The Shepaug Valley Railroad.

This road will be about twenty three miles long, and the cost of its construction and equipment is estimated at about one million dollars. With proper effort on the part of towns and individuals, it is believed that the project can be put through in the following manner: individual subscrip- tions of about $100, ,OO0, and town subscrip tions of about $2OO.OOO would form a stuff cient basis for the issue of bonds sufficient to put the road in running order. ..
 To the towns of Litchfeld, Morris, Wash ipgton, Roxbury and Bridgewater, this roai would be an inestimable benefit and we hope to see the requisite effort made by their citi gems to ensure it success.

ROxBURY, Aug. 3d, 1868.


 EDITOR OF ENQUIRER:-Our community has just been distressed with a severe acci- dent. On Wednesday last, a little son oi Edwin Leavenworth, in endeavoring to pass in front of moving machine, had his foot nearly severed through the instep by cut ting and crushing the numerous bones, and leaving the severed portions dangling by the skin of the sole. Before medical aid arrived the lad was exhausted from bleeding and nearly pulseless. Dr. Webb of Woodbury was called. He, with the as sistance of Dr. Downes of this place, ampu- tated the nearly severed part, reserving enough of tho skin to form a covering for the wound. With the case thus ingenious ly disposed of, the patient rallied and now appears to be doing we'll.
 This is surgical triumph, and one which in more dense population would make the reputation of the operator. The usual practice would be to cut off the foot above the ankle joint.
 Please give the facts to the public out oi justice to Dr. Webb, whose skill as sur geon only needs to be known to be appre- ciated. Yours,

Who will Best Collect our Taxes?

Who will best collect our taxes, Seymour or Grant? This is Q question of great mo- ment; yet it seems to us, it is a question easily answered.-The great leak In the Treasury is the Whiskey leak, and we think it would be stopped by Republican much easier than by Democrat, for this plain rea- son: The whisky dealers are generally Demo cratic and their political influence great.
 This influence the Democratic official would scarcely dare to offend, while the Republi- can official would rather punish it than not. If is not difficult to guess, therefore, which party would make the thoroughest work with whiskey dealers.
 Our late experience suggests another i'm portant practical difficulty in the way of an honest collection of the revenue by Demo- cratic officials. The official corruption of the present Administration, seems almost irremediable from the fact that it is difficult to find honest men who can compass both 8 nomination by the President and con- firmation by the Senate. With Seymour President this difficulty would be continued; and in the bickerings over the distri button of public patronage between the President and the Senate, the public revenue would be certain to suffer-

An Unparalleled Outrage.

We find in the Hartford papers of last week, accounts of series of crimes con- mltted against the person of one poor un- fortunate, seldom equalled, we trust in the annals of human depravity:
 Frances Haythorn, young girl of 15. of reputable life, but under-witted, was re- turning from her Sunday School at Thomp- ~~11'ia1e, -t1~ at1 .1r0u., wUeu SIC was met by young fellow named Potter, with whom she was slightly acquainted, and was per suaded to takea ride with him. On their re- turn he accomplished her seduction, if it could be called seduction to which she had so little mind for consent. He left her at some distance from homo and, taking a wrong road, she wandered. about for two days before she was finally found at Bristol. Du- ring the time, she was outraged twice more by human beasts, who fell in with her, at separate times, on the road. Potter has been arrested and bound oyer for trial.
 That such things, worthy of Sodom, could happen in what we consider the vir- tuous society of our New England towns is most humiliating, most disheartening. Will the time never come that an unchaste man will be as strange and as detested a thing as an unchaste woman-when a young girl, even without the protection of full reason, can walk alone from her church to her home, safe from the vile lusts ot such male brutes as now seem to throng our streets?
