 That genial landlord, Andrew Borel- Ii, of the Lincoln house, has good reason to be proud of his substantial caused to rise on the ashes of the old Lincoln house of 1902, which fell in the march ot the flames in the fearful fire of May last. MT Borelli will have the opening of his new hotel on Janu- ary 29, and cordially invites all his friends and patrons to call at that time.

 DRIVER OF WAGON HAS AN EXCITING
 The Standard oil wagon from New Milford met with an accident,' one day last week,,in Bridgewater. While on it's way from New Milford to Bridgewater on the hill near Carson Mead's the wagon began to slip and sliding into the ditch tipped completely over. The driver was thrown off but succeeded in holding the reins so the horses did not run away. The pole and evener were broken. Beside this there was no other damage done. With the assis tance of the neighbors with some tackle the wagon was righted and the driver proceeded on his way.

AN ENJOYABLE CHURCH IINNER.
 The annual dinner of the Young Mems classes of the Congregational Sunday school, taught by Seymour Green and William G. Green, was held, last Friday evening, in the church vestry, and in many respects was the most successful gathering of the kind the classes have held. After an excellent repast served by Mrs B. L. Moore, Seymour Green took the post as chairman. Some exceedingly bright and enter taining speeches were made by the guests of the evening, Rev Robert Car terof Washington, Rev MT Goddard of Salisbury, Nelson B. Mead of Green wich, Rev F. A. Johnson, the pastor of the church, Superintendent Chaun- cey B. Marsh of the Sunday school, William G. Green and others. About 70 were present. Altogether it was a very enjoyable affair, and of the kind that tends to increase the attachment of the young men to the church and its work,

been chosen by the Republicans the
month before, was the scene and re-
suited i'll the nomination of Grove,
Cleveland, governor Of New York and
former mayor of Buffalo, on the sec
ond ballot. Thomas A. Hendricks. of
Indiana, was given the second place.
The 1892 convention, held il the lat
ter part of June, marked the hun
urcdth year of the existence OF the
Democratic party, and resulted in
Cleveland's third nomination, this
time on the first ballot, followed by
his second election. establishing for
him Il record unparalleled in American
politics. y temporary "wigwam" OH

called later, ana another set of dele

memorable feature of the sessions
was tire speech of Bourke Cochran.
the Tammany spokesman, in the midst
of Il furious rain-storm. Inadequate
shelter was afforded by the clumsy

the many crevices, and the delegates
were tired and had refused to listen
to any other speaker. Yet Cochran

ty-third street.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois, the
Bland men and Bryan were the DOM
nant spirits of the convention. 1t was
the oratory of Bryan more than any
thing else that brought him the nomin-
alton. His remarkable speech closed
with these words:
'lf they dare to come out and in the
open defend the gold standard as Il
good thing we shall fight them to the
uttermost. having behind us the pro-
ducing masses of this nation and the
world. Having behind us the COM
n,crcial interests and the labOrinG in
tercsts and all the tOiling masses, we
shall answer their demands for a gold
standard by saying to them: You
shall not press down upon the brow
Hartford against Hugh Il. Scott, a
of labor this crown of thorns; you
shall not cruelty mankind upon Il
cross of gold.'"
The demonstration that followed
was the greatest tribute that had been
rendered to an orator in il political
convention since the speeches Of
Conkling and Garfield sixteen years
before. The standards Of the various
state delegations were torn from their
fastenings and carried about the. hall
in the wake of the banner borne about
by the enthusiastic fellow citizens of
the Nebraskan.

Exiles Far Away.

When round the Christmas festive

That glorious mingled draught is

When friends long absent tell, low

And hand giasps hand, and eyelids fill

OH! in that hour 'twcre kindly DONE

"Forgct not those who're sad tonight

And when he turned his lion-eye this

The Indian shores were lined with
those who watched his couched
crest;
But not to share his glory then, or

Iney bent THEIR gaze upon Ills paul

1t was-oh. how the heart will cheat!
because they thought beyond
His glowing couch lay that Green Isle
of which their hearts were fond;
And fancy brought old scenes of home
IL, rl- tn nnc1, wn11inr nvn
And through each breast pourd many
thought that filled it, like a sigh.
Twas then--'twas then, all warm
with love, they knelt them down
to pray
For Irish homes and kith, and kin
poor exilcs far away!
And then the mother blessed her son,
the lover blessed the maid.
And then the soldier was a child, and
wept the while he prayed,
And then the students pallid cheek
flushed red as summer rose,
And patriot souls forget their grief to
weep for Erin's woes;
And. oh! but then warm vows were
breathed, that come what might
or may.
They'd right the suffering isle they
loved-thosc exiles far away!
And love there were around the board

The few fond faithful joyous hearts,

They pledged-"The girls we left at

ence was held between the general
committee of the engineers and rep
resentatives of the company. In fact.
several such meetings took place, but
the end was amicable and whatever
rumors of possible trouble that may
have been heard are disposed OF.
Nearly all the requests made by the
men in regard to pay and promotions
were granted. Grand Master Stone
was in attendance at the last of the
conferences and at it's conclusion
said:
I'VE settled the differences be-
tween the men and the company with
out any difficulty and our relations
with General Manager Cooper were
very pleasant. Nearly all the re-
quests made by the men were grant
ed, but of course, as in all compro-
misses, the men had to concede some
points. They feel, however, that they
obtained some very important conces-
sions.
"There was no request for a general
increase in wages as we realize at
this time there is a general Tightening
up of finances all over the country
and that this is a poor time to ask for
such a thing. The men are paid about
as anywhere in the west, and so. we
feel very well satisfied. They are
in perfect harmony with the company.

are concerned, we are now practically

where / look for my feed, three crops
of alfalfa are raised, with the average
yield close to four tons an acre. Some
times it runs much higher and there
are cases known where as much nine
tons an acre have been cut. When I

The Best Remedy for Group.


From the Atchison (Kan.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
oma who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by awhoop
from one Of the children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of Group, as a revolver is
sure to be lost in case OF burglars.
There used to be an old fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tulu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost
so much. 1t causes the patient to
throw up the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as o as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

martial that condemned an enlisted
man to dishonorable discharge and i'm
prisonment for desertion. The facts
brought out showed that the soldier
had deserted because of the extremely
cruel manner in which he had been
treated by his comrads, who, follow
ing the example of the youths AT
the military academy, had hazed him
beyond endurance. While this the
general did not regard as a sufficient
excuse for the crime of which the
soldier was guilty, he said it should
be considered in mitigation. He re-
mitted the sentence and ordered the
man to return to duty.

Recent events in Montana have
caused some decidedly astonishing
and remarkable declarations to be
made in the political departments OF
some of the newspapers of the state
and it will be interesting to watch
future events and compare %utterances
to be made hereafter with some OF
those that have reached the public
during the last week or so. Unless
human nature has suddenly and com
pletely changed it is safe to say that
certain estimable and well meaning
gentlemen will wish that they had
been a trifle less impetuous and hasty
in their remarks. 1t may be extremely
awkward for some of them to explain.
