We have received from Mir. Geo. Roberts of New York his Mammoth pictorial paper-the Constella. tion-for the 4th of July. It is the largest paper ever published and good for nothing but to look at, as it's immense size will deter any one from reading it. The profles and illustrations are mostly old ones which have been published elsewhere If any one wishes to pay 50 cents for paper large enough for drawing room carpet, we advise them to send | for the Constellation.

fg7 The appropriation to the State Agricultural Society this year is somewhat smaller than the past two or three Legislatures have fit to bestow i; but see no good reason for tho censure which "A Republican in the last Enquirer, bestows two Senators from this county for their votes against the usual appropriation. Indeed we are of opinion that the amount appropriated is as large as major ity of the farmers of the 18th and 18th districts would have voted if they could have passed upon the appropriation by a popular vote. Much good has undoubtedly been effected by the State Society, and much will doubtless still be accomplished ; but very large portion of the community are of opinion that it should be, as far possible, selfsustaining institution.

DARING FEAT.-Mons.

rHURsDAY. JULY ,. 1889.

1Er The second Centennial Celebration of the first exploration of the Town of Woodbury, on Monday and Tuesday, the 4th and 9th inst, was a perfect success. The concourse on Monday was the largest we have ever seen in the county since the Clay Convention in 1914, somewhat larger than the centennial celebration in Litchfield in 1852 We could not have been less than ten thousand Among the distinguished men noticed were Ex- Govern ors Dutton and Miner, Hon. Seth P. Beers, Judge Seymour, Charles Chapman. Esq. John Lorrimer Graham, Esq, Doct Jonathan Knight, John Boyd, Esq, E. B. Cooke, Esq R D. Smith, Esq, and all the clergymen of the neighb bring towns. Nathan ie B. Smith, Esq, presided with tn at ease and dig nity for which he is so distinguished.
 The exercises of the first day commenced with procession of regiment of gentlemen and ladies dressed in ancient costume under the escort of the excellent Brass Band from New Milford and the well-drilled Roxbury Guards. This procession at- tracted much attention and applause, and was high ly creditable to the managers and the individuals who represented the fathers and mothers of the town After hymn and prayer, a short and ex- ccedingly appropriate address welcoming the emi- grants of woodhury home again, delivered by Nathaniel Smith, Esq, who followed by Will Cothren, Esq. in an historical address, which was listened to with attention and delight for an hour and half and in which, the princi pal events in the history of ancient Woodbury were related, and many amusing anecdotes of the life and habits of the early setters received with great applause. It is uicient praise of this eloquent and we'll pre- pared address to say th.t the thou sands who were in hearing distance of the speaker remained most willingly in their seats during the entire hour and half of it's delivery. After recess of hour for refreshments, fn the preparation of which the peo- pie of Woodbury fully .tisfed the thro nging mul titude) Rev. William T. Bacon entertained all who could get within hearing distance for another hour and half with an historical Poem which if not fully equal to that of John Pierpont in Ltchield, contained many beautiful passages, and some most excellent hits. The Muse brought down the house frequently in his description of the families of Woodbury, and especially in his allusion to the peaceable race of Atwcods.
 On Tuesday, prayer meeting was held at 8 o'clock at Bethel Beck, when general address was delivered by Dca. T. Minor. At 10 o'clock ser- mon preached by Rev. Henry Beers Sherman of Bellevlle, N. J. a native of Woodbury, and speech es made by Messrs J. L. Graham, David B. Hard Gov. Miner, Charles Chapman Esq., Rev. Philo Judson and others, but as we were not present we can only speak of them having highly enter On the whole the celebration long to be re- membered as bright era in the history of the old dest town in Litchfeld County.

Homicide IN Somerset County. the 7th
instant white man by the name of Samuel
Martin, residing on the laad OF Samuel s.
Costen, ESQ.,, in Dublin district, Somerset
county, Md, was killed by negro named
John Horsey, under the following circum-
stances, as detailed by the Somerset Union :
1t appears that Martin hsd few days be-.
fore employed the negro to assist him in kill
ing his hogs. The negro on the day the
deed was committed, called at the house Of
Martin for his pay, and was requested by the
latter to wait until his wife came home, and
he would receive his money. In the mean
time dispute arose about the amount due,
when Martin ordered the negro out of his
house who refused to comply with the re-
quest. Thereupon Martin seized aa old
gun which was near him. and both dispu-
tants went out of the house together, when
the negro snatched the gun aud inflicted sew
eral severe blows upon the head of Martin,
from the effects of which he died in few
hours. The negro is still at large.

Eight of Je,os from Morocco.-.W have
heretofore,stated that owing to the threat
rened war Between Spain and Morocco, the
Jews resident ia the latter country re dy-
! ing to Glbraltar and seeking the protection
! of the British flag to avoid repetition OF
the brutal outrsges to which they were ex-
posed in 1874, when the wild Kabyle tribe
came down to the coast and committed the
most barborons acts of murder and plumber.
At last accounts nearly 5000 Jews had ar
rived at Gibraltar from Tangisr, and it was
probable that they would be followed by
many thousand others from other parts Of
Morocco. Mos. oil the fugiti7es are in desti
tute circumstances, being obliged, in their
sudden flight to leave behind them whatever
little property they possessed. Very many
of the sufferers, including Young women
and children, could find no resting place
upon reaching Gibraltar, but the bare
ground. An appeal has, therefore, been
made in their behalf to their co-religionists
in England and the United States, and to
the benevolent Of ali persuasions. In New
York city, the Rev. 8. NJ. lsaacs, Of 6S4
Houston street, has undertaken to receive
donations.
