On Wednesday ofs1ast week, . brake man named William Lyons. belonging in Sheffield, was killed by the freight cars just opposite the freight depot He was in the act of uncoupling, the train from the locomotive which was moving at 8 slow rate of speed, when he slipped, as is sup posed, and fell directly across the track. Six loaded cars passsd over his body com pletely cutting it in two A coronersi jury was summoned, which, after hearing the evidence, rendered verdict of accidental death. This is the third fatal accident which has happened on the railroad in our village since the cars commenced run ming.
 Evidences of enterprise begin to ap- pear. Mir. Fred. Bushnell has divided his land into building lots which are sold at such low rates as will enable the labor ing man to secure for himself and family home. Already three of these lots have been disposed of, and on one of them a snug. little cottage is in process, of erec- tion, which will be occupied by Mir. John Cummings, miner in the Davis Ore Bed. Other buildings will undoubtedly be soon erected, which will add much towards inn proving this portion of our village. E. e-
 The warfare against theliquor dealers has commenced in earnest. Three of these Dispensaries have recently been closed in Chapinsville and two in this yil- lage by the strong arm of the law Our people are determined to put a stop to this traffic and for this purpose have sub- scribed liberally.

., The people of Morris are awake! Ever since the shrill whistle of the Engine on the Shepaug railroad has reached over these hills and valleys of ours, the people have seemed to realizamore than former ly the necessity of action, and the result has been the carrying out of the plan men, tioned in your last paper, viz: the raising of $1 900 by Mir. Burgess for the support of preaching the coming year; the peo- pie are not only awake to the fact that we need preaching another year, but have al- so been awake, not only here, but in the neighboring towns, to the wants of our late pastor, the Rev. D. D. T. McLaugh- lin. .e-.. ..-.
 ' The undersigned tenders his grateful acknowledgements to friends in Morris, Litchfeld, Watertown and Bethlehem the representatives of different denomina- tions -who joined in the demonstration at the parsonage on the evening of the 23d inst. Coming with words of cheer and deeds of love, and crowning the many kindnesses of the past with this parting testimonial of an esteem and love which have ever showed themselves by works ''and the last more than the first" He has received in cash nearly $l44; and ir various articles equally servieeable to him, what would swell this generous gift tc about $200. More than $50 of this sum is from friends in Litchfeld He receives this as an expression of confidence and sympathy, and token of love to him as a minister of Christ: San odor of sweet smell, a sacifce acceptable, we'll pleasing to God" He offers in their behalf his heartfelt prayer in the words of the apos- tie, My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ," t+-.-stse, l... ,.e .s..

The Housatonic R. R. Go. are making extensive improvements in the vicinity of the depot at this place. They are extend ing switch track on the west side of the main track double its present length, re- moving the old engine house, and build ing new and improved tank, which will be so constructed that the engines can take water on either track. West of this they are widening the embankment and will build new engine house there, with a turn-table' in front of it.

PoMPADouR.

The article on Pompadour, on our first page, is very instructive if not altogether edifying reading. It shows the. terrible corruption that proceeded the great Rev olution in France, and it shows how com pletely that corruption had perverted fe- male character from its natural purity. Madame Pompadour is, perhaps, the best sample of the ultimate type. of woman hood produced by the false theory that woman is designed mainly to minister to the pleasure of man. That theory once had undispnted sway, and even now it is the controlling idea of most men in their views of the relation of the sexes. The inevitable tendency of this idea is to low CT woman to such a degree of dependence that she must please man virtuously, of course, if possible. but viciously, rather than not please him at all. Fortunately for us, the freedom and equality resulting from our institutions has rendered the Pompadour, and her like, an object of ab- horence amongus Nevertheless, the Par isian woman of today is not so very diff ferent from the Parisian woman of a little morethan acentury since; and the Parisian, Pompadour idea of, woman still controls America to a. very great and disgracefnl extent. For. on what other idea is the ex- traordinary attention given by American women to dress, accomplishments, and all the extfavagant and elaborate modes Iof personal adornment, founded 1? es e'is
 No unprsindiced, discerning person can read history without seeing that wo- mans corruptiona is always proportioned to her condition of dependence, and to the prevalence of the Pompadour idea that woman is chiefly designed for the pleas
 nre of man. One of the first results of the despotic power of man invariably
 shows itself in the corruption of woman.

 Lower Empire of the last Napoleon: the

Last weeks Sentinel has carefully considered article on. "Pie, suggested mo doubt, by a recent occurrence in this vil- lage. '' .... .t .., .r.,- s...s
 b About fortnight since young man excited considerable remark in the Man sion House billiard room, early one even ing, by an excited demeanor, entirely diff ferent from his usual rather subdued manner It is now known that late that afternoon he had procured an entire pie of enc of our druggists. This he partook of freely at intervals: Soon after his en- trance into the billiard room he provoked an angry scufie with co1ored friend, of whose feelings he is ordinarily very con- siderate. At about 9:30 P. M., after help ing himself to more pie, he began singing very loudly, although by no means B mslodious person, and friends thought they recognized tune played at Cattle Fair, g year or two since, by the Cornwall brass band. He then took his last piece of pie, and began dancing what the by islanders decided, after some hesitation, to be a Polka Redowa- Maz1rka- -Schot- tische, a very difficult and uncommon va riety of round dance, which heyoung gen. tleman would not have ordinarily attempt ed. By II o'clock he became very violent and tfied to kick over billiard table. Specta- tors and theskeeper of the room now re- tired to the piazza Solitude seemed to have good effect and the sufferer spent q quiet hour trying to extract the glass stopper of decanter with pocket cork screw. The proprietorof the room soon after locked his doors on the outside, and retired for the night. In the morning he found the young man sitting fast asleep in the coal.scuttle. ' S.-"..- ...

 A very sensible speech was made by Mir. Trumbull in the Senate, Friday, on the condition of our revenue. He says that the customs revenue for the coming year is expected to be two hundred and twen- ty-fve millions, larger amount than has ever been raised before. Such being the case he considers a reduction of the tariff an imperative necessity. He also objects strongly to allowing one hundred millions in coin to lie unproductive in the treasu- y. He thinksit would have saved the country over twenty millions to have used that money for return Ito specie pay ments, and in payment of outstanding debts. ft..7 A...s.- r+r. t.sft.,.- .---.-
 There seem to be serious objections arising in many States to the Grand Jury system. Lawyers are ofcourse aware that in Connecticut our system of prosecution for all but the highest offences, is differ ent from that, of the common law or of most of our sister states. The law in those States requires presentment by a grand jury before any one can be put on his trial even for minor offences. Here the grand juror can present for all offen- ces where the punishment is not death or imprisonment for life. This greatly sim plifies our criminal practice and seldom works injustice to the accused. Califor- mia, Nevada, Ohio and other States, are trying to amend or abolish their cumber- some Grand Jury system. 5t43' E.sa .4r-5.

 On the evening of Friday last (Jan. 26) a party consisting of forty or more indi- viduals, principally inhabitants of the village of Litchfeld and vicinity, and very evidently aided and abetted by other of your conspicuous and influential citizens. madea sudden and su,Yrising incursion upon my premises, and no resistance be- ing offered effected a speedy entrance in- to my house. Once within, as a great many people think they can safely do, when away from home, they did just as they pleased. Among the things so done was the presentation to me of roll of greenbacks to the amount of $58.5O which was not hard to take, Also of a barrel of -four which experience has proved to be useful in family And, besides these, of other articles-the whole amounting we think to the aggregate value of eighty dol lars. ;.
