on the point of being discouraged, and was going to the hotel to stay, and ''perhaps would call ia the morning." Mrs. B. on learning his business, would in no wise allow him to go away, but with a good supper induced him to wait till Mir. B. re- turned, which he did late at night. The result of the interview was that MT. Butler entered into the work with will, and has all the time since so continued to work, till the task is completed, and the iron horse is here. He said that to Mrs. Butler, more than to Mr. Butler, was due the credit of having a railroad. MT. H. J. Holt, in behalf of the citizens of Norfolk, in a speech of 15 minutes, in which he gave a detailed account of the multiplicity of bene- fits to be derived by the citizens, and ex- tending to MT. E. T. Butler their sincere thanks, presented him with an elegant and very heavy double case gold watch of American manufacture. On one of the ! outsides of the watch were engraved the monogram B. T. B. On the other was an excellent representation of train of cars in motion. On the inside case was en. graved this inscription. "Presented to E. T. Butler, Esq, by the citizens of Norfolk, as recognition of his services in the con- struction of the Connecticut Western rail road" Mir. Butler in receiving the watch said that language was inadequate to ex press his thanks for the beautiful gift. ''Is it So; can it be: that qua the recipient of such gift as this." He said he was happy that his efforts were SO thoroughly appreciated. John Q. Adams, Esq, ot West Cornwall now came forward on be ing introduced by the chairman and saic that he felt he had no part in this affair except as a resident of Litchfield county he felt an interest in anything that con cerned any of the towns in the county He gave in eloquent language, the benefits to be derived from such enterprises as rail roads, and substantiated his remarks by accurate statistics of railroads, telegraph! &c. MT. Adams is a forcible speaker, anc always commands attention. On accoun of the lateness of the hour, and the many miles to travel before we reached Salisbury we were compelled to leave the rostrun just as the Hon. N B. Stevens was an nounced as the next speaker. To tht chairman, MT. J. K. Shepard, our thank: are due for the many kind attentions re ceived. Everything for our comfort being amply provided.

 The Iron company have completed their work of repairing their furnace and have commenced heating it. They are now get ting in large quantities of coal and will soon again be in full blast. We seem to be particularly favored with ''drummers. In my correspondence last week, l spoke of one who was properly advertised and the next Thursday evening, one from Bridge port put in an appearance. This man it ap- pears, makes it bis special business to sell "benzine," for drinking purposes. He had the audacity to follow about, and pass in close proximity in the streets, three of our village ladies. who were not only exceedingly annoyed but actually became very much frightened at his peculiar and impudent conduct. This occurred in the early part of the evening, and he contin- ued this way of doing, passing, then dodg. ing into the hotel till after they lad pas. sed, then out again and getting by them. would stop in the most insulting manner and allow them again to pass. In fact, if we had in our midst a jackass who had no better manners, he would be knocked in the head instanter. It is the general i'm pression that if he choses to get not only advertised, but dealt with in perhaps not as gentle manner, he can attempt to re- peat these maneuvers -four freighter. Mir. Wedge is now getting in large quantities of butter, and judging from the number of boxes and chicken coops, poultry must suffer........S w. Merrifield's, Tin shop and Confectionery store was broken into last Saturday night, and about $50 worth of cigars, some candy, and two or three dol lars in small change left in the drawers was taken. No clue is yet obtained to the burglars.

O'Brfen's Menagerie. exhibited here last Friday was very orderly and well conducted show. The general ex- pression of all who attended during the afternoon and evening was, that as an ex- Intuition travelling through the country, it was better than the average. We under stand that they said they had here about three times as large ''houses" as in Barring ton the day previous. The day was pleas. ant and all passed off well, with but very lt- tie drunkenness or disorder of any kind, till about five o'clock in the afternoon when few, whom we learn were from Mt Riga, or at least most of them were, and who brought their s'benzine" with them, tried pretty hard to get into fight with some body. Several years ago, when a circus visited this place, we understand that young lad was killed in fight which was created by drunken rowdies from Mt Riga, and since that time the people have not been anxlous that such exhibitions should come here. It certainly is an advantage to the town, to admit good and orderly ex- hibitions of this kind, and if we are to be debarred the privilege on account of some who come from Mt Riga, and who in variably create disturbance, it would be better to station a company of the Home guard in the outskirts of the village, and prevent their attendance. It seems SD ex- ceedingly foolish that some people cant do anything out of the ordinary course of their lives, but that they must celebrate the event by getting drunk. A grand drunk seems to be the necessary accompa- niment to everything. Can't go fishing, or even to 8 funeral without getting drunk. There are some who reside on Mt Riga, we are happy to say, who do not get drunk and they are always welcomed when they come among us, but the rabble who make both night and day hideous with their drunken caterwaulings, our citizens have no desire to see here.

From Washington.

Washington, 90 HORACE J. Clark, one Of
the directors of the N Y|Central Railroad,
has written letter to Commissioner Pleas
anton in which he says: The statement that
Col. Thompson or any person connected with
the international revenue bureau, gave in
formation of the decision in the contract tax
case in advance of its PRONUNCIATION through
the press, is entirely without foundation. In
fact, the first knowledge or intmation of the
decision was received through the daily
journals. The charge against Col. Thomp-
son is known by the directors and officers Of
the New York Central Railroad to be untrue
