WAsHmarox.-The Hawkeye Rifle Club held their second annual tournament on the 18th inst, according to the programme. The day was not very favorable, but despite occasional dashes of rain and absence of friends, who thought no shooting could be done such day, the Hawkeye's kept their powder dry, and put their balls into the targets in a way unknown to the Club before. It should be noted that a Hawkeye is good For any wind or weather.- The distances shot were 55, no and220 yards, the prize to be awarded to the marksmsn mak- ing the best total on all the strings. each string to consist of ten shot.

LITcHFIELD.-Monday was one of the most unpleasant days that we ever experienced at this season of the year. A damp piercing wind blew from the Northwest, making ali our sum- mer residents and some natives look blue enough. Those who had any interest in the coming Cattle Show and Fair wore long faces, while their croaking friends reminded them that they had said it would be so.' But 1'nes- day morning the mercury in the barometer be- gan to rise, which soon dispersed the clouds and gave us clear sky, that we hope will last till Friday anyway.
 On Sunday evening at the Court House, Dr. Jewett, the agent of our State Temperance Society, entertained full audience with one of the most instructive and courteous temper ance addresses that we ever heard. The de- sign of MT. Jewett's lectures is to raise fifty dollars in each town for State Fund for the promotion of the temperance cause. George M. Woodruff, Esq, was appointed Treasurer, to receive subscriptions, and quite an amount, we do not know how much was raised on the spot. We hope Dr. Jewett will come again and We speak for him very large audience.

Exhibition of the Union Ag1 sooie y.
 Ar FALLS VILLAGE, SEPT. 14th 18th.

This is the season of Agricultural Fairs, and every citizen should attend one or more of them with his family, and if he raises anything in his garden or on his farm, or makes any thing in his shop, he should contribute to the Show. 9t .,5. ua. The Union Society have beautiful enclosed grounds on the banks of the Housatonic, which forms nearly half the enclosure. The Society is full of life, as shown by its liberal premium list, the large number of entries and the re- ceipts at the gate. There was slight rain in the morning on each day, but it cleared off early, still it deterred some from visiting the Fair.
 The Show in all the departments was good, but Fruits and Agricultural products were particularly abundant, especially considering the bad season for the former. There were four competitors for the prizes in Garden veg etables, each with a large collection, nine sam pies of Indian corn, and seven of Potatoes, all first rate. The corn was particularly fine, well ripened, and perfect. The Dalton appeared to Uo Cne general ldVoFAte rsUe --.E gl .ssul lt The trial of Draft Oxen made here exceeds anything we have ever seen. The track where the trial is made is sand and gravel. It has been hitherto thought that sixty to seventy great load, and all that any single pair of cat tie could draw, but this year the contest was continued by two pair till eighty hundred was reached, and then terminated by breaking the chain. One or mere other teams withdrew after pulling about sixty five hundred. Now we do not approve of these extreme loads, any more than we do of fast horses Iei4 ss
 E. W. spurr. Esq, of Falls Village, and the other officers may well be congratulated on the entire success of the exhibition. The re- ceipts at the gate were over six hundred dol lars The address was delivered by the Rev. MT. Hunt of Falls Village, and was good practical affair. ...

CoRNwAL.-The store of Pratt G Foster was broken into on Friday night, Sept 18th, and the money drawer emptied of it's contents, amounting to but few dollars, and goods, ready made clothing, &c.. scattered around very promiscuously, But it is supposed that but little was taken, greenbacks evidently being what the burglars wanted. But the safe was too hard nut for them, and in their disap- pointment and haste they left their powder flask. They first broke into the wagon shop to procure tools with which to gain admission to the store. ..s .s.-s. .-

Yet large class of the southern whites are more degraded and ignorant, and stupid, and beastly than he is. They have not had the privileges that he has of associating with intelligent people, Their common sense is of so low an order that it is not equal to his instinct.

KENr.-A new militia company has been re gently formed at Kent Plains, under the name and style of Depot Buzzards' They are right ly named and have already acquired distin- guished reputation for superior drill and unsur. passed brass.

CUTS to exhibit their cheek in it's most beau. teous proportions, and poking their blooming noses into everybody's business but their own. At night they are supposed to rest somewhere in the second story and basement of Phelps ranche. The officers of the company have been unanimously selected as follows: Captain, Ferdinando sterry; lst Lieutenant. Bill Hal leck; 2d Lieutenant, Charles Injun Pan. The company is rapidly filling up with loafers, big and little, and will soon probably be fit candi- dates for another company that makes it's daily march within the stone walls of Wethersfeld. ..5

 If that is not miscegenation' We would like to know it.
 Note. Gen. Slocum the candidate for Secre- tary of State, is stronger war man than even our good President, and does not believe in allowing the Southern States to organize their militia. Hon. Lucius Robinson, would-be controller, is one of the worst nigger worship ers' in the state. Even Mir. Lincoln was not ultra enough to suit him, and he would not vote for him. John Van Buren, candidate for At torney General, is not anything in particular Gen. Patrick, whom they would like to make State Treasurer, is weak minded, jealous and treacherous fellow. As Provost Marshal Gen. eral, he has always given the rebels all the aid in his power. E. o.
