 the locomotive. Coming around slight curve this stream was not noticed by the row of directors mentioned, till it bounced on them as the engine whizzed by, and filled their palpitating bosoms full. Direc- tor Moore of Hartford, who seemed to en- joy the fun quite as much as the rest, said, with a characteristic twinkle of his eye, ''That this affair went to show that the | people of this region are not all Baptists, as some of them believe in sprinkling." Assaulted.-Last Monday evening as a colored laborer III the employ of MT. Robi- son ientered the bar room of the hotel at Lakeyille to get 8 glass of water he was assaulted by two 1rishmens without the slighte est provocation on his part, and was severely beaten. Sheriff Perry imme- diately arrested them, and after tue brace lets were on their wrists, fastening the two together, one of them got slightly staky, and kicking the sheriff on the shins in manner by no means comfortable, was ad- ministered about 75 cents worth of whole some correction behind the ear, which act ed with remarkable rapidity in quieting him. The two were brought before Justice Tupper, and fined $5 each and costs, and sent to Litchfia|d jail for 20 days.
 TAanE You, Str Mir. Andrew J. Spur, of Chapinville, knowing that editors seldom get together at one time money enough to buy bushel of apples, tumbled q large bag full of the finest specimens of "Hollow Crowns" we have seen this sea- son on our front piazl last town meeting day-Monday. Some of the larger ones measured thirteen and one-half inches in circumference. These, with three man. moth citrons, were an addition to our ''stock in trade" that is pleasant to con template. MT. Spur is one of our most successful farmers, as everybody herea- bouts knows, and these huge and luscious apples are fair sample of all lis crops, which arc always good, and as large as those of his neighboring farmers, and that is saying good deal. Friend s. has our thanks for his kindly remembrance.
 Appreciated. as tue result of effort in the accomplishment of purpose, is sweet; and to be assured that our efforts are appreciated by those for whom we labor, is pleasant. The following from Judge Theron R. Strong of New York city, who is worthy son of Old Salisbury, speaks for itself:
