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.
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Ltchfeld County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic eStrG copies of the EN- oUIRFR containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us. or to any residents of the county such 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
 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 will send copy of our paper regularly in addition to the extra copies mentioned above. d REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS. a f.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication. ......7..s..f' s,Sr'l i'
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired. -, ,sa,'
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub Iication is manifest q, 4~-4s 7. ''...- f.,'-t g
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper. t.-. ."-7
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having the contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signiature. as single let ter being sufficient. <. era sn.<g =
 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. 7

The second meeting of the Reading Cir cle was held last Friday evening, at Mrs. W. c. Rogers, and despite the darkness and few harmless snow flakes the house was we'll filled with happy faces and joyous hearts that seemed to grow happier and more joyful for spending an hour .or two in company with Shakespeare. in listening to songs, and in tripping "the light fam tic toe," which, by the way, was quite a serious innovation and wholly unauthor- ized by the committee. Mir. John T. An drew's rendering of Hamlet was decidedly the feature of the evening. $. = Mir.

The cost 10 the andience was from 8. to $4. eacHs Quite controversy ragged be- tween the Hartford Comunt and Times re- garding the toilet suitable for the proper em9eynentofth this coslly mnsie. The Times, representing the " hard listed Democracy" and all that, went in for full dress, while the Comunt seemed to be of the opinion that those who had already paid from ten to twenty dollars for admission might not have great deal left to buy white kids, to say nothing of dress coats.
 This whole business is not indeed a swindle but an extravaganza. A true true taste for music is never acquired by the occasional hearing of musical celebrities, butsby familiarity witlhleoodg music. Ex. traordinary singers like Nilsson or Jenny Lind draw large crowds mostly from curi. osity. The. surprise and, wonder with which we hear the great performer, are an infi- nitely lower grade: of enjoyment than the indescribable feeling of exaltation produced by great music, In England and the Unit ed States where music is either very dear or very poor. the people are nnmusical. In Germany, where it is cheap and common, we have race where every man is as famil- jar with good music as as 'h,G hs, is with the needle-gan. ''sHo7teq alt ssJ} ss.a

 Of Coi Belden's war record we cannot speak in too high terms. He did his own whole dnty, and, often tue duty of others. He was always present, and participated in the battles of the Peninsula. Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettyaburg,, and the ter rible Wilderness fghts.sa He was so fortu- nate as te escape unhuft in all these battles till those of the Wilderness, where he re- ceived two flesh wounds. So slight a sketch as we are now able to give does small justice to services really heroic. At semefuture time we hope to publish those fuller details dae,so the memory of brave officer whose duty to his country was so nobly performed .esq41a I5 xeJ .ss ,t A1 In the politics of our time, Ool. Belden took great interest and a prominent part
 In early life a Democrat, he joined : the American movement in, 1854. was elected to the State Senate from this District in 1855, and subsequently, declined a position offered him by sthatl party on. their State ticket He was never identified with the Republican party. however. and being a warm admirer of Gen. Mcclellan, strenu- ously advocated his election to the Presi- dency in 1864. From that time he contin-
 ued a Democrat, and took an active part in behalf of Seymour & Blair in the cam paign Of ], 1868. Though speaking elo- qnsntly, effectively. and often. he never forgot his patriotism, and looking back with just pride upon his honorable militia ry. career, he had no sympathy and little patience with the peace wing of his party. The American movement Col. Belden came afterwards to believe mistake, but in his advocacy of the war he remained firm and
