The Tribune building was partially burned during the recent fire in New Hartford. The last two issues of that paper have been printed on the Winsted Herald's press, bu. the issue of Novem- Der 13 will be omitted. Editor Jones says:-
 "On account of the unsettled state of our office, with our presses and other material still out of doors, our subscrib- CTS and advertisers will doubtless pardon us if we suspend publication of the Fri bune one week. Since we have con- ducted the TribIne we have never failed single week to publish it. Our vaca- ton will in fact be no vacation, but a week of harder work than ever to get things strengthened.

PURE MILK 4 YEAR OLD.
From the Amenia Times.

from Hle AnleHld IHneS.
 It is said that company has been formed in New York city for securing pure milk by new process. Fresh, pure milk made in localities where feed is cheap, is canned, bottled and corked when first drawn from the COW, and im- mediately heated in water or steam, both under the pressure of the atmos- phere. It is then cooled, after which it may be kept a year without undergoing any change. Heating destroys all germs and bottling prevents all connection with the outside air.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Il, 1885.

The New Britain Herald in on edito- rial says:-
 Congress passed the law that made the silver dollar Surely they could find no fault in being paid in their own money. Or did they intend to make one kind of money for laborers and another for themselves? Pay them all off, the pres ident, the cabinet and all the minor off, cers of the government in silver dollars and then you not only test the genuine ness of the money but put it into circu- lation, and in this way obviate the great evil of having money hoarded up with no earthly use for it.
 Had the present administration made the law in question we should also say "pay them off in their own coin."

Legend of Campbell Falls.

Legend of Campbell Falls.
 PART I. In the old Colonial period, Previous to the Revolution, When the tide of emigration Rushed towards the hills of Berkshire, There was one by name John Campbell, Full of yigor. strong and robust, Came and viewed, and bought, and settled, Near the place his name now bearing. Now John Campbell was no laggard. Used 10 toll, inurcd to labor, Barred his arm and felled the forest; Soon he quickly made clearing, Flowed and sowed and reaped a harvest. Then acceding to the wishes Of his neighbors ronnd about him, Wrought and built little grist-mill, Rude and simple in construction, On the rocks above the river; And he toiled 'till he was weary, Flowed and dug and built raeeway, Turned the Barden brook into 1t, Thus he set his grlst-mill going.
 Thus John Campbell was miller, And the settlers all about him, Some with bags upon their shoulders, Some with creaking, numbering OK x-carts. Some astride their ambling ponies, Patronized John Campbells grist.mill. For a time John wrought and prospered. And could he have been contented With his small increasing income. Might have lived quite happily.
 PART IT. In their flight inc years rolled onward, Bringing with them many changer, All our struggles with Old England, All defeats and all disasters In onr strife for Independence, Had at last been crowned victorious; And TOW peace and plenty smiling, Reigned o'er all the land supremely, And John Campbell, aged, hoary, Stl upon life's brink was lingering, He had grown profane and wicked, Mocked and scoffed at all religion. Ridiculed his pioas neighbors, Cursed all laws divine and human. Cursed his God and all things holy.
 But time. quickly, swiftly speeding. To his ninetieth year soon brought him, Then came days and weeks of sickness, And he lay upon his death-bed.
 And one dark and sultry evening, When the fire upon the hearthstone Lighted up in htful flashes, And the dImly lighted candle Der all a sieklY light was shedding, A kind neighbor came as watcher.
 As John lay tossing and grooming, All at once he clutched the bed-clothss, And In icne of voice despairing, Uttered this with pregnant meaning. Why have 70 long been living, Unless to bring truth to light!" And the neighbor sat astonished. What to do, or say, scarce knowing, And was on the point of speaking Of the burden on his conscience, When 8 gasp, groan, and shudder Quickly told him all was over.
 Then the gossips through the region Went from house to house repeatin. What they'd heard about the story Ofthe sudden disappearance Ofan old itinerant peddler, In the days of the Revolution.
 This the story I've related, This the legend of John Campbell.

 Years to be Put in Blast.
 From the Ne,o Haucn Ne,cs.
 PHILADELPHIA, November 8.-Author- ities in the iron trade say that the favor able conditions which appeared three months ago continue in all lines. Steel rails are still in good request and the currant price, $32 per ton, is firmly maintained. Arrangements have been made it is said, for putting in blast sev- eral of the new furnaces along the Schuylkill that have been idle for years, as there is a good demand for pig iron. There is considerable inquiry for struc- tural iron and the mills are pretty &C., lively at work.
 Nails are scarce on account of the strike. and have advanced 10 cents a keg. Muck bars are somewhat higher at $27 and BPS. Wrought iron pipes are in active demand, although it is said some manufacturers are beginning to accumulate stocks. The requirements for railroads now being constructed will, it is calculated, keep the mills pretty busy for some time to come. There are few old rails in the market, but if more should come out they could readily be sold

Rebel prestan,s Trial and Death

New Y aRK September 3.-The Spanish
columns OF the Panama Star and Herald,
of August 90 contains report of the
proceedings of court martial that met
on the 18th inst, to try Pedro Prestan,
who has since been executed. Four
witnesses were brought before the court
and declared that Prestan was the prin-
cipal author of the destruction of Colon,
on the 31st of March, last. These were
Juan Beltramo, ian Italian), Clement
Dupuy, acting superintendent of the
Panama Railroad, Hugh Dieterich Ger
man), and William Cennor, agent of
the Pacific Central Steamship Company,
in Colon. These four gentlemen, after
having given their evidence against
Pres tan, were confronted with him.
Their different declarations show that
Prestan was the author of the fire III
Colon, and although he strongly denied
all the charges made against him, actu-
ally naming the persons who could
testify as to his innocence, he neverthe-
less did not lay the blame on any other
person, nor did he say his followers had
not committed the crime. The chair
man of the court martial ordered wit
nesses named by Prestan to be brought
into court. so that they should make
their statement. After the lapse of an
hour the court was informed that all
the persons named by Prestan were not
to be found on the Isthmus, as they had
left after burning Colon. In view of
this and as all the witnesses agreed on
one point, that PreStan was the author
of the fire. The court after having
heard the prisoners defense, ordered the
room cleared, and then deliberated as
to the sentence they should pronounce
Prestan at once. The death warrant
was signed, the prisoner called in, and
he was informed of his sentence. He
heard the sentence read with great COM
posure. Up to his last moment he had
a priest by his side. When upon the
scaffold, Prestan spoke few words
calling upon Colombians to believe him
innocent of such an atrocieus crime
Notwithstanding all his repeated pro-
tests of Innocence, there was but one
voice OF unanimous approval, when
the car was removed from under his
feet and the body was left to
swing on the scaffold Prestan was
hanged soon after midday on the 18th
ult. The sentence was signed at 7.3O p.
m. on the evening of the 18th ult., and
was unanimously approved. The exc
cution was witnessed by an immense
crowd of all colors and nationalities.
the greater part of which probably
never witnessed such a scene before.
Death seems to have been instantane-
Gus, as no show of life was apparent
three minutes after dropping.
