We sincerely trust that no one In the peaceable little town of Haddam can take anything in the following as designed especially for himself (or herself as the cause may be): Whisky under ordinary circumstances can, and does do a great ileal of mischief Hut when you desire to see the devil do bis best work at torturing poor humanity just call iu ai see him when he has turned a lot of long aud limber tongues loose in a cotr.nuniiv, There is a clss of creatures things that are neither men or women, they are hyenas in human form, and they gorge themselves to the full ou the foul and feted falsehoods that continually ooze from slimy and stinging sewers of each other's mouth's. Their daily tood is falsehood and filth; and tbe more nauseating and the more nourishing and nutrici-ous to these floating daintiest djsb Is served up In its most savory twitrt wbratwoovt Uirej pf them meet to bandy lies about some good and virtuous woman. These he-har-lots of hades are always happiest when speaking the-spawn of their lecherous lies over the sainted name of wife or mother, tor by so doing the ilevllsh Ichor dripping from tbeir ulcerous lips, will cat through and posiou tbe whole family. The meanest thing on earth or in hell a telltale terroagent. Shut your ears aud doors against him.

Let these filthy fiends feel that yu loathe them as you do sow fresh from her wallow. If the long eared and long tongued bound comes into your presence, bid him begone and retura to his vomit. Kick these skunks of society out of your path, make them teel they are no more welcome in your presence than is the bed-bug or the polecat. Show there Is no place for tbem In decent society any more than there is for buzzards; or the bawd, or tbe louse invested bat. Sooner would we welcome to our humble home a slimy snake than one of these babbling, tattling, scandal-serving cesspools that befoul society.

We are glad if there are none in Haddam, male or female, to whom the above will apply. Our town is indeed lucky to be rid of them; for they are the drawbacks of civilization, the disturbers of peace, the baue of society, the propagators of more mischief than hisky in its most dire reign. They are, tricky, dishonest, low and selfish, human phouls possessing man's every evil passion, and the devil's worst attributes. If you know of any such post them on hell's approaches, that Satan himself may shun them an even too low to associate with trie most depraved pimps of pandemonium. John Mutb returned Tuesday from a trip to the new State of Washingten.

He was gone three weeks, and we Venture the assertion that John can see as much territory In th; length of time as many fellows would in a half year. Be visited Olympia, and several other of the large western cities. He is well pleased with the country and purchased some real estate near the capital of the state. He saw Frank Taylor, ho is engaged in real estate business, and expects to soon get a job as night watch man in a new hotel that is to be opened at Olymp If Jhu cau dispose of his Haddam City interests be will move nut there. The A11uii.ce grows.

It would have more political significance it fai nier were not trained to such of thought and action, lie rtiv.r.m refuses to obey a party Oi'e thing isciitaiu.

Gougue and family moved to Morrow this week, where be will take charge of a section. Mr. Neal Hanson will take his place here. The farmers' alliance are establishing exchange stores throughout the state and in many places goods are being furnished at 7k Per cent profit to the farmers. i There a class of peopl, aud Haddam City is by no meaus free from this class, who spend more time iu looking after the business of other people than they do after their own affairs.

Dr. Ochiltree is getting up a flag festival lor Easter enttilainnibiit at the M. E. Church. All the little girls in town and many from the country will take part, and the entertainment bids fair to be quite pleasing and interesting.

W. Smith, is a very prominent gentleman down there and stands at the head of the alliance. As we said last week the politicians are red hot Bfler Mr. Smith. There is no question but a town well would be a Rood investment and the city council would bejustiliedin having one put down.

If the well is for public use it should be paid for out of the public tunds. What Is of interest the town Is of interest to every citizen and we are surprised that some of our people should oppose ths expenshm ot a thousand dollars or even more for a good public well and tank. We have received from the Kansas seed house their annual catalog and would advise all those desirins to purchase any kind of field, garden or flower seeds to write for prices, or call at this office and look over their catalog.

For an improvement that is for the public. ulinrn all nro ntArpatart nil atimilri hpln pay the expenses incured in securing ciich irvii'iiTiVcimattt'. If there is one man to be dispised uiore than another it is the fellow who goe? about pointing out this man or that man aud remaikinz about what they owe. If they are in business and on do not call on them they will insin uate that you are owing some one else aud are under obligations to deal with them.

Very often these fellows who talk so much about other people debt's are treasuring your corn in their own half bushel. know men who are now and have been tor years living on the charity of politicians aud others merely because they are at all times ready to do their bidding. Men who have not earned a dollar for years bv honest toll; Men who have had from one to two thousand dollars given them by the government and are not worth a cent to-day, yet they will bowl about how much their neighbor owes. And some of these very fellows live in Bad-dam City. Wants to Change Locations.

Mi. F. N. Vedder, one of the first merchants of Haddam, has made up his mind to close out his business here and seek a new location iu tbe far west. Frank has been at Haddam for about ten years and hits gained a reputation here that Is without blemish.

While he has dime well, like the averare American he has liecome restless and sighs for other fields to conquer. In order.to get rid of his immense slorit of goods be has concluded to close them out at cost, and beifining jnday morn ing of this week, the sale will be continued until the entire stock is disposed of. He has the prices right down to the nx fc. anl people will do til to lay in such goods as they need as sooa as p.ifv-ob'e a everything must go. T.ie pioi'lu wil hj sony soe Mr.
