The day broke bright, clear and crisp.
The memories of the last two inaugur-
arion days were sufficient to cause
worry TO anybody with more than a
passing interest in the success Of
Washington's quadrennial show, and
that yesterdays rain caused worry goes
without saying.
But there have been inaugural days
that have come down from generations
past as wonderfully beautiful with
regard to weather conditions. Such
days have been in the minority, for
March is not the pleasantest month IN
the year, even in balmy Washington.

great ocean highways of commerce.

subjects so imperatively demand its

marvellous rapidity in every field of
enterprise and endeavor, until we
have become foremost in nearly
all the great lines of inland trade.

this is true. our American mer-

declining, until it is now lower both
in per centage of tonnage and num-
ber of vessels employed, than it
was prior to the civil war. Com
mendable progress has been made
of late years in the upbuilding of
the American navy, but we must
supplement these efforts by pro-

A GOOD CITIZEN HAS THE RIGHT TO PRO

 Does it ever occur to people who vio- late the law that in 20 doing they are trampling on the rights and privileges of the law-abidipg? Who is it that makes the law? Is it not the majority of the people, by their representatives?
 The law of the commonwealth is the expression of the will of the people. The law Is the practical rule of conduct which embodies the..common ser SC and moral conviction of the controlling power of the community. Obedience to the law is the simplest duty of every citizen, be- cause every one is bound by the law. The law is made for the greatest good of all. It Is a common and mutual bene fit. It is a rule of conduct which every good citizen holds sacred for the sake of his own greatest good as we'll as for the good of others. The law insures the safety and happiness of every one who obeys it, by punishing those who violate it. The law is the foundation of government and government, in this country at least, is a mutual agreement to live together in peace and harmony. When a man vio. lates the law he breaks the social com. pact; and he deserves and ought to suf fer the penalty of the law, because he has wronged his neighbor and offended against the moral sense of the commun ity.

THE VILLAGE AND VICINITY.
 The funeral of Egbert Marsh was largely attended on Friday last. Servi- ces were held at the Congregational church, Rev F. A. Johnson officiating.
 The funeral services of Mrs Ruth Can field, relict of the late William N. Can field, were held on Sunday last. She had been long tine sufferer and died with dropsy.
 It is reported that M. J. Gordon is to close his store in Mygatt's block, Bank street.
 Frederick A. Lake is feeling all broken up over the loss of his little dog, Borax. Some miscreant poisoned the poor little ssdorg.'
 Sleighing in this locality is played out aud London fogs were the leading role for two or three days. The weather is very trying to sick patients. Many children and some adults are confired to their he mes with the measles and humps. The time has arrived for the re-opening of the schools, their vacations being over, but owing to the above named epidemics it is question if they will all start up at present.
 Mrs Hermann Schoverling from New York is stopping short time with her son, Carl F. Schoverling, in this village.
 Tobacco buyers are now very busy here, asserting and packing the weed.
 Our representatives, Turney Soule and George H. Jackson, started for Hartford, Tuesday morning, with bouquets in their coats. We shall soon be looking for more laws and better ones, better roads and less tuburculosis among the cattle. A heap of responsibility rests on the shoulders Of our representatives, but they were chosen to make crooked things straight and dafkness light before them. We bsve fnll faith thas they will do all these things for they will have an eye on two years hence.

THOSE OTHER AYERS.

The J. C. Aver Co.,, of Lowell, Mass, has no monopoly of the name of Aver, and does not wish to have. But it is sometimes unfortunate, that the world wide familiarity with the name of the J. c. Aver Co.,, makes people jump at the conclusion that there are no other Ayers. This is especially unfortunate when these other Ayers are in the medicine business and their goods get mixed up in the pcpu- lar mind with the record and reputation that has been built up by the J. c. Aver Co.,, in the course of half century. Of course it is not the fault of these other Ayers, that people make such mistakes. to the J. c. Aver Co.,, letters asking ali
 sorts of questions about these other Ayers which the J. c. Aver Co.,, cannot answer because it does not know who these other Ayers are. As case in
 point, some industrious people are establishing agencies for the sale of Dr Ayers Pastilles. People taking agencies
 have to buy goods and pay money, and
 somehow the golden profits (so the agents say) do not materialize. This Dr Aver is one of the other Ayers. The J.
 c. Aver Go. does not manufacture pas
 titles, does not establish agencies nor collect money in this way. The only
 thing, therefore, that the J. c. Aver Go.
 can do, is to publish the fact that it is
 some other Aver engaged in the pastille
 business. The J. c. Aver Go. manufac- lures the world famous Sarsaparilla, Cherry Pectoral, Ayers Pills, Hair Vigor and Ague Cure. Nothing else. Perhaps in case of doubt as to the identity of the firm, it might be well to write to the J. c. Aver Go. before taking an agency or paying out money to some other Aver.

A FEW REMARKS AS TO THE PROPOSED
 CHANGES IN THE VICINITY OF zoAR BaIDGE

When anything interesting comes along, we always want to s'put our foot in it." Henry Ward Beecher said that be never saw 1.-two in love but he wished that he was one of>them!" We are not so selfish as that. We remember pretty well for the last half century that the vi einity of Zoar Bridge has been many times an interesting place in consequence of the ''mad Housatonic" and the low outlay of the river road by our forefath. CTS. Immediate necessity was the law then, except that in the layout of road away from rivers they started for the top of every hill instead of going around it, not thinking that the bail of kettle was the same distance, up or down. Now the dam to be built to generate electrical power and may be, for other purposes, will necessitate the building of road for the public where it should have been
 
 built in the first place, above high water mark. If built above Zoar Bridge there will be no necessity of raising the bridge, if below the bridge, 20 feet certain will be required. If the dam is built 30 feet high it will set back water to Bennett's Bridge in great ice floods, Samuel Post thinks. The fall from tide water to Ben nett's Bridge is 180 feet. The difference of a mile or so in the building above or below the Bridge, is this: Above tue Bridge it would probably be protection to the bridge, and the water and ice would cover the plain and set back to Loveland's Mill, on Half Way River. If the dam is built below Zoar Bridge John Stowe's place. French's blacksmith shop, the Dillon place, the Methodist church and cemetery, will be useless except for the purpose of the builders of the dam. So also would be the Bassett place, and k. 5. Hinman's. But Of course we have no suggestions to make as to location ex- cept to submit to the inevitable, and re- move the s.bonea" thar shakespeare's curse forbids. George Bradley and Abi- iah, his brother, removed some 90 years ago, their dear ones remains to high land in Half Way River. George Bradley often said that the cemetery would sometime be washed out.
