WOMAN SUFFRAGE. E.-The anual meeting of the Woman Suffrage Association took place at Hartford. last week. Mrs. Isabel. Ia B. Hooker was made President for the coming year and resolutions were passed from which we select the following which ought to convince candid opponents of the folly of the outcry about free-love
 Resolued, That the claim made by some of the opponents of woman suffrage that the marriage relation will in some way become impaired ifwomen are enfranchised is not only unjust so far it tributes desire for such result to any consider able number of advocates of woman suffrage, but is utterly unphilosophical and absurd. The hearts Of women will always be in their homes. The best condition ofthe marriage relation is, and always will more important to tho happiness of women than to that of men, and when women have the right to vote they will vote down overwhelmingly every attempt by legislation to degrade that rela open the door to any allowed violation of it's dig mites and sanctities. They may also be relied up on to condemn with equal emphasis the attempt which has so many advocates among men, to h- cense prostitution in our cities.
 To the recommendation to electors fa- Vorable to woman suffrage "to withhold their votes from every candidate for office at the next state election who is not known to be in favor of the enfranchisement of women" we cannot acceed. We have little faith in ''third parties', apd the time has not yet come in Connecticut, as in Massa chusetts. for forcing the issue on either of the two great parties.

 EDITOR OF ENoU1RER:-Will you do me the favor to correct an error in the commu. |. nication of your correspondent, 'solace, in this weeks issue. Lest some of my friends should address me at Atlantic City, please say that I have removed to Vineland. Your type-setter also makes me speak of cherishing pleasant remains. instead of memories of Litchfield associations. = There are as yet very few traces of frost in this region, flower. gardens still making a fine show, and the weather very warm. Two railroads pass through Vineland, the West Jersey, connecting Philadelphia, two hours distant, with Cape May; and the Vineland, running in connection with the New Jersey Southern to New York.
 We left Wolcottville at 7:1O, A. A., spent three hours in New York. and reached Vineland at 9:45, the same evening. The first hour and half is spent on the Boat. between Pier 28. foot of Murray St., and Sandy Hook, where the Railway termin- ates. The sail, need not say, is a very delightful one. Respectfully,

FARMERS REUNION.

At the annual meeting of the Litchfeld County Agricultural Society holden on the evening of Wednesday. Oct. 4, 1871. oom- mittee was appointed to take into consid- eration the expediency of changing the time of holding the annual meeting from the fall to the winter, and that a farmers club be substituted in place of it. to be holden on the evening of the first day of the fair.
 At this meeting it is proposed to discuss such sub bjects as the culture of fine fruits, strawberries. blackberries, pears, apples &c.,, interspersed with an occasional song, and music from the band; subjects, all of them, interesting alike to old and young, male and female. It is believed that in no way can the evening be spent SO pleasantly and proftably. The committee met at the close of the meeting and compared views with tue following result. to wit: that the annual meeting be held at such time in the winter as shall hereafter be thought best
 At this annual meeting it is proposed to hold what is called farmers reunion, or in other words. family gathering of all the offspring of the parent Society, at ten o'clock, A. M. Agricultural discussion at l2, M.. dinner at 8.
 In behalf of the committee,

FROM OUR NEW HAMPSHIRE COR
 RESPONDENT.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER:-The newspa- pers inform us that the past has been very
 poor season at Niagara. There have been
 crowds of visitors at Newport and at Long
 Branch. while some of the Camp Meeting stations. like Martha's Vineyard, have be- come famous summer resorts. and the sea
 coasts of Connecticut, Massachusetts. New
 Hampshire and Maine are, and, for years
 to come, will be, freqneDted by large mum
 boss in search of health and recreation; but it is evident that, fer summer rest, the
 tide is setting strongly from our cities to
 ward the mountains of Northern New Eng
 laud. Almost every little town in the inte-
 rior of New Hampshire has come to be a
 summer home for families from New York,
 Boston, Charlestown, Cambridge and other
 New England cities. Hotels have been
 erected and neatly and comfortably fur
 nished for this summer campaign, and all over the country there are farm houses
 which are full of boarders during the
 months of July and August. During the
 week, tLese companies are composed most ly! of ladies and children, but the trains
 Saturday afternoon and evening bring their
 husbands, fathers. brothers, sons and lov- CTS. It is noticed that the las: mentioned
 of these usually reach their waiting friends early on Saturday, while the late trains bring more of the sons and husbands. And happier or more agreeable company of visitors cannot be found anywhere. 1t IS popular to attend church Sabbath morning, among the mountains: and in general. there is very little that can be called Sabbath dissertation. On week days croquet is favorite amusement, while some play chess, and more are found pen. etrating every shady dell or climbing the rocky summits. In general, the ladies climb we'll, but do not excel in fishing. This last mentioned recreation is very pop. ular, for the trout of New Hampshire are famous. In the southern part of the State, at the foot of Grand Monadnock on the north, lies Monadnock Lake, the waters of which are very deep and clear. Trout of of immense proportions lie near the bottom of this, and these are often of great age and SO fat and lazy, that they will not touch a hook, though the bait be never so dainty. The only way of taking them is to drop a large hook, if possible. under their sides, and by a sudden movement of the line, se- ,aFe them. .-----r----- N. l

LAKEv1LIE. very interesting meet lngs have occurred here, which I have pleasure in reporting. The first was on Tuesday evening. last, when Dr. Fl. l.. King delivered very interesting discourse on the "Life of Andrew Jackson" The attendance, am sorry to say, was small; either it was not sufficiently advertised. or the interest which used to be shown for these intellectual treats has terribly abated.
 The second was held by our mutual friends, the Good Samaritan Society. at Chapinville. on Sunday evening, when the Reverend Mir. Bouton, T. l.. Norton, Esq, and Dr. Fl. M. Knight, addressed the meeting. The last named gentleman spoke with his usual earnestness, showing that his zeal for the good cause was unabated, and that he did not intend to be weary of we'll doing. Their united eloquonce was the cause of 35 additions to the list. already numbering between 500 and 600. Before the close of the meeting, the hearers had been so drawn towards the right by their earnest pleadings, that when, In order to ascertain :he feelings of the community, the following question was asked, viz: How many are willing that the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors shall be prohibited in the dis trict of Chapinville?

MARK TWAIN'S CHOIR ON BOARD
 THE "OUAKER CITY"

We all enjoyed ourselves-I think can safely say that, but it was in 8 rather quiet way. We very, very seldom played the piano; we played the flute and clarionet to- gether. and made good music too, what there was of it, but we always played the same old tune; it was a very pretty tune how we'll I remember it-I wonder if shall ever get rid of it. We never played either the melodeon or organ, except at devotions-but I am to fast; young Albert knew part of q tune, something about 70 somethlng-or-otber how Sweet it is to Know that he's his Whats his Name," 1T do not remember the exact title of it, but 1t was very plaintive and full of sentiment. Albert played that tune pretty much all the time until we contracted with him to restrain himself. Bnt nobody ever sang
 by moonlight on the upper deck. and the congregational singing at church and prayers was not of a superior order of arch lecture. I put up with it as long as could. and then joined in and tried to i'm prove 1t, but this encouraged young George to join in too and that made failure of it; because Georges voice was just ''turning, and when he was singing dismal sort of base. 1t was apt to fly off the handle and startie every body with a most discordant cackle on the upper notes. George didn't know the tunes, either, which was also a drawback to his performances. I said
 "Come, now, George, don't improvise. It looks too egotistical. It will provoke re- mark. Just stick to Coronation, like the others. It is good tune-and you can't improve it any. just off-hand, in this way"
 "Why I'm not trying to improve it-and ana singing like the others-iust as it is in the notes." And he honestly thought he was too; and so he had no one to blame but himself when his voice caught in the centre occasionally, and gave him the lock jaw.
 There were those among the unregener- ated who attributed the unceasing head. winds to our distressing choir music Thee were those who said openly that it was taking chances enough to have such ghastly music going on, even when it was at It's best. and that to exsggerate the crime by letting George help was simply flying In the face of Providence. These said that the choir would keep up their laceratine attempts at melody until they would bring down storm some day that would sink the ship. There were even grumblers at prayers. The executive officer said the had no charity;
 "Ihere they are, down there every night at eight bells, praying for fair winds-when they know as we'll as I do that this is the only ship going East this time of the year. but there's thousand coming West what's fair wind to us Is a head,oina to tAem-the Almighty's blowing fair wind for thousand vessels, an this tribe wants him to turn 1t clear around so as to accom- modate oue,-and she d steamship at that! It ain't good sense, it ain't good reason, it ain't good Christianity, and it ain't com. mon human charity. Avast with such non sonse :"

SELF DECoRATIoN.-IfI were called upon to point out the most alarming sins in this city to-day, those which are most wide- spread in their ravages, most deceitful in their influences, and most soul destroying in their ultimate effects. would not men, ton drunkenness with all it's fearful havoc. nor gambling with its. crazed victims, nor harlotry with its helish orgies, but the loue of money, on the part of men, and the love V display. on the part of women. While op- en vice sends its thousands, these fashiona. ble and favored indu!gences send their ten thousands to perdition. They scar the conscience, encrust the soul with shell of worldiness, debauch the affection from eve- ry high and heavenly object, and make man or woman worshiper of self. And, while doing all this, the poor victim is al- lowed by public opinion to think himself the gambler, and the prostitute is not de- ceived by such thought for moment.
 The three glories of a woman-her tri- pie crown, which makes her power moro efficient than that of the Vatican, and con- stitutes her in her true and normal life the minister of grace and health to the race are modesty, truth and sympathy. All three of these are tarnished by the self-dec- orator. For modesty, we have the brazen face with which young misses even stare unblushingly at all they meet for truth, we have the perpetual lie of fashionable society; and for sympathy. tho headlong plunges after selfish indulgence. do not speak as cynic, as one who would morose- ly deny the proper recreation and light en. lOyments that our natures need as they do air aud food, nor do I ignore the fact that some noble spirits are faithfully resisting this spreading evil, but with all these al- lowances, see the Christian church vio- lently invaded by this fatal iniquity; I see Christian mothers justifying it on eveery hand, and Christian daughters dragged in to the vortext by the very hands that ought to have been throwing around them for protection; I see the influence of this self decoration by the force of example ex- I tending itself over all classes and conditions of society, like subtle poison. eating out the life of Christianity and leaving the mere name. And, seeing this, can not, as minister of Jesus Christ, keep silent without becoming partaker of the sin. It is my duty to warn Christian women of this foe to piety that they are more or less nursing in their hearts and in their fami- lies. and to urge them to that simplicity of apparel which is alone consistent with a Christian heart. and which will ever help them to be separated from vain and god less world.

Flood i'm Rome.

Rome Correspondence London Echo.
No such inundatiOn of the Tiber has
taken place in this century as that
which we are witnessing this morning.
The incessant torrents of rain were
gradually swelling the river the last few
days, and yesterday the water had risen
as high as the Rotunda, which, how
ever, has been almost a yearly occur
renee, and people began to apprehend,
from the threatening appearance OF the
sky, that it would advance still further
toward the higher portion Of the city.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Piazza
del Popolo was completely flooded, and
the water pouring into the Corso down
the side streets. from the Ripetta. At
noon the Wa Condetti was flooded half
way up, and the people who stood in
crowds watching the progress OF the
water, were obliged to retreat back
every minute. Since that hour the flood
seems stationary, and, if the cessation
of rain (which bright morning pro
missed US is only lasting, we may hope
not to see the Piazza eli Spagna assume
the appearance of lake, as is already
the case with Piazza COlonna and Piazza
del Popolo. Boats are rowed in the
streets, carrying provisions and assist
ance to the inhabitants thus forcibly
shut up in their houses. Great destruc-
ton of the wine and oil stored up in
cellars has taken place, and the poor
shop-keepers have enough to do to re-
move their wares from the ground floor
to the higher rooms. In the country
around, great are the losses. Bodies of
oxen, sheep, pigs, dogs, etc, are coming
down the river, along with boards and
planks, and other portions Of the huts
folds of the Compagna, where the
herdsmen and shepherds have taken
refuge in the trees. Boats are going
backwards and forwards, bearing food
to the inhabitants of the farms on the
low ground, and bringing those into
Rome who have no refuge. The sol
diers and police are busy affording all
possible assistance to the sufferers from
this deluge 1t is reported that large
boat, with twelve men, which started W
the river this morning, with bread fol
the Osteria at Ponte Molle, has been
upset in the violent current, and all or
board drowned.
