Six DAYS Enough.

have been observing things for
many years and I never knew a man
to prosper who habitually worked on
Sunday. Some men will spend day
or two in town during the week and
then they will feel that they are so
far behind that they must plant corn
OIL Sunday to catch up. The man who
gets a dollar by fraud will lose it and
another with it. The man who gains
by laboring on Sunday may make the
temporary worldly gains, but will lose
that which is infinitely more valuable
to him than all of this worlds goods.

FREE DELIVERY.
Union City People Are Vigorously
Protesting Against II.
Especial to Democrat.)

Washington, April 23.-The order of
the postomce department extending
free delivery from the Naugatuc1
postoffice to Union City seems TO nave
stirred up hornets nest. Congress
man Sperry has been overwhelmed
with telegrams from citizens OF Union
City protesting against the abolishing
of the Union City posIoffice. 1t is
claimed at the postottice department,
however, that the original petition for
this service contained Il request for
the change of the postoffice to sta
ton of Naugatuck. The inspector
who visited Naugatuck reported in fa-
vor of making Union City station,
with authority to issue money orders,
and sell stamps! The only difference
would be that no letters could be mail
ed OF received at the office, ibut to make
up for this there would be two denver
les a day and two collections.
The order has, however, created such
furore that it has been rescinded for
the present by the department. The
result will probably be that Union
City will not get free delivery for
many years to come, unless some
agreement can be reached The re.
port of the inspector is strongly
against free delivery if Union City is
not made sub-station, and his report
is decidedly against the curriers' start
ing from the Union City postoffice. In
all matters of this kind the department
will follow the report of the inspector,
but they have agreed to wait and see
what the people really want
This is the second time within a few
years that an attempt has been made
to secure free delivery for Union
City. The first time it was refused
outright, and it looks now as though
the attempt would fail again
The postoffice department has issued
orders to establish a new postoffice at
North Hartland The mails will he
sent over to the new office from Hart
land, a distance of three miles. Fred
T.. Dutton has been appointed post
master Of the new Office, and his com
mission was issued by the department
to-day.
The senate has passed the river and
harbor bill, with all the amendments,
and the bill was returned to the house
this morning. The senate bill as
passed includes the. two amendments
of Senator Platt for New Haven and
Bridgeport harbors. 1t is stated to-
| day, however, that the bill will not be
considered further by the house. MI
| Burton, the chairman of the commit
tee on rivers and harbors, is very mucH
put out over the action of the senate
in adding a large number of amend
ments AS he feels to-day he will re
fuse to call the bill up for a confer
ence. If he does not change his mine
the bill will die natural death.

promised TO observe the state health
laws, and to offer no resistance to the
civil officers.

any statement until after he had seen

CO C BARN DANCE.
Biggest Event OF the Season at the
Armory Last Might.

The streets about the center of the
city were thronged last night with rus.
tic characters, all vending their way
towards one place, the armory, where
ye foot soldiers of Company G were
giving a regular old fashioned barn
dance. 1t was gala night for the rus
tic Reubens and the country lasses,
who fled into the armory in streams
They were attired in all kinds of COS,
TUNES most appropriate for the Occa-
sion, and they initiated the hayseeds in
a fine manner. The city maidens and
young men who did not dress for the
occasion also spent pleasant evening
in observing the different costumes, in
ing to make out where their friends
were. The last was a difficult task.
for their frien. We're attlred In such
a fashion that it was well nigh impos-
sible to tell them unless they forgot
themselves for moment and spoke In
their natural voice
The barn dance was an innovation.
for Waterbury. Affairs of a similar
nature have been given here privately,
but last nights dance may properly
be termed the first public one which
has been given here. The innovation
was magnificent success. The arm
ory was crowded with people. 1t was
scarcely large enough to accommodate
all. The decorators had transformed
the hall so that it had all the appear
ance of a country place. Corn husks
and stacks of straw formed the decora-
tions. On a platform surrounded by
bundles Of straw the orchestra rem
dered music for the old fashioned barn
dances. The fiddler was there and did
excellent work.
In one part of the hall sweet cider
and pumpkin pie were sold. The sup
ply of both was exhausted long before
the dance was over. In the opposite
corner there was q stand where the
chickens were raffied This rattle was
well patronized.
About o'clock the grand march be-
gan. About seventy-five couDles took
part in it. The judges Sheriff William
| Gillette. George Stone and Benjamin
Chatfeld, selected the following as
prize winners: Gentlemen, first Mat
thew Doyle; second, BERNARD Covle:
ladies Miss Bersinger. Miss Mary Bren-
nan. There We're few others besides
| these After the allotment OF prizes
| dancing was enjoyed until o'clock.
Persons not attired in costumes We're
not allowed on the floor until 1880.
One of the pigs raffied off was won by
| Janitor Loughlin of the City hall, while
the other was won by ticket II.
| The affair was q grand success Ev-
erybody was well pleased with it and
] enioyed q good time The committee
| in charge deserves much credit for the
fine manner in which they made the
different arrangements.
