 The crops of Wheat and Rye have been har- vested in geed order, and more wheat has been raised this year, in this town than in any prece- ding year for twenty years. Fifty years ago, wheat was the most important commodity of production by the farmers of the town. Several years since destructive insect commenced it's ravages which entirely prevented any attempts to cultivate that kind of grain. Within year or two the insect seems to have disappeared and the business of wheat growing is being gradually renewed. Several fine crops have also been rais- ed in Duchess county, adjoining Sharon. Winsted.
 The people of Winsted have voted, PIT to 5s that water shall be brought into the village, for public and private purposes will issue securities, redeemable in 10, l5 and 20 years! WOOdbury.

THE OxyGENATED BITTERs.

The qualities of this medicine have placed it upon an impcrishable foundation. In destroying disease, and inducing health, it has no parallel.
 For the following Complaints these Bitters arc Specific viz: Dyprpsia, or Indigestion. AtGt Burn, Acidty, Costireness, Loss of Appetite, Head ache, and GENERAL DEBILITY.
 In many portions of our country this prepaTa- ton is extensively ued by physicians in their practice, and it seems to have restored many to health whe were apparently beyond the reach of the healing art.

 EDITOR ENQUIRER II noticed in that immac. ulate journal the Winsted Heruld of last week criticism on the call of our State Commit tee, for Convention few weeks since, an at. tack on the last Convention, and Legislature of last spring; of which Financial Tom' was no, a member.
 The editor of that paper is, if sober, evidently in an unamiable mood when writing his editori- als; he must have everything his own way or growl.
 Is he not sufficiently read in the political his tory of this state to know that the American party of the state cut loose in 1855 from the National organization on account of the Mig. ger? and that as state organization they took the same ground on the matter of [" the peculiar institution" (n advance of the existence of the Republican party) that Mey now occupy.
 Don't he know that the begetters of the Re- publican party, himself included, were set of fellows who had found no "aid and comfort at the watchfres of Sam?
 If he don't know it, others believe him to be of that class who had rather rule in Hell, than serve in Heaven. He prates of back seats to new converts, as though the members of the State Committee and their co-workers had not been earlier than himself and his fellows to enun- ciate openly and publicly Republican seuti- ments.
 He intimates that the party would have been 5000 better now. if they had kicked the An,eri- cans to the D-l. Admit his claim, and they
Litchfield enquirer., 1860-08-09

would have counted in gross HOO, now, having when they run separate ticket for state officers in 1856 some 5000 votes.
 Why under Heaven cannot he let every body that vents to vote for Honest Old Aben do it quietly, whether they have at some day been Whigs, Americans, Democrats or Abolitionists, and not be eternally poking sticks at everybody for their Americanism,-if he knows why I wish he would tell. ALPHA. MIR. EDITOR Tn the Enquirer of this week, I think you are wrong in recommending Cat tie Show in connection with our County Fair this fall We are not wholly out of danger of the fatal disease yet, and we cannot be too eau tious against it's spreading. By all means give us County Fair in every respect, excepting the exhibition of cattle; which know is the most prominent feature of the Fair, but we can dis pense with them for one year and then if we have not got the disease among us, no one need be alarmed. w. H. J. Milton, Aug. 4th, 1860.
 We cannot agree with our correspondent in regard to any danger that would arise from the usual display of cattle at the Fair, but we have no doubt the Executive Committee will take all the risks into consideration, and decide as seems to them proper in the matter and as the pre. vailing sentiment of the owners of cattle in the county would seem to indicate Certainly the fears of our correspondent are as much entitled to weight in the matter as our own impressions which are decidedly that the late epidemic will make but little difference with the Cattle Show
 if it should be held at all, and that the fear of contagion above expressed is not a general feal among farmers. ED. ENQUIRER.

Professor Steiner, the aronaut, has been as- tonishing the people of St. Lawrence County by his feats. He made an ascension last week in company with another, and when at the height of two miles, Steiner took a parachute and de- scended to the earth. The spectators were thrilled at the sight and stood breathless as the daring eronaut was descending He landed safely, however. This has long been favorite feat with the English and French aronauts A parachute is made chiefly of silk or canvas in the form of an umbrella, so as to gather in the air in its descent, and therefore fall steadily with its weight suspended underneath. It contains no gas, and the sronaut has no conrrol over it, except that his weight keeps it steady and right side up in it's descent.
 Nor IxPossrELE.-A pious lady in Virginia was in the habit of having family worship every evening, and it was rule of hers that all the ser wants should attend. On one occasion Dutch man fresh from Pennsylvania, staid all night at the house, and was much struck by the assem- bling of the negroes at prayers. After they had all left the room except a small boy who re- mained to light the guest to his chamber, the Dutchman inquired of the lady why she brought the niggers to prayers. She replied that she felt responsible for their religious training The Dutchman then asked her if she really thought they had souls and she, beginning to be rather excited, told him she certainly did, and that she felt deep interest in their salvation. The Dutchman then turned to the negro and asked him
 Boy, do you think a nigger has got soul ?"
 70, yes," said the boy, reckon they got souls."
 "Well, boy, do you think you would be allow ed to go to heaven ?"
 "Yes, sir, spec Twill I lows to git in:''
 "Now, boy, whereabouts do you think they d nut fellow like you in heaven?"
 "I dunno, sir" said the boy but I reckon I'll git ia some where tween de white people and de Dutch"
