Chambers in Horses.

This is the most malignant, most pestil-
ential, and most incurable disorder to
which horses are subject and is as fatal to
them - hydrophobia to dogs; it is also
highly dangerous to the stable helpers, be-
ing, like canine madness, communicable to
the human subject, and equally fatal to
them as to the animal by whose deadly bite
the incubation takes place.-Its contagious
character is another If its fearful accom-.
paniments, rendering it the bane of socie.
ty, the scourge Of the stables, and the ruin
Of muny a horse proprietor.

He had taken room at that place in the morning, and, in the evening, two officers from Mas sachusetts came into town and appeared to him just after he had gone to bed. It seems that his mode of operating was to stay at a hotel for time, ,and then offer forged certified check for something more than the amount due, take the balance in cash, and go on to another place. He confessed the forgery, and went of quietly with the officers.

The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of the Diocese,
 made his annual visitation to the parish of Trinity Church, on Sunday afternoon last. Evening Prayer was read by the Rev. Storrs o. Seymour, of Pawtucket, lR. l., assisted in the Lessons by MT. Rice, the Lay Read CT of the Parish. A most excellent ser mon was then preached by the Bishop, from Matthew 25th chapter, 34th verse. There were no candidates for Confirms tion, owing, probably, to the fact that the parish is without a Rector, having been vacant since the resignation of the Rev. 0. 0. Adams, Easter, 1869. Lay Reading is maintained, regularly. by Mir. Alfred L. Rice of the Berkley Divinity School, canidate for Holy Orders.

Evening Prayer was said by the Key. Messrs. Seymour and Peck. after which, an excellent practical sermon was preached by the Bishop, from Philippians, 2d Chapter, & 6 verses. It was listened to with breathless attention by large con- gregation. This mission has no parochial organization, services being maintained on alternate Sundays, here and at Morris Centre. At both places, public halls are used for the purpose. The services were started nearly four years ago, by the Rev. MT. Peck of LitchAeld, to whose untiring zeal, and great energy, the mission owes it's existence.

To coRRHsPoNDENrs.

Nearly year since, we made propositions fol regular and occasional correspondence, which met with 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 Ltchfeld County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic est'a copies of the EN- ouRER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us. or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending communications, of the number of copies desired. and to whom they are to be sent
 2. Local items from reliable sources, in any part of 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 a 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 lication 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 aniss, even from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional information.
 simple statement of facts is all that is neces- sary. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

NEW PRESTON, Aug. 18th, 1870.
 MIR. EDIToR.-Your Washington correspondent of last week, in commenting on the prospects of the Shepaug Valley Railroad terminating at New Milford through New Preston, mentions that it is not pleasing to the Washingtonians. I beg leave to differ with him. I know that part of the Washington people are highly elated with thepros- pects-certainly that portion that resides in the west part of the town (whom your correspondent does not recognize) who worked with untiring zeal to bond the town for that very purpose. Your correspondent knows that their only salvation was to trust in the votes of New Preston to bond the town at all, but he now turns us off by saying if New Preston and New Milford want branch from Bee Brook, let them build it." not recognizing us as part of the town, and further saying, "let us have the road down the entire length of the river where it will be of use to us Gus Washingtonians, not you New Prestonites). This manner of rep resenting the case would appear to a person not acquainted, as if New Preston belonged to another town, and to us who are acquainted like trying to build themselves up on our ruin, without giving us any tnanKs TOT tho privilege. We claim that the road built to Bee Brook and thence west through New Preston to New Milford, will accommodate all the inhabitants of the town best besides being the most feasible and least expensive way, which no sane man can for moment doubt. He says, also, Eve might well turn the Shepaug river over into New Milford depot, as to let the railroad go there. l think if the Shepaug river was turned into New Milford depot it would not do much good, as it would be minus water sufficient to fill one engine. If New Milford will help us we shall do all we can to get the road built in the best place, down the Aspetuck valley from Bee Brook. Of course we cannot build it alone, but we believe it will meet the approval of the best business men and receive as much help as the other route, and doubtless more. It has been argued that the great water privileges down the Shepaug river are one reason why it should be built that way; but think careless observer could now better water privi leges down the Aspetuck valley, where all themills in motion, with surplus of water to spare. We hope the Washingtonians on the other side will continue to take comfort in anticipation. but we did not think they would let such unreasonable pectations control their better judgment.
