We refer to the Congressional contest now pending. We henr of a few localities where the contest waxes warm and heavy, arising. In nearly every instance either from] the disappointment of some '"political sorehead." who has felled to receive the appointment. to some position sought, or to hold a position where the public could be much more benefited by a change, such change having been made iu accordance with the wishes of the people, or from the selfish aspira­ tions of some unwise *per8imonlons,, clinging to the "limb of the law," try­ ing to cast himself at the feet of the public, asking to be taken op and tested, while they hold In their hands him who they know to be the "tried ami tlie true* -- for .such is our present member.

The laziness has become chromic, but lack of news can no longer be pleaded. Saturday night, the stores of J. R. Wells aud Robert Harrison, were en­ tered, the safes blown open, and the contents taken. In addition to the contents of the cafe. Mr. Wells lost several hundred dollars worth ef silks. The explosion also destroyed his desk, the windows, a|id tore up things gener­ ally. Mr..IIarrlson was more fortunate so. far as the damage to the store was concerned. We nre uninformed as to the estimated value of the safe's con­ tents. It seems strange that all this qpuld have occurred, without arousing the entire village. One reason for it is that the disturbance was not. so great as would be supposed, and an­ other reason may be that a grand Masonic conclave was held in the even­ ing. about forty or fifty Masons from out of town, were present, and these with the home brothers, made more or less noise on the street during the evening, and the uninitiated sleepers 1j|uddeiily wakened by the explosions, may have supposed that the bursting of bombs and firing of pistols were customary1 items in Masonic program­ me's. Tiis burglers hud barred the door leading to the room occupied by Frank Wells and John Raridan, thus preventing their giving an immediate alarm. They fired a revolver a "num­ ber of times, an 1 J. R. Wells, Henry Goldlng. Geo. Pratt and others were soon aroused. Arthur Graham and Horace Wells went to Barrington to telegraph ' the news to surrounding points, and in the morning parties were sent In all directions searching for some trace ef thieves, but so far as we know without success. They also took Mr. Griffin's horse and buggy. What might have been another serious calamity was fortunately nip­ ped In the bud by the activity snd presence of mind of C. L. Pratt.-- Wednesday night Mrs. Pratt was wak­ ened by a bright light in Mr. Ford's harness shop near Mr. Pratt's store and residence. She roused her husband, who immediately went for that fire, and breaking through the window with liis fist, by the aid of a pail of water fortunately standing near put out" the fire, and then, being arrayed simply in a brief undergarment modestly retired. It is a mystery how the fire originated, hut when discovered the work bench was burning vigorously ^nd a box of Infiamable material had Just caught when Mr. Pratt appeared. Wfihthe entire absence of any facilities for ex tlugiiishing fire in the village, there Is no knowing where it might have stop­ ped had it once gained good headway Th^vJUagS jeJectioi) pft8sed off very quietlr, the following ticket being elected by a handsome majority: VII. hige trustees, H.
