The bonnet with the red ribbons fell back, and while the wearer was pulling it on her head, she placed her band-box, unfortunatelv m a chair behind the fashionable lady, who not see- ing it Bat down heavily upon it. Then came snch shriek from the poor German.

Her indignation at this catastrophe exceeded all bounds She turned upon the lady who shrunk from her touch, till the conductor interfered and in the midst of general melee they all found the door. and disappeared from sight The word ill., tended to be represented was band boE, but it will

GEN. BUTLER. The lively member from the Essex District has walked up at least two swrong passengers" Gen. Hawley follows up every additional lie with an ad- ditional and complete exposure. and "War- rington" is ''bottling him up" in the Bos- ton Journal Promising that. ''it sounds like paradox. but it is fact, that the most peaceable time of his Butler'sl life was while he was in the military service. !" Warrington proceeds:
 His whole life reminds one forcibly of Brownell's song of the Old Cove in the Dismal Swamp:
 "And at everybody as passed that road,
 A stick or stone this Old Cove throwed,
 And venever he flung his stick or his stone,
 He'd set up song of Let me alone.
 Let me alone, for loves to shy
 These bits of things at the passsers by.
 I'm quiet Old Cove says he, with groan,
 All axes is-Let me alone.'
 And now in this fall of 1871, as Brownell proceeds to tell the story, another Old Cove (let us suppose his name to be Joe Hawley) comes along and says:
 sLet you alonel That's comin' it strong! You've ben let alone darned sight too long Of all the sarce that ever heard
 Put down that sticki (yeu may well look skeered) You must have lesson to stop your tricks, And cure you of shying them stones and sticks; Whereupon-so the story goes-the quarrelsome Old Cove ttsot quite still" and then
 He looked ct his stick, revolvin' slow,

N ationaI Loans.

The success of the five per cent. loan abroad enables Mir. Boutwell, to take an important forward step towards funding our National debt at a lower rate of in. terest. The interest burden of $150 at 4 per cent, of $120 at per cent, and of $10O at 6 per cent is precisely the same. Hence, sales of six per cents at par, of five per cents at S3, and of four per cents at e, would be about equally advantageous, so far as interest merely is concerned. But when we come to pay the principal the re- suit is entirely different. The promise to pay $150. principal, at the end of ten years, with four per cent. interest, for $l0O, cash down, would be 2 very poor arrangsmsspptt. ment of the principal of their public debt, low interest would not compensate for the heavy discounts to which European gov. ernmants have often to submit on their low interest bonds. Nevertheless @ moderate discount and low interest on bonds which would have 20 or 30 years to run, might be for our advantage. Still, the system is a dangerous one. tending to fix an unneces. sarily heavy mortgage on posterity.
 The Secretary of the Treasury gives no. tice that he will pay $lO0. .0OO, 900 of the outstanding six per cent. bonds in Decem- Der; and it would seem that further issue of five per cents might be good economy. The only reasonable objection to such 6 plan is the state of the currency. Gold has risen above l13, and our bonds will never sell for their true valne till specie payments are resumed. Can nothing be done to bring about such resumption?

His father lately received from him two letters, both mailed at Hong Kong, one on the 22d of June, the other on the 18th of July; the former coming through London, the latter by way of San Francis co; both reaching their destination by the same mail, on the 21st of August. Thus these two letters, starting from one point, and stretching out their arms as it were in in different directions, encompassed the world; the fingers ends, so to speak, touch ing each other at the Plymouth Center Post Office. Such circumstance will scarce. ly occur more than once in lifetime.

DURING the fever epidemic of last month, the stock of Ayers Ague Cure in the Old North State became exhausted, and before a supply could be received from Lowell. the suffering from chills and fever became fearful. A few parties were so fortunate as to have it on hand, and in Iredell County. the druggists eked out their slender stocks by selling doses-a spoonful each-for dollar. Many paid ten dollars for bottle, when the regular price is but one, and thought themselves favored at that. so val. uahle are the curative, properties of this preparation, which not only expels the poi son from the system, but leaves the patient with unimpaired health and vigor.

George Murphy and Esther Hurlburt were married in church on Sabbath morn- ing, before the commencement of service. by the Rev. W. s. Cotton. Tie ceremony attracted attention, as a marriage is 8 rare thing in Old Judea.

Scandal.

The arrest of one of the first citizens of New Preston, teacher of its academy, 6 leading church member, and man who has hitherto borne an irreproachable repu. tation. on charge of seducing girl of thir. teen takes all decent men by surprise. As Q general thing the public is slow to credit charges of gross crime against respectable men. The great moral advance society has made within generation or two is best evidenced by the slow credence now given to charges of Q grossly criminal nature. This change in social feeling appears also in the jury box, where the strictness of proof required for the conviction of crime has most noticeably increased within half Q century or less. The time was when men were sent to the gallows on evidence which would not in our day suffice for recovery in an action for petty trespass. The rea- son of this change is undoubtedly owing to more elevated moral tone in community. Men feel 50 little temptation to the breach of the greater commandments, and to the commission of crime. that they are slow to impute vicious intent to others.
 To this general rule there is one most marked and deplorable exception. The purest reputation ayails comparatively little against charges of unchastity. A great many men and some women always treat the mere charge as equivalent to con- viction. Good character only increases the greediness with which the scandalous s'dis. closure" is swallowed. This state of facts indicates either very low stage of public morals in that important particular, or the consciousness of great individual weakness on the part of a multitude of nasty believ- CTS. Doubtless responsibility, or rather male responsibility, is good deal weak in this regard; but little scrutiny into the reputations of such as make too much haste to believe evil of their neighbors. generally discloses that which ought to dispose them to greater charity.
 The trial of the New Preston case com. mences to day "Wednesday we understand, and comment is reserved till the evidence is in. We shall believe the horrible story when proved beyond reasonable doubt, and not before; and that is very queer community in which, till proved guilty. a life practice of morality will avail a man nothing.

TO CoRREsPoNDnNTs.

Sometime since, we made propositions for regular and occasional correspondence, which met with ready response, adding much 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 Ltchfeld County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic eStra copies of the EN- QUIRER 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 Gith 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 a copy of our paper regularly in addition to the extra copies mentioned above.
 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, a single let ter being sufficient.
 In case of two communications relating to the same event. the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss, even 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.

SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION.

SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION.
 A Convention of the schools in the nine towns in the Northwest part of the County was held at West Cornwall, last week. Re- ports were received from 2l schools, and they appear to be in 8 prosperous condi- ton. Interesting remarks were made by D. l.. Pierce, Esq, on the subject of s. s. and amusements, followed by nine other speakers. Dr. Knight gave us his sentiments on the topic, Teachers meetings. the citadel that must be gained, !" and many others spoke on the same subject. Nearly all the schools reported have teach- ers' meetings. The remarks of Dr. Ed ridge on child religion were deeply interest ing, and were followed by Mir. Eddy and others. Mr. Powell and others spoke of the necessity of proper public sentiment. Mir. Searles of New Haven, State Secretary, gave illustrations of the uses of black boards, and he was listened to with atten- ton. Loug tables were set in the new, splendid depot of the Housatonic R. R., for dinner and supper, arranged by the la dies of West and North Cornwall. and there was an abundant supply for all. Resolutions of thanks to the citizens for their hospitality, and to MT.

Last Friday P. M., dead man was found beside the road leading from the village to Hotchkissville.

An empty phial, in which he purchased an ounce of laudanum early in the day, were found near him. The facts elicited during the investigation plainly indicated that it was case of self.destruction.
 Arrangements for the dedication of our soldiers monument, and the reunion of the 2nd Conn. H.
