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 sucn 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 Litchfeid County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication wa will forward sir ectrd copies of the EN- ourRHR containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us. or to any residents of the county sucn 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:
 ?. Local items from reliable sources, Tn any part of the county, will be received with pleasure, out 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 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub lication is manifest.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, a 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 amss, 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.

One of the most interesting topics of con- versation here now is the defaication of Moses Camp. About two years ago Moses and his brother Wm. M Camp went into business together at the Drug Store here. The former insisted On retailing liquor, both to be drank on the premises and car ried away, the latter would not consent to it, and, after 8 short time, sold out to his brother. In the fall of 1869 Moses Camp was elected collector of taxes For some time it was thought he was making money; at least he drove fast horses and was quite flush. It is now known that he has em. bezzled about $2.5oO of the town money, also that the liquor he sold was not paid for. Smith & Co.,, of New York, have a liquor bill against him of about $1,OOO. Tyler, Frost. X Co.,, of New Haven, have a bill, toe, of over $700. :.
 Last Summer he took out license and commenced the manufacture of Cigars in this place. For some reason. probably for the sake of economy, he has neglected to affx stamps to large number of boxes. Accordingly the U s. Internal Revenue Officers are in search of him for defrauding the Government. Ef
 Yodf readers are already aware tbat ex. tensive SC zares of liquors were made at his drug store last year and that he was prosecuted for keeping liquor to sell con. trary to the statute. alea1sg .oI

 The actors all acquitted themselves OK tremely well. and it is impossible to par ticularize among SO many, but Mrs. Jack wood, Phoebe, MT. Greenwich, .Enos and Bin, deserve especial commendation. The scenery painted especially for the hall, and a new drop curtain recently furnished by MT. Tom. Gibson are particularly excellent, and make the hall very attractive
 As the entertainment was for the pur- pose of improving the parsonage it seemed to make everything all right in the estima- tion of those wbo have hitherto drowned on similar undertakings, and the dignitaries of the church were present in full force, in addition to which picture of Henry Ward Beecher graccd the side of the stage, and led one to suppose that Artemus Ward was to bs on hand with his s'great Moral Exhibition"
 There are but few towns that like Washington. eau furnish such an ex. hibition. and when one is announced to take place there it is safe to predict that it will be we'll worth attending.

@ We are much shocked about Kent. The Burner and Banquet says that town is given oyer to '' Whiskey, Democracy and Freemasonrys" whereupon, these interests shout back in two columns of the Sentinel, /" You'RE ANouHERr. Indeed. we infer from the disclosures of our neighbor, that Christian ministers usually graduate from Kent into some penitentiary. and that the brethren misbehave in proportion to their prominence in inc church. Now we had heard of c. B. Kent Beverage); we had grieved over the Spring returns from that place; and we had heard of the Rev. w.. H. Green (chiefy in the eloquent vindica- tlons of that gentleman's character pro nounced in our Courts by ihe editor of the SsntineD; but we had no idea before of tlre complication of iniquities under which Kent suffers. With regard to Masonry (the St. Johns supper being 80 very neaf), we prefer discreet silence, venturing a single query. The correspondent of ths Sentinel asks his opponents if they arc aware
