Bag Dispatches from Washington show what are the present results of Democratic agitation against the public debt, and we can expect much more of the same sort if they carry many Northern States this fall The following is the Courant's dispatch:
 A Washington dispatch says that the tone of all ohclal information from Europe is to the effect that the recent speeches finance are being used by speculators, and parteswho are hostile to the United States, with the greatest industry and with cons!derabe effect in depreciating our national credit: The United States bonds have fallen very considerably, merely through these influences, within the last few weeks, and that Reuters tele- grams manifested the utmost alacrity in dissemi- natlnS reports concerning our finances, bearing the worst construction, and an absurd rlmor has even found it's way into Europe and has gained considerable credence, that the November interest due on our bonds is to be paid by the secretary of the treasury in greenbacks instead of gold To these statements and reports official reply has been furnished, that practically an expression on tnls suDject IS useless, as one can reasonably doubt that even with a moderate degree of pros per1ty the paper currency of the United States will be on par with gold long before the time when gold-bearing securities of the United States will be presented for payment, the first issue ot the five-twenty bonds having yet about fourteen years to run Therefore it is insisted that the pres
 ent discussion, as to whether the bonds are paya- ble Ill gold or not, leads to no practical good.

lB" A YoUNa LADY returning to her country home, after soujourn of a few months in the City, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place of course, rustic flushed face, she had q soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth ness and instead of twenty three she really ap. peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great q change, she plainly told them that she used Ciroassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentle man can improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in It's com mbination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in it's efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By it's direct action on the cuticule it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur face as Nature intended it should be-, clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.

INVESTED

The laying of concrete walks has nearly closed for the season. This borough has now about one and half miles of walk constructed of fagging, one and half miles of concrete, and q half mile of plank, making total of about four md half miles of good walk laid in the borough.
 Rev. MT. Potter, the Evangelist, com menced his labors here on Sunday, the 18th ult, and is to remain here Q week over the following Sabbath. The two Congre- gational Churches and the Methodist. all unite in holding their services, while he re- mains.
 Town election passed off very quietly, and but little exertion was made on either side. the Republican ticket being elected by about the usual maj jority of 80 to 90 votes. Only about one half the votes of the town were boiled.
 Horse thieves have again got to work through this State and in Massachusetts A young man by the name of Albert Skin her. who lives in Canton, Conn.,, stole a horse in the vicinity of Hartford, was caught, bailed out by his father, and ab- seconded. In less than week, he stole ah- other horse of B. Strong, at Northampton, Mass. This was about the 4th of October Parties were here on Sunday in pursuit of the Northampton horse, and left some bills, and on Monday the horse was driven into town by young man from Colebrook River, who, it seems. had traded for the same. Deputy Sheriff Horne took the horse on the advertisement,a and on Monday night, parties who were in pursuit came for the same, paid the reward and took away the team. It seems that the thief, Skinner, arrived at Colebrook River Saturday night, in his journeyings, and appeared to be such '' nice young man" that he worked himself at once into the good graces of the people of the place, attended church on the Sabbath, and assisted in the devotions of the afternoon by playing the organ. Monday night he left, taking with him g gold watch, which he received in trade fol the stolen horse. Tuesday morning, he was heard from in Canton, and Deputy SherifHorne started in pursuit.

Elias Howe Jr.

| On Thursday night last, Elias Howe Jr. the chief inventor of the sewing machine, died at Brooklyn L. I. He had been suf- fering long time from some disease of the kidneys, as was supposed, and finding no relief at the hands of the best physi- clans he applied to @ female clairvoyant, with very beneficial results, it was reported Whether relapse was brought on by inn prudence or, as is more probable, there had only been temporary abatement of the difficulty, his disease soon took an unfavor- able turn and proceeded rapidly to fatal termination
 It is not easy to estimate the benefit this one mans ingenuity has conferred on the human race. He has materially frightened the toll of that class of laborers who need ed help most. It is undoubtedly true that our sewing women work too hard still; but there is no longer any real necessity for it; it is the plain result of the stronger sex forcing the weaker out of nearly every lu: crative business into few over-crowded, ill-paid employments If, at the end of this generation, Hoods 'Song of the Shirt speaks such truth of that time as of the past, the less our children say of ''our glo- rious institutions the better How many hours of exhausting, unhealthy labor Elias Howe's invention has saved the women of nearly every New England household we will not attempt to estimate; enough, cer- tainlv, if fapplied to useful reading to make them more intelligent race than their 'natural protectors"
 Much outcry is ignorantly raised against the practical tendencies of our age. The ingenious man, not the intellectual man, is the hero, it is said, of the Nineteenth Century. Can they not see that it is this very Ingenuity which prepares the way for Intellect? It is by means of these tire. somely practical labor-saving machines, by means of that judicious division of labor which has abolished the clumsy "Age o1 Homespun, that our generation accom- plishes greater results by ten hours work pe, diem than our fathers did in twelve These two hours honestly reclaimed from hard manual labor make that culture possi ble without which the intellectual man has no audience. Let us Americans, therefore be duly grateful to Elias Howe and his fel- low inventors who have saved time for oul men and women to continue that educa tion our common school systems only be- gin.

GarabaIdi.
treasurer.

The relations between Garabaldi and the Italian monarchy are very unique. He is @ thorough radical, submitting to constitu- tional monarchy under protest-the most active and successful of living revolution ists, the most turbulent of subjects, he is at great pains to denounce European ''res- probabilities, and to avow his determina- tion never to let them lead quiet lives. Yet it is as much as the life of any Italian gov ernment is worth to deal harshly with him. Not because it would have an ungrateful look in the king who owes half his king dom to him, who has often sought his assis- tence in great emergencies, for the world can view great deal of ingratitude quite pa- tiently-but because Garabaldi is the true representative of the Italian people. Hence the Ministry are at their wits end to know what to do with their captive. Victor Elm manuel does not find it either very popu- lar to be the Pope's jailor; yet he must turn the key or down goes the papacy for space, till that pious nephew of pious uncle puts himself at the head of the Zou- ayes and other crusaders, and brings the arm of the flesh to the assistance of his affectionate Father.
 The Pope. himself, administered the sharpest rebuke to the Italian government when he sent his thanks for the seizure of Garabaldi not to Victor Emmanuel, the inn mediate agent, but to Napoleon III.

N ews Of the Week

FOREIGN. news from Italy contin- ttes to be of the most exciting nature. It appears that upon Garabaldi's refusing to give his parole to refrain from hostilities against the Pope he was transferred to Ga prera. He appears, however, to have been under surveillance, for, having escaped to the main land, he was again arrested, taken back and is now under guard at his own house. Tine arrest of Garibaldi, however, has not put stop to the revolution in the Papal States. Viterbo one of the Romish provinces has been Geyolutionized, and the Papal troops repulsed in two attacks, while volunteers are invading the Roman terri tory on all sides. The enthusiasm of the people and the indignation at the arrest of Garibaldi continue unabated. Galibaldi has issued a stirring appeal from Caprera urging his friends to march forthwith on Rome. It is reported that King Victor Emmanuel has made an appeal to the great Powers of Europe against the provisions of the September treaty, which bind the Ital- ian Government to prevent any infraction of the temporal dominion of the Pope, and that Prussia favors this appeal.

THE shop owned by MT. Henry Wheeler took fire on the 1st inst, and was totally destroyed. The loss is about $2, 500. The shop was occupied by Gabriel X Lounsbu ry, who lost all their tools, which were very valuable. There was no insurance.
 GEN. ToM THUMB and his wife, and Con- modore Mutt and Miss Minnie Warren, gave an entertainment in Bridgeport, in behalf of the Library Association, which netted nearly $500.

 WHILE Mr. c. E. Plumb and wife, of Trumbull, were returning from the county fair, and were crossing the Housatonic rail road track at the upper mills in Trumbul!, freight train dashed furiously over the road. Mir. Plumb succeeded in getting his horse and carriage across the rails, but the horse turned and fell, and as the train passed, the end of @ car struck the animal on the head, killing him instantly. The train was behind time. MT. Plumb is some $20O out of pocket by the accident.

The New Milford Dedication.

The final result of the arrest of Mir. Conklin, the defaulting cashier, will ap- pear from the following news item in the N. Y, Tribune of Friday last:
 PouaHKEEps1E.-On Tuesday morning, John J.. Conklin, cashier of the First National Bank of New Milford, Conn.,. was arrested at the depot in absconded. being defaulter to the Bank to the amount of $50, 900, which sum he had lost in stock operations. He was committed to jail by the Sheriff and dispatch was sent to New Milford ask being returned up to evening of that day, he was set at liberty.
 We published last week the facts exactly as we had learned them, without comment, preferring to allow chance fo rcorections if any were needed. Our New Milford cor respondent gives the exact figures of the losses of the bank, and we are assured that our report was, ia substantial particulars, fair and correct.
 On Saturday the Hartford Courant pub ished a column editorial animadverting very severely, and in the main justly, on the state of feeling among people of the best class in New Milford which allowed MT. Conklin to escape justice. It is un- doubtedly true that exile, the loss of char acter, of business, and of property, is a heavy punishment in itself: whereas vag- abond scoundrel, who may steal few dol lars worth of property, can be reached on- ly by actual Imprisonment. But if the respectable criminal receives double pun ishment he commits a double crime-he breaks down habits of honesty. and abuses the confidence of friends,a well as violates the letter of the law. His honest training and his high standing among his fellow men keep him in great degree from temp tation. If they cannot shield him from crime they ought not to shield him from punishment. If MT. Conklin has any ex- cuse in the lax state of ssbusiness morals It IS time some of our business men were sent to learn better morality in our re- form school for adults at Wethersfeld.
 The people of New Milford have nerhans one apology-an abundance of bad prece- dent. The Courant says: sIt is not an exceptional case There has not been a
 respectable man sent to the penetentia- " from Hartford these fifteen wears though there have been dozen cases Q, gross frauds, theft, and defalcations, to the damage of our banks and insurance com panies, and several cases of forgery, by men who stood high in the community anf in some cases in the church."

B9a. As far as the returns from our town elections have come in, we should judge there was Democratic gain from last fall, but Republican gain from last spring.
 In this county the Republican party has suffered itself to split very badly on local issues. Cornwall and Goshen, we hear elect Democratic boards while New Hart ford and Barkhamsted are divided. In the latter town, however, we have the town clerk which gives us practical control of the board. Colebrook we hear has gone Re publican which is good omen for the spring election.
