Tuesday, 9th, was the county meeting of the Episcopal Clergy. Services were held in St. Andrews church in the forenoon and evening. h the afternoon the Sunday school and many of the members of St. Andrews met in picnic at the Rev. Charles Husbands. Tables were placed bereath the maple trees and beautifully supplied with all the good things that gas- tronomy knows. which disappeared in the truest picnic style.
 The tobacco crop is nearly all harvest ed. There is some complaint of rust, but in general the crop is fair one, and the past week has been excellent for housing it, being wholly bright and clear. We had frost two nights in the very lowest and dampest places. You would have laughed to have seen the tobacconists the next day; they did their ''level best" More tobacco has been grown about here this year, than ever before. Let the Western States fur nish corn. LINKS.

The railroad is being fast finished up for by MT. Seymour, the engineer of the lower portion, that the track is laid from Flaw. leyville to within mile of the Housatonic bridge. The bridge will be completed in 8 few days and track laying will be pushed ahead rapidly. The next bridge, at Beaver Hole Rock, will be put up in short time, work having already been commenced on it. The tunnel will be ready for ties and track in few days. The deep rock cut near Sherman Woodruffs is at last finished, work having been commenced there the 10th of last January. The railroad hands say they shall be off in g short time and the cannonading along the line will soon give place to the rushing engine and screeching whistle.

Political Prospects.


 The redemption of California, last week, of North Carolina month since, the par tial success in Wyoming, the great gains in Maine, and the uprising of the tax-pay- CTS of New York against the Tammany ring, augur well for Republication in 1872. It would be remarkable if all the Fall cleo. tions keep up to the foregoing samples, but the New Departure is evidently doomed to failure. Like most half measures it is worth more to it's opponents as a comics. sion of error than to its friends as prom ise of reform. It remains to be seen wheth. CT Republicans will net make blunders enough next winter to offset the New De- parture iasco.
 Congress cannot afford to forget that a thorough tariff reform is needed. The practice of protecting manufacturing in. terests rather in proportion to their impor- tunity than to their deserts has led to nu- merous injustices and irregularities under which the people, especially of the West, are very restiye. Everything. too, that can be done should be done towards specie resumption, funding the debt at lower rate of interest, and civil service reform. Southern ''carpet baggers" should also be given to understand that they must either stop thieving or kill their own Ku. Klux. Republication cannot preach pur- ityat the North and protect rascality at the South, ,-all in the same presidential cam. paign.

 The centennial celebration of St. Paul's church occurred on Wednesday the 9th instant. The attendance was large and the exercises were engaged in with more than ordinary interest. About twenty clergymen were present. Bishop Williams preached in the morning from Psalms, All. After this came the communion. In the afternoon the Rector, Rev. John Purves, gave full and interesting historical ad- dress. At the evening service the Rev. Dr. Beardsley' gave one of his admirable historical discourses. The singing was un- der the direction of Walter Marshall, Esq. of Pittsburgh, who is grandson of the first rector of the parish. MT. Marshall is we'll versed in what is true church music, and consequently we had no limitations of the opera in this part of the service. St. Paul's may we'll be proud of the exercises on this one hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Rev. John Rutgers Marshall.
 Arrangements are nearly perfected for the reunion and dedication of our sol diers' monument on the 26th instant. The programme will be nearly as follows:
 Regiment form about eleven o'clock in front of town Hall, march from there to the North church, return to Town Hall, where it will receive Gov. Jewell and other invited guests. also the President and ora. tor of the day. the officers of the Woodbury Monumental Association, the widows, or phans and near relatives of our deceased soldiers, and escort them to the monument. The exercises there will be short in- troductory address by the president of the day, W. Cothren, Esq, prayer by Rev. John Churchill, address by Col. Fem, song by the Woodbury Glee Club. At the close will come the collation., after which the Regiment will have it's sociable, when we anticipate some spicy speeches from its members, and of course Gov. Jewell and other distinguished persons who are to be present will give us some words of cheer. The old Drum Corps of the Regiment are expected, so tell the boys to bring their in- struments, for there are many old ears aching to hear them.
