Uses, situated on the turnpike as above stated,
ON SATURDAY, JUNE 10TH, A. D. 1886,
at 2 o'clock, p. M, the following valuable
real estate, to wit The farm of which Samuel
Snyder, late of Carroll county, died seized
and possessed, containing
125 ACRES, . ROODS AND Is PERCHES
of land, more or less, Of which about 81 acres
are heavily timbered with chestnut, oak,
hickory, &c. The improvements consist of a
comfortable Dwelling House
AGA-S and other necessary outbuild
81 ings. There is some fruit on
l1ss5at1sii.ssz the place and an abundance of
water, while the land is enclosed with fair
fencing, and naturally of good quality, and
with little outlay susceptible of the highest
improvement. From the above quantity of
land there has been laid off three woodlots,
containing respectively: No. l, 2 Acres,
Rood and SO Perches; No. 2, Acres and 8
Perches; No. 8, Acres, 2 Roods and 8

VAR IN LITCHFIELD.

Litchfeld, Conn, does not suggest the grim
front of horrid war. 1t suggests OnionS-as
good a variety us is brought to market. And yet
who shall say that before next autumn sets IN
Litchfeld will not have felt the clash of arms
and have found mel cutters clOtted with gore .
The subject, although painful one, cannot, for
obvious reasons, well be avoided. The dire fate
which would seem to await Litchicld arises
from the fact that, according to rumor both Mr.
Cleveland and the Editor of The Worid have
engaged quarters IN that pretty village for the
summer. Commenting on the rumOr, The
BuDalo Courier, the Presidents home organ,
slvly opens hostilities on behalf of its chief
with the significant remark: at is safe to say
that both gentlemen will not pass the summer
in the same village"
Mr. Pulitzer cannot mistake the ugly mean
ing of these words OF the newspaper which is
closest to the President. The Courier not only
is determined that everybody dhal know that
Mr.. Cleveland's voice remains in a state of in
nocuous desuetude when Mr.. Pulitzer passes
by, but it as good as announces that one OF
the two must keep away from Litchiield this
summer. And this means war. For, of course,
considering what stubborn man the President
is it is not to be expected that he will abandon
his Litchfeld plans; while the Editor Of the
World is not the sort of a man to be bulldozed
out of his inalienable rights as summer
boarder even by q President of the United
States with whom-as we gather from The
COurier-he is not on speaking terms. 1t is easy
but painful to see what the consequence will
is not big enough to hold them both. SO Cleve-
Iou1 will c,n tbero Intarninpd N drive ont Pm
liter and Pulitzer with the plucky resolve not
naturally will take sides. There will be
mutual recriminations. Cleveland will write Il
message as ill-tempered as the one he lately
wrote to the Senate. Pulitzer will reply by
shying a casual onion cOntemptuously in the
direction of Cleveland's hotel. The next day
the women and children will be removed for
safety outside the Litchfeld walls, and then, D
then
But we have no heart to complete the picture
of a scene that will Iedden the onion beds with
blood and cause the white-winged angel of
Peace to shrek a shrek that will ascend to
heaven like vocal blizzard. And in spite of
the evident desire of Ihe BH6dlO Courier, acting
as the mouthpiece of Mr.. Cleveland, to prevent
compromise, we are not without hope that war
may be,averted Suppose Mr.. Pulitzer should
consent not to register at LitchfGld until the
2Oth of July, would not the President stipulate
on his part to finish up his visit and quit the
village by that time 2 Or could they rot agree
to take alternate weeks We offer these sug-
zestions in the interest of peace and harmony
and in view of the fact which has never been
disputed that there are a number of other
places in the United States, both in and out of
Connecticut, where it is pleasant to spend the
summer.
