Too Bad.-Last Saturday, when the loco motive was standing in Lakeville waiting for the signal to come to our village after the two car loads of our citizens who were to go to the Railroad celebration in that village, car attached to the locomotive, was loaded full of men and boys who were waiting patiently, and with delight beam- ing from every feature of their counteuan- ces, in anticipation of such c aaSce ride to Salisbury. The signal was given; the en- zine puffed; the wheels turned and rapidly rolled toward Salisbury; but mary an inch" did the car budge, with its load of men and boys. Very mysterously CD of course, the coupling in some way became disconnected, and when the engine moved off. the car forgot to follow. Every imaginable shade of difinition to the word disappointment, was illustrated with life like accuracy on their dejecte6 couEtenances. Twas too bad anyway, and although others laughed heartily, they failed utterly in discovering where the laugh came in.

 There appears to be much talk just now in our village of opening marble quarry. It is said there are within mile of each other, two as good quarries of marble for lime, as is known in the United States. In fact the whole town of Canaan is more or less founded on marble quarry, and it is thought there is enough marble in the town to supply the state with lime for many years. All that appears needed at these quarries, is cooperation and capital, and it would seem, that with such a mine of wealth waiting to be hoisted into use, the day IS no far distant when they will be inn proved. ...... The children in our village are receiving their full quota of the diseases incident to their tender ages. Whooping. cough, humps, scarlet fever and measels are quite prevalent, but we hope to see the end of this unusual sickness among the little ones soon, Four deaths occurred here last week. ..... Having in this town, so far as I have been able to ascertain, is not more than a two thirds crop. .......Some think that if our village was provided with a first class ''lock up," it would be well patronized. Railroad workingmen would not be the only ones who would enjoy it's accommodation.

MORE TROUBLE IN PARIS THRRArENED.-

MORE TROUBLE IN PARIS THREATENED The Count de Chambord, who has been hungering for the French throne for many years, and patiently waiting for something to turn up that should afford him an op- portunity to test his chances for the coveted prize, now thinks the time favorable and Paris is excited over demonstrations in his favor. He has issued a proclamation calling upon the people to rally round the Bourbons, and there are fears of an insurrection. He has given out his motto as decentralization, liberty and universal suffrage" with sig nifcant reference to s'the white flag of Henry the Nth and Joan of Arc, which conquered Alsace and Lorraine" The consequence is immense excitement is Paris and fears of another revolutionary outbreak. As Paris has been quiet for several weeks, perhaps it is time to be looking for another disturbance, and this time, too, from the opposite extreme of French politics from the Communists, to wit: the regular branch of the Bourbons. The Count de Chambord, whose name in full is Henri Ferdinand Marie Dieudomie d. Artois, is the grandson of Charles X., the last Bourbon King of France.

A FoE CoMNG.-According to the Wes- tern journals, an army of invaders is now marching eastward from the Rocky Noun tains, which threatens the United States with greater and more lasting injuries than any foreign foe could inflict.
 When Colorado began to be settled, a wild potato was found on the eastern slope of the mountains, which was infested by the larve of species of beetle called dory- phora decemliniata. This creature soon attacked the cultivated potato, and under the name of the Colorado potato bug, be- gan its eastward advance. It entered Wis consin, at the southwest Corner, in 1862 i; Northern Indiana in 1867. and Southern Illinois in 1868, and is now moving on, with it's front forming an irregular line ex- tending from the northwestern borders of Ohio to places south of Indianapolis. Within seven or eight years, at most, it threatens to reach the Atlantic coast, and to destroy or seriously limit the culture States
 The ravages of the insect are committed in the larva, which is matched out of the egg while the potato plant is young and tender. It is described as plump ''bug." about half an inch long, of ''a Venetian red inclining to cream color, black head and double row of black spots or ''dots" along the side. The eggs are laid in groups of twenty or thirty on the under side of the leaf, and the last brood of each season upon reaching the proper state hide in the ground until the following spring ready to begin depredations on the new crops.

Ishootsnq Match.-Two men from Bos,o

Shooting Match.-Two men from Boston corners went to the Mt. Riga pond fishing last Saturday, and wishing boat, asked an owner of one for his, but as the owner was to go out on the pond himself, would not consent to their having it. They, however, being earnest in their work, went off to the pond, and finding said boat, broke its lock and padded into the deep. When the owner came for it and found it occu- pied by those whom he had refused, he was exceedingly wroth," and returning to his hab;tation aLd summoning 10 or 12 of his associates, we'll armed, to his assistance, proceeded to the pond and after ordering them ashore, and receiving nothing in reply but insults and vigorous rowing to the opposite shore, opened fire on them. One of the men received ball through his arm and hat, which was considered by them as sufficient inducement to return and deliver up the boat. If this was not judicious course to pursue to get back their boat, it certainly was a very persuasive one.

 A match game of base ball was contested last Monday, on the grounds of the Mutual Jr., of this village, between the Mechanics of Lakeville and the Nine Muffs of Dover, N. Y. The game was decided in favor of the latter with score of 2l to l8.......T The farmers are improving this fine weather in getting in their hay. All complain of light crop and general scarcity all through this section, and think it must bring high price next winter. Some of them are now selling their hay from their meadows, for l8 and 20 dollars per ton.......One of the finest features of our many out door amuse- ments, was that enjoyed by the e1ste of our village on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday of last week. It consisted of dancing party in Dakin's grove, in the eastern part of the town. There was also arranged beautiful croquet ground in this grove, expressly for this occasion. The music was furnished by Prof. Barton's most excellent band, and so well did all e enjoy themselves, that they danced till the ''a0ee swG hours," when they dispersed, feeling we'll paid for their trouble in pre- pairing the entertainment. All seemed to fully appreciate the Ice cream and Soda water arrangements on the ground, as the day was exceedingly warm and they were well patronized Much credit is due to friend Frank, who had the general super vision of all the arrangements for the oc- casion, as nothing appeared to be out of order and all went well. The most harm I wish him is to hear that he has arranged for another just such party, and has coun- ted me in as one. CURRENTE CALAMo.

Mont Ccnis Tunnel and the Suez
 Canal

Canal
 Two of the greatest enterprises, or public works of the present age in Europe, and which have recently been completed at an immense expence, it is feared are soon des- tined to become failures. The nature of the rocky portion of the roof of the Mont Cenis Tunnel through the Alps between Italy and France is such that it is almost constantly falling upon the railroad track beneath, owing to the non adhesive qual- ities of the mountain rock when deprived of support from beneath, and exposed to atmospheric influences. The Suez Canal is rapidly filling up with sand, and the expense of keeping it open to it's proper depth, it is thought will SO far exceed the income from tolls, &c., that the Company will soon be short of funds, and as both works Were constructed mainly by French capital, the present financial affairs of the empire, or new republic, are in a condition which will probably prevent an increase of capital, which it is said will be required to render these :Wo great works available.

Pasd.-On the margin of the paper of every subscriber who has paid us to the time for which he has subscribed, will be plainly written the word Paid on the paper that immediately follows the receipt by us of the money. We are authoritativelY in- formed that this, with statement in our paper that it is designed as an acknowledg- ment of payment, is all that is necessary. We adopt this course for the present as it is great saving 70 us in time. If any who have paid us do not find their succeeding paper properly marked in acknowledge ment, we hope they will lose no time in informing us to that effect, when we shall endeavor to ascertain the cause of its being omitted. If those who have subscribed do not regularly receive their papers, or any thing whatever has gone wrong concern ing them, we hope that none will be offen- ded, but will inform us of the trouble and give us an opportunity to make all right. If any mistakes occur it will be on account of the haste necessary to serve SO many promptly, and most certainly scith aaO design to cGuse offence.

Horse KSAed.-Last Tuesday while MT. Wm. Miles was moving with his horses, one of them suddenly stopped for some reason or another and backed itself into the knives of his moving machine, and cut one it's hind feet almost entirely off. Be- ing positively certain the horse was ruined, and in fact would have bled to death in a short time, he procured gun, and leading the animal to a piece of woods near by, ended it's misery by shooting him.

MR. ED1ToR.-As have never had the pleasure of an introduction to you, I take the liberty. of introducing myself l am
 sir, very respectfully your most obedient servant, Clario. have read the first num- Der of the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS, and am much pleased with its appearance. think it will rank with the first in the state, and I wish you success which I further substantiate by enclosing $2.O0 for subscription for one year, on this condition that you discontinue it at the close of the term, if fail to renew, which think the better way of reminding one of his delin- quency. am aware, that to make news paper what it should be, viz: very interest ing, the public should contribute literally, not only in money, but in news and infor- nation in general. There is not one of the reading public but what has some item, that would be of interest to everybody else, however of little impor- tance he might consider it himself; there fore, in accordance with the above truths, I send you this, my first mighty effort..... The '.Ames Iron Works" 8 land mark of nearly fifty years, is rapidly passing away, and in few months will be known only in history. I presume there are good many people within reach of the ''News," that know but little of what the "Iron works" consist. There are about 60 acres of land, most of which is under a high state of cultivation, for the late MT. Ames was a very nice farmer, if not a profitable one. One building, 26sxs0, with steam and water hammers, furnaces, cranes, water wheels, all of the most approved patterns and all in good working order, which cost at least $2OO 900. One building 2OOxlOo feet, with water hammers, furnaces, locomo- tive tire rolls, and blowers all complete
 One building, 4Ox50 feet, formerly used for blacksmiths shop; store house 25x
 40 feet barn costing $6, 1000, 4Ox6O feet: and 17 dwelling houses containing 25 tene
 ments. In and around the "works," is nearly 1000 tons of iron, cast and wrought, which is worth over $20 per ton. All this vast property was sold to the Housatonic Railroad company for $75,O00. Surely 8 great bargain! The first named building is to be removed, to make room for the round house, which will be about l75 feet in diameter; and will hold about IA locomo- tives. The roof has already been stripped of it's slate, and MT. William Wolfe & Sons have contracted to take down the frame work. MT. Wolfe is an old veteran, of nearly as many years in the village as the s'works," and has seen all it's changes. He is just the man to take them down, as he put them up over 20 years ago. I believe it is proposed to raise the present R. K. bridge and track across the river about four feet, in order to reach their round house, which will be located far cnongh above high water, to secure dry pits underneath their engines. One can hardly imagine the changes that are to take place here, and presume if we could take 'Rip Van Winkle' nap of five years, we would not recognize the place. Now MT. Editor, rather than weary your readers longer, will close. CLAR1o.
 Thanks; weary them as often as you will.-ED.1 r..- ...-

All parents and others having charge ot children living near Railroads, or passing over or near them to and from school, &c. |, should caution and admonish them against playing and lettering near the track, and especially against laying stones or other Instructions on the rails. A train of cars was thrown.off the track some years ago at Falls Village, by children playfully and in- nocently laying stones on the rails, which caused large amount of damage. The law of this state imposes imprisonment upon all persons (of more mature age) found guilty of such acts, and all parents and guardians are liable for the damage so occasioned by their children or wards. These remarks have been induced, from the report that this law has already been violated by one stone found, apparently placed by hands on the rails of our new road, which would probably have caused serious trouble, had it not been discovered and removed before the train passed.

If this was your method MT. Editor, I should beg leave to report this notice under the first head. At Salisbury Centre, July l4th, 1871: newspaper to J.eL. Pease.

We had slight touch of coincidence here in Lakeville last Friday, similar to the one you mentioned in your last issue; for scarcely had the Lakevillains received their first copy of the NEWS at the Post office, when for the first time, up the ''fill" and over the bridge, came the construction train, and the two engines of civilization were in Lakeville. .......One of the grind stones of the Holley Manufacturing Co.,, went off on ''bust" the other day. The little seat over the stone was, happily, vacant at the time, and as consequence 10 one was killed, wounded, or missed...... A closely contested game of ball was played Monday, at Millerton, between the Mechan- ics of Lakeville and the Dover club; result ing in victory to the latter. Score 2l to I9. .....I see that the construction train very materially facilitates communication be- tween the villages along the line. It is very convenient to walk down from the centre; transact your business at Lakeville and see the train move off just before you reach it, and then s'hoof it" back through the dust.

Potato Bug.-Mr. J. W. Spur has shown us specimen of peculiar species of bug, such as he says are rapidly destroying his potatoes. He first discovered them last week Monday, and they are working rap idly in his field. These bugs average in length from one-half to one and one- quarter inches, the differance in length being of course, according to the age. A very narrow yellowish stripe extends en- tirely around their wings, otherwise they are jet black. At times, this light stripe will disappear leaving the bug entirely black. He says that on some of the hills. he has seen as many as half pint of them. They eat the leaves of the potatoes. and leave the naked stalks, and generally manage in somewhat similar manner to the current worm on current bushes, which of course destroys the vitality of the plant. He says the early rose potatoes are their favorites, yet other kinds are more or less attacked by them. One kind however, He calls them the ''Henlock" potatoes have not been attacked by them. They would eat of the others till they came to these and then would stop. Will some body send us practical remedy for this newly arrived pest?
