THE NEW HARTFORD MURDER. of the most horrible murders which has evsr come to light in these parts was perpetra- ted at Pleasant Valley, small village about two miles from this place, on Saturday night last between the hours of nine and one o'clock.
 A small party of colored people flour males and one female1 had come toeethee to enjoy an evenings visit, when bottle. holding about two quarts of whiskey. was produced, and all took o social drink till finally after 6 few rounds Of the bottle. they began to accuse each other of drink ing the most, and not any of them being willing to be thus accused, from words they soon came to blows. All stood up for their rights as long as possible, but very soon the bully of the crowd, prize fighter measuring six feet two inches and weigh. ing two hundred and twenty-five pounds, took the lead. His first httack was npon the oldest member of the group, whom he soon laid helpless and dying upon the floor. having left marks of his abuse upon him. breaking his skull, leaving gashes upon his face by jumping upon him in . most brutal manner. He died soon after. The other two shared about the same fate, and their recovery Is very doubtful.
 The murderer left for other parts, but to his surprise he was soon oyertaken and brought back to Winsted, where hs sill await his trial
 Crowds of people have visited the spot and 1t Is the only theme of conversation.

Platt. young and superior musician, deserves the thanks and gratitude of all who have enjoyed his very faithful and skilful performances The church and choir are very fortunate in securing his services do believe there is not another place Ebe found, far or near, of the same size, where there is so large amount of musical talent, as in New Preston.

WASHINGTON,

The Concert in Farmers Hall, on Sun day evening of last week, was Il truly ex cellent one, rehecting great credit on the Hon. Earle Buckingham, teacher and leader. Music of Q high order was exquis- itely rendered by the Arion Club, compos ed of gentleman and ladies from Wash ington and Roxbury. The Bradleys of Roxbury, family of born singers. con- tributed much to the effect. s.3f
 The Overture from William Tell, piano duett, was splendidly ezecated by Misses Atwater and Brinsmade Nothing of the kind equally effctive, had eyer been heard before among us.
 Several songs Sung by Miss Warner, by their sweetness and pathosi touched every heart. The Hall was a scene of beauty, and altogether, the occasion was most en- ioyable. We are having good times here in Old Judea;, and our neighbor s ought to comein and enjoy with us. F. Rev. Wm. H. H.

 Tn the first place, the estimates above given are not those of the Secretary of the Treasury. They are the footings of ell the. separate bureau estimates-many of them not even thought indispensable by the heads of the departments from which they came MT. Boutwell, himself stated his sum total of estimates required at 9291 .00o, ,000. The year previous. Mir. McCulloch's estimates amounted to $303,- 00O, O,OOO, or twelve millions more than was asked for by Mir. Boutwell,.
 We have not space for all the correc' tiona the above table needs, but will refer briefly to the most important of them: TREASURY DKrARrMEST.-Over six mill ions of tue excess of this estimate is foi the erection of public buildings ordered by Congress. A new post office and court. house building is estimated for, in New York. and new post office and treasury building, in Boston. These, and other necessary public buildings, have been long required, but their construction was delay ed by the emergencies of the war. The payment of the six millions eventually needed will be extended over many years but the whole estihate comes into this.
 The next deduction which ought in fair. ness to be made from the estimates of thi. department is that for nine millions inter. est on bonds bought in and held by the Gov ernment; 50 thatthe interest is merely tn ken out of one account and put into an other. and costs the country nothing.
 INTERIOR DEPARTMENT the Indiar appropriation for 1s6s-7O is not included two millions incidental appropriation mad, upon the breaking up of the old treaties the disposition of which was given to tn, Indian Commission. The amount required is really million less than the appropria tins, of the previous year.
 The great difference lies, however, il the Pension bureau, where there is an es timate of thirty millions for the coming year, against an appropriation of nineteen millions for the past year. This was occa sioped by an increase, of pensioners. an, from the fact that there was over ten mill ions surplus standing to the credit of tha appropriation at the beginning of th present year. reducing by so much th amount of appropriation needed.

par Attention is called to the advertise. ment, in another column, of the Sheffield Scientific School. This is certainly a step in the right direction. Much of what is termed ''hberal education" is of no practi- cal use whatsoever. As long as the clas- sics supplied the want of real literature. their careful study might have been Q ne cessity. Now. knowledge of German and French will introduce the student to a literature of much greater. value than 9 knowledge of Latin and Greek, and a knowledge of practical. Mathematics and Natural Science is of real practical value to its possessor. Success to the enterprise!

Fl. B. Elliott, formerly of New Canaan, has been engaged to supply the pulpit of the Congre- gational church in Litchfeld, for two years-sI50o 3 year and use of parsonage. st l In the early years of his ministry, Mir. Elliott was settled over the First Congre. gational church in this city. During a residence here of about five years, he built
 two houses, one on Leaven worth street
 now owned by Mr. I. B. Newton where he
 resided for time, but owing to tue fan
 cied danpness of the air in that locality he sold the place and built again on the
 grounds now. owned and occupied by Mr.
 Joseph Melton. On the removal of Mir. El-
