WASHINGTON.

Sherman Hartwell has sold his celeblat- ed Cotswold ram Washington" together, with five thorough bred, lambs, to Horace F. Buckley, of California. They were shipped on the Ocean QueenEwhich sailed from New York, July 26th. Mr. B. is re- ported as the owner of flock of 15,OOO sheep. He has purchased from the best breeders in the Atlantic States, and is now the possessor of one of the best focks III California.
 Mir. H. is preparing for the New England Fair, which is to be held at New Haven in September a flock of twenty five Cotswold'a which, if OUT eyes serve us right, will be hard to beat. Among them IS 'sViceroy," who took the sweepstakes prize at the New England Fair, last year, and whose pedigree was established in the Country Gentleman, lately, beyond cavil. Mir. Hartwen has been erecting barn, 90 by 35 feet, with an underground, expressly for sheep, with all the conveniencies of a first class bern.

Some of our farmers cut hay worth from $1, 800 to g, 500 in market. Rye was good and well harvested. Oats are being cut and promise fair yield.

MARRIAGES IN 1867.


 From the foregoing table it would ap- appear that trife over three per cent. of our marriageable male population are of foreign birth. Allowance of course should be made for those not naturalized, and, al- so, for the fact that the foreign adult is on the average younger than the native. De- ducting one third, therefore, from the fore- going total of foreigners, we have prob able proportion in the State, of 9 per cent. for the foreign vote, or about for eign to every 9 American The average for eign vote in the State, therefore, must be about 22,O00. Of theseat least 20, 500 vote the Democratic ticket, which would give the native Democratic vote in Connecticut at about 31, ,500, the native Republican vote at 47,00O; exactly three Republicans to two Democrats. This cannot be far from the actual proportion.
 The foregoing table also indicates how the foreign population is apportioned be- tween different counties. Litchfield Coun- ty evidently has the smallest number of foreigners The table shows more than five marriages of native males to one of for eign, while in Hartford and New Haven Counties the proportion is nearly two for eign to three native

 The Electoral and Naturalization bills passed over the Governors veto On the former the vote in the House stood PA to 75; the latter 126 to .72.
 The bill admitting colored children to the public schools passed both houses after much angry dis cusson and some contradictory votes in the house.
 The proceedings regarding the forged interlinea- tions of the election bill showed great desire on the part of the Democracy to avoid further inves- tigation. The committee reported that they had not yet found enough evidence to warrant spe- citic charge of crime against any individual; but they desired to have power given them to contin- ue their Investigation after the adjournment ot the Assembly, sufficient evidence having been ob- tained to warrant further inquiry. The Demo- crats opposed this proposition and at last succeed ed in defeating it. .a,#-.------e=-~

There is great dearth of local news this week. The cloudy weather puts stop tc having, and fills certain portions of the viii lage with loungers, some of whom take { a little too much refreshment. This state of things would naturally lead to some thing in the assault and battery line, but we believe nothing serious of the kind has yet occurred.

GOSHEN.

The weather for the past two weeks has been more favorable for fishing than hay ing, and the attractions about Tyler Pond have drawn 1t daily visitors. August 1st 6 few families lndulged in quiet picnic. in pic-nic-ish spot in the shade of inc woods which skirt the shore, and in the cool of the day participated in the pastime ot fishing. Large numbers were caught. The freight of one boat was weighed on coming on shore, and weighed 50 lbs, com prlslng perch, pickerel and eels. The lar gest number caught by one indiy dual was 40 perch and 3 eels We eau account for it only because woman flung the bait. The poet says:-
 :. Heaven gave to Woman the peculiar grace,
 10 laugh to weep, to coax and cheat the human race"
 And we don't know that fish a@e any wiser - Business and amusements have varied With tho weather. Mir. P. Bartholomew made It hls business one morning to go moving, and was not much amused on stepping away from bis horses 8 moment, to see them start off across the meadow and over a stone wall, with a moving at their heels, of which they broke up about fifty dollars worth. We are of opinion that 6 young man in the employ of MT. l.. D. Allyn, would have thought himself fortunate, however, to have escaped with broken mowing-machine Stepping Tn front of @ machine to unclog it, the horses started, cutting and gashiDg him badly in the ancle, severing the main ten aon' and so disabling him, that there is very little probability of his ever recover Ing the free use of his ancle.

The Legislature

After the longest session ever held, the General Assembly finally adjourned sine de, on Saturday last. We can hardly con- nder the business done proportionate to the time spent in doing it, nevertheless it was a session of more than usual impor- tance. The following is brief summary of the important matters acted upon:-
 Government Buckingham was elected an United States Senator's an excellent selec- tion. Ex-Governor Miner was elected to fill the place made vacant by the death of Judge Hall, and we have reason to believe that he does so, fully. Rate bAls have been abolished and our common schools made free to all; consummation for which every friend of progress should be profoundly thankful. Important acts have been passed to prevent fraudulent registration and fraudulent naturalization Their necessity is great and apparent, and we hope the new laws may accomplish the object for which they are designed Bridg- es over the Connecticut river have been au- thorized ill two places. Tn consolida- tion of the Hartford and New Haven and the New York and New Haven railroads, the Parallel railroad, and the general rail- road law, were all defea ted; the latter most unfortunately, as we firmly believe. The State tax has been reduced from three mills to two mills and half; mitigation for which we are devoutly grateful Appro- priations have been made of $2OO, 900 to the State Insane Asylum, and of $1O, 600 to girls reform sohool; the former too much, the latter too little. The divorce laws remain unchanged; the Normal School unprovided for the mode of laying taxes unimproved; no provision made for the election of non-partisan boards of town officers, as we had hoped; no attempt to relieve the crowded docket oi our Superior Courts; and the whole batch of constitutional amendments proposed last year, were defeated this. Still we are not disposed to find fault or the whole with the Legislature of 1868. It has beer ably lead in both branches, and the rumors of its corruption are no more abundant than we must expect as long as there is nc adequate general railroad law.
 Such Legislative body as our General Assembly, elected for short term. and sit ting but short time, has queer, SazeR -dess, clumsy, dangerous-looking way of do
 ing business, that partakes of all the 'sglo rious uncertainty of jury trial. They seldom do altogether right or altogether wrong. but meander all over the middle ground between the two. Nevertheless their annual installment of bungling, indi gestible legislation is often considerably better than nothing, and deserves more credit than it usually gets.

The Foreign Vote of Connecticut.

The general census was taken eight years slnce. Nor is is easy to calculate from such census the proportion of foreign votes to native. Children under ten form at least one third of the population; those born of foreign parents going to swell the native population, jghatly diminish the apparent proportion of foreign born to native adults. Our yearly mar riage returns throw more light on the ques- tion. From the last report of our State Librarian, we extract the following fig ures: ....
