All join in saying that ii is the best
paper ever printed in Southwestern
! Kansas. When the mail arrives at our
quiet little city old men inquire for the
EAGLE. young men ask the loan of a
! copy, and when your correspondent
| returns from the postotlice Mrs. Si.as
always says, ''ilavc YOU the EAGLE -
Its recipes are so valuable. Some
more of our citizens say they are 60
ing TO have the EAGLE if they have to
sell corn for ten cents a buShcl To get
the skads to pay the subscription. Go
ahead. Colonel, and make the bird a
farmers paper, and success will be
yours.

shape and confine the water in them till they are through with it, and not nearly SO many are needed to do as much, and more, work. A little exercise of the mind over this matter of wheel, and fine illustra. tion is given of the power of mind over matter, to say nothing of the advantage to the world of having created an immense improvement Tn the availability of wheels turned by water to do the work of the hands. We had occasion recently to speak of a new wheel invented by MT. Crowell, of Lime Rock. When one of his wheels are put to practical test, we should be glad to see the amount of power his mind has had over the matter of his wheel. Trot out your wheel MT. Crowell, and get it in working order. If it is good for anything, we'll tell people so, but if you have failed, (and we think there is not much danger of that,) well-well. in that case, we'll not say much of any thing about it.

THE CAPTURED PIRATE AT NEwPoRT.-In
 the midst of the political excitement, the capture of the doughty Pirate of the Gulf" in the raging swell off Point Judith comes as refreshing diversion. The facility with which the rakish craft was overhauled and secured by our gallant marines does not speak we'll for the courage of the pri- vateersmen, and yet they are very natural ly exciting general interest among the fash ionables at Newport, ard that city is all agog over this unusual attraction. That it happened, too, just at the height of the season is blessed thing. The bellies and beaux can now vary the monotony of the seaside rides and walks by going to the docks and examining critically the low black hull of tue captive, with her sharp bow and jaunty topmasts from which the
 flag of the unrecognized Republic sauciy waves. On the gun decks moodily stalk the officers, muttering strange oaths froh beneath their curling moustachois. They grasp their gold mounted stillettos and brandish their diamond-hilted rapiers, as they sullenly eye the neighboring revenue cutter and catch the fresh breeze from the balmy shores of their much loved isle. Be- low, the crew drown their sorrow in cups of foaming wine, and carol forth wild Gu ban melodies in defiance. Long Branch and Saratoga must pale their intellectual fires. Only Newport can advertise bevy of Simon-pure privateersmen. Boston Post.

 That article in your last issue, entitled, "Pen Picture of New England Village, strikes us Kent people with the same idea it did yourself, and the initials attached to it being those of young lady that did stop at the house opposite the largest store, and therefore with her own eyes saw, and being personally acquainted with, the hab- it's of the people she has so exactly pictured, it is not at all hard to guess that It is meant for Kent. We hope to hear from l.. G. again, and if she will continue her picture we hope she will keep the bright side out for Kent, as for long time it has needed some one to speak in it's praise. ..... The usual quiet of our village was somewhat stirred last week by lawsuit; being a complaint for disturbing the peace by using profane language while driving along the highway. The defense proved that it was another person. Chief Justice Beach pre- sided with rather more than usual dignity, and the promptness with which he rendered judgement, won for him new laurels. Truly it was one-sided case, and how our grand juror could sign the complaint on SO slim evidence. we cannot see. The wealth CT continues about s5e in the shade, but with the refreshing showers we have heard no complaints. XzYMENUs.

The Breezy Hills of Litchffe1d
 County

Among other advantages which have been secured to Hartford by the opening of the Connecticut Western railroad is the easy access which it presents to our citizens to escape by an hours ride from the fur mace heat of the city to the cool breezes of the hills in Litchfeld county. It is very handy, now, to take run out to Norfolk, Canaan, or Salisbury and on those pie turesque hills one finds coolness and re- freshment to the overloaded and weried body. At Norfolk there are very lovely views, and some of the finest hill scenery in northwestern Connecticut. It has pie tusesque hills 1,6OO feet above tide water. In the morning and in the latter afternoon, the view, looking westward through the wales and gorges between the hills, is par ticularly effective; and there is almost al- ways cool breeze.
 At Norfolk many Hartford people are al. ready domiciled. Among them are Jona- than B. Bunce; Rev. Dr. Childs and fam ily; Rev. Dr. Riddle; Phineas s. Riley, Cashier City Bank, and family; Dr. Hud. son, of High street, and family; Chas. B. Richards and family; Rev. Dr. Gage and family, of the Pearl Street Church N. B.

ROLLING sToCI
Connecticut Railroads,

Concerning railroads in this state the Unders0rater says:
 The railways of the busy and prosperous State of Connecticut are we'll built, well stocked and we'll managed: Under such circumstances they cannot fail to be prosperous. The figures contained in the paragraph below must be as satisfactory to the bondholders and stockholders as they are to travellers.
 There have been opened in Connecticut during the last year 157 miles of road, making BOW in operation 881 miles of road, l2O of which is with double track, with a paid-up capital of $3l, ,OOO, 900 and a fund.- ed and floating debt of 19,OOO, 900. These roads earned 10, 600, ,OoO, and carried 9,50O,- 900 passengers, not one of whom was killed and but three were injured.
 It is probable that one of the safest places in the world in which a person may spend his time is in the inside of a railroad car in Connecticut. It is certain that persons at home in their own peaceful dwellings have not been so free from fatal accidents. Life insurance companies would do we'll to mitigate their rates in favor of those who travel by rail Gin the land of steady hab- it's"
