 We have a library of a few thousand volumes and awhile ago member called on the librarian for "The Heavenly Twins" ." and was told that another mem. Der had taken it away to keep 1t out, 'as 1t was not fit ng and proper book to be in a public library" The rules of the association impose Q severe fine upoA any one who takes q book in that way. But in this case the self constituted censor has been left to go "scott free" The in- quirinx member mentioned the fact to Rev Mir Carter, who said he had the work in his owm library and would gladly loan 1t to him to read, which he did. Those who have read the book well knew there is not a village In New England where some pure, innocent girl has not silently suffered all the torture which befsll two of the characters described therein, Edith Beale and Evsdne Fealingay. Do those who object to the book believe that fath- CTS should inculcate loose set of moral for their sons, while demanding the se- verest moral purity for their daughters, when they we'll know that the sins of the fathers, by the law of heredity, will de- scend Rpon the children to the end of time, or extinction of the family? h a powerful plea for family purity, with vivid object lessons, unfit and improper to put into the hands of the rising gener- ation?

OXFORD.
LOTS OF LAW CASES.


 Oxford is getting quite a reputation for courts. Last week there were two. Samuel Dexter was arrested for assault on c. A. Perry, generally known ss "Cap. Perry," and though there was no other evidence but that of the two prin- cipals, Dexter was fined S7 and costs, amounting to SIS, all of which he paid. The other case was that of one McCon- ley, who sued Edward Tomlinson for ar- rears of wages. The case was adjourned until Saturday, February1.
 Miss Bessie Cable visited few days ia New Haven with relatives, last week.
 Miss Lizzie Bronson, who has recently graduated from the Bridgeport Training School for Nurses, is visiting at her old home with Miss Jennie White.
 Mrs Caroline Bronson is with her sis- ter, Mrs Merritt Russell, in Bradleyville, Middlebury, for about 8 week. Several ice houses about town have been filled. A. B. Hinman and s. c. Sanford filled their houses, Monday, from Sanford's pond, with nice clean ice, but only about eight inches thick.
 The young people are having fine times now at skating frolics, each evening.
 Several from here attended the Chris tian Endeavor Union meeting in An sonia, Monday night.
 The farmers in this town can raise large pigs when they set about it, as the fact that s. 0. Sanford recently killed one that weighed 540 and William A. Downs killed one but little over one year old that weighed 525 pounds, prove.
 Philo Reed, formerly of Stepney, who has been very i'll with dropsy at his daughters, Mrs George Hawley, died, last week, at the age of 80 years. The remains were taken to Bridgeport, Satur- 1 day, for burial.

Better Than a Curb.

Down near Goldsboro, N. c., I turned
in from the dusky highway and asked
a native sitting in front Of his cabin if
could get a drink of water He said
could, and l walked with him to a hole
in the ground a few yards away. He
didn't have to go down over fifteen feet.
and there was water to the depth of
five feet in the hole. 1t was neitaer
stoned up, nor was there a curb arou2 d
it, and as there We're several children
around and the well was near the door

around this we'll"

And wouldn't a curb lessen the
chances -

of lumber and time. I've got a cheaper
way. Look at that
He pointed to a pole stuck on end in
the well, and while I was trying to make
out what it was for, he said:

they tumble in, and it beats curb all

MR. HUNTINGTON SPEAKS.
He Tells About the Kentucky Charter
and It's Objects.
Has Something Not Complimentary to
Say About Sutro and
His Methods.

The following dispatch from Louis
vile. Ky, appeared in the Examiner"
yesterday:
LOUISVILLE (Ky.), Jan. &c. P.
Huntington has come into the public
prints to say some very unpleasant
things about Mayor Adolph Sutro of
San Francisco. A few days ago the
| "Courier-Journar printed a portion of
the appeal Of Mayor Sutro, as spolzes-
man for the Committee of Fifty, asking
the Legislature to repeal the Southern
Pacific charter.
After reading the Courier Journal
Senator Goebel promptly introduced
such a bill. Mr.. Huntington read the
r"Courier- Journag' and has sent in
reply the following card, which will be
published tomorrow CTuesday) morn
ing:
New York, January 25th.
1 find in your issue of the 22d an ar
ticle in reference to the Southern Pa
cific Company's charter, and also some
extracts from Adolph Sutro's address.
There is a little truth in it where it says
that G. p. Huntington and his associ-
ates procured the charter for the ex-
press purpose of bringing it to Cali
fornia and the other States in which
they have interests.
That so far is correct. We wanted to
get charter in some State where the
laws were stable and the people were
rot liable to be changed by the action
OF such demagogues and charlatans as
Adolph Sutro, who is figuring in this
matter. We have a great many small
railroads, and we thought we could
economic very much by exchanging
the shares of these roads into a great
parent organization like the Southern
Pacific Company. We did this, and ex-
changed the shares for the shares of
these small constituent companies,
which was, equal to the economic work
ing under q consolidation.
think we have some thirty or forty
small companies, the stock Of which is
owned by the Southern Pacific Com
pany. which allows them to be worked
as one company, thus saving the ex-
pense of many boards of directors and
many other expenses. l suppose there
are a couple of thousand shareholders
who have exchanged their shares in the
other companies for those of the South
ern Pacific Company.
There is nothing wrong about it, and it
is all clean and above board
| This fellow Sutro wanted to have this
company extend the Market-street rail
way system out to what is known as
Seal Rocks or the Cliff House, in San
Francisco, some two and a, half or three
miles from the west end of the Market
street road at First avenue. and carry
passengers from the front of the city
on the bay Of San Francisco, out to the
shores of the sea, into a network which
| he had set for catching the money of the
people, including bars, gambling-rooms
and all kinds and sorts of show places;
a distance of eight miles over the hills.
for 3 cents, hoping that for every
passenger we brought there he would
get many times the amount of s

cessant mental exertion could not fail to
have its effect on her nervous system
At one time she found herself tired out
and weak from her uninterrupted work;
she became nervous and incapable of
work; she even saw nervous prostration
staring her in the face. The general
toning up that her system needed so
badly she found in Paine's celery COM
pound. To-day she is perfectly well and
strong again, busy as ever with her
brain and pen, and grateful to Paine's
celery compound for the timely help
when failure and trouble and despair
seemed about to close round her and
shut her off from everything that was
dear.

brain or a shooting pain over the eyes,
which warns me that my energy is flag

celery compound. Scarcely a day passes

it. For neuralgia, indigestion, nervous
prostration and blood disorders, / am
convinced that there is nothing like
Paine's celery compound. I am not sur.
prised that physicians use it in difficult
cases."
Paine's celery compound is found to
best supply the great need of studious,
sedentary people. Its extensive use by
brain workers, both men and women,
suffering from sleeplessness, indiges-
tion or other effects of a deficient nerve
force, shows its ability to feed tired.
emacfated, nervous tissues. Nothing
else has ever possessed anything like
the power of Paine's celery compound
to restore a healthy nervous tone to the
entire body, and to thoroughly cleanse
the blood. School teachers, professional
men, newspaper men, ministers, public
officials, men whose daily outlay of vi
talfty, because. Of hard, trying, anxious
work, is excessive find renewed
strength, not only of the nerves, but
through their healthy action, of the en-
tire body, in Paine's celery compound.
Its use shortly dispels headaches, rheu-
matte pains, dyspepsia, heart trouble,
general debility and languor, and all
other outward signs of the grave mis-
chief that comes from disordered nerves

Lord Bromwe1l,s Piety.

The late Bishop of Winchester is said
to have possessed among his many
other qualities, that of sarcasm. A
good story is told of a retort he made
to the late Lord Bramwell, who, meet
ing him on his way back to his room
to take off his robes after reading
prayers in the House of Lords, apollo
gized for having been absent from the
ceremony. when 1 kneel down it gives
me palpitation of the heart said Lord
Bramwell, ''and it would not be re-
spectful for me to sit or stand while
your lordship was praying" Bishop
Thorold, perhaps knowing almost as
much about the old baron's sanctity as
did Lord Bramwell himself, answered in
measured tones: pray do not men
ton it, Lord Bramwell. I am sure
your lordship can be equally devout
whether you are standing, kneeling or
sitting-I will not say lying" The play
ful old judge afterwards inquired who
had read prayers that afternoon, and.
on being told, remarked, with a sparkle
in his eyes, Hes a sharp fellow!"-

cost to haul the passengers from the

1 said to him that there was COM
pany running from First avenue out to
his place, and running at a loss of from
$500 to 800 a month; that we could not
afford to extend the line then, but would
do so as soon as we could get fair re-
turns for the money we would need to
invest in building it. He said then.
showing much temper, that if we did not
build the road at once he would fight US
in Washington and everywhere else,
which he has been doing in his usual
nasty way.
This Adolph Sutro is the fellow who
hung about Washington many years
ago selling shares of the notorious Sutro
Tunnel scheme in Nevada With the
money that he got in this way he bought
up large amounts of land in San Fran
cisco, said to be more than one-tenth
the acreage of the city limits, and this
land has now become very valuable,
making him, they say, the richest man
in San Francisco, whilst the folks who
bought the shares got nothing out Of
them.
L
one of the worst men in the world.
The men who assisted me in getting
the charter and allowed their names to
be used in that connection were honor
able men and their fellow-citizens very
well know that such men as Henry d.
McHenry, General John Echols and
their associates would not do anything
dishonorable. They knew what the
purpose was, and the charter has never
been used for any other purpose.
There has been much money saved to
the people of California by the CONSOLE
dation, SO to speak, of these many frag-
mentary roads into one organization,
and it has been made possible to oper-
ate the lines at the minimum cost, so
that last year the company received an
average of less than 2 cent per mile for
passengers in the State Of California,
and less than II mills per ton per mile
for freight, and that, too, in a State
where the expenses of running a rail-
road are more than in any other State
and where the fuel costs more than
eight times what it did on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad.
I speak of that particularly, because I
used to be connected with it, and Mr.
ingalls,, the worthy President of that
company, said that he was paying only
go cents a ton, while the coal in Cali
fornia, I think, costs about 50 per ton.
Yours truly c. P. HUNTINGTON.
