The Sabbath School under the effective management of s. D. Platt, anticipate holling celebration in connection witl adjoining schools, on Wednesday, Sept llth, commencing at II o'clock, 4. NJ. when an address will be delivered by Dr. J. o. Murray of New York. Excellent speeches and singing may be expected.
 The printed notice of Dr. Richards services at Waramaug Lake, in the last Enquirer was erroneous. 1st. there was no Dr. R Ives, or any other Ives present. 2d Dr. Richards Is strictly orthodox, and knows that he was not possessed of the spirit of any such defunct D. D. but spoke his own ideas with clearness and sober ness. I know nothing of your views on spiritual possessions at the office, except as they are gathered from editorials. As lately expressed in articles on the Tempe rance question, they arc right. In the present instance, they knocked my gram mar as we'll as facts into pi. The clause should read : ''Dr. R., after being assist ed ln the opening exercises by Rev. H. Upson, discoursed from Abraham's tent life,' !" &c.

On Saturday the 24th severe thunder shower swept over our town with uncom- monly sharp lightning, 8 high wind, and in some localities there was a sprinkling of hail The rain commenced to pour at about ?. IL and so great was the dark ness that lights were almost indispensable to the ordinary avocations about house
 During the shower, barn owned by Ed ward Welch, and located about one mile east of the centre, was struck by lightning, which with several tons Of hay was entire ly consumed. The loss was estimated at about $500. Mr. Welch not being at home his wife had driven the cows into the barn and commenced milking, previous to the shower. She was somewhat scared, but not hurt, and had the presence of mind to turn out the COWS and thus saved all oi them. By the exertions of the neighbors 8 horse barn standing near was also say. ed c.

IITCHFIELD.

We were not aware Of the extent of the base ball epidemic till wo took drive west, one day las. week. \ little way out of town, we came upon club practising. The disposition of tho players struck us as novel; either the ''pitcher" was very strong, or the "catcher' was yory weak; for two " "felders" wero placed in direct line behind the latter, and ''passel balls and 5d baseman, right and left fielder, short stop and umpire, was young Afri- can, who seemed to yell "fouP' just as inteligently as if he had been human, and not the great grandson of Q gorilla.
 The next club We met consisted of three, with Q young lady of about eight at the bat. Profoundly impressed as we are with the capabilities of our sister citizens, we are inclined to doubt their capacity for base ball.
 In Bantam we came upon another club. This was a much more complete affair, and the "catcher" had 8 cap, passed the ball yenomously around, and would have put a l striker out just as we came up, 'if he had only had man on the lst base" We have sometimes been remonstrated with, for the space we have given base ball re- ports, but our brief experience in the sub- urbs leads us to think we fall rather below 1 than above the average mark of enthusi 1 asm

Mir. Platt imagines there is Q distinction between statute and common law offences, as regards principals in the 2d degree, ac- cessories, attempts, solicitations, &c. No such distinction exists, as we showed in our last article by numerous citations.
 In conclusion, although our difference is one regarding law and not morals, we should greatly like to see reply to the fol- lowing question Would you think it pro- per to use similar means of detection in suppressing houses of prostitution to those you employ for the suppression of rum shops?

His remains were temporarily inferred in Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh, on the 27th ulti~no. A large number of friends attended at lie funeral, but the only rela- tive present, was his cousin William M. Gould, M. D., of Litchfeld Go. Conn. who has been authorized by the U. s. Minister at London, Hon. Q. F. Adams to act as Consul ad interim, ,.Kdt we hope he may re- ceive the permanent appointment. .-Leita Herald. --

THE ENGLISH REFORM B111-TLy fol lowing is a synopsis of the provisions oj the new English franchise bill, as ii passcs! the House of Commons:
 It gives @ vote to every male houoe- holder who personally pays his rates, anJ it makes any other than personal payment illegal. It enfranchises every male lodger of full age who has occupied one year any portion of @ house whose yearly value un- furnished is e13. It enfranchises every
 male householder in counties, who pay ZIP annually as rent. It enfranchises the grad uates of London University, and gives that institution one member; it enfranchises the full aged residents of Oxford and Cam bridge Universities, who will vote in the borough elections of those places. It pro- vides for the notification of all whose rates are due; that carrying voters to the polls shall not be legal in boroughs, with the ex- ception of five large ones; that members appointed to office need not return to their constituents for reelection. The bill pro- tects all existing franchises. The redistri- button part of it disposes of forty-fve seats, which were obtained by disfranchis- ilg four boroughs convicted of gross frauds and taking one member from all boroughs of less than 10000 population. Birming- ham, Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds, are each to have three members. The bor- oughs of Hartpool, Middleborough, Dar- lington, Dewsbury, Staleybridge, Wednes- bury, Gravesend, and Stockton, are to have now, for the first time, one apiece. Stafford and Merthyr Tydvil are to have two instead of one Several suburbs of London are combined under Chelsea, and return 0 member; and a new borough, Hackney, is to be separated from the Tow CT Hamlets. The university of London is to have member. Twenty-Five members are distributed among the counties"
 In the House of Lords, an amendment was offered increasing the lodger rate to el5, but this amendment was finally reject ed, and the bill, in the above form, came up on it's third reading and was passed. It is, therefore, law of the realm.

The full reports which have lately been published in regard to the attack upon Formosa by the American naval forces un der Rear Admiral Bell, show that that af-
 fair was an unmitigated disaster. After fighting all day the forces were obliged to withdraw and the Admiral acknowledges that nothing can be done by waging di- rect war upon these savages, but suggests as remedy that the Chinese government establish station there and exert it's infu- ence to suppress piracy.

1~ We print on our first page long letter from the Rev. s. H. Platt which ap- peared in the Winsted Herald and State Temperance Journal last week. We ar gued the main question so fully in our last that we propose to devote very little space to reply:
 We, ourselves, sent Mir. Platt the copy of our paper of the Sth inst.
 The case of the landlord who rents 8 building for dram shop, the carpenter who builds bar, and the merchant who sells tumbler for the sale ofhquor, is not the one in issue between us because the persons suggested could not be justly con- sidered parties to any particular breach of the law; whereas, a purchaser of liquor causes by his unlawful solicitation the com mission of specific crime in which he is an accomplice. Moreover, the landlord who knowingly rents building to be used as dram shop has been repeatedly prose- cuted and convicted in Mass under their statute.
 Does MT. Platt seriously maintain that when man commits or induces another to commit an act positively forbidden by law, knowingly, "good intent" will serve as legal defense? Does he see no difference between passing by a thicket in which robber is hid, prepared to capture him if he make an assault, and requesting and assisting that villain to rob some one else?
 Suppose the case of Rex vs. Sir John Falstaff ct. a., for the celebrated Gadshill robbery, had gone to trial, and that old Jack had made the Court and Jury believe as lls sers might have done, that he went into Fer purely as ' lever of justice, in old dsso procure the conviction of such notorious thieves as Bardolph An ,cient Pistol, and the rest would he have ben entitled to avsrdiotof ' Not auiIsygg
