to raise money 10 furnish the new quarters that have been so generously provided them by the town. The Hockanum Steam CT Fire Go, hear, have engaged the hall for Thanksgiving eve
 The Union Congregational church have occupied their new church, which is so nice that there are not seats enough in the auditorium to accommodate all who wish to purchase. Every seat is sold except the very front ones. It is finished in oak, and the tinted walls are harmonious and restful, the seats easy. The art glass in the windows, the carpet on the floor are in harmony, rich but not gaudy, and the exterior of Monson granite in two shades is in keeping with the interior.
 If we are the infant city we can show some fine public buildings and business blocks, notably Fitch's, Bowling Doane's and the Rockville banks fire proof struc- lures.
 In Doane's block the St. Johns Tenn perance society, an organization of Cath, olic young men, have fitted up elegant and attractive quarters for themselves, which will help many young man from getting into the habit of frequenting sa looms and acquiring bad habits.

The town of Vernon can now boast of the finest building for town hall and off, ces for the town authorities in the state, if not in the United States, for town of less than Il GOO inhabitants. And not only that, but it IS a memorial also of those sons of Vernon who answered the call of their country in its hour of danger, when treason threatened its existence. For sev- eral years previous to 1884 monument to the Vernon soldiers in the late war had been talked of In that year the matter was so far considered in the annual town meeting that committee was appointed to consider the matter and report their conclusions The following year they re- ported in favor of memorial building to contain town hall, offices for town of ficials, suitable rooms for the Grand Army of the Republic, etc. This report was ac- cepted, and the selectmen authorized to purchase suitable site tor the erection of such building in the future, and con- mittee appointed to procure plans and specifications, etc. The lot cor. Park and School streets was purchased. Some dis satisfaction as to this site led to number of town meetings, and the selection of the 1st Congregational church site (which had come into market) was made by good majority. New plans were made, and dur ing the winter of '88-'89 the foundations were laid, and on memorial day, May 30, 1889, the corner stone was laid with inn pressive ceremonies. It was completed and by the building committee turned over to the town on Saturday, Sept. 9th. Their report shows the expenditure of $88, LOG. .O5 on the building and furnishings. The lot cost $37 900 more, making S125, 1O6 O5, for which sum there is an imposing struc- ture of brown stone and brick, fire proof, three stories high. The first story con- tains besides the lobby town clerks of- fee and vault that will contain all the rec ords of the town for many years to come, selectmen's and assessors rooms, the judge of probate's office, with @ large vault con- nected. In the other side is the city court room, police headquarters, city council and city clerks rooms. By ascending an easy flight of stairs the superior court room is reached on the second floor, with rooms for the judge, clerk, sheriff and jury. and on the opposite side of the lobby the e. A. R. rooms. The whole upper floor is devoted to a town hall, the ceiling of which is some 25 feet from the floor, and the room capable of seating some 1000 or more persons. The floors are all hard wood. the Hobbies being tiled, and the wood work oak, ash and cypress. The first social event in the new hall will occur Oct. Sd. when the Fitton Steamer Fire Go, give a ball, with music by Colts band of Hartford. Landlord Ryan of the Rock Post, O. 4. R., assisted by the w. R. 0. and Alden Skinner Camp, 8. of ", hold 8 fair therein the week commencing Nov. 10,

IN years ago when the weekly paper was the oracle of neighborhood, and when it was more partisan than local in character, each county having at least it's two organs, whose thrusts at each other were enjoyed by the respective adherents, the writer once noticed boast in one of the papers that every line in it's current issue was original, which paragraph it's rival copied next week and added ssAnd every reader is exclaiming For heavens sakel don't do it again j" The readers of this paper will not so comment this week upon it's excess of original matter, since most of it is contributed. Two we'll known correspondents serve up agricultural and other topics in interesting style from Wisconsin and California. The lecturer of Stafford grange treats of autumn wild flowers in 8 manner that creates @ desire for more contributions from the same source, while the leading outside article treats of the tariff in 8 way that gives the average reader in- formation upon this subject, and will answer the purpose that every such article should further create desire for further informa- tion. It is a true test of the merits of such paper when it awakens an inquiring spirit and induces reflection and further study, as this will. However we may regard it's con- clusions, it is concise and interesting in it's historical aspects. We hope the writer will give us more upon the topic.

stafford Springs Fair.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, Ger. 9TH AND 9TH.
 Next week
 It ought not to be necessary to point out the responsibility resting upon every body to help make good fair. The off cers of the society serve without pay and are giving nearly their whole time to the work. Their direct interest in the success is no greater than that of every person in- terested in the fair, and every person in this vicinity ought to be counted in the list. It is our fair, and we invite the world to come and see it and if in any particular it does not succeed it is oatr failure. Every one can contribute some thing, either in main building or in horti- cultural hall show, in most cases to both. The true way to help the fair is to help make a good show. Such aid is capital put out at interest. Its effects last through the coming year.
 The balls on evenings of the fair will get large local patronage in addition, no doubt, to considerable attendance of wis., itors. Both are for benefit of deserving local institutions, and will be we'll man. aged and conducted. Southlands band of Springfield, with W. C.. R, an, prompter. serves for both. Tickets, $1. Stafford Springs Fire Department benefit on We'd nesday evening; Citizens Band Thursday evening. Arrangements will be made to have supper furnished to those who desire.
 Anthony Adams, agent for the standard products of the Richmond Stove Co.,, is ar ranging to have fine exhibit of ranges and stoves made by that company.
 In making up the list of attractions one element of the success of past fairs has been well considered-to keep patrons con- stantly amused, and avoid long waits. To this end numerous attractions are on the program, as athletic games, dog races, etc., to work in between trotting heats. The running dogs, with their sharp competing 'best three 1n five" heats, will be feature. MT. Holske, who is in charge of the ath- letics, has national reputation, and will introduce widely known athletes. One of the wrestlers who will compete for a $50 diamond ring is Culver, champion light weight of Massachusetts, a native of Filing ton.
 Experience has demonstrated that bal loon ascensions are uncertainties, but in Prof. Northrop the society has secured the aeronaut who made the best record last veal, and who has made no failures this year for which he was to blame. His ascentiand parachute drop, like all other leading ex- hibits. will be presented on both days, and a special effort will be made to have it take place in the early afternoon.
 The society as in past years puts its poultry show at the front. No Connecti- cut society equals it, and poultry fanciers are attracted by it from all parts of the country.
 We need not promise something fine in dairy stock and working cattle. It will be there.
 The program for speed classes is 1st day, ?. 46 class, $200; flat race, $1OO :; 23O class, $250. 2d day, 2. 50 class, $200 open to all ,$2. 50; 2.38 class, ,$200 fiat race, ,$100.
 All exhibits of cattle, sheep and swine, will be made on the first day of horses, other than speed classes, on the second day.
 Season and reserved seat grand stand tickets are for sale at H. s. Abel's.

Civil service reform, not in the hol- low and canting sense in which it is used in party politics, but in it's truest sense, is . great present need in our customs depart ment. Finally, to facilitate the settlement of differences between the customs depart ment and importers, and to secure uniform
 ity in decisions, a separate court ought to be created to try customs cases. The courts to which such cases may now come have already such full duties that expensive delays are constantly happening. J.M.s

TIE benefit of the Mckinley bill to protect the growing American interest of wool pro duction is worth little to Connecticut unless something be done to lessen the dog nuisance And the farmer, who is going to be an impor- tant factor in Connecticut state government for the next two years, has no more serious or inn portant work on his hands than to see that the Connecticut sheep is protected from the Con- necticut dog, (the worst of which are quite like ly to be owned by irresponsible mem that roams and devastates the pastures. Wool and mutton growing ought to be an important in dustry in this state. There is money in it for the farmer, and money for the farmer means business for those who manufacture or traffic in whatever the farmer consumes, A great many people in Connecticut live by farming Open the door to sheep raising and larger number can have better living. The doc urine of protection has been extended too far in the direction of dogs.

IN his letter of acceptance Judge Morris pays high compliment to his republican competitor, and deprecatcs any attempt to make this 8 personal campaign. He does not take this precaution because it is safest for him, since his own high character puts him beyond fear of personal attack. No mud has been thrown at either candidate thus far, ex- cept that the queer and roundabout charge was made against Gen. Merwin that he was one of firm that sold dressed beef for Armour & Go. of Chicago, which latter firm was also interested in oleo margarine. This round about charge, even, is untrue. Gen. Merwin retired from the firm long before the day of oleo margarine agitation.
