AS may well be imagined, this is source of professional pride to Mir NJ. It delights him to recall the ever deepening mud, and the all prevailing rut made by Himself and his brethren. He congratulates himself that he never for a moment forgot himself so far as to s.oop to throw out a single stone, to drawn in one shovel full of dirt or cinder; and when some conscience smit- ten contractor has made feeble e{fort 10 repair the damaged highways, Mir. M. and his c0nfreres have always taken especial pains to redouble their travel, and with the aid of timely rains, have uniformly succee- ded in demolishiug the ant hill work of the contractor. In further obedience to the teamster's statute in such cases made aud provided, Mir. M. solemnly declares that he has invariably insisted upon bis two thirds of the road, and has never failed 10 take it in the centre of the travelled path. Time and again has he felt that
 "stern joy .hat warriors feel,
 In foemen worthy of their steel"
 When he has encountered some cantan. kerous outsider setting up presumptious claim to one half the road.

 But milder scenes appear in the career ot the exiled Murphy. Horse racing has it's charms and is favorite amusement of the teamster. Murphy says that he has never experienced such unmixcd pleasure as when racing with his comrades six teams abreast, he has seen women and children running for dear life to leave the whole street un- obstructed. Then too, the cup that cheers and always inebriates may be found at convenient distances along the road, and Murphy has whiled away many pleasant hour at the drug stores of Messrs. Farley, Boyle, White, Lawlor, Beers, Murphy, Wolfe, and tue old hero of Barrack- matiff, who died in the harness But alas for Murphy and his compatriots! To use the expressive language of the former; ''This cussed railroad will stop our fun" Such rapid progress fs being made, that in the course of four or Ave years the shriek of the locomotive will take the place of the excruciating creak ot the brake, and then what shall we do without Murphy9 Can we spare him and his fellows? Should he "fold up his tent like the Arab, and silently steal away ?' Can those practical pharmacautlsts thrive as of yore? pause for reply. Mot.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN WATERBURY.--On Saturday night James Cameron of Water bury fell from the top of the Verandah of Mir. Frost's residence in Waterbury to the ground, receiving scalp wound on the back of the head, and a fracture at the base of the skull. He was attended by Dr. North, but the injuries were of a fatal character and he died about o'clock Sun- day afternoon. The deceased was Scotch man, timer by trade. He was out with friend on Saturday night, and returned about midnight in an inebriated condition. He was taken to his room and sometime afterward went out of the window on to the verandah. MT. Frost hearing noise
 went out on the piazza below, and had just spoken to the person above, when he tumbled over, striking heavily on the ground. MT. Cameron was a young man of much intelligence, good workman, and usually steady and reliable, but was in the habit occasionally of using liquor t. excess. He has no relations in this state, but is said to have brother and sister in Wisconsin. On his tombstone, as on those of so many thousand others, might be in- scribed Rum killed him. ."-Hartford Post

ChOlCrns

That terrible scourge, the cholera, is spreading rapidly in westward direction over Europe, and has already appeared with most fatal effects in some portions of Germany. The authorities of the various European nations are making great efforts to prevent its appearance or spread. It is almost certain that it will continue it's course, as in previous years, across the Atlantic, and our own officials should not be taken unawares. The seeds of the dis ease hide themselves in sink-holes, and all manner of foul places.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PRol

GREAT EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE.
 LONDON, Aug. l6.-The deputation of French citizens appointed to visit Ireland and to thank the people of that country for aid given for the relief of the wounded French soldiers during the war with Prussia has arrived. The people of Dublin are wild with excitement and the roads lead ing to the stopping place of the French men became impossible because of the crowds. Wednesday night city band of performers dressed in green marched to the hotel where the Frenchmen are stopping and played American, Irish and French national airs; also Fenian tunes. There was no interference by the police. The deputation reached Shelborne Hotel at 8 o'clock, and in response to the calls of the people came out on the balcony. Martin, member of parliament, made an address to the crowd. A son of Marshal McMahon also arrived with the deputation and was vociferously cheered by the thousands of people assembled. His reception is worthy of notice. Many houses were illuminated tonight and the enthusiasm of the people continues exceedingly great.

The Atlantic Cables.

The steamer Robert Lowe is engaged in undermining and repairing the French cable between the island of St. Pierre and Duxbury, Mass.
 The fact has developed that the loss of both the English cables last year, and the consequent expense and inconvenience, re- suited from a stupendous failure. When the cable of 1866 gave out, the fault was located by the usual tests, in mid-ocean, whither a repair-steamer was despatched to take up and re-unite the two ends.
 In grappling for these the cable of 1865 was picked up and accidentally severed, and effort to find the break in that of 1866 was fruitless. This left the public depen- dent entirely upon the French cable until last Spring, when it was discovered that the fault in the cable of 1866 instead of being in midocean, was in close proximity to the Newfoundland coast, where it might have been repaired in few hours, except for the original mistake, which resulted in the rupture of one cable by eff f1rts to find the break in the other where it did not exist. The facts have an important bearing in promoting the laying of new an6 com- peting cables, confirming as they do the theory that ocean cables once properly laid in deep water, are little liable to be severed.

ESrI sometimes go musing along the street to see how few people there are whose faces look as though any joy had come down and sung in their souls. I can see the lines of thought and of care and of fear-money lines, shrewd, grasping lines but how few happy lines. The rarest feeling that ever lights the human face is the contentment of loving soul. Sit for an hour on the steps of the exchange in

Lakeville and some from adjacent towns, held picnic in Gov. Holley' grove. The object of it was to raise funds for the Cath clio church in Lakeville. At dawn, many a votary of the flight fantastic toe" rose to cast glance at the prospects of the com ing day, and to their unutterable chagrin, found that old father Sol. had made but little progress in enlightening this part of Litchfield county. We had expected Q larger attendance, but no doubt the lower ing morning occasioned many to stay away who otherwise would have come. Every thing went on agreeably, and though the pleasure seekers belong to traditionally impulsive race, stranger might have ob served but little difference between their holiday enjoyment, and that of our more staid American friends. Up to 8 P. NJ. it was thus; but what change the liquor sellers may have made in the finale, can not tell. The music of the string and Lakeville bands was all that was desired, and remember when in one or two instan- ces of the real sports, not all of our party, were ruff1ing their feathers fora fight, what soothing influence the notes of the ''Red, White and Blue" and "Patrick's day" had on the irate ones of the assembly. Allow me in concluding this communication, to express my thanks to Gov. Holley for his kindness in allowing us the use of his grove, and, in the name of the people who en- joyed the picturesque scenery, to express the wish that such kindness will be mutual between all parties of what nature soever. The gross receipts of the picnic were $437. was astonished at the maudlin temerity of young man, not of us, though well come, who thought it his right to raise brawl that every one wished to avoid. In the kindliest spirit, let me say that such young men willlea sometime that it is dan. gerous to interrupt the enjoyment of party who predetermined to have a day of fun, jollifcation and money making.

Journals resumed publication to-day.
They are unanimous in the opinion
of the impression produced by the
preliminary terms of peace as being
very bad. They declare that no peace
is real when obtained under such du-

and concord as the only means OF
making the country great and pros
porous. The authorities are prepar-
ing to disband the Mobile Guards in
Paris. The city is quiet to-day. A
number Of persons, suspected Of being
spies, were arrested by the people
and several women, seen talking with

meetings are held day and night in
the Place de la Bastile, but no serious
