10r We heard copperhead say. yesterday, that preparations had been made in Hartford and New Haven to. resist the draft, burndown the Marshall's office, scatter the enrolment, kill half dozen officers, and get up little civil war generally here in this state. It may be so. The copper would be likely to know the schemes of his fellows. But there ars Jails in Hartford and New Haven, and there is pow der and ball in loyal hands there. And Tom Seymour isn't Governor. And the People are strong, and loyal, and dauntless, and the snakes are small and weak, and wriggling, and oowardly and contemptible. They don't like to smell powder or hemp. Their-slime is their courage and the LAW will wipe that of.

LITcHFIELD.

The town has been very quiet, on it's own account. during the past week, the farmers quietly enjoying the refreshing rains of Mon day and Tuesday. Crops of all kinds are ma terially benefttef by the thorough wetting down they have received, not excepting the grass crop, and as bat few of cur farmers have begun their haying until now, they req sonably expect better crop than II they had commenced moving last week. There are fewer summer visitants than usual in the village this year, attributable per haps to the fact of greater rush to the " wa tering places -but we imagine many New Yorker would be glad to exchange their tur- bulent mob-ruled city just now for the quiet, law abiding, healthfal village of Litchfeld
 The principal topic of conversation in our streets is, of course, the Riot in New York All other topics, even of the war, the chance of great battle on the Antietam, the attack on Charleston, yield their points of interest to this. Everywhere regret is expressed that the mob could not have been met and put down in it's incipiency, by the strong arm of militia ry power.
 The train on the Naugatuck B: R. due at { 2S Tuesday evening did not arrive at the Litchfeld station, until IF 20 Wednesday A M. being delayed by the breaking of an axle at Bridgeport. No train left New York on the N. Y. & N. H. R. R. after IF o'clock noon of Tuesday.

MISCELLANY.
An Improbable Partnership.

In the presence oil wine merchant ana his
wife, two distinguished members of the rab-
Bile in Paris. Sariol and Turban by name, en-
tered into copartnership for the purchase of a
small keg of brandy, with the understanding
that il was to be pedded out by the glass at
the fair of st. Denis, the annual iete of vii
lage in the environs of the capitol, the terms
of the association being that the profits of the
venture should be equally divided between,
them. Everything was drawn up in due form
and among the various articles of the agree
ment was one fixing The price of a 'smeller'
at four sous.
On the evening OF the very first day that
the partners commenced operations, both
were picked up by the police in most woful
plight, their garments in rags, their eyes deep
in mourning, and their scalps partially denu-
ded of hair. Their financial situation may be
summed up in few words--an empty keg
and copper coin of the value of two sous.
Appearing on the following morning before
the police tribunal, charged with assault and
battery, and resistance to the public authori-
ties, the following Frenchy facts were elected:
The two spectators had duly started for
the fair grounds at st. Denis, taking with them
the key of brandy. Upon arriving at the SUBJ
urb of La Chapele, Sariol said 10 Turban,
"Turban. my boy, think I'll take stifiner"
To which Turban replied, "Well, l think
that's cool anyhow You know, Is'pose, that
tnal ere brandy lsnt yours alone, III belongs
TO us both ~
"That's So" returned Sariol, "and I'll tell
you how well manage it; the price of a smell
err" is four sous, so I'll just give you two sous,
and that will make us square,"
"Ali right" said Turban, modified, "that's
fair enough" So Sariol gave his partner
two sous piece, and took his stffner.
The pair had gone but shert distance fur
ther when Turban suddenly remarked:
Il think III take a reviver now, myself"
"Of course you mean to pay me two sous ?"
said Sariol.
STo be sure l do" answered the other;
whereupon he drank the glass of brandy, and
handed back the copper.
After plodding on another mile Sariol broke
in with,
"By lingo, go in for goods at half price.
As a smeller costs me two sous instead of four,
III take another"
