who will finish this week. Tobacco rais- ing 1s becoming one of the chief pursuits. There was . slight frost on Wednesday morning of last week, when the thermome- ter stood at 36 6o, causing aEttle uneasi- ness, which has quickly vanished with the rising mercury. marking 74o at 6 o'clock, P. N, on Saturday, and up to 900 Sab bath afternoon. No wonder American character is accused as one of extremes. Intense cold and sultry heat send the feel ings up and down the moral scale, based on physical sensations.
 = Last Friday, we received copy of the New Milford Journal across the border. The first business card was our friend Knapp's, and the reading on the first page strictly legal. The modest cautions and straight forward statements of t.Our Pa per" on the second page are commendable, and if not sustained by the citizens, will be to their lasting shame and discredit. l A place that has supported from sixteen to twenty drinking places can support one newspaper. To be sure. whisky guzzling and literature are not near relations, but if less Of the former is put into the stom- ! ach and more of the latter into the brains, all the better for the world in general, and New Milford in particular. w. Roxbury. ., The annual fair of this and other towns adjoining Woodbury is to be held at that place on the 18th and 18th insts. s.ls

 II think your correspondent from this place who ''has five acres of tobacco" was 1 severely bitten Tuaadsy of last week; so report has it. Only think, s.five acres of tobacco!" Some think it an 'simpor- tant crep." I think it waste of precious ] time and nervous energy.

 The Fall Meeting of the Winsted Horse Association will be held on the 17th and 18th of Sept, at the Greenwoods Ag- riculsural Park in this Borough.

 Our Catholic brethren are having some trouble with their pastor the Rev. Father Leo. It seems that he desires to make some changes in the sittings of members of his flock, while they do not wish to change. It has resulted in almost open war. Last Sabbath all the Censta- bles of the place together with our Deputy sherir were caiisd in to preserve the peace at the church while the Rev. Father pro ceeded to give the refractory members a good, strong lecture on behavior, &e. We l are sorry that this trouble has arisen be- tween the pastor and hls church, for the best of feeling has always prevailed among them heretofore.
