To Our Subscribers. first year of the publication of the NEWS will cad July 5th. and all of our subscribers who sub scribed at the commencement and received the first number of the NEWS, will re- c, i've that day the last number of their first years subscription. While can- wasting for subscribers, before we com mrrced the publication of our journal we were asked by so many of those who sub scribed, '' to stop the paper when the time was out" that we concluded to try the eX- pertinent of adopting that plan with all. instead of charging $2. 50, were we not paid in advance, as many other journals do. That thls plan of stepping ut the expiration of every subscription is for the interest and advantage of subscriber as well as publish CT, there is not question. Among the many reasons why it is to their advantage are, firstly subscriber is liable to forget to renew his subscription as soon as it ex- pires, and time unconsciously passes on, and as he continues to take the paper from the post office, he is obliged to pay for it, and his bill will soon come to him, at the rate of $2.5O per year, thus paying 5O cents for the use of $2. % for short time. This is pretty steep interest to pay for the use of money. Another reason why the '' stop plan is for their interest is, that if
 
 other year. they are not obliged to write three or four times to choke the unwelcome journal off. It must be clear to all, that it is not for our interest to get our subscribers provoked at us because we stop their paper, and we hope none will be sen. sitiye on that point, as we shall treat Gt olike in that matter, and in doing so are trying to do what we think is for the inter. est of all concerned. Our books are now opened for a renewal of the subscriptions of our original subscribers, and all who are satisfied with our efforts thus far in making a newspaper to represent the interests o1 | Western Litchfeld county, we shall gladly welcome with renewal of their subscrip tions before the expiration of the year July 9th, and thus have no " stopping o their paper. For the generous and unex pected patronage of the year so nearly past we have to say to our patrons: we thanl you most heartily: You Aavs made x | lige N4

GoDEY's LADY's Book. This charnning pub lication for Jnly is particularly interesting. Its engravings, '.Seaside Courtship" and " Miss Lolipop's party are splendidly exc cuted works, and depict faithfully the scenes they are designed to represent.

Hartford at l 20 in the afternoon.

Hartford at 1.20 in the afternoon.
 On the Housatonic road the most impor- tant change is in the time of the evening passenger train going north, also in the time of the afternoon passenger train north, a slight change occursin the time at Canaan and stations north. The through freight trains run to Pittsfleld and are changed somewhat in their time, also few stations of regular freights. An examination of the timetable of that road in the NEWS will render all the information desired. The Conn. Western table was received too late for change this week. The connections at this end of the route are very good, and ought to be satisfactory. There are two however which slight tinkering would evidently improve. The first train going east on the 0. w. road in the morning, ar- rives in Canaan at 6.1O, Hartford time, and the Housatonic Special from that station to Pittsield leaves at 600, New York time. To deduct the difference in the time be- tween Hartford and New York, (about 6 minutes makes the Housatonic train leave four minutes before the Conn. Western train gets in. The Morning Special from Canaan arrives in Millerton just 12 minutes after the through train on the Duchess & Columbia road leaves that station, (after the difference in time by which the two roads are run is deducted of course.) The two instances above alluded to can easily be remedied if the roads are disposed to do it, and by so doing they will provide for a long felt want. People of this section have no means of getting to Burlington, Pitts field or any of the stations on the Housa- tonic road north of Canaan, till well along in the afternoon of every day. neither have they means of getting down on the Dutch ess & Columbia road on their early morn- ing train. If the connections were right, there undoubtedly would be many who would go down to West Point or other places on the Hudson, and return to their homes the same day, also on the Housaton- ic road they could go north and after spending the day, return in the evening. These s-connections can be easily reme- died and by all means should be. The con. nections at Hartford going east are most excellent. The first train to Hartford makes close connection with the express on the Hartford, Providence & Eishkil road, and parties by~that route can get to Boston two or three hours sooner than by any other route. The attractions at Provi dence, and the watering places along the O
 &c.,, ought to call many for at least shor
 trip to those places during the present heat ed term. To return from those places, tn, connections of the trains are close anl everyway desirable, enabling all to get tt
 those places or return easily in one day.

 this performance. About the size of pint of eIder, he rattled around the stand in a most ludicrous manner; now playing few notes on his violin, saving it off as though his life depended on it's vigorous execution, and then swinging wildly his bow as he di. rected the immense volumes of sound which rolled in thunder tones from the cho rus and orchestra. His effort was grand success, and he was rewarded by louG demonstration of public approval.
 Next comes the ever popular "Anyi Chorus from |" Trovatore Not entirely unlike the British band with their red coats came the long file of 100 Boston fremen who as they came, parted alternately to tn right and left, and with their sledges ol their shoulders stationed themselves Iea their 100 anvils. The execution of thi piece, as it has never failed to do, althoug so many times been performed, brougf down the house. It was accompanied b the full chorus, organ, orchestra, militar bands and cannon, and was grand almo beyond the power of words to describe.
 WOne or two other selections were gor through with of minor importance, whe the Missionary Hymn, From Greenland Icy Mountains" was rendered by ever, thing at hand which could be obtained 1 make noise. This good old piece appea ed to i'll the audience with more genuil musical enthusiasm than all the complicat' music combined, which had previous been rendered. This closed the entertai ment of the day, and the only one at whi we were present, choosing to occupy t remaining time allotted us for our trip, an inspection of Boston and its suburbs.

MoSr of our Tennessee exchanges
have come to us, Of late, replete with
denunciations, clothed in more or less
bitter terms, applied to the Nashville
Dalies, and we have been asked why
our voice has not been raised, in chorus
with the outburst Of indignant protest.
We have been silent because We have
no right to denounce any man for lie
ultimately exercising his unquestion-
able rights over his own property, and
because, however much we may feel
the loss of the exchange, we have too
much pride to show it by public ex-
hibition. We have frequently declined
an exchange with weeklics because
they were not the sort we cared to read.
The right to do this, has never been
denied us, and if a daily thinks an cx-
change with weekly, an unequal and
burdcnsomc one, there is no legal nor
moral obligation demanding its con-
tinuancc. AS question pfright there
is no room forargument, As a question
of courtesy, each one will argue it in
accordance with his own views and i'm
pulses; but il is not for us 10 probe the
motives of our Nashville contcmpora-
ries, nor to pass upon the considora
tions which prompt their actions, and
hence our failure to join in the cry
against them.

was announced thata certain combination

the cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous de-
bility, liver complaint, periodical fevers,
rheumatism and constitutional weakness.
The unpretending name given 10 the spe-
cific was PLANTATION BfI-rERs. The state
meut attracted the attention of invalidS
everywhere. This new remedy received "a
fair trial. aud the result more han con-
firmed all that had been said in It's praise.
Thenceforward twas q grand success. The

glorious news tar and wide, and the mar
tyrs to indigestion, biliousness. physical
prostration and premature decay, as If by

I.AEOR IN TIE SOUTH :.

We read, recently, in southern
exchange, something new in the MODE
of securing farm labor, which is said TO
work better than the plan pursued here
and elsewhere. The article is mislaid
and we can only give, from mem
DRY, the leading idea advanced in it
that it is more profitable to divide time
than crops, with the laborers. The
plan suggested is said to have worked
we'll in the few trials that have been
made Of it. II proposes that the farm
ers, as now, shall furnish teams and
implements, but set apart portion of
the farm for the laborers, to be plant
ed in whatever crops they may select
and reserving his portion subject to
his will. Then the gist ofthe contract
is the division ftimc, so many days of
the week to be devoted to the cultiva-
ton Of the seperate crops, and if the
time be equally divided, there will be
three days for the proprietorand three
for the laborers, which days may be
alternate, or the three together, as
may be stipulated in the contract. I'M
der this system there can be no disa-
greement about the division of the
crop and the farmer may so shape his
bargain that portion of the time re.
served for himself, may be devoted tc
fences, buildings, or whatever else may
be required for renovation and protec-
ton.
1t should be farther stipulated that q
day lost, by the voluntary act OF the
laborer, shall be deducted from his
own time and shall, in no wise
interfere with the time set apar
for the proprietor. This provision
will break up, to great extent, the
pratice of appropriating Saturday as 6
holiday, attending on courts and pub
lie gatherings for any purpose. TC
this extent, habits Of industry will b,
encouraged which, in time, will pro
mote good morals, as well as increas,
agricultural productions.
1t is always with difidencc that W.
offer suggestions to those who are pre-
sumcd to know their own business; bu
believing that speculative opinions of
ten lead to valuable practical results
We venture to present the forego nj
views, for the grave consideration ofal
who are interested in the development
of the agricultural wealth of this sec
ton.
