 STAFFORD.
 Already talk of the disposition of the post office is heard. The transparencies borne in the procession of triumph last week, 'sTo the victor belongs the spells, ' and "No hold-over this time," were sug- gestive. During the closing days of Presi- dent Cleveland's term the name of J. V. Squier was sent to the senate for the Stafford Springs postmastersh1p, but the senate took no action upon it, and the matter went by default, the name of Miss Whiton being sent in later by President Harrison. Viewed as a business matter, outside of politics, there is no possible objection to the appointment of MT. Squier if he shall desire it. His business training and adaptation being in all ways favorable But it is not certain that he will care now for the office. No appoint ment could be more satisfactory to the republicans, and no democrat has better earned it by faithful and constant fealty to democratic principles. James Warren is also mentioned, and no objection can be made to him. We don't know what is being said in democratic circles or who is the favorite there, but several other good names are heard spoken of on the street in connection with the post office, some of them, DO doubt, being of parties who themselves have given very little thought to the matter, among whom are E. E. Butterfield, c. H. King and w. M. Craw- ford.
 Miss Bertha Heald's friends gave he1 a surprise party at her home on East Main street last Friday evening.
 A progressive euchre party last Fri day evening at Dr.. c. H. David's, or Church-st. opened the season for that in- dustry. ..t.
 The Monday evening club met this week at M. A. Smiths, on East Main-st.
 By recent change on the railroad the last train from the south will not stop at Orcutts or Ellithorpe, except to leave passengers who get on at Williaantie or points south of Willimantic. This will be serious inconvenience to Orcuttville people.
 w. H. Desper, formerly principal of the Stafford Springs High school, is known in that city Gas he was here) as an enthusiastic astronomer, and has been in- teryiewed concerning the approaching comet by a Telegram reporter, to which he reports his observations through his 11-foot telescope:
 "The new comet is about two degrees west of Mu in Andromeda and is very nearly overheard now. It is barely wis. ible to the naked eye. Through my tel escope it presents remarkably interest ing appearance, looking like ball oi luminous gas, very bright in the middle and growing dinner toward the edges. It is much brighter than the great nebula of Andromeda that is quite near. With the aid of star map, the modern high school scholar will feel greatly interested In looking for this object. He can make observations with the aid of an ordinary opera glass" |.
 This was several days ago, and the in. tervening time has improved the oppor. tunity for inspecting the approaching wis. itor.
