and it has been suggested to us, by member of the Society, that if they had been treated with little more consideration by the officers of the Society, and a little less at their own expense, they might have seen things through other glasses than they did, and drawn less upon their heated imsginations-which would have been Q calamity the Society could hardly have survived from the red .nosed gentry.
 SHERIFF VESSELS, late Colonel of the 18th arrived home on Friday last, and has resumed his official duties as High Sheriff of the Coun- ty. The Colonel is looking good deal worn, but we trust this invigorating climate will bring him up again. He has served the State and the country faithfully and efficiently in his service at the war, and only the precarioua state of his health has obliged him to relin- quish the duties in the field. The boys in our County Regiment, by whom he was universally beloved, will greatly miss him, but all reeog- nike the propristy of his resignation under the existing circumstances.
 We learn from the Colonel that the Regiment is greatly improved in health during the last month, and are every day attaining the high est profency in the drill of Heavy Artillery Sergeant Major B. H. Camp, of Harwinton has been promoted to the Adjutancy of the Regiment, and T. H. Vail, of this town, to the position of Sergeant Major.
 THE DEMOCRATIC" Towx CAUCUS was held in the Town Room, in this village, on Friday afternoon last. After several ringings of the bell, the faithful were gathered together, and after an organization had been effected, mo- tion was made by Long John 'that all reporters be requested to lesve," which seeming to be the sense @ of the faithful, our visi6ls repor the dark lantern society to their cogitations.
 The cause for this dark movement was, however, soon disclosed, for the grand high priest of all the faithful-he who holds their noses to the grindstone and pulls the puppet, hither and thither as he wishss-the great ex- legislator, ex-candidate for Sheriff, sx-Towr Clerk-had sworn great oath, by the living lingo, that he would oust the three democratic Selectmen who last Spring refused to do his bidding and admit three Irishmen to the privileges of voting the ''dimmicratic ticket who plainly couldn't read the ticket they would vote, even though it had been printed in Irish characters, and to make sure of the Board for nsrt Spring, would modestly place himself at the head of it.
 And so, just as he said, To! it was done, SC and no otherwise; and tho following ticket was'graciously permitted to be nominated.
 For Selectmen, Geo. H. Baldwin. Everett H Wright, Daniel Stoddard, Joseph A. Newberry Geo. A. Guernsey.
 For Town Clerk and Registrar, c. J. Deming (with the privilege of declining on Monday.)
 For Tovn Treasurer, Geo. NJ Woodruff.
 Whethe, the faithful will all come under the yoke of their modest and self sacrificing mas ter, as they have hitherto done, will be seer on Monday next. If they do it will not be because their master has succeeded in blind folding their eyes. or kept the light of the ENQUIRER from peering into his dark lantern
 The incumbents thus summarily dismissed from the ticket are ROYAL A. FORD, JAcoI MORSE, JR., and HENRY R. GosLEE.
