HIS HISTORY.

This closes most eventful personal
history. Commodore Kittson was one of
the early pioneers OF the Northw est. Nearly
half a century ago he was an active
and energetic manager OF the fur interests
OF the Northwest and was for many years
one OF the trusted agents of the Hudson
Bay Company. He was Jim Hills partner
in securing control of the st. Paul & Pacific
Railway and made a fortune of seven mil
lion dollars in selling his share of the
system, which is now the great Manitoba.
OF late years he has made the turf his
mania and had two of the
FINEST STUD OF HORSES
in this country, one at Midway, near St.
Paul, and the other at Erdenheim, Penn.
He had recently advertised these for sale to
close up his affairs. In st. Paul he was the
owner of the finest residence in the city, the
Globe newspaper and it's palatial building.
and m uch other fine property, besides great
blocks of bonds and stock. He leaves
several charming daughters and two or
three sons. His wife died in New York
about q year ago.

man, orator, statesman, lawyer, distin-
guished citizen OF the republic, in the zenith
Of his fame and power, has reached his

millions OF his fellow-meD. In the presence

AS TO BARRED WIRE FENCE,

The Legislature has before it number
of bills relating to the subject of barbed
wire fencing, and it apparently ought to
do something. West Cornwall people
are prepared to vouch for the damage
that sort of fencing can inflict, two or
three valuable horses having been seri-
ously hurt by it in that vicinity within a
month, while similar accidents are re-
ported from Whiting and other towns
hereabouts. Some of those who object to
the fence, as ordinarily erected, say that
the evils arising from its use would be
obviated in great degree if board were
put along the top so that horses could see
the fence was there before they came to
it. Others maintain that there is no oc-
cason whatever for the use of the barbed
wire, asserting that the barbless ribbon
wire is just as good.

NOTE AND COMMENT,

State Senator Higbee has novel
scheme of making primary meetings
amenable to law. As things go in this
State there seems to be little use for such
a law.
Hadjy Hassein Ghooly Khan is the
whom the shah of Persia has sent to the
United States. He has Just reached
Washington.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has been mar
ried to Rev. Mr.. Ward of the Indepen-
dent; which fact is important as giving
to maiden ladies renewed assurance that
while there is life there is hope.
The State press, in commenting on the
school bill, seems to be quite unanimous
in approval of the bill as a whole, al
though there is little disappointment
manifested in some quarters that the
adoption of the town system was not
made obligatory.-[Mon journal.
The annual national convention of the
W. C. T. L. was held in New York this
week. The gathering was made lively
by the airing of differences of opinion as
to the expediency of the union declaring
for the third party. The last thing it
did before adjourning was to adopt
resolution supporting that party.
The New York Herald continues to
publish letters from correspondents in
the interior of the State. The tenor of
all of them is substantially in accord
with that we reprinted last week. The
Herald's canvass tends very strongly to
show that the Empire State, and with it
the next presidency, is lost to the Dem
ocrats.
Our legislators show a conmendable
desire to strengthen the prohibitory law
by increasing the penalties for its viola
tion. There is danger, however, of going
too far in right direction; for penalties
may be made so severe that the law will
become dead letter. And still it is
worth while to see how hard punish
ment can be given rum-sellers.
