THE KNOCKERS PRAYER.

The following Knockers Prayer" has been going the rounds of the press. It is unidentified and there is no clue to the author, but he evidently knows his game:
 E "Lord, please don't let this town grow. I've been here for thirty years, and during that time I've fought every public improvement. I've knocked everything and everybody; no firm or individual has established a business here without my doing all could to put them out of business. I've lied about them, and would have stolen from them if had the courage. I have done all could to keep the town from growing and never have spoken good word for it. I've knocked hard and often. I've put ashes on the children's s slide and I've made the marshal stop the boys playing ball on my vacant lot. Whenever l saw anyone prospering or enjoying themselves I've started at re- form to kill the business or spoil the fun. I don't want the young folks to stay in this town and I will do all can by law, rule and ordinance to drive them away. It pains me, O Lord, to see that in spite of my knocking it is be- ginning to grow. Some day I fear I will be called upon to put down sidewalks. in front of my property and who knows but what may have to help keep up the streets that run by my premises? This, Lord, would be more than could 1Srh all have was made right here in this town. Then, too, more people might come if the town begins to grow, which would cause me to lose some of my pull. I ask therefore, to keep this town at a standstill, that may continue to be the chief. Amen.'

The suggestion offered by contribu- tor, in "letter from the people," con- cerning the organization of poultry association for the purpose of holding a poultry show at Canaan, deserves earn est consideration from local and adja- cent chicken fanciers. There are a number of breeders of fancy poultry in Canaan, who exhibit in the shows far and near, and who would doubtless CO., operate in the establishment of some such society here; but it remains for some of them to start the ball a rolling.

Representative William s. Pardee, of New Haven, has made an analysis of the incoming legislature, and says: "Out of 258 members in the House, only 31 were reelected, namely, 12 per cent only, or one in eight. The habit of the State ill not sending back Repre- sentatives makes it over and over again an amateur House controlled by few experts" ;" MT. Pardee sums up his analysis by saying: "In the old days the habit of the town was to re-elect men until they became trained and in- fluential. ''
