This sentiment, expressed by the editor
Of Harper's Weekly, viii be applauded
by every patriotic and thoughtful citi-
zen: The strength of a nation at its best
is put forth In these fast-increasing re-
unions of the old. enemies of the civil
war. They prove that the bonds which
make us instinctively ard spontaneously
one are stronger than the influences
which might urge us asunder. The les
son of Louisville and Of Chattanooga is
very simple. 1t is that the nation need
fear no permanent sectional dissension
from views on the questions of the tariff
and silver and bounties, when It's exper-
fence shows that 1t 10 only welded more
firmly together by the harder tests Of
shiloh and Gettysburg and Chicka-
manga.

FRIENDS OF NO LICENSE, BE ACTIVE!
From present information, it appears
that there is some doubts about how
Bethel will vote on the license question.
The Temperance people are making an
effort to save the good reputation of the
town. What would be the result if Beth
Ell voted for license and Danbury voted
for no license? Why, Bethel would play
sharp game and license all the gin
mills at the end of the trolley extension.
What then? Danbury would get dry
and have TO come to Bethel TO drink
What then? Would Danbury people
come down on the trolley and get off at
the Consolidated railroad track and walk
the other mile. No, cir; they would
have the trolley cars running over that
track in no time and never stop until
they brought up at the end of the line.
You may bet your money on that, boysl

THE BEE is very glad to learn that the
dispatch which appeared in the daily pa
pers concerning Rev Henry Davies
playing ball on Sunday with club
composed of members of his congrega-
ton land which was editorially COM
mented on in this paper was false in
every particular. Mr. Davies resigna-
ton was the result Of Ill health. The
item sent to the daily press was evident
ly the creation of some mind on mischief
bent and bound to have sensation at
any price. Such enterprise deserves
only the severest condemnation. Mr.
Davies is an earnest minister of the COS
pei and his good name cannot suffer
from any misrepresentation of this kind.

fair the go-by, this year, but drove eight
pair of cattle, his Devon bull, Proposer,
and cow. a distance of about Is miles,
to be on hand with his handsome stock
and make the acquaintance of the cattle
men in that section. II. B. Terrill of
Woodbury. also had three handsome pair
of Devon cattle at the fair, and both of
these far away visitors were winners of
number of premium ribbons before
they left for home. This year the cattle
did not parade around the track on ae-
count of the dust, but took a circle
around on the grass to get in line, pas
sing up by the secretary's office to the
north part of the grounds, where they
were to be judged. As Monroe was the
only town with 10 pair of cattle in their
string they were of course entitled to the
premium for the best string, without
competition.
DURING THE REMAINDER OF THEDAY
the time was taken up in judging the
merits of the cattle and their strength,
which proceedings were watched with
interest by the farmers. The absence of
the decorated carts, this year, was also
probably caused by the dusty roads.

A GENUINE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

II Old Probs does his duty in sending
along couple Of pleasant days, next
week, the second annual fair and cattle
show, under the auspices of Pohtatuck
Grange, will be a rouser. The fair from
an agricultural standpoint, last year,
was a surprise even to old veterans, and
the members of Pohtatuck Grange were
highly pleased with the result.
This year the fair has been placed on
a more substantial basis. A strong gen.
eral committee has the details in hand,
and everything is working for big and
glorious fair. The old Town hall will
be crowded with the display Of vege-
tables and fancy work, and it will be a
sight which our friends from far and
near must not miss.
Let 1t be borne in mind that the ad-
mission fee is but trifle, 10c, and that
the fair Is to be held next Tuesday and

of which came from relation of Mrs

Turner by an aunt of Mrs Turner, Miss
Hannah E. Bowen, of Brewsters, to

TIE FISH HAD A FAD opoR.

THE FISH HAD A BAD DOOR.
Since the recent dry spell, Albert
Bottoms fish pond has evaporated into
thin air, but it did not take the fish that
were in the pond with it. These re
manned to emit bad odor which has
annoyed the neighbors and caused
Health Officer Stevens to look into the
matter. The pond dried up last week
and on last Thursday Mr. Bottom picked
up quite quantity Of fish. But he did
not get them all and what were left did
smell pretty bad. On Monday the health
officer visited him and told him to COM
plete the job, and Monday night he says
he worked all night in trying to get it in
satisfactory condition, by picking up
what refuse he could and covering up the
remainder with fresh earth. AS the bot
tom of the pond is rather soft he expert
enced some difficulty with his task, but
such smell should not be allowed to
hang around town even if the bottom OF
the pond had to be turned upside down

said that all the other bad men on the
force should be discharged. The po-
lice board said they did not want TO
reappoint RUDE and represented that
the governor demanded it, which is not
true. The police commissioners do not
tell the truth.
There is much complaint among Re-
publicans and citizens generally about
the conduct of police affairs. The law
says that officers shall be paid 500 a
month for the first six months they are
on the force; but the statement recently
published from the city treasurer's Of
fee shows that the commissioners vio-
lated this law and gave their special
Democratic friend, Donahue, ten dollars
a month extra.
Other Democrats are being kept on
the force, in order that they may be
enabled to pay debts they owe TO rela-
tives Of the commissioners.
The commissioners become more I'M
popular every day. Colored people
are arranging a mass meeting TO ex-
press their indignation on account Of
the action of the commissioners. Other
citizens are growing impatient of the
corruption and wrong-doing and de-
mand an explanation OF the policy of
the board.
