 The loss of leg by Lieut. Col. Legge.t, of the 10th Connecticut volunteers was accustomed says the New London Chronicle, by sipeu. lar circumstance. Being in the trenches be- fore Fort Wagner on the llth of July last, . shell from the enemy burst about twenty.ive feet from him. A fragment struck his swsrd (steel scabbard) which hung at his side, and bending the lower part in half circle threw it against his leg, severing it completely just above the ankle. The cut was so clean that not even skin held the foot to the limb Ho has the sword now bearing upon the sheath the intention made by the she'll The wound is nearly healed, when, with an artificial leg, he expects to take the field again.
 Too BAD.-Miss Jerusha Pear is flair, fat and forty," and unmarried. She manages to obtain an honest and comfortable living by keeping small shop of 'no,ions" in the lower part of the city. She is spruce old dame, and among other articles, vends beer. One evening customer called for glass of the beverage, inqaring at tue same time if it was ne,c made beer.
 "No," exclaimed waggish bystander, just as the worthy dame was about to reply in the affirmative, Il can assure you it is old maid beer"

WEo SHALL BE SpEAKEH.-Since it has been definitely asc rtained that there would be a clear working majority in favor of the Admin istration, in the next Congress, the question is beginning to be agitated as to who shall be the next Speaker ofthe House of Representatives. And as the last three Speakers were from the East, it is generally conceded that the West should furnish the man for the coming session. Several prominent Western men have been named for that position, but while we do not pretend who our Representatives may choose, we feel very well satisfied if it was left for the people of the West to decide. they would select the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, almost without dissenting voice. No man in the country stands so fair on the record as this favorite son of inflammation OAio 7ele- graph.
 We second the motion There will be no abler man in the next House, than Schuyler Colfax, nor one better fitted by ability as a statesman, experience as 8 parliamentalian, or uprightness as man for the position of Speaker. Let Conn ,cticut give her three loy- al votes for Colfax, while her fourth goes to Fernando Wood, or Dan Voorhies of Colfax $ State.

tlcal. A clerical friend and cerres poadent of ours, haiiing from the hill tops of Goshen, but well known for his perambulating peregina- lions throughout the county, tells u, that he started from home enc day last week with an animal of the feliae persuasion, intending to carry it in his wagon, to friend of his. some eighteen miles distant, When about half the distance, the cat made sudden and uaccri- mon1ous bolt from the wagon,-like eata- dupe,-greatly to the grief of the dominie, "ho proceeded on his way after this sudden cataiysis of partnership, catless, and, if we may believe him, in a oataclysm of tsar-.
 This cat, we may remark, like the above eat, was pet of the dominic, and constant catechism to his children. Whether he slspt regularly with it, however, we are not so we'll informed. He tells us, however. that he jour- neyed on, sorrowfully, to the end, and in due time returned home again, meantime seeing or hearing nothing of the cat, and fearful it had met it's cataconb or would reappear again only, if ever, in catsup But fully three days atterward, while the dominic was devourinp h1s matutinal meal, the voice of oaterwaulinp was heard upon his outer stone wall, and up on opening up the vista, through the kitchen door, To tabby :! "home from the wars ]"
 If any of our readers can explain the curi- ous concatenation of circumstances, by which this cat, and the other cat, found their wind ing way back to their discovered domicils and dominic, We should be glad of categorical explanation. Until then we shall be compelt ed to place the story in the category of cat optrical illusions, and will willingly admit our account to have been made the catspaw of mero oatachrssis.

1~We hear in certain quarters complaints against the Governor of this State for the part he is alleged to have taken, in procuring the removal of the two members of the late Board Of EnrolImeut in this district. We have the best authority for stating, that the Governor was influenced to move in the matter, on the application of some of the most tprominent and loyal men of the district, and fupon the almost unanimous sentiment of the communities inter- ested. We have also positioe evidence that the Governor endeavored to secure fair and i'm. partial trial of the members removed, before their removal, but the Government, in view of the facts presented, seemed to consider that there was no necessity for trial, and hence overruled the Goyernor's wishes and request iu this matter.

LITCHFIELD, CONN.,, THURSDAY. OCT. Is. 1868.
Pennsylvania and Ohio.

The glorious news which we receive this week from the noble Keystone and Buckeye States, will cheer the heart of every loyal man not alone in Connecticut, but through the length and breadth of the Republic, from Maine to California. It is two Union victo. ries gained in one day, and as pronounced tri. u,nphs for the Republic as were the driving back of the rebel hordes at Gettysburg. or the clearing out of the same invaders from beyond the banks of the Ohio. Thanks to the brave Hearts and hands of the honest masses of those great States, they are still masters of their OWE soil; and the great curse which has for time overhung them, and the terrible dis grace and disaster which threatened them, has been thrust aside, and Pennsylvania and Ohio still stand hand in hand, with the other loyal States, with purer and nobler.patriotism and loyalty for this baptism they have passed through.
 We congratulate our readers, everywhere, on this suspicious result. It is enough to reflect what gloom and sorrow would have overspread the land in the event of the election of either Tallandigham or Woodward to the gubernato- rial chairs of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The loyal people of New England and the West would have just reason to fear that a majority of tho people of those great states had pro- nounced against the War for the Union, and :, in one of the m at least, for separation and dis tnct recognition of the shareholders confeder. aey. Nor would this alone sum up the effect of the election of Woodward and Vallandig- ham, but by placing the former in power, the whole machinery of tho state would have been in the hands of the opponents of the govern ment, and the election of the latter must have unavoidably, brought on an immediate collision between the State and Federal governments.
 Now, we may be sure of the support of these great states in the War for the Union until a lasting and permanent peace shall be conquer cd. Jeff Davis and his minions at home and abroad will be again dismayed and dishearten- si by the news, and Vallandigham will chew the cud of bitterness in his exile, and power. lessly gnash his teeth over the verdict of his own fellow citizens. New England and New York send their greeting to their noble sisters of the West, and California will echo back its congratulations of well done

A CoRREsPosDENr from Winsted writes us of small occurrence in that village, on the occasion of visit of ''ghost'' to that re- zion, which ve do not think worth while to burden our columns with. The "gist" of it is that apersmbulating ghost thought proper to put up at one of the first class hotels in Win. sted, instead of third class, Whereupop an editor and tavern. keeper .waxed wroth, in- terrupted the ghost in tho midst of his per formance, ard demanded $2.25 for a permit for the privilege of performing elsewhere than in "Fsyther's House." And that's about the way the Wiasted people tell the Ghost story.

CoscERN1Na CArs-A Travelling Cat.-A wonderful instance of feline affection occurred Q short time ago. A person named Marsh AL len, residing at Willoughton, England, who is in a very delicate state of health, went to Hull to put himself under medical treatment, leav- ing his cat, which is under twelve months old, at Wiiloughton. One day, after he had been there some time, happening to go into the back yard of the house at which be was stay ing, he observed cat sitting on the outer wall, He carelessly called ''Pussy." when the animal to his great surprise, jumped from the wall, rushed upon his shoulder and into his bosom, commenced licking his face, and exhib- iting every evidence of delight and affection of which he was capable. He at once perceiv- ed that it was his own cat, which he had left safely at Willoughton and his astonishment at the startling fact may be readily imagined On examining the animal he found that its claws were completely worn of with walking, and that it presented other appearances of having undergone great fatigue How it suc- ceeded in crossing the Humber, or indeed in performing the journey (about ffty miles) at All, must now remain mystery. It may be mentioned as partly accounting for the vio- lent affection displayed by this poor member of the feline race, that Allen was very fond of the animal, and, in his sickness, had been in the habit taking it to bed with him--Ez- change.
