Cattle .Shipped,

Previous to the cold snap, there was
about q carload or two of cattle at the
OIL mill nearly ready for shipment to mar
sket, bat the sudden cold wrought scriou,
Einjury to them in setting them back in fat-
making. Mr.. S. L. James, the owner, was
however, ableto select 26 head which ho
shipped Saturday. Already the herd is inn
provedey the removal Of these large an,lac-
gresslve animals from the feeding trouphs
MT. James has also sent back to Angola
50 head of young cattle, his experience
oe1ng that it does not pay to feed such as
thirst goes into their growth before they
begin to put on: flesh. We hope the cattle
VIII nave no moro backsets, and that the
experiment Of feeding wall Prove an entire
success, 80 that other .cattle-owners will

Herman Sachse, who has been on trial at Middletown the past two weeks for the murder of Bertram Hotchkiss, In the town of Klllingworth, last August, was acquitted by the jury on Tuesday. MT. Hotchkiss was shot and instantly killed at his home in the evening. His wife, who acknowledged at the trial of having been crimInally intimate with Sachse, was the principal witness against him. She claimed that he shot her husband through an open window. The jury thought that the fatal shot was fite from within the house, and therefore acquitted Sachse.

The public commendation and support Of THE @ REPUBLICAN were never more general and cor dial than they have been in the past year.
 They inspire its conductors to endeavor con- stantly to make 1t better.
 The cheapening Of some of the clements in the cost of newspaper production, together with a generous public patronage, have enabled THE REPUBLICAN to enlarge it's outlay for brains
 It's total expenditures steadily increase, and it's readers are now receiving a richer return for their money than ever.
 THE REPUBLICAN is in no sense a class news |. paper. It appeals to all sections Of the com munity, excepting alone the low and vicious. Tt is keenly alive to the new problems which - attend the progress Of civilization It recog- nizes the immense value of corporate combina- tions Of capital in improving social conditions
 But it also appreciates that the greatest dan- ger to individual freedom and democratic gov- ernment lies in the unrestricted operations of ', aggregated wealth. It conceives one Of its chief missions, as a public newspaper, to be the advocacy Of the rights of the plain people. THE REPUBLICAN reports the news of Western L New England especially Western Massachu- setts, with the utmost thoroughness. Its gen. 2. eral news service is of the best It devotes liberal attention to literature and the arts, to social, industrial and scientific questions. ?. THK SUNDAY REPUBLICAN contains each week numerous magazine features Of great interest and value.
 THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN presents a carefully edited and arranged review Of the news and tho choicest editorial, literary and other fea- lures of the Daily and Sunday. It is invalua- ble to New Englanders away from home and for all others who want a wholesome, interest ing and helpful family newspaper.
