 MT. Editor.-Since my last writing, ,noth- ing new or strange has taken place with us here. Men who are interested greatly in the political affairs of the day seem stirring about, otherwise all is quiet. The roads are so bad and mud so deep that it is almost out ofithe question to get out with teams, and our sidewalks in the village are in such miserable condition, that pedestrians arc really in danger, and it needs no little cour- age to make the trip from the lower part of the village to the post-ofice. l am sorry that our good people take so little pride or interest in this matter. It is not that they are poor and cannot offord better, as there are men of wealth and generosity, and now let the right man take hold of this matter. The money would be forthcoming and this much needed improvement made. Who ts
 the mans......On Monday April lst the great political battle will be fought and provided I am not one of the slain will give you the resulHin this town.......April 2d: lis over and victory won for some body. "The colored troops fought nobly." The vote stood as follows, Democratic state ticket, 3O9. Republican, l4s. Demo cratic representatives, 3l7; Republican representatives, l4s. The day was bad and many were mot able to get to the polls. We have on our voting list, 6l2 names, and there was only 457 votes cast. The cleo tion passed off with us very quietly, and although the ''gin mills, were in full blast the article dispensed was so reduced that very few men were of sufficient capacity to hold enough to make the drunk come.

 or at least perhaps it is hoped to be be- yond our power ats description, by those who took part in it. Moore Jewell led off with sort of wild rolicking song, followed
 by Tom Nortos, whose melodeous voice penetrated every crcvicc of those trouble some rocks, and which NO doubt contribu- ted not little 10 their hasty decision to ''bc getting out of that even if they could tumble in no better place, than before a locomotive, tearing along at the hazardous speed of ia hundred miles in hundred consecutive hours" Their song sounded something like, ''The year of jubilo', and "wellget sober in the morning" Conductor Hinsdale eyed them very closely from one end of the car, apparently undecided whether it was best toschuck them in among the baggage in the baggagr car out of the way where they would make less noise, or arrest them for disturbing thc peace. The oc- casional smiles that skittercd across the benignant countenances of the two candy and orange juveniles; "Dan Pratt" and Bob Ball." plainly indicated that they were silently (they are never noisy, but very orderly boys;) enjoying the the their oranges and candy. A more enjoy able excursion is seldom had, than was ours of last Friday afternoon and evening.

of tyranny, or rise with united energy in the spirit of freemen, panting for liberty and independence, and steadily move for ward to meet and contend with the power ful phalanx of opposing difficulties and dangers. Urged by the call of duty, they declared themselves free from, and inde- pendent of their now oppressive ancestors i; and pledged their honor, their life, and the,r treasures, if called for, in bringing the contest to favorable issue, and obtaining a peace and settlement with their belligerent foe, in some measure adequate to their just requirements, and honorable to those who had already, and those who must suffer aud bleed in the glorious cause. and those who may survive, and enjoy the fruits ot their eXertions.
 The people of this town were ever ready, it would seem, to cooperate in every meas ure adopted, and approved of by our government, in that evcntful day, yet not without suitable examination and free dis cussion. They now, pursuant to resolu- tions previously made, rose almost cn masse and prepared to meet the call on them for their quota of men and necessary supplies, to aid in prosecuting the defensive war in which their brethren of the different colo nies were now deeply and arlently en- gaged,-a war, it was believed, sanctioned and approved of by that Being who sways the sceptre of the universe, and to whom the united prayers of the pious of this op. pressed country were addressed for gui, dance and success. Their exertions appear to have been unremitted until the banner of peace was unfurled to their view. Sev. eral of their active and influential men fell Ill the contest, and their bereaved families still flourish among us; others returned to the bosom of their families and friends, and lived to enjoy with them the sweets of liberty and independence.

splendid silver ware.

T. Steele x Son have just received an in- voice of splendid silver ware, mainly gold lined, and of exquisite style and superior finish. The goods are from the Whiting Manufacturing company, New York city, and are elegant. One case contains forks and spoons of all sizes, from the salt spoon to the berry spoon, and from the lea to tho pickle fork, of a new pattern called the Armor pattern, vary handsome.

Town Mutnnl Insurance.

Mutual fire insurance as it is now prac- ticed consists in any number of persons uniting and insuring to each one whatever each individuals loss may be, according to the amount insured and for given space of time. The party insured becomes member of the company during the life of his policy. but the profits after deductine the losses annually, go into general fund which: is kept at interest. This fund in most of the older mutual com panies, whose risks are in country towns, has become large in consequence of the slight damages
 which occur in such, localities hence the question arises whether each country town, at least in the state, could not with great advantage form titself into Mutual Fire Insurance Company, under proper Iegisla- tive enactments, constituting the selectmen, town clerk and treasurer, board of insur- ance to insure all buildings if applied for, or such as they might deem proper to take risks upon in behalf of the town, and to pay premiums after deducting losses into the town treasury to be applied towards the annual expenses of the town, thus decreas- ing, the taxes of the same. The amount annually paid by the inhabitants of the town of Salisbury for instance, to the vari- ous fre.insurance companies must be very large and when we consider the infrequency of fires in the town for the last fifty years, we can readily calculate the benefit every taxpayer would derive from some system of general town insurance similar 10 the above. It would at once be for the inter- est of ever, taxpayer who owns a building, to effect an insurance on the same, as he would then effect two objects to his ad- vantage. Itis presumed there are towns in this state where the levying and collec- tion of taxes would soon be unnecessary by the above method of insurance and the
 application of the avails. .,. .t..., x

Wednesday evening March 27, Conductor Smiths train when about half e mile north of Cornwall Bridge encountered broken rail. The engine and two cars passed over all right, one milk car and baggage car were thrown from the track, the passenger car passed over safely, no one injured. The engine was sent to Falls Village for help and the wreck was cleared up Fand the remnant of the train proceeded to Pittsfield about four hours late.. Saturday morn- ing March 3oth fire was discovered in the rag-room of J. Q. Sherwood's tin shop. An alarm was given and the flames soon subdued. Damage slight cause, spon- taneous combustion. The vote of Corn wall was as follows, Hubbard i96, Jewell l34. Baldwin l92, Botsford 13S. Hurl burt l76. Spur I54. H. s. Beers and Chester Wickwire were elected Represen- tatives, both democrats. The vote was light owing to bad weather. With oue or two exceptions everything passed off oui- etly. The election was not legally warned, as the warnings were not put up till March 2Oth, however we don't suppose it makes much difference, as the state provides for an election on Monday April lst. It shows a neglect of duty on the part of the con- stables, but worse mistakes often happen. Rob will not be caught again in that trap" = f'..- NUF CED.
