Wednesday afternoon, about five hundred

Wednesday afternoon, about five hundred persons from Holyoke, visited New Haven. They came to Westfield over the branch road from Holyoke, thence to New Haven by the Canal road. The Palladiu0, does not speak very highly of the reception given them by the city government.
 John Cotter of Derby was found dead at his residence, on Friday morning, by his wife. Mir. Cotter arose about o'clock to make fire his wife waited while for him to call her, but as he did not do so, she dressed hereself, and on going down found him dead at the bottom of the stairs. There was large gash on the back of his head, his face was badly bruised, and he was bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth. Foul play is suspected by some.
 The General Hospital society of New Haven was voted $2o, ,O0O two years ago by the legislature on condition that the same amount should be contributed from other sources. Of this latter sum the friends of the hospital have secured $l2,- POO. There are 70 patients now in the hospital, and more funds are greatly needed.

 reply, but will make you as comfortable as possible, and commenced at once to throw the coals upon the fire. The coun- tenauce of my young friend grew longer, and he looked the picture of dispair. Not of robust health, the prospect to him was not of Q cheering nature. He said in allow voice, we must accept the situation. l re- piled, ''rather bear the ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of." This language of the ancient bard made matters satisfactory. At midnight we were severely alone, the keeper had said his good night, and all creation was hushed in repose, the elements and ourselves only excepted. For the fiftieth time opened the door to look for the glimmer of the stars, but they re- fused to shine; and then fell back upon tho "time table" and committed it to mem- ory. My companion racked his brain for consolation and repeated forty of the choi- cest of Dr. Watts Psalms and Hymns, for our support under difficulties, It had the collection, much spiritual nourishment; But tongues cease to wag and ideas to flow, when human nature is hungry, tired and dispmited. At last we gave up to hard pine chairs and our individual reflections. We were startled at the flashing of light, and we peered out into the storm, to ascer- tain from whence it flashed. A lantern was seen but we could not discover its fbearer. We heard voice. it was soft and friendly, and stranger opened the door, and delivered a message of the following import. "Mr. Gilbert has room and bed provided for you short distance from this place, and prays your acceptance. We accepted instanter, and followed our guide

Columbia, California, South America, ln- diana, Illinois, New York, Michigan, Yer mont and Connecticut are represented by our passengers, besides quite sprinkling of Englishmen. Our young lady friend from your village is pronounced tue best female sailor ou board, except the stewardess, whose six years experience gives her higher place. The latter is treasure to the ladies. Games on deck, with promenading, are the amusements of the day when the wind is not too high, and other games in the evening. They burn only candles in the cabins and these afford too dim light to read or write by, hence we have 10 resort 10 trihing games or do nothing.
 To-day our letters are 10 be finished, for tomorrow we expect to leave them at Queenstown for America.

Falls Village, Nov. 2s, 1871.


 Mir. Editor Fl would like to correct a statement your Falls Village correspondent made in your last weeks paper, in regard to the late Patty Landon not being far enough from her door to look down into the village, or never seeing the cars. In the first place, I think the Housatonic railroad has not been built forty years, and even if it has, her residence was where she could stand in her yard, or door, and watch the cars for more than mile, before they arrived at our depot. In the next place, within the past lS years she has visited a daughter living in Stockport, Columbia Co.,, NY, by going on the cars there and back, and about l7 years ago she visited some of her friends in Canaan, which was the last time she ever came down the hill, as the indrmities of old age would not admit of her either walking or riding. As for her being an eccentric old lady, we never saw anything of the kind, but this we do know, she was person of strong mind, a kind and affectionate mother, firm friend, and and worthy christian.

A correspondent of the Lttchfeld En. gtiirer writes from
 Kent.
 Kent "still lives" But one might almost have thought that our valley had been filled, the mountains cast into the sea, and the inhabitants no more, as no notice has been taken of us for so long time. So I siege my pen to warn "both old and young," in the words of Webster, that i've still live" word to the wise is sufficient" don't be astonished when you bear the news. Kent, renowned for its old maids and widows and the scarcity of the other sex (therc being in the centre of the town the radius of one half mile, ooer ftSy old maids and widows to'balance the vast number of six bachelors, and Mis IS true statcment) has imported gentle man, smitten him, and is going to marry him to one of ;ts adopted daughters. This subject keeps the above mentioned fifty tongues in constant motion, each one hanging on privot and turning two ways at tue same time.

 The mite society held it's last meeting at the house of Russell Eaton, Esq.,, on We'd nesday evening. So far it was the hest of the season. The refreshments being su- perb, the tableaux vivants splendid, The characters of Spring and Summer in "The Seasons" was particularly noticeable as to their costume and positions and great credit is due to the leader for the perfect manner in which she costumed and arranged her subject.

The following correspondence was crowd ed out last week.
 Lime Rock.
 Rain, rain, go away; come again anoth- CT day, is the saying of all who have to foot it through thick and thin to business. To those who can boast Aoss and shay, the saying don't amount to much, but we who are not of the favored few, choose fair days. .....Our amiable landlord, Mr. H. W. Thorp, is doing fine business we should judge by the looks. I for one can recommend his table and all that's on it too, to the way worn traYeler while the genial face of mine host looks approvingly on to see that you do justice to the good things set thereon. Then surely we are proud of our schools (and teachers too. ) Our district under charge of Miss Fannie Dauchy is said to be the best conducted school in town. Mrs. D. came to us well recommended, and she has proved her abilities as an A, No. teacher. We hope success will attend her wherever she goes Mir. Hurlburt surely needs no recommend, only just goin and sec the classes ''tip-toe" and you will be assured that MT. H. is quiet man and thorough, exemplary instructor. Surely, Lime Rock may will be proud of such teachers as MT. Hurlburt and Mrs. Dauchy.......O yes. MT.

Norfolk.
 MR. EDIToR.-Our town for the past week has been unusually quiet. The new road to the depot will be finished in one day more, (Nov. 2Sth.) Already it has been used to considerable extent; some or 6 Car loads of coal and several car loads of grain, having been transported over it. The freight depot is receiving q coat of paint, and the passenger depot is being lathed, and promises to be ready for business ere long. A turnout has been so nearly completed as to be practically used from day to day......We notice the arriv al of many familiar faces, coming to the old home to spend Thanksgiving. coco. Ballasting the Conn. R. R. progresses slowly, but it is thought week more good weather will give sufficient time to complete it through Norfolk. This winter has been, for Nor folk, unprecedented in the way of mar riages; about 3 per week having been the average, and enough more on the docket to probably keep that average good up to about Aplil lst.

Canaan.
 Some cowardly sneak is endeavoring in Il pusilanamous manner, to b!acken the reputation of resident of this village, whose standing as man is such as to defy all the libelous machinations, and concoc- tions of the old evil one himself or any of his crew. The course pursued is to scatter upon the side walks and other conspicuous places, slips of paper upon which are writ ten articles of apolluted and ignominious character. The authors, as well as the cir cumstances connected with these articles, are unknown to us but he, she or they, must be foolish, crazy or contemptbly mean. Thief like they steal what gold cannot replace, and like towards, dare not show their face: A sneaking cur that sneaks along the track; awaits his time and then springs upon the back. STRANGER.
