THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.
The BaHfR0reaH, one of the very
best family and literary papers pub
lishcd, and which has of late appeared
to be filled with greater diversity OF
choice reading matter than usual, thus
moralizes upon the situation of the
seasons-the departure of the old year
and the coming of the new one:
Eighteen hundred and ninety is
near its end, with all It's fluctuations
and its vast concerns, and its young
successor, 1891, is almost here, with
its bright hopes, fair resolves and JOY
Gus antiCipations. Our hopes have
budded, it may be only to be blasted;
our noble resolutions may never be
put into practice; our radiant dreams
may never be realized. Thus has it
been in the buried years laid away, and
yet we find ourselves as ignorant as
then to know what lies in our future
path, and impotent to put into execu-
ton resolves earnestly made under
pledges solemn and inviolable.
Eighteen hundred and ninety brought
us our joys and griefs, oursuccesses and
defeats, our seasons of hope and de
spair, our plighted loves and broken
friendships. We will live it all over
again in this new born year, should
we, too, not go down into that surging
tide that it is to sweep away the hopes
and happiness of thousands of house
holds happy and gay to-day, and
dreaming only of LIES sunbeams and
flowers, that, alas some hidden tenn
pest sooner or later must cnshroud in
darkness and gloom. But let us not
/ be discouraged by tie sad experiences
the past, but begin anew with firm
noble purpose TO render our lives

There is nothing in these tables to
excite soliCitude for the future of the
South SO far as the ability of that re-
gion to support larger POPULATION
than it now has is concerned. In fact,
the figures reveal very sparse popu-
lation in all Of the Southern States,
despite the arguments Of the alarmists
to the contrary. We have yet to
hear that Massachusetts or Rhode
Island or Connecticut is overcrowded
on the con trary, there are thousands
of acres Of good land in these State
that have not yet been cultivated, and
there are vast areas that are still COW
cred with timber and devoid of any
evidences of civilization. How far the
South still is from the density ofpopu-
lation of the Northern States appears at
a glance at the tables above. With
the exception of Maryland, which lies
close to the nations capital, there is
not State in the South that has one
fifth the density of population of the
little New England State of Massachu-
sets. And would anybody question
the ability of any ofthe Southern States
to support as large number ofpeople
to the square mile as now live in Mas
sachusetts? Surely not. This subject
of population is very fascinating
topic, and it suggests some further
calculation that may be ofintrest. The
population Of Pennsylvania is $685.
574, which gives density of 114.o5
persons to each square mile of territory.
This could not be characterized as
overcrowding, nor could Pennsylvania
be considered as in peril of famine or
pestllence ifthe population should reach
two of three times its present figures
In many respects Pennsylvania presents
conditions that are found in the South,
and for a very modest estimate of
Southern possibilities Pennsylvania
might be taken as standard. Allow
ing to each of the Southern States
density of population equivalent to
that existing in Pennsylvania, would
klve to the South nearly one and one
as many people as there are now
entire United States, or about
900. These figures ofSouthern
based upon Pennsylvania
kre of no little interest.

DISCUSSING THE SITUATION.

A Movement Foot to Hold the
 Superior Court in City Hall Audito-
 rum.
 At the bar meeting this morning the matter of superior court accommoda- tions was again introduced. Attorney O'Neill moved that the board of select men and the court of common council be instructed to secure E. T. Turner's hall for temporary court room to con duct the civil cases of the coming term. His arguments were that the court would not sit under the present accom- modations in Waterbury, and thousands of dollars were lost to the city by bring ing witnesses to New Haven.
 Attorney Terry opposed the motion on the ground that he was not in favor of any temporary place. The town and city were supposed to furnish suitable quarters for superior court purposes and If temporary place was found the mat ter of new quarters would be dead letter.
 The motion was amended that the au ,itorium of City hall be procured and arranged temporarily. The amend ment was carried by a vote of 10 to z. The court then adjourned until Tuesday morning at 9:30. In the meantime the clerk will notify Judge Robinson and find out if he will come to Waterbury. AICer auJOurnlnS It was ulScOVereu that the City hall is rented for several dates durin the coming term. District court assignments were made | to-day as follows:
 Monday, May II, Patrick Thompson vs Harmon Payne, (mution.) May 13, T. F. Judson vs City of Wa l terbury ct al.
 May 14, Sylvester Wooster vs N. Y. &; N. E. R. R. Co. May 15, H. c. Baldwin vs Joseph Wineger ct, al motion to erase. May 15, William Cothern ys Roderick Atwood

He stoutly insisted Wednesday night and Thursday morning that bis back was broken, but although Ee has every appearance of having been run over by moving machine and afterwards har- rowed around ten acre lot, he is not only alive, but, if he is not injured in- formally, will probably pull through. His head and face were cut, bruised and banged up in a frightful manner, and his shoulders and back were also fear fully damaged. But his backbone is not broken.
 James Flavin, a Hartford boy, had four fingers of his left hand cut off with buzz saw yesterday. The physicians found 1t necessary to amputate a small portion of the hand, so that enough Sinew could be obtained to cover the cut.

LoAp oF HAY ANp HoRsE BURNED.
A Peculiar Accident on the watertown
 Road To-day.

A Peculiar Accident on the watertown l Road To-day.
 While farmer named Barney, from up Litchfield way, was driving to this city with a load of hay just before noon, when near the blacksmith shop on the Watertown road the friction from the wheel set the hay on fire and in an in stant the whole load was a mass of flames. The horses became badly fright ened and reared and plunged finally bringing up against the fence in such position that it was almost impossible to cut them loose from the load until they were badly burned. One of the hor es is dead and the other will probably have to be killed. Nothing was left of the wagon but the iron works.
 The team was driven by Robert Blackburn, and in trying to save the horses he was badly burned about the hands and face. He was also kicked in the leg by one of the horses. The load of hay was for the Horse Railroad com- paDy. This afternoon the injured horse was removed to Dr Bland's. Mir Bar ney's loss is about $500.
 A load of hay was burned in almost the same manner on Mill street a few weeks ago, but at that time the horses were saved.

Charles Barberri Refuses to Submit to
 An Operation Until 1t Is Too Late.
 Charles Barberri, aged 20, clerk in a New Britain store, boarded Conductor Dinsmore's train, which leaves this city at 4:05 p. m. daily, Thursday afternoon, for Hartford. He did not wait for the train to stop and in jumping off fell under the cars, the wheels passing over his left leg below the knee. On his arri- val at the hospital the physicians thought that his best chance of life lay in his having his leg amputated. This, however, he positively refused to have done. Yesterday he was at last per suaded to allow the operation. But it is feared that the amputation came too late to save his life.
 Charles Woodin of Danbury, was struck by the east-bound passenger train on the New York x New England rail road at 3:15 yesterday afternoon. and was instantly killed. He was walking on the track at Beaver Brook, a suburb of Dan bury, and did not appear to hear the ap- preaching train, although the engine whistled down brakes. Woodin was about 30 years old and unmarried. He was employed by his brother-in-law Dennis Allen, dairyman at Beaver Brook

Editor Swift Hits Upon an Original Way
 of Advertising.
 Business Manager Hall of the Sunday Herald was sent to Hartford this mOrn- ing bearing the following letter to Gov ernor Bulkeley from Editor Swift: Gov MORGAN G. BULKELEY:
 Dear sir-About year ago Mayor Charles R. Baldwin was the principal hero in Herald story to the effect that he was interested in a quarry which was supplying paving blocks to the city. He instituted a criminal libel suit against your humble servant and S20, ,OOO libel suit against the paper. This was fol lowed by two other suits which are now in the lower courts.
 The shock of surprise at the plenti- tude of bonds and at the ease with which the other suits were won seems to have completely unnerved him for his two personal suits haven't even been dusted off since that day.
 After year of waiting 1 finally got a chance at the New Haven term the other day in the criminal side. It was ad- journed till next week. read, however, that owing to the lack of funds there will probably be no sesSiCn for an in definite period.
 want justice. can get that if can only get the court to sit. I think that after waiting twelve months 1 at least ought to have a chance to clear myself of this charge of criminal libel think that the state of Connecticut owes me that courtesy after a year of patience.

$ U G A R. What Kelly Says Must Be So.

The worlds visible supply of sugar at the latest date is 1,606, ,044 tons, as against ,494, ,795 year ago, showing an increase this year of Ill ,249 tons. This should prevent any great increase in the price of sugar for this year. Another cause that will prevent any material advance in sugar is the Mckinley bill, which by re- duction on Scotch and German sugars prevents any large increase of price by trusts and combinations among refners in this country. Another of Kelly's reasons for nominating Mckinley for president in 1892. However, Kelly predicts that sugar is selling to day as low as it is possible to make it. He is loading up large stock, dictions they will follow his example. Kelly sells more bread for quarter than any other baker in the world.

 Stray Leaves From a Reporters Note
 -- Book.
 noticed bicycle rider exercising his steed on the sidewalk, the other day. He was on a side street and did not run anybody down, although a little child came within breath of being struck. A few arrests will impress upon law breaking bicyclists that people have rights that must be respected. A bicy cle is a vehicle and has no more right on the sidewalk than fire engine or truck team. In fact it's noiselessness makes it more dangerous than either.
 A New Haven doctor says that 75 out of every 100 persons who fall into a phy- sician's hands would get we'll without any help, and the majority of the re- l maining 25 are past all human aid, and the physician gets the blame for not saving their lives.
 If you conclude to use blood puri- fer this spring, and decide upon sul- phur, be sure and add little molasses to each dose. Abraham Aal of New Haven on Thursday imagined that his l physical condition was little off color. and having read somewhere that sul- phur was an excellent spring medicine, concluded to test its effects. He took d heaping tablespoonful of the powder and, diluting it in little water as best he could, swallowed it. To his great surprise the sulphur would not go down but stuck in his throat. He nearly suffo- cated from the effects of the dose before his wife could get a cup of molasses, which gave him instant relief.
