PIocuE ArPAIEs.-There il difficulty at
Phoebe City about the Floral Springs, from
which one party had made a survey With the
intention of bringing the water into town. An
other party has taken possession. The Re
cord says all the principal mines have stopped
work for want of water. Injnnctions and Vigi-
lance Committees are talked Of At the
spring, water is selling at Il cents per gallon,
and is delivered in town at 6 cents.

Phillips. A severe wouud-Phillips arrested.

No REFoRMER.-Cox, Secretary of the In
terror, has resigned. His friends say he leaves
because of the refusal Of the President to sup
port him in reforms, which he inaugurated in
the Internal Revenue Department, lifting the
department above the control of politicians.
The New York Evening Post expresses the
general sentiment in saying, The country
will have to regret the loss OF very able man
from among President Grants advisers; and
one whose only offense is that he has tried to
carry out certain reforms in the civil service,
some of them the very ones which the nation
most confidently expected to SEQ General
Grant perfect" 1t is remarkable that the
very President who in the beginning was too
conservative for the Radical element of his
party, has now become too radical to support
such ultra politicians as Carl Shurz or Graft
Brown; and the President who was to lift the
service above the abuse of mere politicians,
sacrificed the best man in his cabinet to de
base the public service to partisan uses.

BA. The Derby Transcript is in real tribuiation over the tendency of the press of the Naugatuck Valley to favor Univer- sal Suffrage. It mourned over the Ame,i. cd's, and now sheds bitter tears as it reads the Winsted Herald One bright exception to the prevalent degeneracy it sees and commsnds in the following fitting terms:-
 We believe all the Litehfeld County papers have on this subject gone over to the-dogs- with the exception of the Sentinel. May it long stand on the watch towers, to Sentine these brawl ing and noisy years, whereon the truth has stood, as it will eUer stand.
 Beautiful But where, exactly, may we look for our friend and cotemporary on clear nights? On the watch tower (which we take to be the Congregational steeple), on top of these brawling and noisy years" (probably some place where the Maine Law is broken), and can't he come down till truth (which seems to have left him for moment) comes back to him again? ..

SALISBURY.

About midniglt. on the night of the 18th inst, an attemptwas made to burglarize the store of Mesfs. Gillette < Bissell in this village. MrMoore Jewell, the clerk, who sleeps in thdsecond story of the store, was awakened at that hour by 8 crash at the front door, ,acI Iompanied by theEoices of men conversing h low hurried tone. Sur mlslng that somahing was wrong, Jewell arose quietly fDm the bed. donned his pants and crept loftly down stairs into the store. A glancetowards the front of the store disclosed t3o men with dark lantern Tn the act of closing the door, they having already affected h entrance by forcing off the lock. Mir. J being without arms of any description, thought it more prudent to summon assistance by making his way out through the ear door, than to attack the burglars singe handed. In attempting to open this doo however, he was discov- cred by the thieves, who made off at a rapid pace dowlthe sidewalk closely fol- lowed by Jewell shouting ''Stop thief at the top of his vice. The rascals in their flight threw away all of their tools, and fired four shots rom revolver at Jewell. who followed thm as far as the outskirts of the village but was obliged to abandon the chase, as n, signs of assistance ap- peared.
 The next morning there were found in various places s,attered along the side walk a complete set o burglars tools, consisting of Jimmy. bits, screws, drills, punches, steel wedges, six Ieton keys, can of ofpowder, blow pipe. fuse &c., thus indicating that the burglars wee professionals, and had come prepared D blow open the safe A small pocket map of New York with por- tion of New England was also found. On this map, square plot was marked out, the lines running through the towns of Salisbury, North Canaan, Norfolk, Winsted Barkhamstead ts Granby and embracing the whole territ9ry enclosed between Gran by, Wilmington Vt..> Florida in Mont gomery Co.,, and Woodstock in Ulster Co.,, N. Y. It is thodght these fellows belong to gang which has just started out to plunder the country, this territory being allotted to then.
 Happily they have been foiled in their first attempt, through the vigilance and resolution of Mr. Jewell, who expresses the belief that burglarism will scarcely prove profitable in these parts.

LBumsK-The question of License vs. Prohibition. is up before the Judiciary Committee. Mir. Pratt, of Norwich, pro- poses bin which seems to be rather in the interest of liquor selling than of tenn perance. Dr. Bacon appeared before the Committee. last week, and opposed this bill He took the true ground that each locality should be allowed, as far as prac- ticable, to manage the matter in its own way. He also makes the same distinction which we urged, sometime since, between dram-shops and dealers who supply fami- lies and the legitimate demand for spirits One thing is certain: no general law which can be enforced in cities will be up to the moral mark easily reached in many coun- try localities; while, on the other hand, the stringent prohibition required in the country locality, is obviously im- practicable in the city. Let every Village and every School Society, make its own regulations regarding this matter. Towns are often composed of Societies differing vastly in disposition towards Temperance reform. For instance; Prohibition would probably be practicable in Northfeld, while it is an absurd failure in this village, and would hardly thrive in Bantam or Milton. g.a ha' .-. e-

 During the thunder storm of Friday loren oon, Patrick Doyle was struck dead by lightning at his farm about 211s miles east of this village. Doyle and a man named Cobb were hoeing in corn.feld, only a few feet apart. The latter had just sug- gested their going into the house, but as it was not yet raining they delayed to ''hoe out their rows." The next Cobb knew he found himself lying on the ground with one side paralyzed. He then noticed Doyle lying near with his clothes on fire; and re- alized, flor the first time, what had happened to them. He crawled to his comrade and put out the fire, and then succeeded in call ing assistance. The bolt evidently struck Doyle in the back of the neck, and tore his ehoos and stockings completely off his feet. Cobb was struck on the hip which was badly blistered
 The thunder storm of Monday evening seemed to pass directly over this village. A sycamore tree was struck on the side walk, by MT. Trowbridge's, and we hear that several other trees were struck in this vicinity. North and west of this county the the storm was of hail, and very destructive to crops.
 Our Summer residents have very gen. erally returned. MT. VanWinkle, Miss l.. Deming. MT. Perkins, the Messrs. White, MT. Latimer, MT. Fitzgerald, Prof. Peck, and MT. Starr have come with their families for the season.
 MT. D. c. Bulkley was thrown from his wagon, on Thursday evening, while driving down West Hill. He broke one rib but almost miraculously escaped seri- ous injury.
 The Dutton B. B. c. of this place will probably play the Htna B. B. 0. of Vol cottville Saturday afternoon at the Fair Ground.

TIE NEW YORK JUBnEE.-After ridi- culing the Boston affair to the extent which it did, New York should either have beaten the Great Peace demonstration, or made no attempt. It has just been repro ducing that musical mass meeting, on a much smaller scale. Repeating all the clap-trap of anvils, cannon, &c.,, it has not given that clap trap the dignity which un precedented numbers and power gave it in Boston. Above all, the demonstration was wantingin that enthusiastic support which made the great Jubilee success in spite of every difficulty. New York would not suspend the pursuit of the " almighty dollar" for week, to listen to the music of the spheres.

 PLYMOUTH SKETCHES-No. 30. Strawberry Festivals were in order last week; two having been held in Thomaston -on the evenings of the 18th and 16th- for the improvement of the cemetery per- taining to that village; and also one in Ter ryYille, on the 18th, for the purchase of Jan organ for the high school Strawberries and cream-with the sweetening remem- bered of course-are certainly not bad to take about this time of year; or even at any other season when they can be had. May their shadows never grow less!" l In alluding. last week, to the new fedce about to be put up by A. 0. Shelton, I supposed said it was to be handsome iron one. But the types don't say so. such, however, is the fact. Said fence has just been completed, and is a graceful iron structure, of new design understand, patented by Maj. Andrew Terry, under whose superintendence it has been erected. An iron fence is so rare thing in this vi- cinity, that have deemed this one wor- thy of especial notice.

 Y The Congregational Church think they have secured great prize in procur ing for their pastor the Rev. James B.

Mr. Bonar is a man oi commanding talents and sterling piety, and is one of the most earnest. impressive and eloquent preachers we ever listened to.

If Jozmson's Amodyne Liniment is half as valuable as people say it is, no family should be without it. Certainly no person, :, be he lawyer, doctor, minister, or of any other profession, should start on journey without it. No sailor, fisherman, or woods man should be without it. In fact it is needed wherever there is an ache, sprain, cut, bruise, cough or cold.
 Farmers and "Horse men," are contin- ually enquiring what we know of the utility of She'1don's Ca0ahy Condition Pocders, and in reply, we we would say, through the columns of the ENQUIRER that we have heard from hundreds who have used them with gratifying results: that is also our experience.
