DEATH OF CAPT. cHAUNoY PAUL.

DEATH OF CAPT. CHAUNCY PAUL.
 The death of this venerable gentleman has for some time been looked for, his con- dition for some weeks rast having been very feeble. Capt. Paul has for nearly 8 century been prominent man in Eastern Connecticut, belonging to one of the oldest families in Union. He has filled every of- flee in the gift of his town, and enjoyed ev- cry mark of confidence of his friends and neighbors. Everybody went to him for counsel in matters of business or law, for his judgement was good, ,anfl his knowledge of law points equal to those of most law yers, he having been close student and reader, sitting in courts as justice nearly all his life until disqualified by the legal limi- tation of age. He was often judge of the Stafford and Union probate district, and fre- quently sat in the legislature. At his death he had been for fully an ordinary life time director in the Holland County Mutual Insurance Company. He was looked up to as man of firm convictions, integrity of purpose, true friend, and safe coun- sellor. These facts are written up with no data or memorandum to draw opon. May we not hope that some one who has access to such will hereafter do better justice to his memory.

 Do bees prospect before swarming ? For several days few bees had been mo- ticed flying in and ont between the loose clapboards of an old shop on our place, and Sunday afternoon pater, noticing a large swarm of bees hanging on a tree at Mr. Geo Parker's, called and told the family. Mrs. Parker said that she had hived those bees earlier in the day, but they did not like the hive, and she would hive them again toward dark. While they were talking of the bees the swarm arose. "They are going to the walnut tree in your lot, and If you will catch them you may have the swarm Mrs. Parker faid to batter, who started at once to follow their flight. The bees did not stop at the walnut, but up the hill, more than quar- ter of a mile, they made.a bee-hne, and went directly into the old shop, where they remain at work between the clap boards and lining and under the floor.

 Mir. George R. Johnson died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Russ, in Westford the 18th inst. The funeral ser vices took place at the church in Westford on Sunday, Rev. A. J. Culver officiating. There were many mourners. The church was filled with people, some came many miles to pay their respect to the deceased, whom they esteemed as gentleman and a friend. MT. Johnson bore his misfortunes with manly and christian fortitude. No murmur or complaint was heard from him. He manifested no malice or revengeful spirit towards the one whom he firmly, be- heved shot him. He was kindly cared for and everything that was known to be for his comfort was administered to him at the hands of his son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Russ, also timely assistance was rendered by kind neighbors. Thanks on the part of the relatives of the deceased are rendered to all who have rendered assist ance during the sickness and in the burial of Mir. Johnson.

HE Is ALL RIGHT

"a Voter" wishes to know what fault
Che GLOBE can find with Judge KEEL
LY's judicial administration. None.
absolutely none. Judge KELLY has
made an upright, conscientious and
hard-working judicial officer, and the
GLOBE has never complained of him or
of his official administration. What
ever criticism we have had to make
with reference to Judge KELLY was
simply as to the manner of his appoint
ment. The bar of this district united
in petition asking for the appoint
ment of another gentleman. Gov. Nc
GILL disregarded the wishes of the legal
fraternity i'll the matter, and, as was
very well understood at the time, Judge
KEILY'S appointment was reward for
personal services rendered in the gov
ernor's behalf in the state campaign.
The GLOBE then objected, and still OBJ
jects, to making the judicial office a
debt-paying institution. Personally and
officially, Judge KELLY is all right. and
the GLOBE does not hesitate to award
him all the praise that is due.

Speclal 10 tne GlODe.
RED Wing, Aug. 29.-The Scheffer-
Merriam fight was only secondary
consideration last nights ward caucus
of the Republicans, the principal fight
being made ON the county offices. The
only trouble was in the Second ward,
where bolt occurred ON the
part of some supporters of Merriam,
who objected to two of the delegates
chosen, and selected two others
in their places. In the first ward NJ. S.
Chandler, an old war horse, was de
feated for delegate by Il vote of 81 to 50,
but he was subsequently, chosen by ac-
clamation. Scheffer and Merriam both
secured number of delegates, but the
section which favorS some outside man
like Gilman or Rice, is nearly as large.
The county convention will be held at
Cannon Falls tomorrow, and the cleo
ton of delegates to the state conven-
tion as well as the selection of
candidates for county offices will be
hotly contested. Gen. JenniSon, who
has all along been conceded the chair
manship of the state delegation, will
probably meet with some opposition be-
cause of his Scheffer views, but it is
doubtful il the opposition will be Suffi-
GENTLY strong to defeat him. For
county offices there will be a hot fight

A GREAT PENSION RECORD.

n 0hEAI PENSlON hECCRD.
The annual report of the pension
commissioner, which has just been
snade public, and synopsis of which
is given in the GLOBES Washington
dispatches, is unusually interesting at
this particular time. because it presents
official figures and statements which
utterly refute many falsehoods and
willful misrepresentation which the
opposition have been busily circulating
against the CLEVELAND adminiStra-
ton. 1t has been charged that MIR.
CLEVELAND was hostile to all pension
legislation, and that he used the powers
pertaining to his high office to prevent
old soldiers from being placed on
the pension rolls. In contradiction
of this malicious falsehood the
record of the pension bureau shows
that during the past year there
were added to the pension roll
60,252 names, the largest annual
increase in the history of the bureau,
from the time of LINcoLN's first ad-
ministration down to the beginning of
the CLEVELAND administration. The
total number of special pension acts,
which became laws was 2,OO1. This in
cluGel the administrations of LINCOLN,
JOHNSON, HAYES, GARFIELD and
ARTHUR, embracing period of twenty
four years. Yet, during the three years
of the CT EvELAND administration, the
special pension acts which became
laws numbered 1860, double the num-
ber of the GARFIELD and ARTHUR ad-
ministrationS, nearly four times the
number OF either JOHNSON, GRANT, or
HAYES administrations, and within 632
of the total number of special pension
laws passed during the twenty-four
years preceding the CLEVELAND ad-
ministration.
With this pension record staring him
the face, the campaign liar will now be
compelled to go out of business.
