Mr. Hitchcock had on exhi' ition th,ee sheep recently imported from England, which, in our ob- servation at the different fairs in the county, we have never seen exceled if equalled If such sheep thrive we'll on our hills, it certainly will be most lucrative business to raise them for mutton. In weight they will equal that of large calf, while for beauty of limls breadth of back and shortness of wool, they cannot be surpassed by anything in the sheep line known in the world. Want of space will not permit Us to dwell upon the importance of the raising of these improved breeds of animals, of other features of onr County Fair, which, notwth- standing the storm, was most interesting and cheerful assembly, an improvement upon last year, as it has been every since the grounds were paid for and enclosed.

Local,
looking over the statute book, we came across the following section of law in regard to weights

Looking over the statute book, we came across and measures.
 "lf any person shall for the purpose of buying or selling, use any Weight or measure before the same siStl have been sealed, in manner aforesaid he shall for every such offence forfeit the sum of two dollars; one half for the use oi the town, where such nf-nse shall be committed. and the othtr half 10 the @ ler> of If Vt ights and meas u:es for said town; and it shall be the duty of such sealer to prosecute such person."
 Befare ano,h, 80 bushels of charcoal be sold ing the wagon, which |, represented 10 hold the last named quantity.
 Who is the sea'er of weights and measures!
 The all expressing topic of the day is the loss oi the steamer Central America formerly, George Law She was swamped in the late hurricane, which swept tie southern coast, carrying with her tie bottom over 5C0 souls and about one million and d half in gold. The particulars of the he,rt-rending disaster have been before the reading public for the last five days, we therefore omit more lengthy statement to make way for the crowd of other matter which the catteshow has forced upon us.
 Wm. Treat late attorney, and Judge of Probate and agent of the Enquirer in the town of Kent was on n i.y s,!t,ncel to ye,srs of .rl labor for ab stracting money from the U. $. Mail.

languages. It is preaching and working with unwastiny vigor Those thatread it know on- ly that it is cry ahd pleading that few men can hear without deep feeling. But not many kuow that it was. cry of love, the utter ei- fort of heart of love to save dear friend imperilled, or two friends, rather, closely rela- ted. One of them was rescued. These sud den openings of memory to scenes that iuclu ded in them the strangcst experiences of life pictures painted on the past with strokes of thought as sudden and as revealing as when the lightning at night opens the heavens and the earth with wide sheeting flash, and shuts again with obiiterating darkness-canuot be drawn or described upon paper.
 Inc sccund mOru.ng also was memorable for greetings and conversations whose roots were forty years deep in the soil of the past. For ourselves, We lowered about as mere shadow among those who had q right to be principals ill those sacred meetings We, in the body, are too coarse to write the real histories of men. But if an angel could write all that transpires when an aged wa"r.or in the church militant comes back to the earlier field of his achievements, and meets the companions of his to where tears and prayers, hopes and joys, sorrows and deaths, and troubles worse than death, We're common experiences, it would be a history of more matter and depth than all the volumes that are stuffed with empires, and buE foon kings and prclates.
 Last of all, as we departed it was fit that we should stand silently by those stones that record mother and wife, sister and son, lone ly group. l could not forbear to think of the stream and its contents that have flooded be- tween the two points of time, the first, when ], little babe, my father came hither, bear ing the wife of his youth to her rest and the second, when leaning on my stronger strength, his failing steps came again, and probably for the last time, to behold the grass that again waves, as it has yearly waved for lorty-six years Between these two comings hither, then aud now, a great army of events hath marched.
 While wienessing such scenes, it is strange that one cannot fUresee like experience But hen seldom look forward to see old age. They look into the future with young eyes.

The following rules have been the guide of one of our city's oldest merchants, who in a period of over twenty five years has never lost a dollar by stock operations.
 Always buy when, from some extraneous cause, such as temporary money pressure or large failure, people grow timid, and are re- ady to sell out"
 Never sell on falling market. Always remember that W hen stocks in ordina- rily good reputation fall during money pres- sure they are as sure to rise again as the sun in the heavens
 Remember the good old proverb- extremes produce their opposite"- whether in "panc prices" or other less important matters. Above all, never lose confidence in intrinsically good property because temporary causes cause temporary depreciation, but "hold on," in the emphatic language of the time, for the reaction which IS sure to follow.
 ~. r. Courier and Enquirer, Sept. 12M. 1 The New York Police on Monday last made seizure of the materials, fixtures and stock in business Of an extensive publishing house in that city engaged in the publication of obscene literature to the amount of $50, 900 per annum. The stuff. was of the most filthy and indecent character imaginable, and the only wonder is how such concern could have been permitted to carry on it's abominable work 50 long. A list of customers to whom bundles were found already directed, is published in the \. Y. Fri bune. Although {; number of them are from Connecticut, we are g lad that none hail from Litchlield County.

HEALTH DEPENDS ON PURE BLOOD. brandreth's Pills Purify the Blood ;

NO Disease can resist theIr JudiciOus Use.
 MILD OPERATION WITH SUCCESSFUL EFFECT ARE THE PEcoLiARirS OF BRANDREru's PILLS Our race arc suect to redundancy of vitiated bile at this sea- son. ana It Is as dangerous as it is prevalent but Brandreths Pills afford an invaluable and efficient protection. By their occasional use we prevent tbe collection of those impurities, which, when in suf t1ent quantities, cause much danger to the bodys health. They soon cure liver complaints, dyspep. sia, loss of appetite pain in the head heart burn. pain in the breast bone sudden faintness and cos- tiveness. In brief, Brandreth's Pills work their way to the very roots of disease cleansing in their passage, removing every unhealthy accumulation till the blood is purified the whole system ted, and the functions and duty of life become q pleasure, where before they had been sad and weary burdens. Often when nothing has relieved yomit- ing of the most serious character whether from sea- sickness or otherwise, where the retchng has been appalling, a single dose of four BRAxDRETns PILLS has at cured, and the patient has fallen into q sweet sleep. When the mind cannot collect itself when the memory fails when it is an effort to fix the attention when our sleep is broken and our waking hours harrassed with forebodings of evil then Brandreth's Pills should be used. If these warnings remain unheeded, rheumatism, consump tion, disease of the heart, bilious affections, jaun dice, dropsies, piles, apoplexes and cosiveness will suddenly present themselves. These Brandl eth's Pills would have prevented, but nevertheless these they will also cure. Use them at once. Do not let prejudice prevent the of this simple but potent | remedy.
 Brandreths Theory of Disease Never extract blood. Blood is the life By ab- stracting it ill painful diseases you may occasion the patient ease, but remember, this only Me reie- ton or hssenng he poper to fee And by thus taking away natures tools, you may prevent her from full ly repairing the ravages of inflammation and con. vert what might only have been the sickness of few days weeks, into chronic affection of months and years.
 Brandreth's Pills accord with Nature.
 Natures remedy in fact When sudden acute or continued pain occurs from any cause, then to in- sure quick return to health, you must Use Bran. dreth's Pills. which will soon relieve every organ from undue pressure and remove those humors whose presence often occasions such terrible suffer ing.

There are occasions. when the healthest people even, need medicine, the changes fthe diet, wealth CT. and hundred other causes, produce laxity in the system that needs correcting, or in other words the liver becomes slightly dera anged, and needs stimulator.
