NOT WITHOUT HOPE.

The recent census revealed the actual condition of New Milford and North Canaan, but because THE NEWS of July 16th told what the census enumerators found, the editor of the New Milford Gazette attempts to divert attention from the facts by devoting over half column of his "valuable space" to abusing the editor of THE NEWS and ridiculing North Canaan. Neighbor Bolles' frantic rawlings and his bitter denunciations and untrue statements cannot change the facts in the case. Some of his statements reveal his wis dom( (?)-for instance, he says: Mud principally distinguishes North Canaan from more promising surrounding towns" Now, everyone, except Editor Bolles, knows that sand is distinguish ing feature of North Canaan, not only with the soil but with the inhabitants Editor Bolles' wisdom justly earned him the title which was conferred upon him by one of our exchanges, viz "The small boy who edits the New Milford Gazette.'' That same exchange also wonders, "Why Bolles, who is a pleasant little fellow to meet, should be such fretful porcupine' in print. '" That mystery is solved when we remem- Der that Bolles' stock in trade consists of abuse instead of argument or plain statement of facts.
 We have not lost all hope of Neighbor Bolles. There are lots Of good qualities in him and according to his doctrine of evolution he will make quite nice chap, only give him time enough to crow

Her lmmedi- ate family and early neighbors and friends have mostly preceded her in tho journey to the spirit land. Her beloved consort for forty-seven years in life's pilgrimage, being called from his earthly labors was taken from her trust ing embrace August 31st, 1880, and for nearly ten years she has walked the weary way of widowhood, living for her children and grandchildren, in the bright hope of happy reunion amid the scenes of that bright world where partings are unknown.

D. church in Cornwall, of which she has been an active member for more than fifty years, and for the support of which her labors and means have always contributed her home was always open to Gods Messengers; the Itinerant Methodist preacher.

Her funeral was attended at the M B. church in Corn wall on Saturday, July 18th, 1890. and her remains were inferred among her kindred in the cemetery at Cornwall.
