CORNWALL.

Some Of our farmers were caught by the recent storms and sudden freezing up. In some instances, roots were frozen in the ground, stables were filled with unhusked corn, cattle could not be sheltered, and fix ing up generally for winter had to be done after winter was upon them. Cornwall presents about as great a variety of farm ing as can be found anywhere. We have only to mention such names as the Messrs Colds, Scoyilles, Harts. Rogers, Brawsters, Rouses, Miners, and others, to prove that we have really thorough farmers. But on the other hand. we could give names pre- senting examples Of as shiftless ppsetices as can be found anywhere, -men holding hundreds Of acres, with not decent tool to work with, with their cattle, sheen, hors- es and hogs roaming at large in the streets. on their neighbors' lands, and in their own crops and meadows. No longer ago than last week, the moving machine was run ming, before and after the snow storm. and oii Afshti oi HA1IL At Htfo hfSiu tiittt 4ta l3G- mer owner, finding that he conld not blow it. and that it was dangerous to feed it, was constrained to now it; and there, in just the condition it was. fifty years ago, only more so, the machine WAS running till g 0 clock at night.

During the year ending with Nov. 3d, 27 individuals have united wieh the Congregational church ca profession Of their faith and several more are still hoping, but waiting.
 IA small barn filled with hay, on the farm owned by the heirs of the late Cicero Col lins was burned early in the morning ot Tuesday the 18th.

Consequently notwithstan- ding the severe storm, a Grand Juror and an Esquire must be looked up from tho out skirts of the town, one some 2 miles in one direction and the other an equal dis l tance in another.

ANCIENT FINE ARTS.

To he Editor of the Neac Fork Herald:
 Respecting the relics of porcelain ware found in the late exhumations at Hercula- neum, which have been forwarded to the Society of Antiquities in London, whereof your correspondent says the bottle resem- bling Drake's Plantation Bitters was un- doubtedly placed among the ruins by the agent of Dr. Drake, we desired to state he is incorrect in every respect If bottle was found there bearing our lettering, the language of the Ancient Romans was diff ferent from the accepted literature of that day. Our Agent has other business than this in Europe, and has not been in Italy at all. No doubt Americans carry Planta- tion Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon society of Antiquarians in this way, seems quite useless, and we do not appre- ciate the joke. It is unnecessary for us to spend money in Europe while we are un- able to supply the demand for these cele- brated Bitters here
 Respectfully,
 P. H. DRAKE < co.

 THE New Haven school board has voted to introduce drawing into the schools, where practicable, and require teachers to possess knowledge of it's rudiments. The Catholics of the city are endeavoring to place their public schools under the su- pervision of the board, as is done at New Britain and Waterbury, that the scholars may receive the per capita allowance from the state fund. .

 Thomas W. Conway says in letter on Southern politics: ''If you prevent all from voting in these States except the educated, then you turn the government into the hands of the old Rebel aristocracy, and the masses of the people will be subjected to an oppression almost equal to slavery itself. AS to the proofs, the Registration returns in North Carolina show one county with about two hundred white voters, only Mi,'- ty of whom were able to write their names Another county gives little more than two hundred white voters, with but forty who can write their names"
 Dr. Livingstone's brother-in-law, Mir. J. s. Moffat, himself an African traveller of experience, discredits the story of the great explorers death. He says all the evidence of his death comes through one great chan nel, that is, the Johamamen, and that their stories are conflicting and cannot be deem ed conclusive. They are contradicted by stories of Arab traders who passed through the country, and by the Sultan of Laugi- oar, who has had news of Livingstones ar rival at point beyond the alleged scene of the murder. The period during which Livingstone heard from does not exceed i twelve months, and he was silent longer than that on 8 former journey. He is not on any travelled route, and could not send letters home.

 Chaplain H. Clay Trumbuil preached ir the Second Congregational Church, on the evening of Thursday last. The Rev. gentleman had scarce begun his sermon, when the gas; ny which the church is light ed, began gradually to grow dim. The sexton perceiving that the lights were on the wane, hastened to bring lamps, and ar rived just in time to save the audience and preacher from total darkness. The cause of all the trouble was found to be, that Tommy" the gas man, was on a spree, and. neglecting his business, had failed to turn on the gas at the fountain head.

Conservative Re Repuplioanism.

Although radical in principle, the Re- publican party is largely conservative in it's composition. Drawing its chief strength from the middle class, with little admix- ture of the foreign, and non-property hold ing American elements, we number in our ranks many who cannot forget the proper ty qualification, Native American notions of the old Whig party ; nor that, hitherto, every approach to universal suffrage has been to their party disadvantage-who would much rather disfranehise the Irish man than enfranchise the negro. This class of Republicans has been large enough to defeat nearly every impartial suffrage amendment referred to the Northern peo- pie during the few years past. Of their conduct, Radicals of Democratic antece- dents have peculiar right to complain. They have supported the Republican party because they believed in its principles, and the application of those principles led un- avoidably, first. to the emancipation, and then to the enfranchisement of the negro. It is not so pleasant 8 thing, breaking the ties that bind old political friends, and cut ting loose from old party prejudices, that men do it to get out of one sham democra- cy into another. Annoying, however, as the action of Conservative Republicans has been, and disagreeable as is the appearance ot treachery and inconsistency, they have managed to fix upon our party conduct, It IS sufficiently evident that the mass of Republicans are determined to sacrifice no principle. Impeachment, confscation, dis franchisement, may be abandoned, but not enfranchisement
 The most serious evil result of the defec- ton of our weaker brethren will be felt in our loss of that influence with the South ern States, soon to be organized. to whicl. 2 fair degree of consistency would have en. titled us. The prejudice of color shown here will, we fear, incline the negro more than eyer to band his race together against
