 On Wednesday, Sept. 21st, there was a match gamefof Base Ball between the Pros. poets. of Dover Plains and the Mt, AIgo's' 'of this place. on the ground of the latter clabs Play was called at three o'clock with the, Prospects at the bat. The Mt. Algo's commenced their fifth inning, but could not finish it as the Umpire was obliged, to call the game with only one man out on ac count of darkness. A number of good plays were made by noth parties and. many times the ball went to the left field only to be caught by Monroe. Many thanks are due to MT. R. A. Brittou, of New York, for his fair and impartial decisions as Umpire. All left the ground much pleased with the afternoon game. Follow ing is the score:-

D@-The New York Tribune (anti woman suhrage) publishes the following cores pondence which speaks for itself:-
 RAw11Ns STRINGS, W. T.. Sept. 13.-Our Territorial election, one week ago to-day, passed off very quietly. There were no sneers, no profanity, no fighting. The women went to the polls as quietly as if they were going to church. They seemed to be conscientious as to what candidates were worthy of their suffrage, many refus ing to vote for men on account of intemper- ance. It was an agreeable surprise to know that the Republicans could carry this Ter ritory. as one year ago the Democracy cleo. ted their delegate to congress by 1,5OO ma jority. Wyoming has been redeemed by tho vote of the women. As near as we can estimate the number, between 400 and 500 women voted for Wm. T. Jones, the Re. publican candidate for Congress, while less than one-third that number voted for Wan less, the Democratic candidate. We know of few other men who could do as much for our young Territory in Congress as Mr. Jones. He was formerly citizen of Indi- ana.

ROXBURY.

As to news we have been very dry all along through the summer. The Shepaug Valley Railroad has created considerable excitement. That Litchfeld must have 8 railroad is fixed fact. We think the question of routes about settled and that, ere twelve month rolls around, the mouth of the Shepaug will shout her welcome to the snort of the locomotive in her lower valley. It amuses us to see it urged on the people of Litchfeld, as one of the advanta- ges of the Aspetuc route, that it would se- cure them the county seat. Did it never occur to them how plausible claim New Milford might then set up to the headship of Housatonic county? Roxbury has done nobly in raising funds to build a rail road, through her valley, by the side of her water powers, and at the feet of her granite and mineral hills. Her people are anxious ly waiting the final location of the road.
 Most towns have Base Ball Club. We have none, and yet scene took place in our court room on the 17th inst, much of it too base to mention. One Dickinson, and our Deputy Sheriff, Harris. appeared as the contesting parties. Dickinson call ed Huntington and Cothren, Esqs., of Woodbury, to assist him, and Sheriff Har- riss chose, on his side, Turrill, Esq, et New Milford, to match them. Judge East man acted as Umpire. There were over one hundred spectators present. The game opened with much sharp batting on both sides. There was but little running, some fine catching and a close contest. from the first inning at 10 a. m. until 3 P. m., when the umpire, without telling us how the score stood. adjourned the contest until the first day of Oct. next. ~

Pluck.

Hopeless as seem the prospects of the Preach ,Republie, the people of that coun- try are.d deserving the fespect of the world by their unhinching patriotism. The French geneeal of 1870 has proved . lamen- table failure, but the French citizen still shows himself entitled to the same high respect as of old. Every garrisoned town has defended itself with uncommon deter
 imitation. The mere fact that Paris is willing to submit to a siege shows how much it's people are willing to sacrifice to preserve their national territory from dis memberment, their national reputation from dishonor. If that city can hold out till winter sets in; and in the meantime large armies can be organized in the South of France, Alsace and Lorraine may yet be saved. The chances are heavily against any such result but the attitude of the French Republic indicates that the patri- otic fervor which saved the France of 1792 is not wanting to the France of 1870.
 On the other hand we cannot blame Ger many for pressing her advantages The consolidation of all the German speaking people of Europe into one nation is certain ly laudable German ambition. That con- solidation implies, however, the loss of eight millions of population to Austria in the future, as well as of million and a half to France in the present. The natural re- suit of the present war is to make North and South Germany one but, to unite all Germans, and to organize the controlling nation of Europe, involves further wars and further sacrifices. Prussia is ready for just this semi-ambitious, semi-patriotic ca reer; and Germans seem to have made up their minds to support Prussia to the last man and the last dollar. .. . ..s .-=
 With two nations fighting for national objects, the struggle is evidently far differ ent from that of 1792. Then it was a mat ter of kings versus people; now it is people against people; aud the same patriotism which drove back the regal coalition against the old French Republic, may prove inef- fectual against the equal patriotism of the whole race of Germans. On each side there has been, and there will be, an ex- hibition of national pluck such as Europe has not seen in our day. '=

TO coRREsPoNpENrs.

Nearly year since, we made propositions fol regular and occasional correspondence, which met with a ready response, adding much to the value of our paper, and laying us under personal obligation to the gentlemen rendering us such assistance. We are thereby encouraged to renew our propositions, hoping that the good example already set will be generally followed, and that the local news of all parts of the County will be fully reported in our paper.
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Mtchfield County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic estra copies of the EN- oU1RER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us. or to any residents aof the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending of the number of copies desired, and to whom they are to be sent
 2. Local items from reliable sources, in any part Q& the county, will be received with pleasure, but we are particularly de- sirous of increasing our list of regular correspondents. To each of these, or to such person as he or she may designate, we will send copy of our paper regularly in; addition to the extra copies mentioned above.
 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub- fcation is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having the contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signature, single let ter being sufficient.
 In case of two communications relating to the same event. the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss, even from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional information. .'
 A simple statement of facts is all that is neces- sary. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The importance of the fall elections as influencing the general contest, next spring. cannot be over-rated. Let every Republi- in the fall usually implies its control at the following State election. A victory that is easy now may be impossible, next April. There are many doubtful towns in this county which Republicans should strain every nerve to carry on Monday next, if they wish to impr ove the spring record of the few years past.

asr The base ball developments of the

Dar The base ball developments of the past week are curious and important. The New York Mutuals have taken the cham pionship from the Atlantics. But the most remarkable development is the continued success of the reorganized White Stock ings of Chicago. now on an Eastern tour. They have recently beaten the Red Stock ings and the Forest City Club, and TOW they have conquered s.in succession the Eckfords, the Atlantics, and the Athletics i(of Philadelphia. But with all their run of luck. they cannot play such game 1of base ball as the ActiEes of this place, or write such proclamation as the Dexters of Winsted!
