TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

The elections last Tuesday were
great republican victories all along
the line. Even Kentucky went re-
publican along with the rest OF the
states. Republican victories in the
New York, Maryland and Ohio legis'
latures mean that Senators Hill,
German and Brice will loose their
places in the United States senate.
Except for the addition of the new
senator's from Utah the complexion
OF the senate will not be changed
until 1897. While the election does
not indicate that the same results
will be reached next year, yet the
situation is one in which all repubIi.
cans may take courage and work TOR
even greater victories in 1896. Be

tion returns:
The returns in Maryland are not
complete, but the indications are that
the republican governor is elected
with a plurality of 1900.

the state by a plurality OF 70 900,
although Tammany has New York
City again in in its clutches, winning
there by majority of 10000.

majority OF 10000, and the legi>la'
ture is republican, five out OF seven

Mrs A. E. Barber and daughter, Miss
| Lizzie, are spending the summer at high
altitude by Lake Chautauqua, where the
doctor owns a cottage. Mrs Barber is
sadly afflicted with hay fever, which
| makes it necessary for her to spend three
or four months away from home in order
to live with any degree of comfort. The
first white frost in the fall which kills
vegetation relieves the patient. No
doubt the doctor is anxiously waiting for
the white frost. His practice requires
his presence at home most of the time,
where ne lives life of single blessed
ness.

A BRLDGEwATER VETERAN.
After many years we met again an old
acquaintance, Dea Henry Sanford of
Bridgewater, who is in his 89th year.
"Old Father Time" seems to have dealt
kindly with him during the past % years.
His figure is still erect and his step firm.
An old neighbor standing near by re-
marked that he visited Mr. Sanford not
long since and found him busy raking
hay and rolling the winrows into heaps,
and doing the work with Ia three year-old
colt. Mr. Sanford says: MY neighbors
do tell big stories about how much work
do. The fact is / had much rather work
than to spend my old age in idleness. It's
so much pleasanter to work a little and
pass part of my time in that way" Mr.
Sanford Is the owner of a fertile farm,
which used to be well stocked with sleek,
fat steers that in those days were sold at
a profit to dealer who drove them to
some distant market. His homestead
overlooks the Housatonic on the west,
just below the falls where the water tum-
bles through the gorge into the Cove.
Wolf Pits mountain breaks the high
winds on the North. When at home it's
here where we find him, a most congen-
ial and companionable man of his age.
His like we seldom meet and we can safe
" compare him to the Granger's beauti-
full golden ear of corn fully ripe and
ready to be garnered in at the Masters
command.

at present is Charles E. Rrinton over the
loss of valuable hound. He with a
party went coon hunting, Saturday

one coon. The dog was in the wagon on
their return home and in some manner
either got thrown or fell out of the
wagon breaking his back and the poor
creature had to be killed to end its suf-
ferings. No use of trying to borrow a
dollar of Charles, this week. The price
of the dog was $50 and the price Of coon
captured about 20 cents.
