RAISED WITHOUT RUM.

THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS of Feb. 6, 1902, published quite lengthy article concerning the late Mir and Mrs Ephriam Hanchett and also their daughter, Mrs Mary H. Hunt, who has done such a grand work for the tenn perance cause. A further illustration ot Mir Hanchett's temperance principles is given in the following paragraphs copied from the pamphlet entitled Ninety Years of Noble Living" which records the speeches made and letters and poems read at the celebration of Mrs Hanchett's ninetieth birthday which occurred December 20, 1894:
 At one time MT Hanchett had 8 new frame forge to be raised, after the man. ner of those days, when the framework of the building was made and lifted by sheer brute force to it's place. Rum had always been 2 very important feature of raising building, and the men who were invited to come from fal and near to help in the work always ex pected to be treated to all the rum they
 
 should be no rum used in raising this new building. The community, which consisted largely of his employees, or Ranized against this decision, what would now be called ''strikes "--and declared that no man should lift a hand toward raising the building if rum were not furnished.
 About this time Father Matthew, the great Irish apostle of temperance, had won thousands of the Celtic race tc total abstinence, and two of these Irish men, named Ryan, had come to this country, and in an adjoining town had built factory for the manufacture o cloth, in which large number of mer were employed. These men were al picked and pledged as far as possible tc total abstinence.
 Mir Hanchett went to these young Irish manufacturers and told the story of his forge. They said: "Mr Hsnchett our men will go to your help, and with out any rum." When the day fol raising the forge came, the sulky noun tain workmep, leaning on fences and standing in corners, saw two wagon loads of men drawn by four horses drive into the place, the men waving their hats in the air and shouting "The forge shall go up. and no rumP
 Tho young Puritan wife Mrs Han chett) bore her part right royalty by furnishing sumptuous hot dinner o every possible viand, without any al coholic liquors, of which the men par took after the forge was raised.
 The forge above alluded to was prob ably the forge at the outlet of Lake Wangum on Canaan mountain, and tho young Irish manufacturers were th' Ryan Brothers who had 8 factory il Norfolk.
 It should be remembered that tn. above mentioned forge was raised priol to the first temperance movement evel made in this country, and when Lymar Beecher preached his first sermon ol Temperance" at Litcbfield, Conn. where he started his first temperance society, Ephriam Hanchett gladly ac cepted the position of his first vice president.

The Courant's Discovery.

The Hartford Courant has at last dis covered that the Constitutional con- vention is not under the control of the Hartford Courant. The vete taken in the convention last Tuesday on the question of town equality" makes the Oourant "squeal like stuck pig. " Pardon the unrefined expression of the illustration, but it seems fitting inas- much as the cities have been accused of wanting to play the hog, to rule or ruin. The long and threatening editorial in the Courant of yesterday reveals or unmasks the position of the cities and of the Courapt. It also brings to mind the following item in the Norfolk cor respondense in the CONNECTICUT WEST xRN NEWS of October 31. 1901:
 It is expected at the present writing that Q union caucus will be held for the purpose of selecting delegate for the constitutional convention: Already the Hartford Courant has kindly nominat- ei our delegate. Norfolk, however, is not alone in her misfortune, for the Courant has nominated most of the delegates from the towns in Litchfeld county. It now looks as if the Courant intended to control that convention. If SO. we shall have the Hartford Courant" constitution instead of Con- nocticut.
