WOLCoTTvILLE,

The ladies of Wolcottville propose to give entertainments in Wadhams' Hal, for the benefit of the Library Association, on the evenings of May Sd and 4th. The programme on the first evening begins with a pantomime representation of an old-fashioned tea party and dance by some of the "seniors," in appropriate costume, to be followed by Imaginable comedyaby Blackstone, Married Life" The charac- ters are to be personated, however, mostly by single ladies and gentlemen. The next evening will be filled up by 8 variety of carefully arranged 'tableaux, concluding with a farce. We bespeak for them the liberal patronage so worthy an object should receive.
 And here let us say word in favor of these and similar amateur performances. In the first place, they should be en- couraged on account of the good ends for which they are. usually gotten up, and, in the second, because they afford innocent amusement of a higher character than is provided by the itinerant showmen who carry off much loose cash, while they vitiate the taste. of our country people. Still further good may result by the pro- motion of social feeling and the develop ment of artistic taste iss -l-~i H. C

B@r The Indians of Indian Territory seem greatly averse to accepting any regu- lar Territorial form of government. They claim that they are not desirous of opening their lands to general settlement, and that any arrangement which will produce such a result is in contravention of treaties and of the rights they have already sacrificed much. to secure. The doctrine that an In dian has no rights white man is bound to respect, seems to prevail throughout the West, and seems often to control even Con gress. .i} ,....as -fer,a.. 'A-

AF The votes in the Fourth Ward were counted twice by two of the sharpest Radicals in the city, and by two Democrats s-and their counting was accepted by the Republican moderator of the ward meeting.

Marbledale has awoke from its winter's lethargy, and the people are rousing them selves to work that must be done. Now that election is past. all are attacked with the tobacco feger-it is epidemic and very malignant. Some have it very bad, and hire land at fifty dollars per acre, others have it milder. You cant t go to the store, evenings. without hearing questions some thing like this :!s How much tobacco shall you set this year, Ed?'d Then from to. .baecoo the conversation wayers to super 'phosphates, guano, and fertilizers in gene 'ral.

s6 We took trip under Democratic aaspices down the line of the Shepaug R. R. R..week Before last, and very pleasant trip it was. We clip the following from the Sen- fiaers account of the affair: 1
 "H vas noticed that upon the approach of the waiting party the hands left their work m evident alarm. Bome of them knew the Sheriff and others did not. This shyness made it very inconvenient to get near enough to anybody to obtain informa- ton. Finally the party hit upon happy expedi- enk. The editor of the ENQUIRER was sent ahead. His bland and benevolent countenance treasured the workmen, and in this way they were easily approached"
 The moral to be drawn from the above wonld seem to be this: Whenever, in these Ka Klux times. parties of Democrats go aboat the country on really unobiectionable errands. they should take along at least one Republican, to go ahead and re.assure atrangers. Whether it is quite safe for single Republicans to undertake to enRi nesr Democratic tea.parties, including such questionable material as the editor of the Ssntinel is quite another question. and enc regarding which, since the foregoing incident, we have had our doubts.

CRUEL CRUnL 1.-The Sentinel continues to devote column weekly to that all,sn- gressing. eyer-interesting topic, thesPro. bate Election in the District of Litchfelds That paper has charged the "deep damna. tien of his lthe present Judges] taking of" on divers and sundry of the good peo- pie of Litchfeld. At first it expressed a suspicion that H. B. Graves, Esq, was at the bottom of the matter; but we gather from the last Sentinel thatlthe Rev. H. B. Wing. late editor of the lEsounfRy is the real offender. His vicious ways infected the ENQUIRER office, we are told, which did thereupon feloniously print certain split tickets, 1" whereof the said Democratic can didate was feloniously wounded. and being so wounded did languish, and, at Warren aforesaid. at P. M., on the Sd instant, languishing did die.' MT. Wing seems also to be indirectly responsible for the fact that the Litchfeld Sentinel has been, ever since. one continuous and very eccen- trio obituary notice. and bids fair. to flight it out on that line if it takes all summer, which we think it will Now, we do not wish to "crowd the mourners" at this prolonged funeral, especially the chief mourner, whose grief seems to be sincere. But we venture to suggest that, sometime next fall. after the eyes of our friend of the Sentinel have ceased to be s'fiowing well, his various elegiac pieces be gathered into volume, after the manner of sIn Memoriam," which volume we are con vinced would sell readily throughout the District, especially in Warren.
