hall clock that hadn't ticked tick for years. She also loved Mrs. Browne's jellies. After her return to Boston one autumn she received by express long, strongly built, queerly shaped box of oak. When opened it was found to con- tain the coveted clock, and in every cranny about the timepiece were stuffed cans of preserves, some of which had broken in transit The recipient was of course delighted, and on again meeting Mrs. Browne said:
 "'You must at least allow me to pay you for that splendid packing box. How much did it cost you to have it nader
 "'Land's sakesl no, responded Mrs. Browne. You sha'n't give me red cent. That box didn't cost nothin'. It's the case they sent nephew Ira's body home ill after he was killed in the lum- Der woods!'

that goods could be purchased in the country as cheap as in the cities.
 "L asks if we will agree for the next five years to purchase nothing out of town, and that whenever we ride upon the railroad we will pay full fare ? To his first question we reply, no Neither have we asked anyone else to make such an agreement. We have never objected to people buying in neighboring towns or even in cities what their home merchants do not handle. Individually, we do considerable trading out of town because we endea- vor to patronize those who patronize us On Dec 24th, 1884, we devoted nearly three columns to showing the impor- tance of sustaining local paper and the duty of advertising. We mentioned Az business enterprises in this town, gave each one free advertisement and invited them to become regular adver- tisers either by simple business card or by frequent changes of advertise ment. Only one party responded, con- sequently we were obliged to advertise for out of town parties or discontinue THE NEWS. We receive as many home advertisements as our predecessors d1d. and we find no fault on that score, but how can we purchase all our supplies Ill town if we have no opportunity to earn them in town? We pay our home mer- chants more every year than they pay us, but we must trade some with our out of town advertisers. When THE NEWS became "home print" last April we urged the business men in this town to do more advertising. We have fre- quently urged them by personal solici- tation and also through these columns, always giving them to understand that we preferred to boom our own town. But if they won't dance when we pipe to them, we cannot help 1t, and we must consequently take out of town advertis ing. We could do more trading in town if the merchants and other business men in this town did more advertising with us But many in this town are ever ready to get up an excursion to run trade out of town instead of drawing trade into town. We have done what We could to boom North Canaan and build Up business in the Housatonic valley, but it's discouraging work while excur- sions are pulling in the opposite direc tion.
 About railroad fares. We don't recol- lect of ever going on shopping excur- sion train on the Housatonic road. We publish the time table and other notices of the Housatonic road and take pay in mileage tickets at three cents per mile. Wonder if ''L" calls that paying full fare? Some people think newspaper men ride free on railroads, but those same individuals would not be willing to pay what newspaper men do for car fare.
 "L" advocates that 8 law be passed that none but merchants shall have the privilege of buying any thing outside his own town. We don't.
 "L" says, merchants are 8 very useful class and we gladly support a limited number of them," and then he turns square around and advocates starv ing out country merchants. Nuf Ced in reply to his letter. EDITOR OF NEWS.

pLENTY OF BLANKETS FOR ALL.

ehe Inexhaustible Supply of Bed Cloth
 ing Held by 2 Steward.
 Unexpectedly found myself forced to run over to Boston," said man the other day. ''It was so warm and dis agreeable that I determined to go by boat, although knew that I would be unable to get stateroom. I fancied that I should enjoy sitting up until late, when could get a little nap in one of the seats in the cabins. But when the sun was down I found it cold on the water, and was driven into the cabin from the deck. By Il o'clock l was so sleepy that could not hold my head up. The fresh wind outside, fol- lowed by the warmth of the cabin, acted like an opiate on me.
 ''1 hunted up one of the under stew ards and asked him if he could not ar range for me one of those mattresses which saw as he had done for others. Oh, yes; they were there for any ono who wanted them.
 But, said, I can't sleep on one of those things as they are. Can't you get me sheet and blanketT
 "I don't know he answered doubt fully.
 'But he did know when I slipped dollar into his hand, for in short time he came back and made bed for me. I dropped off to sleep at once, and was only awakened by feeling my blanket roughly jerked off me. Sitting up in my improvisel bed I saw the retreating form of my steward carrying the blan- ket. He went up to man, made up bed for him, took dollar and started off.
 See here,' l cried indignantly, what do you mean by stealing my blanket?'
 Oh, he said, did you want itr

Our Reply.

We assure Mir l. ', and all of our read CTS, that we should have dropped the subject of excursions ere this had not "K's" letter, also articles published in other papers which we were requested to reprint, and which we felt compel led to reply to, as we'll as the letter of |" Fair Play," forced us to continue the discussion. Even our correspondents have taken a hand, but we have let them express their views without reply ing to them. But if MT l.. is SO anxious to have the discussion cease, why does he write the foregoing letter and ask us to reply to his questions.
 Mir l., like many others, does not seem to comprehend the difference be- tween shopping excursions to cities and pleasure excursions to cities and to the Centennials at Philadelphia and Chica- go. We have not objected to pleasure 'xcursions, but we have endeavored to show the result of shopping excursions. not merely because country merchants are discouraged, but because we think shopping excursions are a damage to the Housatonic valley and to the rail road itself You have read our argu- ments and you must judge for your selves whether we have fully presented the case or not. .
 .-L asks, What difference does it make whether I buy an article in the city, or of my merchant who goes to the city and buys it for me ?" If Mir l.. will close country stores and daily or weekly go to the city for every article he needs, he will soon discover the fal- lacy of his beautiful theory. and such inconvenience and experience will give him more convincing answer than any wt rls we could record hele.
 Twice or more we have explained why merchants advertise in the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS We refer "L", said explanations for the answer to his ques- tion on that point.
 Yes, there was in THE NEWS picture of an excursion train going to Falls Will lage. It was good advertisement too, otherwise :. l. would not remember it for nearly three years. That imaginary excursion train was run in opposition to shopping excursions to cities run to Eeep money in the Housatonic valley, and yet excursion rates were not given, but the pictorial advertisement was pub- lished to attract attention to the fset
