 Much excitement has been caused in town by news that MT. Edwin McNeil has brought suit to foreclose the first mortgage given by the Shepaug Valley railroad company of the railroad built by that company. The process was brought by John T.

 The professional base ball clubs have made quite important changes in the rules Hereafter all balls over the plate between knee and shoulder are good balls, and the distinction between high and low balls is abolished; however, the batter failing to hit on the last strike IS out whatever becomes of the ball. On the other hand, the batter is given four instead of three strikes, and takes his base on five instead of six or seven bad balls, as under former rules.
 In these days of typhoid levers and other troubles from impure air and wa ter, the experience of Litchfeld coun- ty man is suggestive. He had an old we'll, which was on the farm before he bought it, and supposed to be about 32 feet deep. The water becoming bad, he set to work to clear out the bottom, and found 20 feet of mud and rubbish the we'll proving to have been over 50 feet deep originally.

 On Saturday, Dec. IS, the H. X c.
 W. road will run special rain from
 Millerton to Hartford, stopping at inter-
 mediate stations, giving patrons an op-
 portunity to visit the R. O. Tyler Post G. A. R. fair and attend the afternoon performance at Jacobs & Proctor's opera house. Special train will leave Miller ton at a. m Fare for the round trip, including admission to the fair, only S1 25 from all stations west of Norfolk. A correspondingly liberal rate from all stations east of Norfolk. Returning, special train will leave Hartford at 9 p. m. Tickets at above rates will be good on the day and special trains only. The Tyler Post fair will be in full blast from Dec 15 to P, both dates inclusive. Season tickets Sl. The presents to be distributed to holders of season tickets amount to S3,1O0. - The travelling public is greatly in convenienced because the Housatonlc trains for Bridgeport and New York are not allowed to wait reasonable time at Canaan to connect with the H. & c. W. trains from the west, when the latter happen to be trife late. Last Thurs day the 3 D. m. Housatonic train pulled out of the station as the H. X c. w. train was approaching. Eight passen- gers who arrived by the latter train found they could not leave Canaan until the 1O50 p. m. freight train, for their destination. Bridgeport, Danbury, Kent and Cornwall Bridge, on the Housatonic road. The case was particularly y exas- perating as tho H. < c. W. train Is said to have been only three minutes late. Furthermore, on its west bound trip, at noon, 1t had waited 13 minutes at Can aan in order to connect with the Housa- tonic train from Bridgeport, which was that much late. The swearing, If not justifiable, was to say the least Il very natural thing to do under the circum- stances. The U. $. mail for the south fared worse than some of the passen- gers, for 1t must remain IS hours and 40 minutes at Canaan when the 3 D. m. trains do not connect. ", Ns.t,s.

Governor PattisOn's Proclamation.

HARRISBURG, November 1.-THE
following proclamation was yester-
day issued by Governor Pattison in
conformity with the proclamation of
the President:
In the name and by the authority of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA, Robert +. PattisOn, Governor
Of the said Commonwealth:
WHEREAS, According to a time
hOnored annual custom, day Is get
apart, by proclamation, for general
acknowledgment tn God, from whom
alt blessings flow, for the mercies and
immunities he has granted to us:
Therefore, /, Robert f. PatiisOn,
Governor of the said Commonwealth,
do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 25th day of November,
to be observe d and kept as day of
thanksgiving and prayer. While we
remember with sincere and practi-
cal sympathy our fellow creatures
who have been called to suffer
through affective dispensations of
Providence, within our own State
and throughout the Union, let us
SlIOW OuI BiuIlLuuC W fAllulkuty OOOl
for whatever exemption from the
SORROWS of life we have enjoyed. And
for the1iberal yield of the precious
fruits OF the earth, the integrity of
our free institutions, the progress of
education and religion, the revival
of business interests, and the general
happiness of the people, let us render
thanksgiving unto Him and pray for
the continuance of the same.
"Thou shalt kept the feast which is
in the end of the year when thou hast
gathered in the labors from the field"
Given under my hand and Great Seal
of the State at Harrisburg, this
third day of November, in the year
of our Lord, A. ID. 1886, and of the
Commonwealth the 1l1th.

Commonwealth. By the GOVERNOR.

The Reason Why.

Many comments have been made on
the recent reluctance Of Mrs. Cleve.
land to enter society this winter and
the probability is that she will not.
All sorts Of reasons have been assign.
ed but the most plausible is the follow.
ing, which is from the Boston Herald /:
"Mrs. Cleveland is not seeing so
many visitors as formerly, and these
only by appointment. She rides out
every day. A y"uug lady who has
been in the habit of calling upon her
tells me that there is beginning to be
little air Of mystery about the do.
mestic life of the White House, and
that even the ladies of the cabinet
wear a far.awsy look sud speak IN an
indefinite way when asked about her,
which may, perhaps, he gentle way
Of limiting that too many questions
should not be asked, and the life of
the family in the white house is enli
tied to the same protection from i'm
pertinent inquiry that belongs to any
other family. At the same time, the
kindness of the public interest in the
welfare of his household can hardly
be source of real annoyance to the
president. II Mrs. Cleveland does
not appear in public for a time it need
not be assumed that she remains at
home merely to avoid meeting JEFF
Davies daughter at Richmond, or be-
cause she does not approve Of the
erection of the statue of liberty in
New York harbor."
