The Kentucky convention, about
which there has been SO much written
and said, has become thing of the
past, and still the financial question is
not entirely settled. The gold men will
claim that by the Endorsement of Carlisle
and the administration everything is
settled their way, while on the other
hand the candidate Of the free silver
men for governor, General Hardin hav-
ing been nominated, the silver men
claim a substantial victory. This con
vention seems to have demonstrated one
thing with certainty, i. g., the Kentucky
democrats are not willing to 'let the tail
60 with the hide.''

ASHFORD,
Westford Correspondence.


 J. Benjamin Gray recently came from North Wilton, where he is employed in the store of R. W. Keeler, and spent a week with his parents, MT. and Mrs. John s. Gray. During his stay he made a pur- chase of the Willard s. Fuller farm, upon which we hope that he will some day put up new house and make the place shine, for it is good one, and has upon it a nearly new barn built at cost of not far from $500.
 The rain last Sunday gladdened the hearts of the farmers in this vicinity, for the ground was getting very dry. The prospect, at the present time is not at all encouraging for good crop of hay the present season.

Christ, it was her delight to go about do- ing good to do what she could was her constant aim. During the four years of the writer's pastorate in Somers, he un- failingly found her, with her husband, Alonzo Harwood, (who died some years since) not only willing to work for the church but also to sacrifice much that it might prosper. Many are they who most sincerely mourn the going away" of such as she, saying, "how can we spare them?" But we are comforted by the assurance that it will be we'll with them forever and their reward glorious.

 A most pleasant event was that of a surprise party at Crystal Lake on Satur- day evening last, when party of people, old and young, at the numbers of over one hundred, from adjoining towns, met at Crystal Lake Hotel. The surprise was gotten up by the immediate neighbors, Mir. l.. A. Aborn and his estimable wife acting as host and hostess. The tables were bountifully laden with good things ; flowers in prOfusion decked the tables. After all were seated around the tables, Landlord Bowler, in very affable speech, cordially welcomed the guests, saying that it was a complete surprise to him, yet he enjoyed it all the more.

It's con- tents comprised few securieties, certifi- cates of stock, deeds, etc., worth perhaps $3,OOO, but altogether nothing but what would have been in the private box of any person. The contents were so palpably without interest to the public that the ad- ministrators decided not to make the con- tents known in detail. The life insurance policies approximating $3O,O00, were so encountered with assignments that no actual value to the estate could be got at.

He did not go home He was very small of his age and it was thought he might have been drowned. He lived with his mother, Mrs. Sylvester AbOrn, on the SOmers road, and much alarm was caused by his absence. He was picked up in Somers on Tuesday and returned to his home. The boy is not very bright and could give no clear account of his wan derings, but says he was in Springfield and rode on the electric cars.

He has given notice to creditors that they must prove their claims within three months and has sent out to persons whose notes the bank holds, notices of the date on which the notes come due, signed by "Michael F.
