 It is one thing to cater intellectu- ality to an audience of, say, thirty, and quite another, to one of thirty thousand. The publicity in the premises are astonishing factors. When you come to think of it, "scrib- bling" brings into notice many local ities, persons and things.
 The founder of this paper never asked a person to subscribe for it. He used to tell us that person who wanted his paper would come and sub- scribe for it, and that was generally a subscription that stuck. We think we are not mistaken when we say that that policy is still pursued.

 In the Fremont Buchanan cam- paign, in 1856, member of the Bap- tist church here, i'll good and regular standing, 8 jealous democrat withal, sat listening one Sunday forenoon to his pastors sermon. It was not lit erally the "eve" of the election, but the day before the election, the great event of those years. Waxing warm with his subject, for the times were hot, as many persons remember, be- ing an ardent whig, or republican, (the political party of the latter name being just born), the preacher said, Brethren, Christian man cannot vote tomorrow for Buchanan, the representative of the slave oligarchy, and be consistent. '' Rising in his seat, the doughty democratic member of the church, who was the leader of the choir at the time, but for some reason sat "down stairs" that day, said in 8 loud tone, "That's your opinion, MT. Walker" and walked out of the church. In preceding years, one Sunday, the local Congre- gational minister, lit was during the Mexican war;, in the 'long prayer said: 70 Lord forgive us for waginR cruel war against a weak and in- offensive people, An ardent demo- crat, the only one in the congrega- tlon, if we remember rightly, sprang to his feet. slammed his pew door vio- lently and noisily walked out. These two incidents of our early boyhood remind us forcibly of the following story: A long time ago democrat went one day to the deacon and com plained that the minister was preach ing politics. t'I hadn't noticed it, '' said the deacon, "What did he say ?'' Why, the text he took was aimed al the democrats. ; 1T didn't notice it, what was it?'' eff the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the un. godly and the sinner appear? ?'' "But my dear brother, there is nothing about politics in that text. '' ''That may be, . said the aggrieved member, but know we'll enough what he had in mind. He meant if the fed eralists scarcely are saved, where will the cussed democrats appear?" a

highly respected resident of the community. He was married early in life to Miss Julia Chaffee, who died number of years ago, and who is also buried in Hillside cemetery. MT. Cutler was we'll known in differ ent sections of the town, as he was quite successful school teacher at the Springs for a number of terms. He also lived at West Stafford for a time, where he was employed iii the D. E. Whiton machine shop, and on the removal of the Whiton machine works to New London he went with them. After his removal from this town he was married to his second wife, who survives him. and he is also survived by one son, Forrest, who lives in New Haven.
 Memorial day will be observed il this village much the same as in pre- vious years. Hillside cemetery will be visited by delegation from Win ter post at about the usual hour, where short exercises will be held, mostly by the pupils of the Pinney Grammar school. The Street ceme. tery will be visited by the same dele. gation at about the usual hour, where brief exercises will be held.
