The Stewards House at Charlotte Hall
on Wednesday evening, the 9th ultimo,
was the scene of very pleasant gathering
Notwithstanding the fact that il had rained
all day and poured in torrents after night
set in. The students had intended having
an exhibition of their field sports, but
were prevented by the inclemency of the
weather. However, the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, nothing daunted, determined TO car
ry out their already matured plans for fur
nishing good supper TO those who were
disposed to partake thereof. At an early
hour quite q number Of persons from the
immediate neighborhood assembled in the
dining room and did ample justice TO the
choice and abundant viands placed before
them by the charming young ladies. AZ
ter supper the tables were removed and
dancing was INDUCED in until 10 o'clock
when, to the grief of many young hearts,
our kind hostess suggested that it was time
to stop. Among the fair dancers was one
with brightest eyes Of azure hue and hair
of shining goli,'' whose merry voice and
beaming smile seemed to infuse life and
warmth into the whole company. She was
the perfect embodiment of sunbeam as
she glided by In the dancc-so bright, so
graceful and so charming. Even our grave
friend. the clergyman-elect, who. rarely
joins In such gaieties, but appears rather to
have renounced the friyolties of this brief
and transitory life, was heard craving
'just one dance" which pleasure was cheer
fully accorded him. All! buoyant and
bright hearted youth, but once possessed

TIE WATER FIGHT.


Genoa Courier, the local organ OF
the ranchers to give our readers an
flea of how the question is regarded
in Douglas:
Mr.. Frank Newlands, on behalf
OF the Sharon estate, made propo-
sltion to take a decree OF 5000
inches of water and during the
wears of go and 81 give the ranch
ers the water until July 10Th.
After this the mills would take all
the water the year round and put
ND an equal sum with the raHchers
to build storage Ieservoirs.-AP-
PEAL
That's it. In high tide and in
low tide, in the wet time and in
the dry time, Mr.. Newlands de-
manded 5000 inches of water for
the mills, or more than there is in
the river during the entire season
of scarcity. Consequently he asked
for all the Wdter aud more when 1T
is OF value. No wonder the ranch
ers did not accept his proposition.
II they had, nine-tenths OF their
ranches would not be worth 2 cents
an acre at the end OF two years.
The APPEAL believes that the
ranchers made a grave mistake in
rejecting the compromise offered
them by the mills. They were
offered very liberal terms OF compro-
misa and they refused them
The APPEAL is mistaken. Moth
ing of a compromise nature was
proposed. The mills asked for
5000 inches of water. all they can
use and more than there has been
in the river since last June. If the
farmers would give them this, give
them what would be equivalent to
all the water during the Summer
season, they would join the farm
ers in building storage reservoirs.
The farmers seem to think that
they are too poor to engage IN dam
building if the mill must have all
he water.
We do not blame the millmen
for trying to get all the water they
can; they need it. But we venture
to cav there is not one mill owner
who believes the rancheTs acted
unwisely when they refused to tall
into the trap that was set Tor
them.

TOWN REPRESENTATION.
/ From the n. Y. Evening Post.l


The New England town is a political
institution which has earned the right to
be treated with the utmost respect. The
Legislature, in which every town has its
representative, is another political insti-
tuition of the same class. In State where
there are no great cities and few large
towns-such State as Vermont remains
to the present day-no fairer system of
legislating can be imagined than that
which gives each town its representative
among the lawmakers. There is no bet
ter picture of self-government, according
to the standards established century ago,
than is to be seen at Montpelier when the
Legislature is in session. Vermonts fail
ure to grow in population has its compen-
sation in the fact that the inequalities in
the size of its towns do not materially
infringe upon the fairness of the ancient
system of representation.
The growth of large cities, however,
does indisputably disturb the balance.
Even the most loyal of Yankees must
admit that it would not seem fair for
some little town in the Berkshire Hills to
have as many representatives in the
Massachusett Legislature as Boston; in
like manner, he must confess that sit
don't seem fair in Connecticut that little
union, with only lis votes, should have
as many representatives as New Haven,
with 1882. But the Courant is right in
holding that, after all, the question be-
tween systems is a question of results
If Connecticut gets better government
under the present plan than she would il
representation were based upon popula.
ton, it is for her interest to retain it. II
must frankly be admitted that Connects
cut does get good government. 1t must
be as frankly admitted that, judging from
the experience of Massachusetts with hel
Boston legislators and of New York with
the lawmakers from her great cities, the
probabilities are that things would have
gone worse than they have the past TWEEN
ty-fve years if Hartford and New Hayer
and the other Connecticut cities had hat
more representatives and the farming
towns fewer.
1.-THE representatives sent by the large
cities" says the Courant, "are not Sc
much the superiors of those sent by tn,
smaller places as to create a public de
mand for filling up the State-house will
them" 1t is speaking of Connecticut, bu
the remark holds as true of other States
1t is one of the discouraging features O
our national development that our cite
steady grow, and that the character o
our city legislators steadily falls. Tn
disagreable truth is that it is a lucky Stat
which has so few of them as Connecticut
