 l William O. Eldridge goes to Pittsfield, Mass, Monday next to work for the Union Tea Co.,, having formerly been in business for it some eight years. His wife, and son who is now attending school in Stafford Springs, follow him later. He has greatly improved and ex- tensively repaired the premises and dwell- ing-house he has occupied at Eldridge Mills for the two years last past, and the many friends of the family in town regret the necessity that compels their removal.
 Speaking of the granges and of the liq- uor question, the Hartford correspondent of the Springfield Republican has this to say:
 It is possible that the granges and other social organizations that are now pretty | we'll developed among farmers will do as much as any one thing to improve this situation. They furnish intellectual stim- I 1IIIa al manners. They are thus a civilizing in- f1uence in the sense above indicated, and an admirable substitute for the illegal drinking place. It does not follow that the young grangers do not drink every thing from cider to whisky, but they have in the grange and what is connected with 1t, directly or indirectly, wholesome in- tellectual diversion and something to soften manners and refine the mind. If there are times left in which they must drink in company, it is so much better to do this respectfully and legally than sur reptitiously in low company, that it is hard to see how those who look at all sides of the question can stand so stoutly , as some of them do for the prohibition law under the local option privilege.
