BETHLEHEM.

NARROW EscAPE.-A little girl aged years, daughter of Charles Bloss of Beth lehem, went out with her brother aged to the barn yard to see the calves; when a COW that had young Calf flew at her in a great rage tossing her against the barn. The screams of the children soon brought their father who was at work near; the COW in the meantime, was trying hard to get at the little child but fortunately she fell so near the sill of the barn that the siding partially protected her. Mir. Bloss without hesita- tion rushed between the child and the cows head when the animal wheeled and kicked; one foot striking MT. B. and the other hitting the boards just above the lit- tie girls head. Her clothes were torn but she providentially escaped serious injury.

Our Forty-Third Volume.


 With the present number our paper com mences its forty-third year.
 The L1TcEFIELD ENQUIRER has so long since become County institution that it has ontgrown the tendency observable in younger papers to indulge in little glori- fcation of themselves, and little depreci- ation of their rivals, at the termination of each year of their existence. The ENoU1R- FIR has always kept on it's course steadily, without ever becoming burden, pecunia- rily, on its political friends, and never fail ing to be fairly supported by them Dur inga part of the time, Democratic papers have been published in the County; the best of which, well edited (barring it's pol itics,) and under the auspices of an enter prising publisher, was started couple of years since And here it may not be irrel- evant to state as @ strong proof of the su- perior intelligence of our party. that they have supported for about thirteen years, two Republican papers in the County; while, during more than half that time, the Democracy have had none. Throughout the State also, the proportion of Republi- can papers to Democratic will be found to be at least two to one, the former receiving probably much more than double the sup port given to the latter.
 Under it's present auspices, we hope the ENQUIRER may continue to merit the conf- dence of its subscribers, and we shall spare neither pains nor expense in the endeavor to make it such paper as the Republicans of the County have right to expect.
 We think, also, we have right to ex- pect something from our subscribers in re- turn. The leaders of the Democracy hay ing long felt the need of good County paper, have made great efforts to secure the success of the Sentinel Prominent Demo- crats in each town have made it their busi- ness to obtain large lists of subscribers for that paper, justly considering it Q matter of considerable importance to their party. Although no such extraordinary effort is necessary III maintaining well esIapllsueu journal as in starting new one; still, we think the liberal support of their party papers is duty that the Republicans of the Mountain County cannot afford to neg lect It is in the power of our subscribers, also, to add much to the interest of our pa per by sending in local news, promptly. We have, it is true, correspondents who furnish us county items with more or less regularity; but in many localities they are remiss, and in many more we have no cor respondents at all; so that local intelli- gence from any quarter of the county, will always be most gladly received, and in most cases, find place in our columns.

"GuteTprise.'

aF"The Sentinel printed the entire vote of the State in the first paper after election The Enquir CT gave only the vote of Litchfeld County. In it's issue of April 11th, ten doys qf1er e!ectiox, our neghbor is at great pains to point out ''obvious errors in our first report, although it knows full well that it was next to impossible to have 1t cor rect at the time If it would display little enter drise and give the returns instead of picking flaws in the Sentinels report, it would suit it's readers better.-Se,lti7e.
 For the first issue of the Enquirer after the election, we had written returns from all the towns in the county but three. Our table of the Governors vote contained but two mistakes varying the general result but B. That was Enquirer enterprise. The Sen tinel of the nert day, though having the full benefit of our tables, made a success sion of inexcusable blunders, adding there by over 200 to MT. English's actual majority in this county. This obvious inaccuracy we exposed, not out of any desire to pick flaws, but out of regard to the reputation of this good old Union county. In our last weeks issue we had full and we think correct returns from every town and our table shows @ majority for English of only 39 The Sentinel eleren ''days after election still continues blunder from the week be- fore of seventy in Watertown and two small mistakes in Warren and New Milford, thus making English majority in the county 112. The ''enterprise'' shown by the Sentinel in the matter of election returns this year, consisted in clipping and publishing ''the entire vote of the State not only once but turns from t,co towns, and these not chang. ing the majorities. Now, when we can get correctly ''the entire vote of the State" We intend publishing it; but of the county we theughtit our duty to give correct returns, immediately, and have done so. The only serious mistake we made last week was in trusting incautiously to footing of the Sentinels Fairfield County table. The re- turns were correct, but an error of 100 in one of the footings made English's majori- ty in this Congressional District one hun dred less than it should have been.

Greely's American Conflict.

Of all the histories of the war yet pub lished, Greely's is decidedly the best The first volume is @ most excellent work It contains @ candid, able, and correct exposi- tion of the true causes of rebellion, and of the great political struggles which prece- ded the contest of arms. The facts are stated with the force we had expected from so distinguished 6 journalist and with 8 fairness for which we had not looked from one who had taken so prominent part in the "Confict" he describes. In fact, MT. Greely's reputation to-day, is far different from that which he bore ten years since
 He was then regarded as the bitterest po- litical partisan and the best hater in Amer ica. Now he is looked upon as patriotic, whole-souled, somewhat crotchety radical the very reverse of politician-and above all, with the least possible admixture of
 that malice which was supposed to form the principal ingredient in his composition.
 His second volume is, however, by no means equal in merit to the first. Ittreats principally of campaigns and battles, mat ters regarding which his opinions are by no means as valuable or as well-considered as when ante-rebellion politics were his theme
 Nor do we consider all his political esti- mates safe. His statement that, from the fall of 1862 and till the great victories of the summer of 1863, majority of the Northern people desired peace even at the expense of Southern independence, is a mistake In the first place the Democratic party had not then taken any position which would necessarily lead them to such a result. "We want vigorous war Jor the Union, not against Slavery" was the cry on which they nearly carried the North in the fall of 1862, and on which they might have carried Connecticut in the spring of 1863.
 Furthermore, the Republican vote was di- minish ed, by their volunteering in much greater numbers than the Democrats, espe- cially at the west. It was the evident su- premacy of the Peace element of the De- mocracy which enabled us to beat them here in the spring, and which brough. about their entire overthrow in the West. in the fall, of 1863. Our maiorities were of

Reform in England.

From the latest English intelligence, it viii w;Ii he sustained by a majority lt "f Of the House of Commons. A fraction of the Liberal party, nicknamed the "Adul- lamites," being just large enough to hold the balance of power, defeated Gladstone's s Reform bill last year, and after temporarily returning to their old associates, have ''rat- ted" again, and are now voting in the Tory interest.
 The secret of all this dilly- -dallying in the English Parliament is simply this: That body represents only caste; not one-ffth of its members, probably, really desire any radical reform. They are exceedingly afraid of the people, and may grant uni versal suffrage, or something approaching to it, when they see a revolution really i'm minent They now desire to make just such concessions as will soothe the present agitation and no more. For one, we doubt whether anything short of a revolution will give the English people their liberties The overthrow of the State Church, the overthrow of sham monarchy, really only an oGgarchy, the establishment of a gov ernment based on universal suffrage, and Q little wholesome agrarianism, IS what we long to see in Great Britain. The present government of that country is an imposi- ton resting on no foundation in justice and only endured from force of habit. It is timid and vaccillating because it has no support from the masses of the people; and 1t only stands because they are divided Let the men who sing John Browns hymn in the streets of London, and the men who are fighting the military in Ireland, join hands, and strike for government of the people, for the overthrow of the aristocra- cy, and for confscation of their immense landed estates, and they may win, because they will deserve to do so.

eaT- In a rather spicy discussion which arose in the Senate, last week, between Messrs. Ferry and Dixon, the latter denied ever having been Know Nothing. There upon, the following reminder appeared in the Hartford Courant:
 - Mir. James Dixon complains in the United States Senate that the Courant has little to say since the election to the adopted citizens of Connecticut To oblige MT. Dixon, we will now tell them one quite interesting fact. few years ago, this Mr. Dixon, who all his life has been all things to all men, was a member of the know nothing order, and in common with that order, advocated the principle that no American citizen of forelgn birth should vote until he had resided here during twen- ty-one years. Mir. Dixon, with that convenient for getfulness which often characteriZes men of his sons living in Hartford whose word is quite az good as that of Mir Dixon who are ready to testify that they heard this obivious Senator take the obliga- tions in know-nothing lodge. On the 9th of Au- gust, 1856, Mir. Dixon attended know-nothng convention ill this city and took part in it's pro. ceedings, both by speaking and voting in his ca- paclty as member of the know-nothng party And yet this very honorable gentleman to-day rises in his seat in the United States Senate and saws "I never belonged to the party" meaning know nothing lodge. Mir. Dixon's ideas of the Serato- rial character do not appear include the yrfne f yeracity We are afraid that if his father had o;v en him 6 hatchet, he would have cut down anv number of trees, and would have forgotten ail about the matter before the time for the interview with the elder Dixon arrived.
