Nellie B.HuDbarQ CT Cn1S Town IS the
last contributor to our strawberry
items. She sends to this Office daisy,
dandelion, buttercup and strawberry
blossoms, all picked Nov. I'd. If the

NJ w. Farman of Westfeld, better
known as the "Blind Orator., will
deliver a lecture in the Methodist
church next Sunday evening on an
interesting religious subject. MIR.
Farman is q very pleasant speaker
and this public will be pleased to hear
him.
The MONITOR is calling attention in
various articles to matters in cOnnec-
ton with the Legislature and State ex-
penses. The tendency is toward ex-
travagance, ali the time, and the one
term legislators are very liable to help
the extravaganza along unless some
body cries out, "Whoa!"
Elections will be held in every State
in the Union except four to- morrow
and intense interest is felt. The re-
suit will be a landslide towards the re-
pubicans and it is hoped that enough
republican gains viii be made to pre-
Vent further tariff making during
Cieveiand's administration.
The entertainment at the Cong.
church on Friday evening was very
pleasant affair, consisting Of recita-

Robinson for the efficient work done
in getting up the entertainment.
On Friday evening as Avery Bige-
low,young Kendrick and the up-to town
blacksmith were driving on Church
street, near A. F. French's, they col

the horse dumped up in the road with
broken thills and other damages. Mr..
Whites horse took fright, ran to the
Joslyn bridge, where the wheels
struck the side Of the bridge and the
horse cleared himself from the wagon.
This wagon was pretty effectually
used up and the harness and horse
somewhat damaged.
