A Hardshell Baptist minister, living some where on the frontier of Missouri, was in the habit of saying to his family and to his church: Friends, you need not take any unusual care of your lives; the moment of your death was writ before the foun- dation of the world, and you cannotalter it.
 His wife observed when he left on Satur- day to meet one of his frontier missionary engagements, that he dressed the flint of his rifle with unusual care, put in dry pow der, fresh tow, and took pains to make sure that the gun would go in case he came upon an Indian.
 It struck her one day as she saw him in the saddle, with his rifle on his shoulder, that his conduct contradicted his teachings, and she said to him:
 "My dear, why do you take this rife with you? If it was ''writ" before the foundation of the world that you were to be killed during this trip by an Indian, that rife won't prevent It; and if you are not to be killed, of course it is unnecessary; SO why take it with you at all2"
 "Yes," he replied, ''to be sure, my dear, of course you are right, and that is very proper view but, see here, my deer-now- really-but then-you see, my dear-to be sure-but then-suppose should meet an Indian while I am gone, and his time had come, and I hadn't my rife with me, what could he do9 Yes, my dear, we must all contribute our part toward the fulflment of the decrees of Providence"

 Our town authorities are waking up to the importance of repairing our roads. The road leading from the railroad arch to the Dudley House is just now receiving the attention it has SO long needed. Quite delegation from our vilag evisited the classic village of Wolcottville on Wednesday 3d, inst. in expectation of seeing the great trot, but on account of the incessant rain were disappointed. The trot however came off on the day following, and was pronounced first rate, there being but one draw back viz the high price of hitching posts and lack of suitable accommodation for so large concourse of people........The ground which has for so many years been used as a Camp meeting ground, has been purchased
 by few active and jealous Mcthodists, with view of making it permanent place for holding Camp meeting. The one just closed has been unusually free from any jar from outsiders. Every thing has moved tremendously along,' and although there were some present of rather doubtful nor. als, they had respect for the cause which brought together so large a concourse oi people. The victualing was let out to the North Canaan M. E. society, and superin tended by Mir. Roberts, one of the parties who leased the same privilege last year Your correspondent is not informed as tt amount cleared. 1.-The Red Star B.

Hanging Engineers.-The Litch1ield En Quirer of last week, is rather severe on the locomotive engineers of the country. Hear what it says in an article on Railroad slaughter"
 Destructive as the existing breed of railroad engineers is to human life, we doubt whether hanging is the best use they can be put to. Viewed as retributive justice, that species of punishment is manifestly inadequate"
 We have no idea that Bro. Hickox req lized the extent of this judgement There are many thousands of this class of mechan- ics in own country alone, and to express an opinion that hanging is inadequate, as punishment for them and to recommend the adoption of torture that would create in their minds greater dread than hanging, in order to secure from them greater dili- gence and caution in running their trans, and security to life and limb, is an asser- tion too broad to carry with it great in- 1uence There is no doubt but that occa- sionally an engineer, who is naturally of a reckless disposition, and who becomes more SO by constant association with danger, should be severely dealt with for the risks he will incur, but that every engineer in the land should have special punishment made and provided, for their exclusive bene- fit, and which is more severe, and more to be dreaded, than hanging, is what We | would call, rather tough on the poor fel- lows. We arc personally acquainted with several of these chaps, and most surely see no reason, why we would not as soon see l other people hung as them. It certainly l would be a desirable desideratuna, if the engineers, conductors, or whoever may be at fault, in these many and horrible acci- dents, could be managed so that nothing of the kind would ever occur, but so long as complaining public, who are constantly scolding because trains make such slow time. and in fact are hardly satisfied with "a mile minute" speed, and if caution is exercised on account of any irregularity ot other trains, necessitating delay of fifteen or twenty minutes, will scold, complain and fret because it takes so long to get any. where on some roads, &c., &c. So long, we say, as the patrons of railroads will continue to annoy the managers of trains in this manner, just so long will trains be ''telescoped." It is plainly evident that there is "a screw loose somewhere" and we think it is just here to find that individual screw A conductor who is constantly hearing these complaints, cannot other wise but be influenced by them, and will eventually take risks, which however haz ardous, would be app!auded by many, yet it they resulted in disaster would be con- demned, and the engineer shouldn't be hung but subjected to a more dreaded tor ture. Let first the travelling public see tc it that no complaint is made by them, wher delays or slow running, are necessary te insure due caution against accidents. ane then when trains arc ''telescoped, they car talk with better grace of the means ot pun ishment to be meted out to these. their haz ardous servants.

The Great Dublin Meeting-A Riot.

The Great Dublin meet1mg-A Riot.
 DUBLIN, Sept. 3.-The monster demon stration was held tonight. There was a vast procession, and 1OO,o people were present at the meeting in Phoenix Park to- night. Messrs, Smyth, Butt and Nolan spoke. Resolutions demanding the release of the Feuians were adopted. As the people were returning severel collisions took place. The police officers drew there slaves, and the people used sticks and stones. Gradually the mob dispersed. Many arrest were made. The riot began by the mob attacking the police. Fifty constables were injured dur iug the fight, and house on the corner of Queen street was demolished.
 DUBLIN, Sept. 4.-Only six policemen were badly injured in the riot yesterday. Eighteen were slightly hurt. Twenty nine rioters were arrested. Disorderly persons were in the street all night singing seditious songs. The police station is smeared with the blood of the wounded.

Falls Village.

Falls Village.
 Your correspondent W. P. in his article last week on "steel lined guns" says, they attained a range of seven and three fourths miles, and he also conveys the idea that it was MT. Ames' plan of coreing a gun, and the manner of doing so. if you will allow me, will in friendly spirit, correct the above errors, as presume w. P. has been misinformed. Mir. Ames unfortunately was not mechanic, but had to rely solely upon his workmen, of whom he endeav- ored to procure the best. His success in business for so many years. was mainly due to such men as the late Zerah Colburp for agent; the late H. B. Thomas, master mechanic and superintendent the Arnold brothers; Burgett; Woodwork; Rogers French; Olin and host of others for puddlers heaters and forgers. Major Laid ley of the U. s. Army first suggested the idea Of coreing one of these guns, as a means of covering the imperfections natur al in Salisbury iron. It was also recon mcnded by Gen. Dyer chief of ordnance; but the credit of fitting the core and guns, planning the furnace and manner of put ting them in, belongs to Henry B. Thomas. The longest range attained by the Ames gun was got in Bridgeport, from the first trial gun in 1864. At an elevation of 34 degrees, with 25 lbs of powder and 12O lb Hotchkiss shot, with an initial velocity of over l4sO feet per second, gave flight of 39 seconds, and measured $500 yards, a fraction less than five and half miles. Another shot fired with 30 lbs of powder, gave 43 seconds flight, but as some of the instruments failed to record the shot, it was not measured; the same initial velocity would give something over6 miles. Ihope w. P. will accept the correction kindly. ......Our worthy citizens and deputy sheriff, F. M. Olin, has accepted call in the es- tablishment of the "Washburn Steel wheel Co.," of Worcester Mass. Frank is skill full iron worker and genial shopmate. Success to him. Perhaps the rogues about here anticipate 'high, old time during his absence, but let me say to them, as the potter said to his clay, "beware. Mr. Rogers, another old ''ironsides" has accepted position in large iron estab- lishment in Buffalo. MT. Rogers has hardly his equal in working steel and iron. .Anoth- CT accident occurred up at the iron works, one day last week. MT. George Savage while engaged ;n taking down some heavy shafting fell, together with the shaft and pullcys, distance of 20 feet into wheel, pit beneath, bruising him in horrid man. ner.......Let me call the attention of those of your readers who chance to come this way, to the neat and tasty arrangement of Spur & Halls lumber yard. It really is a cred, to themselves and an ornament to the vii. lage. I guess neighbor Spur will owe me one now. CLARIo.

West Cornwall.

Our Sunday school convention passed off very nicely with the exception of its being a very unpleasant day for it. Showers coming up very often and destroying the comfort of those who happened to be out. But notwithstanding the extreme unpleas- antness of the day, our hall was we'll filled, and our new depot with it's tables wei! pat ronized by people from the neighboring towns. We were disappointed in not sec ing the face of our editor down here, but presume he was very busy aud could not come, for we kaoD that it was not the rain that kept him away. He is not one of that kind. Lakeville were very plucky and got out it's four horse team with large load, and came down through the rain and mud in style that showed not only that they were plucky, but that they felt deep interest in the cause. There were many incidents connected with the occasion that would make very interesting chapter, but time and space will not admit of doing it here. I hope some one will find time to give you good description of it.......Therc has been before the court in this place during the past week a case of incendiarism. A young girl was tried for setting on fire milk house. belonging to A. N. Dibblc, and was bound over to appear before the superior court. Before the same court also appeared case of drunkenness, and disorderly conduct. A young man was arrested and tried for being drunk and
 creating disturbance. He was fined $5, ,o0
 and costs. Farmers are getting in their
 tobacco crop, which appears to be very
 good on the average. MORE ANON.
