 two editorials, the former printed in the Bridge. port Standard on.the l4th Sept, 1864, and the
 latter appearing in the Etchfeld Sentinel last week. If we did not know that the editor of the Sentinel was most consistent and con servative democrat we should think there must be some affinity between him and the antislayery editoreo of the ,standmd. d.peaWe re- member now, to have often noticed that the 'SenfPeFe locals are apt to follow to the let ter, those printed the day before in the EN.- ou1RER. We have always supposed that he 6o'ro'oed those. but possibly his powers of imi- tation are so great as to produce this result
 We would advise John to try to overcome his mania for such oineidences; for the great mass of his readers will not understand it, and will get to believing that he steals everything orig inaP in his paper. 'ssf~ E:g !sod- 5 rS#ag <

 It is to be regretted that the frequeaters of our summer retreats, and particularly those who while away the hot months among our New England hills, do not remain later It is acknowledged by all who have experienced the pleasures of our climate and the beauties of our landscape scenery during the months of Sep tember and October, that they are the most en- Joyable portions of the year. The clear and clsudless skies, the cool. bracing atmosphere. which takes the place of the feryid heats of Ju- ly and August, and the health-giving breezes hat ha ,nu %h ! invite exercise in the open air Now is the time for walking horseback riding, driving, hunting. boating, and all the out door, sports, which--in the hot summer months-are often more like labor than pleasure. The roads are now in good condition, free from the hot, si- rocco-like gusts that scorch and blind at once j; the streams that have gasped for many week for very life :n their dried up beds. flow merri- ly along between flooded banks; the air, reson- ant with the hum of bees and the chirp of crickets, is laden with the Autumn sweets of fruits and grain, and flowers, and all nature joins in one meodious song of thanksgiving.

 We think that pleasure seekers and those too, in search of health, mistake Tn deserting the country so early. Whoever has experi- enced the pleasures of our climate and the beauties of our landscape scenery curing Sep tember and October must, needs acknowledge that it is the most enjoyable portion of the year. The clear cloudless skies, ths cool, bra cing atmosphere which takes the place of the fervid heats of July and August, and the health giving breezes which sweep the bills, invigor- ate the system and invite exercise in the open air. Now is the time for walking, riding, driv,- ing, hunting, boating. and all the out door sports which in the hot summer. months are more like labor than pleasure. The roads are now in good condition, free from the hot, siroc- co-like gusts that scorch and blind at once the prospects in the woods will soon begin to open as the leaves fak {; the air, resonant with the hum of bees and the chlrp of crickets, is laden with the autumn sweets of fruit and flowers; the brooks hum merrily along between flooded banks, and all pature joins in one me-
 odious song of thanksgiving. The forests are fresh and wholesome, the fruit trees bend with their ripened loads, the vines are heavy with their purple stores, and the golden maize stand waiting for the gardner's hand. Far away toward the blue horizon stretch hill and valley, variegated with harvest robes of gold and russet brown wild-fuwers, respendant in tue early morn with pendants of diamond dew, deck the fields with their gayest hues; and the forests which, since the advent of spring, have worn the same unvaried dress, will soon put on their richest garb rivalling the rainbow in the gorseousness of their tints. Even now, like dashes of silver amid the locks of age, flakes of yellow gold begin to appear in the foliage of the graceful elms, while the naples, the first, to draw fresh loyeliness from decays aeffacing fingers, exhibit a l the shades from their nat urai green to bright orange and the deepest crimson. Nothing, indeed, can exceed the beauty Of our autumn woods, and pleasure seekers would be amply repaid to remain after the gay season did they see nothing else.

 D9r The re union of the Officers of the Sec ond Artillery, at the Clarke House in Winsted, on Friday evening, was a very pleasant affair. About thirty of the officers, with a large num- Der of friends, many of them ladies, were pres ent.
