 Czario.-From our valued correspondent 'Clario," we have very interesting article, which on account of it's length, we are obliged to omit till next week. It will be read with much interest.
 | JoiceoilIe.-Is full of city boarders, and among them is an oculist. who can make glass eyes that will look througha grindstone. Dig out your eyes, and he will put in pair that will need no eye water to keep them in running order.
 Neao Organ.-The Presbiterian church in Amenia is to have new organ, and they propose to celebrate over the event, with concert to be given sometime in the early part of next month. Pshaw, that's noth- ing: We had new organs in both our churches here. several years ago.
 Stscky.-Such sultry, sticky day as last Wednesday, is scarcely endurable. The temperature and paper collars, were very affectionate. The former said swilt thou" and the latter wilted. Our devil says, that the only way to be comfortable such weather, is to take off your flesh and sit in your bones.
 Reaoard.-Mr. Edwin Richardson of New York now stopping for a few days with his brother Mir. F. Richardson, of this village. offers reward of l5 dollars for the arrest and conviction of the person or per sons who broke the street lamp in front of the Post office in this village last Sunday night. This reward is in addition to the reward of 10 dollars, offered by the street lamp committee. There appears to be a disposition among our citizens, to ferret out these mischievious scamps, and should they be caught, will probably be dealt with, as their conduct deserves.
 Conn. Weste7n.-The rails on the Conn. Western, are now laid to 8 considerable distance beyond the Whiting river ''ill" toward Norfolk. A slight change in the programme of the work of the 'Western end" construction train, sends them on to track laying, instead of returning to ballast between Canaan and Millerton. They now expect to continue laying the rails, till they meet the gang of men, with construction train, working from Winsted toward Nor folk. We understand that there are only | about two or three miles of rails laid west | from Winsted, on account of having no l iron.
 Clothes LSnes.-Who has not experienced more or less annoyance, at their clothes lines breaking and letting their clean linen into the dirt? and not only that, but what a bother it is to be obliged to stop every Mon day morning, when you are in never SO much of a hurry, at the call of the servant girl, to "put up the clothes line." All this vexation of spirit may be prevented by using metallic line; aud when we are about it, we might as well get the best there is made. J. c. Sherwood of West Corn wall is sole agent for Litchield county, for 1 the patent white wire clothes line, which is guaranteed, or no sale, against rusting, cor roding or wearing the clothes, and is SO constructed that clothes will not freeze to it.
