubbing The News with other periodicals does not rob the paper of the time which legitimately belongs to it and which is essential to make an interesting paper, for it will readily be seen that it is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one sub- scription agency than to keep an &C., count of one item with 5000 different publishers. a... ..
 Mir Egleston's advertisement in an- other column tells the story and It is not necessary for us to review it further than to explain that his offer of 1.-two papers for the price of one" is dish of his own cooking. We do not offer any chromos or premiums with The News, but do not object to MT Egleston offer ing them if he chooses to. The Farm Journal is a valuable paper and no doubt the publishers of that journal will greatly increase their circulation by introducing it through Egleston's agen- cy to the readers of The News.
 Bear in mind that some publishers who offer ''two papers for the price of one, or, three papers for $2. 9 year in advance" charge at the rate of $2 50 ia Gdoance for heir aceekly paper alone on all subscriptions for less than a year. Others charge S2.50 year if not paid in advance or even $2 50 in single wrap pers. The terms of The News indepen- dent of Egleston's agency, are printed at the head of the first and second pag- es, to which reference is made, and are at the same proportionate rate for three or six months as for year, and no extra price is charged for papers in single wrappers.
 Lastly, word to advertisers Nil Egleston has the names and post-ofice addresses of ID, 600 farmers in all parts of the United States. He proposes to mail copy of The News 10 each ad. dress, mailing from 200 to 800 copies each week until the 10000 is reached Advertisers, especially the owners ol agents of proprietary articles, should appreciate this opportunity of placing their advt rsisements in 10000 homes 1T all parts of the land.

 The object of this agency is to place before the reading community the lowest rates by which periodicals may be ob- tained. By continually sending clubs of subscribers to these newspapers and magazines, we are able to obtain large commissions, the largest part of which we give to the subscribers, to induce them to patronize us, retaining only such an amount as will give us profit of a few cents on each periodical ordered. Single subscriptions can therefore be taken at club rates and forwarded the same day to publishers. No more wait ing to form clubs.
 We have recently purchased and add ed to our business the subscription list which Mir. Bartholomew had charge of at Canaan, Ct., and hope, by fair dealing and lowest living rates, to retain all his customers.
 In ordering several periodicals of us at a time you have only one letter to write, one money order to pay for, and you get them all at club rates, making quite a saving of time, labor and money.

Arizona Live Stock.

Although possessing the neces- sary elements for raising live stock of all classes, cattle predominates in our territory over all other kinds. This will no doubt bethe case for some time to come. but while the cattle are multiplying very fast, there can be no question that the horse, sheep and hog industry is receiving more attention daily and gaining ground with the same, if not more, speed than other branches of commerce. However, the production does not attract the attention which the favorable resources Arizona extends should receive.
 For raising blooded horses or hogs no more favorable place could be found in any state or Territory in the Union than the Salt River valley. Here feed of all kind can be raised at little expense, and the climate is such as to war rant the health of stock. Alfalfa, the grass of which so much has been written lately, grows with almost unprecedented rapidity. and as fodder for hogs its equal cannot be found, these animals subsisting entirely on this, and growing fat.
 Arizona, as shipper of cattle, is yet in her infancy compared with the outlook of the future. The major portion of the cattle men of this territory are men who started in business with compara- lively nothing, but by economy, in- dustry, endurance and great hard ships, they are fast reaching the top round of the ladder of success, and as consequence Arizona may from now on be counted among the beef producers of the world.
 The stock of this territory enjoys such advantages for maintaining a good condition that the questions of feeding prior to shipment needs no consideration, but in order to secure good prices t is quita essential that the best cattle should be shipped. For feeders this year the market will be very active, as dealers east are taking advantage of the immense corn crop of Kan sas, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Large purchases will be made in order to consume this fodder. and those contemplating making sales need have but little fear of reali- zing fair prices. -Hcof and Horn
