L1rcHFIELD,-We are enjoying our Indian Summer, with it's pure air and warm sunshine. The sunsets in Litchteld County, at this sea son, are magnf ent. We do not believe they are surpassed in any country or climate. The sun goes down behind the far off hills in glory, and the hazy clouds that finger in his path are draped in robes of glowing beauty. These days are the last kind looks that Summer gives us and after them we may expect the speedy coming of Winter. a -. ..gs..--....... - Two gentlemen from Bridgeport, Geo. w Warren and H. Jones, came to Litchfield on Tuesday to offer 10 Rev. Mir. Richards the pas torate of one of the Congregational churches in that city, at d salary of $300O. Although this offer is very complimentary to Mir. Rich ards ability as minister, we hope he will de- eide to remain here among his many and tried friends. -7f .s- ..i..ll #
 Our streets, on Sunday, were disgraced by exhibitions of boisterousness and drunken ness, rivalng those of the most depraved sec tions of our great cities. It is shame that a, community like this should be made the thea tire for such reye,ing and sacrilege. The whole disturbance as fal ,s as we could see, was con ducted by members of the >. conservative party, of foreign birth. We thiull the time has come when the honor and peace of our village should be protected, and we cali upon those men in whose hands the power lies to prevent any more such disgraceful exhibitions.
 s--tO On Saturday evening, Hon, G.. H. Hol- lister, was thrown out of his carriage and bad lY injured. He in company with Sheriff Wes- sells, was returning from the Milton part ofthe town, when just this side of Harris Plains, he met a team aud turned out to pass The fore wheel, on the side upon which Mr Hollister was sitting, suddenly struck rock with such force as to throw him violently upon the ground. His sshoulder was probably discolated ard he was otherwise bruised, but it is hoped that he will speedily recover from his injuries.
