AN UNUSUAL EVENT.

Unless we are greatly mistaken, next Sunday evening will have been the first time the pastors and congregations of all three of the local Protestant churches Christ Episcopal Church, Pilgrim Congregational Church and the Methodist Church-ever assembled to- gether for union service. The occa- sion will be congregational hymn singing service, in the Methodist Church, from the book of good old hymns selected and complied under the auspices of the Litchfield County Choral Union on the initiative of MT. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel, and the extraordinary event will doubtless fill the church. However, we would advise those hide bound orthodox brothers and sisters who may fear that this unprecedented mingling of creeds will cause the roof to fall in, to stay away.

j, HENRY AS PROPHET.

A. F. Howe, in the New York Sum- day Herald, deals with the bulls-eye predictions of J. Henry Roraback, as follows:
 "To give the democrats Nemesis his due, it must be said that unless MT. Roraback had the voters hypnotized and absolutely subject to his will, he had an insight into their individual parti- san predilections, almost suggestive of marked cards. He told the Herald that Judge Holcomb would have plurality of from 15, 1000 to IS, 900, and the official figures turned out to be two hundred short of the latter figure. He likewise called the turn on all the other nomi- nees with approximate accuracy. He said the only fight worthy of being call ed one was between MT. Reilly and MT. Tilson for Congress in the Third dis trict, but that MT. Tilson would be elected by a margin of several hundred. MT. Tilson's plurality in total vote of 83, 900 was 672."

According to some of the evidence brought out at the investigation into the fixing of egg prices in New York city. high prices bring few benefits to the farmer. One wholesaler testified that the farmer received only seventeen cents dozen for eggs, no matter how high the retail price went.

Autumn Song.

All things that fade and fall With strange, haunted sound Upon the astered ground, In sad September nights; Apples and yellow leaves And the low, ghost-like call Of summers lost delights That grieves and grieves; Of these be the song made, Like them to fall and fade. Of garden corners dank, With piercing smell of moll, Of summers cup of eold, Wherefrom so deep he drank, By the dry fountains edge Cast down and grown arust; Dust calling unto sedge; Of these let the song tell That pleaseth Autumn we'll. Of woods-a painted scene, A hollow mimic show, A mask within whose glow A grinning death is seen; Of flowers funeral That seem not flowers at all, But little paper shapes An art fantastic apes; In these has Autumn pride That knows not she hath died.

 This is intolerablel We have re- tained ex-Mayor Thoms and Senator elect Peasley to sue for heavy damages. and as soon as we can ascertain who on the staff of the Connecticut Western News made this atrocious blunder, we shall have John Rodemeyer arrested for libel.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The whole country is agitated over the "foot and mouth disease" prevalent among cattle, and the fact that Con- necticut is under federal quarantine to guard against the spread of the disease and it's possible injurious effects among humans, brings the scare close to home. A number of herds in Hartford county have been isolated and many head of cattle will be killed and the carcasses deeply buried. .
 The Monthly Bulletin, issued by the Connecticut State Board of Health, gives timely information concerning the disease It says:
 "Foot and Mouth disease is an acute infectious disease, primarily affecting cattle and secondarily man. Hogs, sheep, goats and other domestic an- imals may occasionally, become in- fected. AS the disease is highly conta- gious, it spreads win great rapidity either directly or by intermediary bearers. The causative agent of the disease has not yet been discove cd but there is no doubt that it is of specific origin and one attack does not render permanent immunity. The period of incubation is variable, usually from two to six days or possibly longer. The onset in cattle is accompanied by fever, loss of appetite, rough coat and profuse salvation, The mucou S membrane of the mouth is reddened and vesicles appear about the third to the fifth day. Thes9 vesicles gradually increase in size, become filled with viscid fluid and finally burst, forming erosions and ulcers. Often they ex- tend over the outer part of the lip and into the nose. Simultaneously there is swelling about the hoof with sub- sequent formation of vesicles and ulcers; these make the animal walk stif1y and there may be secondary in- lection seen about the udder and teats. In all cattle there is great loss in weight owing to difficulty in feeding and swallowing. During the course of the disease and for along time after recovery the milk flow is greatly diminished and cancellation is pro- nounced. The mortality in ordinary outbreaks is from one to two per cent. although sometimes it is much higher.
 ''The disease in man is not uncom- mon and is transmitted through the ingestion of raw milk, butter and cheese from animals suffering with the disease. It may also be transmitted directly fom the salivary secretions or other infected material which gains en- trance through the mucous membrane of the mouth. Children are most frequently infected bys drinking un- boiled milk during the time in which the disease is prevalent in the neighbor- hood, while persons in charge of diseased animal may become infected through contact with the affected parts or by milking, slaughtering or caring for the animal. The disease is usually mild in man, and death practically never results except in weakened child ren and then from secondary complica- ton. In any case of aphthous disease the history should be carefully noted with special reference to the presence of Foot and Mouth disease in the neigh borhood or at the source of butter and milk supply. The prevention of the disease consists in cattle quarantine to keep it out of the country where it does not exist; in the elimination of the
