If the free-holders at and near
Letart will lease their lands, as
they ought to, there are parties
who will put a we'll down for oil
whereabouts. There is this about
it, if there is oil there the people
ought go after and get it now, that
they may enjoy the benefit of it
during their own life time. If
they don't enjoy it in this world
they need hardly expect it in the
next. They will be too far away.
One word about the grumblers
we hear, here and there, So much
have we heard from them we have
almost become exasperated at
times. We meet up with many
who are seemingly natural born"
grumblers, just as so many men
are natural born" fools. Grumb-
ling seems to be constitutional

disposition to die of consumption

tions have hooked, spit and cough.
ed themselves entirely away. We
don't like to deny any man harm
less luxury, consequently have
made up our minds to overlook
matters, be easy and allow this class
of our fellow-citizens the greatest
advantage to indulge in their fa-
vorite dish. The noise they make,
like the screeching of horse fid-
die, is unpleasant but harmless
These idiosyncraoies are in fact not
Indigenous, we suppose, but we
find them wherever we go, and
there can never anything occur
that they cannot find fault with
and vastly improve. We know of
some men who we do believe, if
they were to die and go "up yond-

the arrangement of the Mansion in
the Skies and suggest some i'm
provement on it. Go and get them
to tell you precisely what will
please them and they will grumble
at your work after it is completed
Place the daintiest dish before
them, and you've got the very
thing they don't want. Nominate
one of the purest and best men for
official position, and you have put
the very man on the ticket who will
be beaten, but nominate anybody
else and you have done precisely
the same thing, and you will hear
the same speech whined out in the
Same dolorous strain. They don't
mean anything of course, and are
not worth minding; they have no
opinion, in fact, don't know what
an opinion is. He is tiresome, but
let him alone, he can no more help
grumbling, it seems, than the fell
low who has the "chills and fever"
can help shaking, and therefore is
entitled to kindliest sympathy. 1t
may be these grumblers are ne
cessity, who knows, if such thing
can be, and serve to rouse up and
stir into action that still more rep
rehensible class, who are too lazy
to grumble or do anything but to
sit around on store boxes and snore.
Last winter many farmers ne
elected to prepare proper shelter
for their sheep and lost many
lambs, in season thereby. They
should not be guilty of such laches
this winter.
DIR. Dave Sayre, of Hartford
City, and his brother, DR.. Fisher
Sayre, of Letert, will open up a
drug store in New Haven, and
throw their doors open to the pub
lie in few days.
One thing New Haven needs is a
good public inn.
Capt. E. e. Varian has gone to
Pittsburg, and will be with the tow
boat Winifrede. The Oneida is in
command of his brother, @. II in
the Ravenswood and Nliddleport
trade, with flags flying.
