fEy The Editor of the Winsted Herald has visited

fsy The Editor of the Winsted Herald has visited the Housatonic valley lately and thus speaks of the buiiness in the northwestern part of this county:
 " Past the village of Norfolk and what hom of cheerful labor used to sing with the traveller, all ike way to Canaan Now what an array of seal ed up factories, silent shops and grim deserted for gcs. Iron for which there is sale, lies piled like cord-wood all along Blackberry river. Twenty twenty five, perhaps thirty thousand tons of it, the product of the Salisbury mines is thus stacked about the Canaan furnaces, for want of market. Worth thirty forty dollars per ton when it is worth any thing, the reader judge whether there is stagna tion in the iron business. < At Falls Village the depression in business is painfully appar cnt. And one turns from the contemplation of that magnificent water power, unoccupied, those noble workshops of Ames and the rest,-with feelings of relief to the tumbling cataract and the mountains, green again. where the processes of nature move grandly on forever, undisturbed by the fuctuation of trade or the earthquakes of panic. Who has not heard of Ames' works at Housatonic Falls? We hoped to see these ponderous hammers of tons weight shaping the molten mass, great furnaces of white heat and thousand wheels in motion Dis appointment! there not fire enough in the whole establishment to light the paddys pipe, whose bar row contained the only wheel moving in the prems- es-the wholu township for aught we know They do say, nor now that the bremen and iron mongers would be happy to vote for tariffs and tariff policy How keen it is to turn the key of the stable after the steed is missing. It is easy and very harmless to talk of reviving business but in the Housatonic valley it does no good The better times lag, and the trumpet which is to announce the resurrection of business, don't blow.''

They take pains to procure what ever is wanted in their line by their neghbors who are engaged in other vacations. Shall they be tained, or shall we send off our money to the mer- chants of other and distant places who send among us their peders and unlicensed auctoneers?

Messrs' Editors-I have been waiting to see some better notice of the Musical Soiree than felt quail. ned to give but as such notice has found it's way to your columns, trust this will not seem uptimely when the voice of the people says There has not been more agreeable way found to pass a July evening in Litchfeld. The prog gramme was recom- mendaton to the performers, and the performers we are sure would be recommendation to any pro. gramme they originated. The time is not far distant we hope when thisstye of music will be more sought after than that which requires the colorng of faces to suit the nature of the poetry. For many years we nave listened to MT. Roots fine Tenor in the city, and we were agresably surprised to hear it again joined so harmoniously with that of his charming lady MT. Peck's talents, as Singer and Conductor, need no praisa from me in his native town, and we are sure no town can boast Dairy Maid of more musical ability As for the native talent it is indeed worthy of praise, and we think Litchfeld will gain much, and lose nothing, by cherishing and encour. aging it. If the above had not been the prevailing sentiment would not have dared appear as musical critic, yet none heartily enjoy such soul. elevatng entertainment or wish more earnestly for more of the same sort

THE WORKS OF DR. TAYLOR.

Our readers will be glad to learn (says the Journal aud Courier that the works or Dr. Taylor are to be published. As System of Theology, it will be the most perfect, as it will be presented in the form of Lectures rather than Sermons, as has been the style of Dr. Dwight and others. The work will be sought with intense desire by those who listened to his instructions, as we'll as by all inquiring minds. The first volume, which is to contain his ser mons with steel plate executed for the work, will give specimen of his revival sermons. It should be in every family in New Haven as a keepsake of great and good man whom we once knew and loved The following tribute is from the sermon of Dr. Bacon:
 "Those sermons of his, which have been heard by so many thousands, especially in times of religious awakening strong and terrible appeals to the conscience of the soul upreconciled to God-those magnificent and more than Miltonic portraitures of Gods gov ernment-those approximations in the name of Infinite Pity-those thunderings and light nings from etcrnity-these, in the deep and heavy tones of that trumpet voice, and with the impressive flashes of that eye through which the soul looked out from beneath the dome of though" "-these live in our remem- brance, and will live in tradition after us- these live in the impression they have made on our immortal nature. It was in times of re- Hgious awakening and revival that he loved to preach His favorite sermons were con- posed under such settlements and to his own mind every one of them was redolent with blessed memories os success"

WORD TO 1NyALIDs COMING SOUTH MH. EDIroR:-It is lamentabIe fact. that A large majority of those who come South in quest of health, fail in obtaining their object, and often re- turn in worse condition than when they came. Now, as I speak from experience, perhaps my advice may be listened to by some, and good may be done by it. if so, the object of the writer will be obtained
 The greater part of those who como here for their health, select location near the seacoast, where they can at the same time enjoy the benefits of the salt water, and the mildness of the climate but as far as my observation has extended, this practice is unattended with any good result espe- cially, when the invalid is suffering from a lung complaint
 Whether it be, as some suppose, that the sea- breezes at night cause too great change from the heat of the day, or whatever may be the cause. in nine cases out of ten, lung disease is aggravated by living near the sea coast in warm climate Ifa person would find relief from a complaint of this kind by coming South, let him by all means come to the interior, far enough back to be out of tho influence of the sea air

INFANTS FooD.--When it is necessary to feed infants artilicially, and cows milk is used it should be first boiled, then skinned, then sweetened a little white sugar, and next lit tie salt added, not enough to give it satish taste. Milk thus prepared will not only pre- vent the indigestion and consequent acidity, fatulence, collie, diarrna, &c. from which suck
 ing children suffer so much, but will actually cure them. A hearty infant will swallow, dur
 ing the first year of it's life, fourteen hundred pounds of milk, in which are twenty one pounds of cheese, thirty pounds of butter, and one hundred and twelve pounds of sugar.

Ga3 Tie influence of 1hurlow Weed in the nomi- nations heretofore made by the Whig and Republi- parties in the State of New York has been so manifest ttat strong effort is now being made, by those who have not been favored with that gentle man aid in getting into office, to prejudice the pub lie mind against him, that at the approaching State Convention his councils may be unheeded and his influence in that body destroyed This effort we trust and believe, will prove failure. For though MT. Weed is branded dictator he has had ever at heart the success of the party with which he has acted rather than the ascendency of personal friends His effort has been " not to make public senti ment, but to ascertain the direction it was taking and follow it." This has been the secret of his success, and this it is which has given him power at nominating conventions. Never desiring office him self, he has studied to bring forward those indivdu- als for public support whom he thought best calcu lated to command success. Willard Fillmore, W. H. Seward, Preston King, Hamilton Fish, Washington Hunt and many others might mention. not
