THE CROPS IN BARNwELL.-The Sentinel
says: 'sThe rains which have fallen every day
for the mast four weeks were suddenly brought
to a halr on Monday last. and we have been
favored with few days of sunshine and grass
killing weather. Our planters are everywhere
busy, and may yet succeed in mastering Gene

pot recollect ever to have seen crops more
backward. Uur friends have had hard time,
but as they are persevering, We hope their

, The Second Nine of the Mt. Age B. D. C., played match game with the First Nine of the Star B. B. O., of Warrss. oa the grounds of the former club, Saturday, Oct. 1st. The attendance of spectators was fair, but not large. Game was called at two o'clock, with the Stars at shs bat. From the first it was evident that the Mt. Algoes were too strong for their visitors. The game was very pleasant enc and played in three hours and thirty minutes. The Stars returned home in the evening much pleased with their afternoon sport. The umpire's decisions during the entire
 game were as usual fair and impartial.

 1t is hardly necessary to enlarge upon tho terrible accidents which have resulted from the use of Rnsafe kerosene; you have only tb read the newspapers from day to dsy to see them. It is stated by some that these afe exaeeEated; that these accidents never ocoar; end that you and never had frisnd burpsd to death; still we do have an enor@oaS number of terrible accidents from petroleum. In the lest seven months of 10o0 there were ffty-five kerosene acci- dents in new York, resulting in twenty three deaths. eighteen serious injuries and fourteen slight ones. The total result for the year 1869, for the city of New York, which I myself have out from newspapers, is fifty two fatal accidents from dangerous kerosene, fifty severe and six slight; in all, 1O6 persons, to my knowledge, from my own reading, have been injured by kero- seno in one year"

TO CORRESPONDENTS

Nearly year since, we made propositions for 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. .s.......
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Litchfeld County, are as follows J"
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward siG ertrG copies of the EN- oU1RER containing the same, to the address of the person sending 1t to us, or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending communicationss 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 VIII S0uu cUpy oA OuA Pt1P0A US in addition to the extra copies mentioned above. ,sH
 H REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication. ...s r..-. ,sre.s .a ..!.-.s .
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired. A.
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub- lication is manifest. e.g,Tas,r .....
 Manuscript should be written only on one side ot the paper. 'o t4.sl 514AIgo.g ....
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having the contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signiature, a single let ter being sufficient '. .+'- 3'-. l1-
 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. '.. .-

The annual Fair of the Housatonic Ag'l Society was held on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The weather was fine, the crowd large. the receipts flat tering, the display creditable. and the dust intolerable. As you will probably have a full report from the Secretary. detailed account Is unnecessary here. 5b
 On Wednesday, 8 man from Kent, named Pitcher. was crossing the railroad bridge on his way to the Fair, just as the train from the south was coming through He was partially intoxicated, and in spite of the efforts of a man who was with him, persisted in remaining upon the track, and was instantly killed. His body was brought to the depot here, and as he had no family or friends, he was buried by the railroad company.
 The amount of poor whiskey in bodi- ly shape that perambulated our streets on Wednesday and Thursday was sufficient to have foated the Great Eastern, and this, combined with midnight cannonade, made those two days decidedly uncomfortable.
