The funeral of Edward Kellogg Esq, representative member of the Connecticut Legislature, was held on Sunday, P. M. the 27th instant, in the Episcopal church, Rev. J. B. Cleaveland of the Congregational So- ciety, officiating The services were held at this place for the reason that it was near the residence of the deceased, and near al- so to the cemetery where his remains were to be buried.

Aid for the South.

On Friday evening last, large meeting was held at New York, to organize South ern Relief Association. Mr. Greedy, in a few remarks, made with that simplicity an d kindiness peculiar to the man and most appropriate to the. occasion, set forth the causes which have led to the appalling ca- lamity impending over that section of our country: Near half million of Southern men were destroyed or disabled by the war; the country was ravaged and an inn mense amount of property consumed and destroyed by the contending armies: the money capital of corporations and individ- uals was entirely lost; and their whole la- bor system overthrown. Then came the failure of seed cotton, the unprecedented drought, and the army worm These evils under ordinary circumstances would have caused Americans little uneasiness and scarcely any suffering; but they have fallen with almost fatal effect upon population previously enfeebled by tremendous loss Of force, physical and financial.
 Private and public accounts unite in tell ing us that in the upper counties of South Carolina, Georgia, Alsbama, and Mississip- pi, there is not food enough of the mean est description to keep their population from actual starvation till spring; still less till another harvest Other portions of those States are in somewhat better condi- tion, but they have neither the means nor the credit to assist their more unfortunate neighbors. Under such. circumstances, there can be no doubt of the duty of the North We should extend that assistance to- our conntrymen which we have never failed to give starving Ireland or England

These cold snow and wind storms, so long continued and often repeated, make the farmers look to their hay which were never too large when commencing tc feed, and are fast diminishing It is prob able, however, that with careful feeding the supply will be sufficient to carry stock through.
 The crops of '66 were smaller than an average, excepting perhaps the potato crop. Farm improvements have not been SO ex. tensive or general as usual, with, perhaps, more attention to Farm buildings, repair. ing of houses, painting, &c. Something more than year ago, MT. John Calhoun bought the house and land of J. P. Stone, and has been expending literally in gra- ding, fencing, painting and fitting up gen. orally, and materially improving the ap- pearance of the village of South Cornwall. Pity something of the kind could not be done for North Cornwall. Some of the old rookeries within half mile of the church could be spared as well as not.
 West Cornwall felt herself left out in the cold last week, on account of the fail ure of the ENQUIRER to make it's usual ap pearance. Whats the matter? Ask MT. White.-ED.
