To THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER :

To THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER:
 I observe in recent edition of your paper 8 communication from Mir. T. L. Hart of North Cornwall, intended to stir up the members of the old Litchfeld County Musical Society on the subject of a reunion; also calling upon Hon. Robbins Battell, with whom was left 8 sort of dis cretionary power on the subject, to take such measures at once as would lead to the de sired gathering some time the coming sea- son. I for one most cordially respond to the suggestion, and desire through the columns of your paper to urge others so disposed to do likewise. Within the past two or three years have met in ordinary business intercourse. many of the old Litchaeld County Musical Guard, and they have invariably coincided with me in the desirabiity of an early reunion. We all remember with pleasure the social charms of the annual gathering as we'll as it's advantages in 8 musical point of view, and while we think of the many shining
 
 lights and leading characters in the asso- citation whom death has snatehed from our sight in the lapse of, time, we would like to look again in the faces of those who still remain and might assist in starting anew similar association for the benefit of the present generation whose opportu- mites for progress and for g higher stand ard of musical attainment are SO much su- perior to our own in the, past. I. do not think there will be any disagreement as to the place for the reunionas Litehfeld, ,and the old, Congregational church there. are associated with almost every anniversary in the olden time; and without anyformal preliminary meeting all would acquiesce also in Mr Battells selection of 2 suitable time, which in g community mainly agri- cultural would probably accommodate the largest number, if fixed as soon as practi7 cable after having. zag9z ii aasn9ts3s ssi ;, -ss. tzs.:4a w.

On Monday last the Winsted and Mil lerton train on the Conn. Western railroad commenced leaving Millerton on it's re- turn trip at 10:40 A. M., instead of at P. M., as before. It now leaves immediately after the arrival of the train on the Har- lem railroad from the North, so that pas sengers leaving Albany at 6a A. M. can reach Winsted in season for the train on the Naugatuck railroad leaving Winsted at 1:5O P. NJ. The up trains on the Naug- atuck railroad do, not as yet make con nection at Winsted with the Conn. West ern railroad so as to accommodates western travel, and the managers of the road seem ayerse to doing so.s The mixed train reacking Winsted at 124 P. M. could as well as not arrive there half hour earlier and connect with the Conn. Western train making connection at Millerton, by which passengers arrive at Albany at 4:50 P. II.
 If the public are to suffer this way by the .contemptuous conduct of railroad man. agers, the legislature must provide rem edv. tf 4z24s+ s.ss5 .s sss

Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N Y., sole
 proprietor of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
 has for over three years offered, through nearly every newspaper in the United States, standing reward of $500 for case of Oatarrh in the head which he can not cure. That he has treated thousands of cases and had no claims presented for the reward from any one who has made a thorough use of his means of cure, is strong and conclusive evidence that he possesses sure means of curing this loathsome dis ease. The Catarrh Remedy is sold by all Druggists. 667

The Wild Geese do not regard Dr. Ayers wisdom in migrating north-such immense numbers of them as are flying over us now, while his almanac says !: ''Bleak and clustering about this time, with heavy snow. CeolGr Rapids 1d.) ) Times, March 3. 5 5a4 .,
 We were too fast last week in our item on the conflict between Dr. Aver and the wild geese. The Doctors science beat their instinct this time. Not for years have we had such snow storm as that of last Sunday. The snow lies three feet deep on a level in Minnesota and two feet in Wisconsin, while the storm has swept from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains. Snow fell to various depths as far south as Denver, Fort Union and Santa Fe
 Learned as we believed Dr. Aver in the arcana of Nature, and wonderful as we knew his medicines to be, we were not prepared for so signal an instance of his superiority, not over the wise men, but the wisest of animals whose instinct is considered unfai1ing. We drive up the peg, more firmly than evey, over our hearth for Ayers American Almanac Cedar Rapads Times, Mnrch 10. --

Editorial Notices are so common that 1t is almost impossible for an editor to e1- press his honest opinion of the merits of any article without being suspected of in- terested motives. This fact, however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of new addition to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently directed. We refer to Dr. J. Walkers California Vinegar Bitters, 8 remedy which is making it's way into more families just now than all the other ad- vertised medicines put together. There seems to be no question about the poten- cy of its tonic and alternative properties, while it possesses the great negative recom- mendation of containing neither alcohol or mineral poison. That it is a specific for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are as- sured on good authority that as gener- al invigorant, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients, Obtained from the wilds of California; are new to the medi- cal world and it's extraordinary effects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is compound of agents hitherto unknown. If popularity is any criterion, their can be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitters, for the sale of the article is im- mense and continually increasing. Ex..

The Long Stroke.

The latest Northern papers Lring US the
particulars of the great college regatta that
has been the one thought OF those interested
in aquatic sports in New England for some
time past. The colleges represented were
Harvard, Yale, Amherst and Brown. The
race was won by Amherst by twenty-seven
seconds, Harvard being second. The race
is noticeable for giving the American crews
another illustration OF the advantage OF the
long and steady English stroke. When the
Harvards went over to England, they found
too late that their short, quick stroke was
sure to be beaten by slower and longer one
in straight race Profting by this, they
dropped their stroke to about thirty eight or
forty, and in this race never went above
forty-two; while Yale, which pulled the
quickest stroke of all, came in last. 1t is
conceded that bad steering alone was the
cause of the defeat OF the Harvard crew,
otherwise their stroke would have brought
them in the victor.

That Blue Ridge Case.

1t is commonly believed in Columbia that
the original plaintiff in the petition for the
appointment Of receiver OF the Blue Ridge
Railroad had no higher motive than to force
the controllers OF the road to pay disputed
claim which he holds. However this may
be, it is conceded that the action OF Major
Corbin, in making the City OF Charleston o
party to the cause, has upset the little game,
and puts it out of the power OF any one per-
son to drop the case. This will come up
again next week, when it will be pushed
vigorously forward. Is it not strange that
30 much argument and entreaty, on the part
of The NEWS, should have been necessary
before the City Council would consent "to
'smake an effort" to save something OF the
municipal million out of the fire? All the
Dombeys are not yet defunct.
