NEW MILFORD.

s- 4A Sz d The New Milford correspondent of the Sentinel is somewhat exercised" concern ing report of the election here, publish ed in the ENQUIRER, April 21st., That re- port was considerably exaggerated, and calculated to give an erroneous idea, but still. there were quite number of intoxi- cated men that day who disgraced them selves and the town. But when the Seati- asrs correspondent undertakes to make a republican of the colored man who was arrested, he is ungrateful. As far as heard from, he is the only democratic negro in the State, and to deny him during the first month of his citizenship, is something we should hardly expect, even from that correspondent. He is also greatly in er- TOT in stating that a majority of the liquor sellers here, are republicans. The facts are exactly the reverse, and the correspon- dent of the Sentinel must have been strange ly "oblivious.' the day he wrote that ar- tlcle. But seriously-is it not great mis- take for either party to attempt to make the other responsible for all the intempe- rance that exists, and is it not one of the movement? Men of both parties sell and drink liquor, and the friends of tenn rance in both parties must unite for re- form, before any radical and lasting change can be expected. The worst misfortune that can befall the cause, is to make it a party question. -~

 Is not that game that two can play at? Should wives learn to follow the examples of such stern moralists as Sickles, McFar- land, Bonder and the like, the mortality among husbands might be little alarming at first; but those remaining would be faithful, if few, and the standard of mo- rality" would rise, even as gold went up und CT the fostering care of Gould, Fisk & Co.,, few months since.

@ CHEESE FACTORIES. notice that several cheese factories are starting in diff ferent parts of the county. this spring, and that those begun in former seasons seem to be doing well. Two new enter prises of that kind are starting in Wash ington, and one in Colebrook.

 People are beginning to wake up to the fact, that the cheese factory has much the same advantage over home-manufacture that the cotton and woolen factory have over the old-fashioned spinning-wheel and hand. loom. A better article is produced, and with half the labor. The higher price received pays the expense of manufac- ture, and farmers wives rest from spe- cies of labor that has borne upon them with great severity. 5E
