ciety? It won't mix satisfactorily among first class people, any more than the stares bestowed by the loafers in the street upon the girls passing. Litchfeld also has that attraction, has it not?
 The war rumors excite us considerably. People are wide awake to learn the naturo of this complicated question. It seems like old times to watch the bulletins, ex- cept it is pleasant novelty to be a neu tral. Already we have prophets who are ahead of the common herd, although they were considered below it. It is to be hoped they will remember the fate of the late French Minister, and keep their heads cool.
 In this connection, could any one in- vent an iced thermometer, or something to regulate absurd predictions or excessive heat? +#&ss ..aEH .s4 MAX.

Fusion of Races in Connecticut.

There are those who are looking forward to this fusion of races in our country with high expecta tions. They look for something wonderful as the product. If Anglo-Saxon. Celt. Teuton, slavoni. an, are so good separate. what will they be when all combined? Shall not the product be race far surpassing, both mentally and morally, any that has ever yet been known? We cannot say that we share these expectations. It is yet to be shown whether such a fusion is possible. Thus far, assuredly, the success of the experiment has not been great We have people of many nation fused into one. They remain Irish, Germans, Norwegians still. True, they live together in peace, but they do not enter into intimate bonds of association. In Canada, the French and En- glsh, after the interval of century, remain sub- stantially distinct. In Great Britain there has been no such fusion.-Hastford Cturchnaan.
 The problem suggested above is, we im- agine, much easier of solution than the Cbauchnsan imagines. The fusion of the different race elements which have been SO largely added to our population, with the original stock, has already commenced, at least in Connecticut. The statistics of marriage to be found in the annual reports of eur State Librarian prove this fact. Even the incomplete set of these reports which we have at hand are sufficient for the purpose. From these we compile the following tables (The first two olumns show the number of marriages in which both parties are native and foreign, re- spectively; and the third and fourth col umns, the number of marriages contracted by native males, or females, with foreign. ersl:

one third) which is of foreign birth, indi- cate that another generation or two is like to see Connecticut Irish, German, Chinese-any thing but Yankee ]!
The War.


 The publication of the treaty proposed by Napoleon to Bismark for the annexa. tion of Belgium to France has accustomed great excitement in England. The French ministers denies the charge bat the Prus- sian government say they have the propo- sition in the handwriting of the French minister. The English government has taken no final action, but if France will not disclaim all intention to interfere with Bel gium it seems probable that Great Britain will join forces with Prussia.
 The French fleet has sailed from Cher bourg for the Baltic. ''+ - It is said that the French have SOO,OOO men on the frontier towards Prussia. Hamburg is preparing for defense. France is to evacuate Rome.
 The Prussian minister to England de. clares that Napoleon offered Bismark the of 300, 900 men If France could be given the Rhine boundary.

 PLYMOUTH SKETCHES. No. 36. MT. George Langdon has made hand some improvement on East Street, by sub- stituting picket fence in front of DOT tion of his premises. in place of high wooden one, that has occupied the place the fifth part of century, more or less. An open air concert by the Thomaston Band, took place on Friday evening, the 29th inst. The charming tones came float ing over the Naugatuck' and up the hill a mile distant, where, when tho atmosphere is favorable, the sweet cadences fall on the ear more pleasa 1tly than when one is near by.
 A man residing in this town, has, dur ing number of years, habitually shaved himself with case knife-yes, with a case knifei-one of the old-fashioned kind one having the ring of true metal-one made pon honor long and broad, such as our forefathers and foremothers delight ed to. use ill those by-gone times, when 1t was considered no disgrace to be seen shovelling in generous mouthful, instead of endeavoring to pick up quartered peas on the point of fork-tine!

TOTAL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO DATE.

Washington partially canvassed only.
 There now remains to be raised, in Washington, Roxbury, and Bridgewater, but about $60,000, to make the total of Cash Subscriptions on that route $4OO, 900; @ sum which, we understand, is to be se- cured before the construction of the Road will be undertaken. t1t.
 We are informed that the estimates on the Shepaug line are completed, and that they do not vary materially from the ori, ginal estimates.
 The survey of the New Milford route, now in progress, will soon furnish the Company with results in that direction. There can be no doubt but the small amount now required to construct one line or the other, will be obtained within a few weeks, which would enable the Company to commence operations early this Fall, and to open the Road the coming season.

We notice from the foregoing table that while there has been, on the whole, only an increase of twelve per cent. in maria ges between Americans since 1856, and no increase of marriages between foreigners, the number of mixed marriages have in- creased in the proportion of five to two. During the year past, more than one fourth of the foreigners who married among us. married native Americans; more than one eighth of the Americans marrying took foreign wives or husbands. There may have been an occasional mar riage between the foreign and the native born in this country of foreign parents, but the falling off in native marriages shows that the mixed marriages are for the most part between Yankees and foreigners.
 Tn this matter of mingling races. it is sometimes hard to make beginning, but with so large proportion of emigrants marrying natives from the outset, it is not difficult to see that it win not take many generations to effect a pretty thorough fusion in Connecticut. The difficulty in the way of amalgama. ton in Canada is the same that has occa- stoned the preponderance of the 'sDutch' in certain counties in Pennsylvania. A part of the. population. speaking a different tongue, herd together. in certain localities where they re- main isolated. Hence it is probable that our German immigrants will not so soon fuse with the native population as the Irish. It is absurd to suppose, however. that time will not soon accomplish this re. suit. Whether the race formed by such a fusion will be an improvement on the ex- isting Yankee, or otherwise, is matter oi pure speculation. There are no data from which an opnion can be safely formed. Our own notion is, that the future o1 America is mnch more question of gov ernmsnt, climate, and untrammellei growth, than of race.
 sd The steady and rapid increase and grea preponderance of mixed marriages il which the husband is foreign and the wife native. throws light on another great ques tion. We have heard much of the greater regard paid by woman to social distinc tons than by man. How happens it.then
 that the native female overcomes her ore iudice against an alliance with foreigner so much more easily than the native male
 Is marriage so much more social neces aity to woman than 10 man, that she compelled to overlook all social distinc tions, when the great end of her life is il view? s.is.s--. a' a

BROOKLYN, July 28, 1870.

BROOKLYN, July 28, 1870.
 The heated term has marked effect up on the usual course of things here. Soda Water and Ottawa Beer are substitutes for public amusemen ts, and infammable dis courses wane under the superiority of the sun as an agitator. Ministers and congre- gations, a classification which signifies Brooklyn, are about going or have already "gone to grass;" and for the matter of that might in some cases, continue there without being missed. Such of our breth ren, however, as may be visiting Litch- field, with its inyigorating breezes and in- tellectual diet, are. wanted back in the ear ly fall to give tone 10 the coming season. This remark also applies to 9 few others.
 Rest is sometimes desirable, if not through solitary confinement, yet that in- vigoration, taken through absence of friends and detention in the city, is what might be termed negatioe recuperation. If descriptions of such kind of city life, it's discomforts, vexatious moods, and pros trations, would make tho tempers or the condition of ,boarders more endurable un- der high prices, or your readers more cor tented with the beauties of the country, sufficient could be found in our State to make out an invigorating case. We are open to contracts. .'.,. '..|. .-.....a. ....
 Mir. Beecher sticks to his work heroical- ly, although the heat cuts off full rations; for we have only one sermon Sundays, and even that is to be discontinued this month. The church will not be closed for repairs and decoration. although it might as we'll be, so far as full attendance is concerned. It takes star to fill it, and not even a full-sized planet can do that in hot wealth CT. Coney island, where clans and burnt noses are served up in conjunction with empty pocket-books and surf bathing, will soon have the more popular resort.
 Prospect Park is filling noble mission, nowadays. Fresh air, comfort and rest, when there are no mosquitoes, can be found there amid beautiful walks, groves, and charming scenery. A family man can feel for once that he can take full breath and count his perplexities or his children in the intervals. When he vacates his seat, others, more romantic, coming along the same road, will enjoy it at some length in reveries trife more visionary.
 
 3 So it is at the Montague Street abut- ment, which gives fine view of the bay and city. Moonlight nights can be en- joyed while resting your chin on peni- tentiary-looking railing, and snifing the breeze, as a qansin snuffs the fumes of poor restaurant. q (fLl. ...f i,
 The Rink, a doubtful success as a place for skating is found to be pop ular for summer evening concerts. Fine orchestral music, with vocal and instrumental solos, are certainly enjoyable with good surroundings; but with all the music, fine decorations. refreshments, and opportunities for comfort, there is the un- pardonable nuisance of tobacco smoke. Think of the harmony of the fumes of doubtful segars with music and ladies' 50.

.H0 Dr. R. J. Gatling, inventor of the Gatling gun. has left for Europe for the purpose of exhibiting his great gun. There bids fair to be an excellent opening for some such invention that will increase the uncertainties of war. The outcry against the supposed increase of loss of life from improved weapons is ridiculous. Every improvement that has taken place, every increase of gun shot range. and ev- cry invention increasing the frequency ol the soldiers shot. keeps the parties engag- ed at greater distance from each other, makes the line of battle thinner, and de. creases the relative loss of life. - ....

Ha The fervor of our German popula. tion against France, shows how deep was the hostility engendered by the wars of the old Napoleon. We have little idea of the suffering incident to those magnificent campaigns of the greatest soldier of all time. As long as France had only kings and aristocracies to fight, she was every where victorious; but when her desolating wars, her exactions and her tyranny, had aroused the people of Europe against her, even the wonderful genius of Napoleon could not save her from defeat.
