ing feature of which was their extreme candor and honesty, as distinguished from the ordinary political harangue. He was editor of the Democrat, in 1854 while W. W. Van Antwerp was publish CT, and again in 1858 and '59, while H. B. Shurter, now prosperous farmer in Jefferson, was publisher.
 In November, 1860, hewas elected cir cult judge, the district comprising Cass and Berrien counties, on peoples ticket, his we'll known honesty and in- tegrity securing him large support from people irrespective of political affiliations. His opponent was George s. CIapp, of Berrien, on the republican ticket.
 For convenience in attending terms of court in both counties, he removed to Niles soon after assuming the duties of circuit judge. He remained there un- til 1872, when he resigned the position of judge, it never having been a place much to his liking, and entered into a law partnership with Charles 5. Fair child, removing to Chicago. The firm for time did large collection busi ness, and was prosperous, but meeting with financial reverses the partnership was dissolved, and MT Blackman en. gagged in law business on his own ac count, and practiced until his death.

Asheville, N. C., Jan. 15-Asheville in winter is not a warm place by any means. Here we are some 2,500 feet above sea level, way up among the highest moun- tans east of the Mississippi river. The cold northwest winds sweep down here on their journey across the continent, and the mercury drops before them. The redeeming feature is that the air loses much of it's moisture and becomes com paratiyely dry. But, while we do have our cold waves here in common with the rest of the country, we also have much enjoyable weather in between whiIes; the atmosphere being light, the sun at the midday hours has considerable power, and the air on the sunny, sheltered slopes of the mountains is most genial and warm. It is so hilly here that the drain age is most excellent. Go in whatever direction you may here in the city there is hill-short and steep. There is not a level street in all Asheville, The court house is on a high hill in the center of the town and all the principal streets
 lead up to it.
 It would amuse you greatly to see some of the teams coming in from the surrounding cOuntryrsome from points at least 20 miles away. Mule teams are the favorites, and the animals plod along patiently with dOwncast eyes and dr0Op- ing ears, while the driver encourages them now and then with q good, sub, stantial whip and 8 cry of "C0me up!' Then there are steers, sometimes yOke6 and sometimes harnessed. The harness
 would make you smile, as 1 have seen it on the teams-canVas collars and back saddles, chain traces and ClOtheS-lines for reins. Farming down this way is hard business and the crops are scant. The cultivated land lies mostly in patches, not regular fields such as you are fam iliar with ID level country and there arc many of these patches on the mountains, some on the very summits. There is a farm-h house distinctly visible from the square at AshevilIe, located on the top of what is called the "TOwn Range There it is, whitewashed and very sight. Iy with quite little clearing about it-a nice place for tourists to spend a few hours or for summer visitors to remain a few weeks, but what q spot to live the 1 year round, especially in the winter sea son when the wind blows hard enough to dislodge the hou e from it's very fOunda' tions! It reminds me very much of the l North Pole it is almost as inaccessible. A young man from Chicago staying here spent the entire forenoon climbing
 up to this house aud returning; 80 you
 see, hiliy country is fine for hePlth and
 pleasure, but Insuited for business.
 The tourists and health seekers seem to
 make much of the rincipaI business ot
 Ashcvlle. There are several large ho- tels and dog 9ns of boarding houses. l Hundreds of colored servants are re- uuired In these boarding houses. The
 boarders eat up tons of produce, which
 is brought in from the surrounding
 country. They use many livery teams, and shus bring a great source of revenue
 to the stables. Many families have
 moved in here permanently, and rent or own their homes. These, of course, live on their incomes, which are spent ] ight here for the good of the city. So you can get some idea of A,heville and ite surroundings.

Conductor Barton had a good chance to show what 6 good nurse he is, on the down trip of the early train on Tuesday morning of this week. A man boa ded the train at Brookfield Junction who had evidently seen too much of Danbury fire water during the night and the heat of .the car set him off into the first stages of tremens, just after the train left Botsford The genial conductor proved himself an excellent nurse and with the use of fresh air and cold water managed to keep his passenger from rolling on the floor and safely landed him in Bridgeport. The man was a pitiful sight in bis besotted condition, and good temperance object lesson.

There are thousands of men who, when they go to buy shoes, set their price limit at $2. They know that $2 should buy stylish and serviceable shoe, one that looks we'll and wears well. Many times they are disappointed in the quality of their purchase when proven by wear. That is because they bought at the wrong store. At Mollan's, in Bridgeport, they make speciality of this grade of shoes, carrying 16 styles, embracing all fashions of toe and all weights. Every pair is warranted and they claim their $2 line to be the largest in Connecticut.

REDUCTIONS THAT REDUCE.

As will be seen by referring to the an- nouncement of the c. H. Bennett Shoe Co.,, 367 Main street, Bridgeport, which appears in another column, they propose to make trading lively at their store during the month of February. They certainly have taken 8 method which should know no defeat; i. e., slashing prices right and left until it would seem to knowers of values ruinous in the ex- treme. But then that matters not to the readers of THE BEE, so long as they are benefited thereby.

NEW SILVER CERTIFICATES.
Something Artistic in Design to
Please the l6 to Hustlers.

Washington, July 1.-THE first de-
livery Of silver certificates OF the new
design, approved by the secretary of the
treasury, for the issue Of 1885, was made
today by the bureau Of engraving and
printing to the treasurer of the United
States. The denomination delivered
was the one dollar. 1t is beautiful
change from the old conventional bank
note design. The design for the face of
this certificatee is by Will H. Low, who
has taken for his subject, History In
structing Youth"
1t is composed of the figure Of a fe-
male and at her side is youth to whom
she is outlining the history Of the nation.
A birdseye view of the city of Washing
ton from Washington heights. showing
the Potomac river, the Washington
monument the capitol and the new con-
gressional library building distinctly, is
in the back ground. On the right hand
of this design is an open book contain
ing the first clause Of the constitution.
Around the bOarder are engraved the
names Of many of the great men who
have figured consDicuously in the his
tory of the nation, including statesmen,
warriors, scientists. inventors and au-
thOrs. The back of the note contains
the portraits of President and Mrs.
Washington, surrounded by beautiful
scroll and lathe work. This note was
submitted to many of the leading bank
ers in New York and to others in all
parts Of the country and has been uni
versally pronounced one of the most
beautiful executed notes ever issued by
the government. besides affording an
account Of the fine and elaborately en-
graved work the greatest security pos
sible against counterfeits.
