Mr. Hovey has reached the age of 84 years, having .been born on September 1st, 1804.: He was the first male child born in Warsaw, and has' spent his entire life in this town, except a very short residence ’ in Wyoming; There are. doubtless many years of nse_ fulness and enjoyment still before him as he comes of vigorous and long-lived ancestry. His mother had. reached the advanced age of-94 years at the time of her death, and his grandmother com pleted life’s journey at 100 years. Mrs* Hovey, whose maiden name was Lydia A. Maher, Was loom in Lennox, N* Y., on the 4th day of March, 1819. . Her acquaintance with Mr. Hovey began when he was teaching a; school in the town of Middlebury, at which she was one of the pupils. Oa the seventeenth day of October, in the year 1838 there occurred an unusual event, a triple wed- ding, in which three of the contracting parties were members of one family. On that day Henry Hovey was married to jpydia Maher; his brother, LeBoy Hovey, was married to Deborah Smith, ind his sister, Mary Amelia Hovey, was wedded to Gideon Jenkins, the three ceremonies being performed by the then widely known and popular Methodist clergyman, Bev. Wilbur Hoag. LeBoy Hovey died within two months, after liia marriage; .Capt.ain and, .Mrs..

His address to the democrats of Warsaw at the Court House on Thursday, evening, will be an interesting exposition of the political ypuestions and should be listened to by a large audience. a sfcroug repub lican paper, but this is the way it talks about Gov. Hill: “Is it not a fact be yond dispute that personally and mor\ ally Governor Hill is above reproach? He does not preach his religion as a Cam paign argument/ but he is a strict at tendant and member of one of the larg^- est Christian cphgregations in Albany where he owns a pew and fills it twice each Sunday, He never uses nor never has/ tobaccp in any form. He does not know the taste of intoxicating liquors. He was never heard to utter an oath since he entered the executive chamber. No man walks the streets of Albany who is personally cleaner than he. Officially he has been a model executive, unpre tentious, easy of access] patient and courteous. The^greatest or smallest cit izen of*this State has had the same con sideration in the executive chamber. On matters of honest policy he has been bold, honest and fearless, aye, untiring h i his application and labor. Albany has never seen a harder w o rking executive. He is to-day despite his vetoes of unjust and improper so-called highdicense legr islation, a better and firmer believer in the efficacy of high-license than any man at the capital. ” - F r e d 4).

Smith, at the Court House, on Friday eyening, was one on tlie very hpst ever heard in this town. The principal issues of this campaign, both State and National were discussed’ in the clearest, fairest possible manner. He reviewed the salient features of Grover Cleveland’s adminis tration and met, with unanswerable facts and explanations the adverse critisims which have been made upon them. Many political matters of vital interest and importance Which ordinary stump speakers entirely overlook were treated by Dr. Smith with a master hand. He is a man of keen insight, clear judgment, wide observation and experience; an earnest, ■Kagnetic, brilliant talker. The State Committee have but few such able speakers in the field, and the democrats of Warsaw are fortunate in hating the privilege of listening to him* Anything to Win. The Voice, the national organ of the prohibition party, published in New York, shows conclusively in last week’s issue that the republican national com mittee has put in circulation through the liquor and beer channels of the - country a circular claiming that the liquor and beer interests will be best subserved by putting the republican party ia poWer!

There are oceans of vine All members of a household will go in to a vineyard together, and during the picking season every energy is devoted to getting the grapes to mar ket in good order. In the house work is neglected, and bakings are double or more the usual amounts in ordey that time may b e saved for the all important task. In some of the choicer varieties of grapes the bunches are tied up in paper bag# for some weeks before pick ing in order that they may ; receive no damage from mildew and that their d«l- icate colors may not be affected. The greater part of tne yield of grapes is packed in baskets, only the most easily bruised being put iu crates, and the small bunches and inferior grapas are seat to the wine cellar. Borne of the growers squeeze out the juice at home, scald it and put it up in cans as^ they would fruit. Tha yield this year is something immense, the largest by all odds ewer known, and if frosts hold off and the market is steady and strong there will be plenty of money in circu lation in the Lake Shore towns before winter. • -.\ ■ / - ’ ■. KillcMl by a Horse. Orleans JRepiiblican: A terrible ac cident befell the little eight-year-old daughter of George Jeffrey, who lives north of West Kendall, on Saturday last, Sho Was missed by'the family at night, and after a long search her lifeless body was found in & lot with a broken strap around her neck, A yearling colt was found to have the rest of the strap around its neck, and the supposition is that the child secured the strap at the barn and attached it to herself and the horse without a thought of danger. The little one’s neck was broken and her body badly bruised, showing that the colt had dragged her furiously about the lot. Au inquest was held and the funeral took place on Monday afternoon. The child had gone into the lot early in the day with a woman to catch a horse. This probably suggested the idea of a play Spell with the colt; How Rymaititc was Used. The Bethany correspondent of the Wyoming Reporter says: “A statement going the rounds of the press claims that a man in a carriage with catridgas made the holes for the long distance telephone poles. The facts are about 20 men made the holes with spades, a steel bar and spoon. They used catridges when they cam© to a rock. The holes were each six feet deep. One hole-on the corner at the Center it took five men neavly »; day to complete,” 7 * Almost Taxed to Reatli. A corespondent of the New York Times writes from New Haven, Conn., as follows: Sperry & Barnes, the great plbr k packers and provision dealers, is another New Haven firm whose business is molested by the present tariff rates. Joel A. Sperry, the senior member of the firm, was asked to-day (September 28th) how the existing high tariff affect ed his business, what and how much each article he used was' taxed, and how much he would be benefited by the passage of the Mills bill. Mr. Sperry said that free raw materi als would be an estimable benefit to his business. “ We use,” he said, “ia the course of a year $28,000 worth of fine salt; that is 12,000 sacks, or 1,500 tons, and about an equal amount of coarse salt. We import nearly all of it. The fine salt comes from Liverpool, and the coarse or solar salt is made from sea water. This comes from Turk’s Island. On the fine salt the duty is 28 cents a sack, so that we pay a duty of $3,360 a year on that. On the coarse salt the duty is 8 cents for 100 pounds, 01 * to us, $2,48& duty. Then we pay about $ 6 , - 000 a year to the government as a tax on our business. v ■ “We have built up a lafrge export trade and we want everything as cheap as we can get it, so that we can compete with Germany and other countries which export provisions. We want all the restrictions removed from that in dustry. We use 2,000,000 feet of lum: her a year for boxing. to; ship our? pro duct, On liimber there is/a duty of $2 per thousand.

These taxes don’t protect any home industries where we could buy these materials, for if the. e were we could go elsewhere to purchase them. If we could get our raw material free, it takes so much oft the cost of our|goods; it enables us to sell more and to do more business. The cheaper we can sell our products, the more markets we can reach outside of our country. We can do more business; employ more men, who will have more work and get; more pay.” Personal.

If tbe republican party, until 1888, was a tariff rtform party, the man wh calls himself a republican in 1888, and puts himself in opposition to all tariff re form, is a republican only in being will ing to vote 1 as he is directed by the lead ers of his party, in direct opposition to the principles by which that party has always been guided. He throws over his: belief, and changes his opinions, to try to help Mr. Benjamin Harrison in his struggle for the position of President of the United States. We cannot under stand how he can look upon such an at titude as either honest or wise. If the declarations of his party in 1884 meant anything at all, th^y meant that the tar iff needed revision. If he believed those? declarations were wise it was his duty to support them. If he belonged to his party because he believed in its princi ples, let him stand by those principles. If the party. as represented and gov erned by its leaders, cast aside those principles, let him cast aside his party. The principles remain, whatever be comes of the party; and if he abides by them, it is he who is faithful; and it is his party managers who are recreants and deserters, false to their promise and their professionst-L’mcZ:. ’ •, II.

On August 23d, at about seven p. m. while dipping water to give to his horse there was no noticable change in the temperature, but on the next morning at five a; m., the unusual warmth caused him to test the same, when he found it had raised: to 94 degrees. ^ During the day it gradually assumed its natural temperature. Onee since it has warmed up a little,, but not enough to attract special attention. Mr. Bullard is at a loss to account for the unusual occur rence, but is watching the spring with considerable interest. —- Democrat. PE R R Y AND SILVER LAKE.
