Tms LAST MOMENTS OF THE EMPRRoR
OF CHISA.-The following are the terms
in which the Journal de ST. Peters
burg Of the 9Th Of October, announced
the death Of the Emperor Of China !:
"Accouuts from Pekln Of the oath Of
August, make known the death Of the
Bogdokhan. In the morning Of that
day two DEGREES in the Pekin Gazette
Get forth that, by bis will, he had nomi-
mated his oldest son heir Of the Celestial
Empire, and had decided that > council
Of eight personages should advise him,
the said council consisting OF Zsaiyousn
Q-tsin-wan,) Douan-hous (Tchen-tsin.
wan,) Sou-hous, 1sin-toa, Mourn, Kon-
sn.vouan, Don-han, and Tsiao youin.
The name Of Prince Kong, it will be OBJ
served, does not appear in the list. At
two in the afternoon the public an
nouncement was made that the Bog
dokhan had breathed bis last. All bu.
sness VAS ordered to be suspended for
twenty days as mark of mourning.
Tranquility was not disturbed in the
capital
Nor GOOD PROPHET.-The London
Times is daily instructing its readers
that the loyslists Of the United States
will find it impossible TO conquer the
rebels. This is the old strain Of the Times
regarding this country. 1t constantly
predicted the defeat OF the U. s. Army
in the war with Mexico. On the 81 81
of August, 1876, it is said in leader on
our Mexican war:
1--WE have all along forseen that the
conduct OF this war would present al
most insuperable military difficulties, and
that the cry Of marching to Mexico, in.
vesting the principal cities, and occupy
ing the country was the mere dream Of
an ignorant populace. Without roads,
without local supplies, with little water
and great deal OF disease, the march
Of an American army into the heart OF
Mexico would lead to its destruction

tempt-but here are reasonable acts actually committed and justified by state in open oppo- sition and defiance to the General Government and get moAling is done.
 Is nothing going to De dome7 the people ask. Are the President of these States and his Cabinet councillors wholly indifferent to treason? Are these States really to stand in open defiance of us, and cover us down with their paltry forces and sub lime braggadocio, and not finger be lifted to preserve, protect and defend the rights of these states?
 It has been well said, and is worthy to be re- peated, that there are some gentlemen in high places, who would do well to remember that the crime which made the name of Benedict Arnold infamous for all time, was simply an attempt to deliver over forts into the power ofthe enemy"
 Let us hope and pray. that some deliverance may be at hand to stay this tide of anarchy and revolution which is threatening to overwhelm us, and might be stayed by firm, prompt and eff cient President. Let us hope, indeed, with Sena- tor Seward, that this Union has not yet fulfilled the mission of Him, who has thus far signally blessed and protected it. Let us hope that some, thing may be done, and speedily, to defend our honor, our interests and our preservation; and that the prayers lately offered by united nation for the benefit of the Union in general, and Presi dent Buchanan in particular, (though we admit this last the uttermost stretch of faith may be sanctifed to its and his spiritual and temporal backbone.

It is but little more than year since we enlarged our paper, and furnished it then for the inside pages with new type-but our prosperity during the year, and our prospects for the future, for which we return our grateful thanks to our patrons, en- courages us again to make this addition to the appearance ofour paper, and hoping thereby to gain still further approval and patronage from our friends.
 Meanwhile we may take this opportunity to statc that we shall make still further efforts in the ft ture to make the ENQUIRER interesting and useful to Litchfeld County people, and shall endeavor at the same time to uphold those principles of state policy and federal government, which the ENQUIRER has always advocated, and which we believe to be for the highest and best interests of our country, the Union.

WOOpBuRY.

The Monumental course of lectures was inaug- urated on Monday evening by most eloquent and learned lecture written expressly for the oc- casion, by Rev. James Richards, D. D., of Litch- field. The night was indictment and dark, and few would have ventured out except to attend such lecture as was given us. The course was opened most auspiciously and it is believed, that our fellow citizens will encourage them. Alarge and attentive audience greeted the lecturer to the close The lecturers in this course give their services in aid of the Clerical and Historical Monument, and it would be strange, indeed, if the people did not sustain them. The lectures hereafter will be given on Monday evening in each week, and will constitute course superior to any ever given in this town. merely nomi- nal admittance fee is charged, that all may avail themselves of it's benefits.
 The learned lecturer of the evening took for his subject" Liberty and Law Reconciled, ora voice from the Commonwealth of Old England to the Commonwealth of New England" ;" with an exor- dium and peroation suited to the occasion and the times.
 The delighted audience testified their approba- tion of the truly eloquent, learned and interest ing address, on motion of ". Cothren, by unan- imous vote taken by rising.
 - Charles D. Longfsllow, Esq, of Woodbury, at present engaged in the office of W. Cothren. Esq, has decided to open an office in Naugatack, for the practice of the law.

A grim pair of eskittens" were brought into our sanctum the other day, of the wildcat spe- cies, weighing IA and 1s4 lbs., which were shot by Mir. Charles H. Wheeler, about three miles South of the village. They were very disagree able looking institutions, even though l" dressed with straw and fowers;'' and though sleek and playful as kittens, in lfe we could not mourn their timely catastrophe.
 We thought we had got through with awild cat' institutions when the Litchield Bank burst up!
 Mir. Judd ambrotyped these last of their race.
 The weather for the past week has been ya- riable in Litchield as elsewhere. On Sunday morning at sunrise, the thermometer was l2o be- low zero. On Monday the the temperature mod erated very considerably, and on Tuesday night heavy rain set in, which has covered our trees with ice full three quarters of an inch thick. Great havoc, it is feared, will be made upon the fruit-trees, and many of the branches of our elms are broken off. Such an ice-storm has not been known sinceabout the year 1884, and even then was hardly as severe and damaging as this, it is feared, will be. The storm this "Wednesday af ternoon, has not spent its fury and streets are lined with huge broken limbs from the trees.

NEW MILFORD

Donations are the rage nowadays, and the people of the Congregational Church in New Milford made their pastor, the Rev. Mir. Mur- doch, such a visit on Thursday last at his house, which was brilliantly illuminated and completely jammed for the occasion. Refreshments were provided for the hungry and the thirsty after this worlds comforts, and pleasant and lively social party was the result. Meanwhile a forlorn Edi- tor was holding grimly forth, to select circle in another parish, on Social Eoils !
 At the former gathering, which very justly ex- ceeded the latter, the system of payment was wisely reversed, and (which wouldn't have done in the other case, the inevitable hat was passed around at the close, and realized for the popular minister something over 100 dollars in clean cash-which was in addition to large amount of wood and |" stuff already brought to the par sonage.
 The New Milford people are a generous and liberal-handcd people, and We op;re, their pas tors live in clover, as they ought. Mir. M. of the Congregational Church, receives Sl20O per an. nun, beside $50 per annum on an old account, and these annual donations, which realize yearly from one to two hundred dollars more. We be- lieve this is the-largest salary paid to any minis ter in the county.
 Tho Editor hereof, wishes he was gifted with such "a charge to keep" and the talents and grace to procure one!
 MT. Ambrose s. Rogers of the "Adclphic Institute,'' delivered the fifth lecture of the " Home Course on Tuesday Evening. His sub jcct was "The Wants and Improvements of the Age,' and was well received by large and de- lighted audience.
 -One of the liberal men in New Milford, is talking of building a large and commodious Hall his own responsibility, for lecture and concert purposes. The idea is good one--the village needs one, and would no doubt heartily support 1t, and bless the donor
 The Litchfeld County Bank, though cramp- ed for room in its old clearinghouse, is still well prepared for "hard times," and pays promptly its dividends through the hands of the popular Cashier, Mir. Conklin.

The Crisis.

We have no words to express the disgust and dissatisfaction which we feel, and which we are convinced the people of this county and this state feel, at the want of energy, the utter un- faithfulness and the miserable procrastination of ;,ss federal administration at Washington.
 Of late we had hoped that new impetus had been given to the weak and timorous Exective, by the purging which it's Cabinet is said to have received, of traitors and secessionists; but we confess that we begin to look with despair to any fresh news from the seat of government, which shall inform the country, that at least the Presi dent has finally resolved to bestr himself for his plain duty, avenge the repeated insults to the American flag, crush treason, and punish rebel lion, and be in fact, as he is by the Constitution and laws, the Chief Magistrate, protector and defender of these United States.
 It is now more than week, since the "Star of the West, bearing reinforcement of goy. ernment troops to Fort Sumter, was fired into bv the lawiess mob of the "independent monarchy, of South Carolina-was forced to put hack to sea-and finally returned to New York and re. landed her troops on Governors Island, from whence she received them-her mission accom-. plished and disgraced-and still this insult to our flag is, as yet, 1,noiiced. It is nearly a month since Fort Moultrie and Castle Pinckney wert seized by the mob of South Carolina, and are stil held for offensive and defensive purposes agains the federal government. During this time, too other forts of the United States Government have been seized in North Carolina, in Alabama, ir Florida, and in Louisiana. A Revenue Cutter also belonging to the United States, has beer surrendered by her commander, and is now in the possession of South Carolina-dnd yet nothing has been done 6y as Erecutice Goresnnsent q Washington. These are "overt acts.n The noisy, blatant speeches of reasonable orators, stumpspeakers and Senators we can stand. The Ordinances of secession,' as they are called, we can regard with supreme indifference and con.
