GET THE BEST.
The Iafest Fashions.

From the best authority on Fashions ia TIC
- United States.
Since The beginning of Spring, We have
received numbcrless letters from subscribers.
pan ticularly from those residing at distance
from the metropolis, rs TO whether the reign
of crinoline may be considered permanent for
this season. and. if so, what is the most APP
proved style and shape for hoops. The sub
iect is much more serious one Il an at first
appears, for the most expensive and tasteful
dress, in spite OF the utmost efforts of the
most skillful of dressmakces, will be wanting
in elegance and style if wore over an i'll sha-
pen or questionable hoop. In view of this.
we ave given the subject of crinoline Our es-
pecial attention and after comparing, and
fully entering into the respective merits of
each and all of the claimants to public favor,
we have concluded that Bradleyis New En-
press Trail Duplex Elliptic Skirt, (of which
we give as an illustration,) is the style. of all
others, best adapted to the present fashions of
the ladies, and also the most graceful, stylish
and elegant Skirt ever produced. 1t has no
rival, except perhaps, in another of Bradley's
most popular styles. called the Pride of the
World" which has all tho merits of the for
mer in regard to fiexibility, durability, COM
fort and economy. ETC., differing from it only
in shape.-Frank LsSlie's Lady's Magazine,
Nay, 1866.
p. S.-Messrs. Vests. Bradley d Cary are
the sole owners and exclusive manufacturers
of the above justly celebrated Duplex
Skirts" and we are Informed by them that
the demand for the " Duplex Elliptic Skirt"
thus far this year had been more than double
that of any previous year since they intro
duced this remarkable invention to the pub
&c. and the demand is largely increasing daily
from every section of the U. S. as well as 9TH
er countries.

ABOUT DANIEL WEBsTER.-Our greatest men have their weaknesses, and the great l Webster was not exempt from his share. One was an occasional over indulgence in vinous potations. The following anecdotes taken from gossipy article in Fyazer's
 Magasine, are amusing, though certain re- gret that one so intellectually great could ever fall so low, tinges the laughter they l awaken with shade of sadness.
 At public dinner where Webster had 10 speak, he had to be prompted by friend ana on hls making pause, the friend be- hlnd hlm lnsinuated National debt' Web ster at once fired up: ssAnd. gentlemen there's the National debt-it should be paid: yes, gentlemen, it should be paid, and d-d if 1t shan't be paid. I'll pay it myself! How much is it? And as he made this que- ry, with drunken seriousness, of a gentle man near him, taking out his pocket book, ! which was always notoriously empty, the absurdity was too much for the audience. Another of his speeches is reported in full, and as it is very brief, we will do it the like compliment: "Men of Rochester, am glad i to see you, and am glad to see your noble city. Gentleman, saw your falls which I am told are one hundred and fifty feet high. That is very interesting fact. Gentlemen, Rome had her Cesar, her Scipio, and her Brutus; but Rome in her proudest days had never waterfall hundred and fifty feet high. Gentlemen, Greece had her Pericles Demosthenes and her Socrates; but Greece in her palmiest days never had waterfall hundred and fifty feet high! Men of Roch- ester go on. No people ever lost their lib critics who had 8 waterfall one hundred and fifty feet highv'
 These would have been reassuring days for the great statesman.

TORRINGTON CATTLE SHOW.

The first annual Cattle Show and Fair of the Torrington Agricultural Society held in WolcottviHe, Oct, 24th, 1866. Con- sidering the lateness of the season, and the very short notice given, was decided suc- cess. The day being fair the people of this and the adjoining towns turned out in
 goodly numbers. ...... The trains of working cattle were very
 fine indeed, and deserve especial mention.
 It was the opinion of all good judges of cattle present that better display had
 never been made in the county. The Litchfeld train consisting of eighty four pairs of working cattle did great credit to
 that town, while our own Farmers may well
 feel proud of the ninety-seven pairs exhibi- ted by them. Particular attention was at
 tracted to the five pairs of heavy working cattle belonging to Aaron Thomas, Esq, of Thomaston. The show of Devon, Durham, and Native Stock was good, that of Cows and Calves limited but fair, of Heifers ex- ceedingly fine, fair exhibition of Bucks and Ewes, while finer display of Poultry could hardly be made in the State. The exhibition of Dairy products was limited, while that of Agriculture was deserving of great commendation, as was also the dis play of domestic manufactures, consisting of Embroidery, Crochet work, Bed Quilts, Hearth Rugs, and many other articles both useful and ornamental. Our Manufactur- ing Companies made very little effort to display their goods; however, what was done goes to prove that in future that de- partment may be made particularly attrac tive. Below is given list of awards by the several committees.

STABLING HORSES.

It is astonishing to see how universally the horse is maltreated and abused. I will not speak of the various abuses he receives from exposure to extremes of heat and cold-from overdriving, improper feed ing-but confne myself, in these remarks, to the cruel practice of making our colts our fine horses-stand on the hard board and stone floors. It is no wonder that we see so many lame, tender-footed, spavined, wind -galled horses. The laws of nature have been contravened and the horse must suffer thereby. Providence designed that the horse should stand on the ground, and his teachings we always slight. It is mat ter of great importance to every owner of a good horse that he allows him to stand on the ground. It will prevent many diseases, the ringbone is most always brought on by the horse standing on the hard stable floors; it will save 8 large bill of expenses for stable floor plank .-.. - F
 It will save all your liquid manure. It will give the animal better and more even temperature to breathe in.
 It will save the horse in great measure. from the torment of flies. It is a more comfortable place by far for horse. in the Summer. than the open field. 5IE
 It saves expense in shoeing. The horse stamps very much less, standing on the ground II rAG IT --
 The ground keeps the foot and hooi moist so that the hoof gets it's full growth. But often on stable floor the growth of the hoof is checked and consequently dis ceased and the horse very much injured thereby. I have my COWS and horses all stand on the ground. It is altogether the better way. 'fss AS. R. E.
