Hoofand's German Bitters
Hoofland's German Tonic

ls a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
tors, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum, Orange, etc. 1t
Is used for the same diseases as the Bittsrs, in
eases where some pure alcoholic stimulus is re-
Quired. You will bear in mind that these RENE
dies entirely different from any others adver-
tsed for the of the diseases named, these be-
ing scientific preparations of medicinal extracts,
while the OILERS arc mere deeoctions of rum IN
some form. The TONIC is decidedly of the
most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered
to tho public. Its taste is exquisite. 1t is
pleasure to take it. while its life giving, exhilara
ling and medicinal qualities have caused it to be
known as the greatest of all tOnies.

NEW PRESTON.

The New Preston stringed band dis. coursed exciting music to MT. Frank Browns "boarders" last Friday evening. It was quite pleasant little hop and was enjoyed by many of the village lads and and lassies as well as the boarders. All were hilarious. Even the violins squealed their jollity in bewitchingly enliYening strains, accompanied by the deeper, more resounding and softer tone of the vioIn- cello. Who could help dancing? No one, I fancy, and so they all danced and laughed, and then danced and laughed again. The old calisthenic Virginia Reel" was in all it's glory, likewise the Basket Cotillion. D Then. of course, s'Old Tip Coon" came in for share, and that most curious dance of all. "The Needles Eye" was danced with agility truly astonishing. It was simply a good time without the pohsesse of the city. About the noon of night the s'iddlers'' were dispersed with some of the sssubstan- tial." and the guests betook themselves home, including MYSELF.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

Sometime since, we made propositions for regular and occasional correspondence, which met with ready response, adding mach to the value of our paper, and laying us under personal obligation to the gentlemen rendering us such assistance: We are thereby encouraged to renew our propositions, hoping that the good example already set will be generally followed, and that the local news of all parts of the County will be fully reported in our paper.
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Litchfeld County, are as follows: ta
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic ertyG copies of the EN- oU1RER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us, or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending communications, of the number of copies desired, and to whom they are to be sent.
 2. Local items from reliable sources, in any part of the county, will be received with pleasure, but we are particularly de- sirous of increasing our list of regular correspondents. To each of these. or to such person as he or she may designate, we will send copy of our paper regularly m 8o0lG1On to the 04Grd Cop4Oo A0n'A0HOe above.
 2 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub lication is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having the contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signature, single let ter being sufficient
 In case of two communications relating to the axent the fullest will usually be published. Hence communlcatons Hever oo..-~-.---A..- from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional information.
 A simple statement of facts is all that is neces- sary. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

Flies caught-Duttons, 5; Empires, 6.
 Umpire-D. Kennedy.
 On Friday afternoon the Duttons played the Osceolas of Stratford, at Wolcottville. H. o. Deming being too much injured to play, Richards took his place as catcher, although still partially disabled by the in. jury to his shoulder which prevented his taking part in the Yale-Harvard match. Strong, though suffering considerably from his injury of Thursday, took his place as pitcher. The Osceolas went to the bat and the first three innings went against the Duttons on the remarkable figures of 22 to 2. This result was owing in large degree to the heavy and lucky batting of the Osceolas, but in part to the peculiarities of the ground and of the umpiring. The ground back of the home base was so rough t~hnr cnnld not allow balls to bound in the usual way with any ~--..;ntv of stopping them. The umpire commenced the game by calling balls on the pitcher with such severity that out of the first ten runs scored by the Osceolas, four were made by players who had taken the first base on called balls. Under such state of things swift pitching was decidedly at discount, and a change was made at the end of the third inning, Strong going to 2d base, Richards to 1st, Day to the catcher's and Chapman to the pitchers position. The righteousness of this change was proved by the result, for although the fielding of the Osceolas continued much sharper than that of the Duttons throughout, and their bat ting probably at least as good, the score of the last six innings stood 16 to II, in favor of the Duttons.
 The Duttons were fairly out-played by their adversaries. whose precision and swiftness in throwing to bases was very re- markable, and whose fielding and batting were excellent throughout. The stunning Osceola score of the first three innings so discouraged the Dnttons that though their play. was careful and creditabIe, yet it lacked the usual snap of the Litchfeld county champions. The score stood as fol.

There were fewer mum bers present at the succeeding game between the "Osceolas'' and ''Empires, ,''- the entrance fees amounting to ffty.seven dollars.

PLYMOUTH SKETCHES, No. 75.

Perhaps the most notable event of last week was the Irish picnic, held in Behea < grove, up the River, about half a mile north of Thomaston Post-Ofice. At about g o'clock A. M., procession of men, girls and boys, headed by the Thomaston Cornet Band, marched up the hill to the Center, where, at the ''head of the street," they waited an hour or more for the Terry vile Band and its followers to arrive. Then all descended the hill, with rich and varied music sounding, and with the s'stars and stripes" and other banners flying. Instead of ''The King of France," &c.
 The Thomaston Band, with girls, and boys Marched up Gold Castle hill" and then-marched
 down again. .tf
 Arriving at the grove, the two Bands par took of refreshments. and dispersed, leav- ing the pionioers to tako oare of .he,n solves. It IS said that an admittance fee was charg. ed for entering the grounds. A large mum Der were present, including some, I believe, from neighboring towns. There were ac- commodations for dancing, which were du. ly improved; there were also music and dancing in the evening, in American Hall. The proceeds must have amounted to quite handsome sum, which I understand is to be appropriated towards the erection ol the Romish church, already commenced near the Thomaston Depot.
 As one of our merchants, Frederick Bradley, with his wife and Miss Loise Hull, was on the way home from Compounce, the horse was startled at white COW coming out of the bushes, and jumping sideways threw MT. B., and the young lady, out of the wag- on, severely bruising the former, and spraining the latter's ancle. The horse commenced running, but Mrs. Bradley, with commendaable presence of mind, reached over and gathered up the reins, and in short time succeeded in stopping the frightened animal. The injured per sons are doing as we'll as can be expected.
