A Living Patriarch.

A New Haven paper gives the town of WoodburY in this state, the honor of fur nishing the cradle, and Prescott, Wiscon- sin. the credit of being the present residence of Nathan Stiles, Esq.,, whose birth was in l767, and who is now lo5 years of age and still s'hale and hearty" Salisbury, how ever, has right>to claim small portion at least of the honors, or credit, with regard to this venerable .and very aged man. It was here that he probably commenced the business of his long and well spent life, in l790, when he must have been 23 years of age. He purchased store which stood on the grounds now occupied by the mansion of George Cofing. Esq, and three acres of land, portion of which is now MT. Cof- fing's garden and yard. He also owned 30 acres of land which is now embraced in the farms of Messrs. Cofing and T. A. Stiles, both of whom are his relatives. In 1861 he sold his real estate here and it is believed he emigrated to Canada. His memory and intellect are but slightly if any impaired
 and he walks about the village of Prescott
 and converses pleasantly and intelligently | and claims that he voted for Washington in 17s8. He has had two wives and six teen children, and has been a very exemp
 lary citizen. W. K.

The cut-worm is doing great damage in the tobbaco fields of East Hartford, especi- ally in locations where the grounds is damp, and the late rainy weather has made his progress quite alarming One cultivator, who had set out three thousand plants. has found on examination, not more than ten or twelve plants which have not been touch- ed. And, beside tobacco fields, the worm has extended his ravages to the melon and tomato crops, and, in some cases, to corn ] and potatoes.

To Our Subscribers. The first year of the publication of the NEWS will end July 5th, and all of our subscribers who sub scribed at the commencement and received the first number of the NEWS, will re- ceiye that day the last number of their first years subscription. While can- vassiDg for subscribers, before we con- menced the publication of our journal, we were asked by so many of those who sub scrlbed, to stop the paper when the tim, was out" that we concluded to try the ex- pertinent of adopting that plan with all, instead of charging $2.50, were we not That thls plan of stopping at the expiration of every subscription is for the interest and advantage of subscriber as well as publish CT, there is not a 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 tue post office, he is obliged to pay for it, and his bill will soon come to him, at the rate of $2.50 per year, thus paying 50 cents for the use of $2.0O 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 they do not choose to take the paper an- 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 sitlve on that point, as we shall treat G1 aIste 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 renewal of the subscriptions of our original subscribers, and all who arc satisfied with our efforts thus far in making newspaper to represent the interests of Western Litchtield county, we shall gladly welcome with renewal of their subscrip- tions before the expiration of the year, July 5th, and thus have no |" stopping of their paper. For the generous and unex- pected patronage of the year so nearly past, we have to say to our patrons: we thank you most heartily: You Aavs made us Iige

Amenia Races

The Amenia Tunes says the races at the Fair Grounds, for which such complete preparation was made last week, were brought to an abrupt close on the very first day by the rain. The weather has been cloudy and rainy, or. threatening, ever since; and the managers did well in making com plete postponement of the races to the pres- ent week. There was one trot on Tuesday morning, which we will let the Neaos report CT describe:
 The first race is just over. It was decided in four heats. There was but three entries The Dutchess, owned by J. J. Arnold :; Wi5d Outs, owned by Edwin Thorn and George Whstney, owned by w. W. Rogers
 WSSd Outs took the first and second heats in 3:6 and 3:2, respectively, Datc1ess crowding him closely on in thrice best The third heat was closely contested be- tween the three horses. WSld Oots and Dutchess coming in nearly together, and Dutchess having been a little crowded by Ws5d Oats, it was declared dead heat, time 2:58. The fourth and last heat was taken by WS1d Oats, Dutchess coming in second, and closely followed by George Whitney, who did his handsome trotting on the last heat.
 The adjourned races commenced last Monday, June 10th, but concerning the trots of that day we have learned nothing. Tuesday was fine day, and the track was in excelletn condition. The first race call ed was contested by Coroner K.", "Wal- ter" and Washburn Maid" The race of best in 5 was won by "Coroner R." in three straight heats. Time: 1st, 241 l.2; 2d, 241 l-2; 3d, 24l IA. The second race brought out as contestants: "Grey Jack" " McMann," "Dresdcn" and "Dutch Boy" "McMann took the first heat in 24l. "Grey Jack, the 2d, Sd and 4th, in 2.s6 1-2; 2,se 1-4; 2s6. "Dutch Boy" was distanced on the second heat. The attendance on these races was not what would be called large, but fair. The ar- engagements were good and all passed off satisfactorily.

Kent.
 The H. R. R. Co., have commenced work on their new depo. in this place, and have begun in earnest. The first of August will see the structure all in running order, 8 thing long needed. It will be ornamental to our village as we'll as useful. Quite a sensation has recently occurred in that part of our town called Flanders City. It ap- pears that two neighbors, owners, of horses, GA. R. has two, J. w. has one, ) have been in the habit of turning them into the street to feed, to the aggrayation of one surly parsonage, R. B., said B., for some time past kept telling them that if they persisted in doing so, he would drive them to pound. s. thinking that 8, barking dog never bites. didn't believe he would, but R. being rather fearful. detailed his boy to watch the horses. s. being of rather 8 jovial mind and we'll supplied with gift of gab, coaxed the boy off on some imaginary or real purpose, just to see what B. would do; but Lo, and behold when they came around, the horses were not to be found, and SO R. gets horse of neighbor Rora- back and starts in pursuit, thinking that as one of the horses was fettered he could overtake them before they were impound- ed, but as luck would have it they were just late enough, so they had to shell out to pound-keeper Page, the usual sum. This little thing between these neighbora has caused many hearty laugh and joke by way of trying to worry B. by taking counsel, &c., and by every way, all in a joking manner. B. will never hear the last of it although the good will between the neighbors has not been disturbed, and all have agreed that the only one to blame is B. s pig and let the thing all drop as the said pig is the only sufferer in the case, and we would recommend the authorities o1 the town to fix up the bridge that separates the dwellings of those neighbors, as the re. newed friendship between them will neces sarily cause considerable extra travel ovel said bridge, it being now in very preca rious condition, and it would really be too bad if either of them should get duckin, while on their way in their neighborl, blackguarding visits.
