Tradition, handed down from genera ton to generation, says that during the colonial days eight men came over from England in company, and obtained the right to settle township in Holland Coun- ty, and after due deliberation they select ed tract adjoining the county seat, and gave it the name of Wilmington. The name indicates that each man was willing his neighbor should have big farm. As I have no record I can give the names of only five. These were Fenton, Merrick, Holt, Taylor and Topliff. Each man took for a farm strip of territory reaching from Holland to Ashford, and about one mile in width. One of the eight chose the north part because it abounded in deer, and being descendant of Nimrod he here found his paradise. These pioneers were rot alone in the wilderness, by any means

A NOBLE WOMAN.

The death of Mrs. Harriet W. F. Haw- ley, wife of Senator Hawley of Connecti- cut, has removed to the unseen world a noble, brave, humane, loyal, selfforgetful woman. In the fall of '62, the Seventh Connecticut regiment, of which Colonel Hawley was commander, was ordered to Beaufort, s. 0. Here Mrs. Hawley came, drawn partly by desire to be near her husband, and partly by interest in the colored people, who were gathered in large numbers at Beaufort It was here that the writer, then a member of the regiment, first met her. She was then, as always, very frail in body but the will and the spirit were victorious over the body, making it serve every high and humane purpose. Her whole soul was in the cause of her country, both because it aOC1s the cause of her country, and be- cause it was the cause of justice and lib- erty and the rights of the human race. tion, cheerful in bearing the petty hard ships of life in camp or at post, as well as in bearing the knowledge of the expos ure to death which attended him who was dearer to her than all the world. Her heart was with the soldiers, especially with the sick and wounded. She was a constant visitor at the hospitals, and was inventive of some relief for the sufferers.
 * v
 During the public career of her hus- band, as governor, congressman and sen- ator, she has been to him an intelligent and wise counselor and an inspiration. ''The heart of her husband did safely trust in her." The time and the energy which many ladies surrender to the ex- actions of society, she gave to worthier ends. It was beautiful and fitting trib- ute that the senate adjourned, in order to enable members to attend her funeral, and that the senators individually united in letter to her husband, expressing their sympathy for him and their regard for her who had departed. It was a trib- ute no less honorable and significant that the surviving members of the Seventh Connecticut and the comrades of the Graud Army united in bearing to the grave the remains of one who had earned the love of every soldier.
 | Her last hours were characterized by christian calmness and peace. When told of the probable termination of heI disease (pneumonia), and asked, "You are not afraid ?" she smiled and said | Afraid am going to be with my best | friend"
 It was one of the compensations of the war that if threw one often into most inti mate associations with some of the nobles souls. The editor asks the indulgence ot the readers in paying this most made quate tribute to one of the bravest anC most heroic of women.-Zhe Natio71a | RnDtist

], At the mugwump feast in Boston Hon.
 Iavld A. Wells of Norwich related an in- cident in regard to the appointment >of 2
 Connecticut postmaster. The Bulletin
 thus sketches his story: "The appointee
 was the chairman of the democratic town committee, but he had offended the local temperance sentiment by repeatedly vio- lating the liquor law. A delegation of cit- izens furnished Mr. Wells with affidavits to that effect, and they were forwarded to the president The appointee was at once removed, and all the democratic party
 machinery of the state had been unable to procure his reinstatement, although every influence had been invoked. Now Con- necticut people will learn why it was that a certain important post office in eastern Windham county rejoiced, for brief season, in two new democratic postmasters.

The Windham County Transcript scores the house for indefinitely postponing the favorable reported bill to close liquor sa- looms at Il o'clock. It says ''The same body is considering bill to cut down the pursuit of honest and necessary industries to ten hours for each day, which will neces- sitate the closing of our mills and shops by o'clock p. m. at the latest, and yet by this vote keep the grog shops running un- til midnight, and, as the law allows them to commence their devilish business at in the morning, it gives them nineteen out of every twenty-four to manufacture drunk ards and flch from the poor laborer the last penny possible. Shame on such legis- lation, and more shame on the Windham county man who could be, so deaf to the voice at home as to vote against the bill. !"

 A west of Scotland clergyman was go- ing to the Highlands for hIs holidays. and beilg very fond of the "Nabob Pickles" he took bottle with him. The "Nabob Pickles" are extremely hot, and should be sparingly used. Arrived at hotel, he placed the bottle on the table, and took one or two of them. A Yankee was sit ting opposite, and got his eye on the pickles. Stranger, pass the pickles, please" The clergyman said "Theae are private property, but you are welcome to them" He passed the bottle across the table. The Yankee emptied hall the bottle into his plate, and stirred them we'll up with his spoon. He took spoon fnl, but they were not long down when he drew long breath, and said, fOh, dod- gast it Look here, stranger, guess yon are parson ?"

 Milk is becoming a fashionable bev- craze, being nutritious, palatable, and healthy, especially good for those threat ened with kidney affections. Who will be the first to try the experiment of putting iced milk on sale as a summer beverage ? The craze mag strike this locality, and If it does worse, beverage is the more likely to be the one displaced.
 The move of the Rockville mills to- ward making ten-hours of work answer for 8 day, helps on toward fruition not un- reasonable desire of workingmen. We believe that Senator Chaffee of Mansfield, who is chairman of the labor committee, has always run hIs mills ten hours per day. So have Smith & Cooley of this vil- lage. In fact, were it not that back of the call for9 reduction of working hours to ten per day already are seen signs of a demand to follow for further reduction to 8 hours, employers would not be long in deciding to establish the ten hour system. The U. s. government has for years made a limit of eight hours, but its employees are mainly those of sedentary occupations, which are much more wearing and debili- tating than manual labor. It is we'll known that men will better endure active labor than confining application to inactive em- ployment. It manufacturers note that there is to be a steady pressure for reduc- tion beyond that ten hours they are likely to feel that stand may as well be taken at one point as at another.
