JUDGE RORABACK HANDICAPPED.

Notwithstanding the fact that Judge Alberto T. Roraback has never had de- cision reversed by higher court, four years ago he WAS removed from the bench of the Court of Common Pleas of Litch6eld county by methods which it is unnecessary to-day to denounce; un- necessary because nearly every person who was instrumental in that removal has since sincerely regretted it and in fact is heartily ashamed of that transac- ton itself and also is ashamed of being identified or connected with it.
 The action of the House and Senate on the 3 l inst is a fnll and complete vindication of Judge Roraback. Only two dissenting votes out of 169 votes cast in the House on the 3d inst. shows that not only Republicans but Demo- crats were pleased to vindicate Alberto T. Roraback, of North Canaan, and elect him Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Litchfield County for four years from April l, 1897. One of the dissenting votes was cast by rank Bryan man. The Senate unanimously concurred with the House in it's choice of Mir Roraback as Judge of said court.
 When the NEWS went to press on the evening of the 3d inst. 1t had not re- ceived notice of the Senate's action but felt assured it would concur with the House. During the past week Judge Roraback has received congratulations from far and near. One congratulation and compliment which is highly prized comes from 8 prominent Democratic attorney who said, "'Bert', you are the best Judge of the Court of Common Pleas that Litchfeld county ever had. "
 The Hartford Courant of March 4.h gives the following report of the action taken by the House and Senate on the 3d inst:
 The committee on judicial nomina- tions reported favorably on the nomina' ton of Alberto T. Roraback for Judge of the Litchfield County Court of Com. mon Pleas. On ballot he received 167 out of 169 votes.
 There was an unfsvorable report on the appointment of Arthur D. Warner ! (dem ] for Judge of the Litchfeld Coun. | ty Court of Common Pleas and the nom ination was indefinitely postponed, s judge having been elected.
 When Judge Roraback entered there was more applause. Mir Beckwith oi New London asked the chair, in behal of the minority, to extend congratula tions to the judge. In complying tht speaker added the congratulations O. the majority and also of the speaker, wht belonged to neither the majority nor tn, minority.
 l The Senate in concurrence with th, House, elected Alberto T. Rorabsck Judge of the Court of Common Plea for Litchfield county.

Death of Abram Ferris.

Abram Ferris, the Syrian peddler, aged about 30 years. died of pleuro- pneumonia last Friday afternoon at a wood choppers cabin near Judge Rora- backs cottage at Twin Lakes. Early on Saturday morning Undertaken Hum- phrey and assistant proceeded to the cabin and brought the body to Mir Humphreys undertaking rooms in Ca- naan. At ? o'clock Sunday afternoon the remains wero conveyed to the lowe r cemetery where the burial service was conducted by the Rev F W. Barnett The bearers were Lewis Rhoades, Flu gene T. Rowe, Charles Rodemeyer, II. D. Reed, F. N. Brown, w. H. Emmons.
 Abram Ferris will be mourned by all who knew him. He had peddled small wares in this section for year or more. and had made many friends by his up right dealing ard his genial and cheery manners and little deeds of kindness. Although he died among strangers and in a rude cabin. the attendance of over fifty Canaan people at his burial attest. ed the estee m in which he was held in this town.
 But little is known of his history. He had frequently said that he came from Jerusalem, where his wife is now living, and that he intended to visit his native place this spring and bring his wife tc this country. It is said that he had two brothers who resided in New York about year ago but who returned recently tc their native land.

Badly Used UD.

Word reaches us from Clayton that on Tuesday afternoon Ed. Williams (oolor ed) was found by one of his sons lying on the floor of his house in an uncou- ~cious condition, having bled profusely from two wounds on the head and body. A bloody axe is reported to have been on the premises but there is no suspi- cion as to who the assailant was.
 Williams is a drinking man and very quarrelsome when under the influence of liquor, and good many fights have lately taken place on his premises. His family were all away from home on Tuesday at the time of the encounter, being at the home of Graham Johnson, Mrs Williams father.

The man who eats because he is hungry is. thus far. on level with the brutes. The man who stops eating the moment his hunger is appeased is the wise man. Nature needs no more food than she calls for. Continued excess brings about indigestion or dyspepsia, with loss of fl ssh, strength. sleep, am- bition and mental power, and an ac- emulation of aches, pains and many dangerous local maladies
 The stomach now can do nothing alone We must appeal to some artifici- ally digested food which can also digest other foods. That is to say, we must use the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect is prompt and cheering. The chronic pain and distress ceases. Appe tite presently revives. Flesh and yigor gradually comes back, and the sufferer recovers.
