If we don't have circus, or an earth quake, or tliberap ratification, or some of these old bachelors about Joliet don't get get married, or some of the younger ones who want to, and are taking advantage of these pleasant evenings to do their sparkling over the front gate, don't get hung on a picket, or lady fall on the dilapidated sidewalk on Ottawa street and sprain her ancle; or if our cross-railroad don't get built, or a child get lost in the dog-fennel, the editor of one of our city journals will be short of local items in his next issue. So says one of our severely tried leaders of public opinion.'

Seaside Correspondence.
WATCH HILL. 4


 FRIEND PEAsR-Your correspondent and better-half, after eight hours passage from old Berkshire, found themselves at Watch Hill in Rhode Island, 8 place about four miles from Stonington, across the bay in a southeast direction, where the summer wis itors and hotels are all that is of much value, as the land is made up of two tons of rocks and stones to one of soil or land. The hotels, seven in number, viz.: Atlantic, Larkin, Narragansett, Plimpton, Ocean, Watch Hill and Bay View, all appear to be good, but do not come up to Congress Hall or Grand Union at Saratoga in elegance or style. Here you can see the sharp-nosed, whining Yankee, the broad faced German, with his gruff voice and healthy look, who seems to say by his actions, I am out here for good time and am going to take it cool and have all the comfort the place affords, while l am here. Snobtown is also repre- sented here, and the young scion of the codish aristocracy is on hand, with his evercommanding tones, saying, "Waitah, bring me some watah ;" "Waitah, pass the buttah." So you see we have the spice of life, (variety). The seven hotels here l think might accommodate about 15OO bosrders, and appear to be we'll filled. Prices of board range from $3 to $5 per day, or $l5 to $3O per week, according to location of rooms, and style, as well ss the length of your purse. AS your humble correspondents purse is short at both ends, you can judge where to find him and his wife. We spend our time in bathing, walking, sleeping, eating and dySnking :; (not whiskey, as have not seen anything that tlooks whiskeyfied, neither have heard an oath or coarse vulgar word since I came here.) My wife and I, being land-lubbers, are interested In tramping on the beach and watching the rolling waves from the old Atlantic as they break on the shore, with a noise that sounds like distant thunder. Yes. terday gave us rather an extra exhibition. as the tide came in there was 8 strong breeze from the southeast, which piled ul the waves as high as my head, as they came in on the beach, and we spent nearly all the
 
 afternoon on the shore. We came across from Stonington in small steamer about as long as rail car, and when we reached the dock, burly Irishman approached me and wanted to carry my baggage to the ho. tel for quarter, and on looking around found that carriages were about as scarce as they were at the landing of Robinson Crusoe on his island where he was monarch of all he surveyed. concluded contract with Pat for delivering my trunk to the Bay View House. Pat got the trunk on a hand truck, such as are used in depots, and started for the hotel, but soon the trunk was bottom up in the middle of the street, and Pat after wheel-barrow, and after about twenty minutes, he came to the hotel with wheel-barrow, trunk, and boy to help him, both in 8 sweat, saying, "Bedad this is the most heaviest box ever seed in my life, and sure the buy must have ten cints for helping wid this box" (The boy got the ''tin cints.'O Perhaps you may hear from me again. if my purse holds out and old Berkshire keeps right side up with care.

MB. EDlToR-I often read communica- tions in your paper from village correspon- dents, of village and town incidents, which is all very well, but read very little from the agrieulturalists. The farmers of these towns; the bone and sipew of the land; we wish to hear from them also. This,is growing season in their line and the crops are good except hay but there are many substitutes growing for that. Corn is good. I have good healthy sweet corn growing, over twelve feet high, ears eight feet. Plen- ty of stalks ten feet high. Field sowed corn averaging from eight to ten feet, also few acres of that second crop of clover ready to cut. Now you have plenty of readers of your paper who can show larger figures and more growth than can, but do not speak of them. Just so with regard to our agricultural fair. Most gieaoers pass around and examine each product minutely, and then positively assert that they have snuch better articles of their 0ao11 production at home. Now MT. Editor, is this right ? Does this add anything to the interest or benefit Of the society, to what ' mlght 1T those very good articles were there on exhi- bition, as was spoken of last week by our secratary. No, MT. Editor, let us have those articles and their 0aon,ers there, and let us hear from our neighboring farmers occasionally through these columns, and make this conversational journal.
 H. BELDEN. Exactly right, MT. Belden: Your sug- gestion is most excellent. We should be glad to give 8 reasonable portion of the NEWS, to the discussions of farmers, and thus make of it more of conversational journal. It would not only interest farm CTS, but others. We invite their communi- cations, and we think it would add largely to their interest if all, like you, write oyer tseaT 0soD sigaGtures.-ED. NEWS

agreeable change. Conductor Eggleston, who will have charge of the train, has se- cured the services of two policemen, who will accompany the train, to prevent any disturbance on the part of any of the boisterous class, who may possibly get among the party, yet it is hoped and ex- pected that there will be no occasion for their services. The tickets were distributed along the route last Tuesday evening, and all who can do so, it is desirable that they should purchase, or at least engage what they need at the earliest possible moment, in order that a sufficient number of cars may be provided to accom- modate comfortably all who go. If we are to judge by the number who have said they are going from this region, we think there will be larger turnout along the route than ever before on similar occa- sion, and we'll there may be, as it certainly furnishes an amount of pleasure for 50 small sum of money, rarely obtained. Last week we were only able to give the cost of tickets for the round trip, including the boat ride, for Millerton, Ore Hill, Lakeville, Salisbury and Chapinvile, which is $2.5O. The price from Canaan, East Canaan and West Norfolk is $2.25; Norfolk $2OO; West Winsted and Winsted $l.75, and sta | tions beyond Winsted at correspondingly low figures. The train will leave Millerton at 6 o'clock, Ore Hill at 6.15, Lakeville 6.2l, Salisbury 6.27, Chapinville 6.34, Canaan 6.5O, East Canaan 700, West Norfolk 7.15, Norfolk 7.22, West Winsted 7.57, Winsted sos, etc., etc.. arriving in Hartford about 10 o'clock. The train will leave Hartford on the return trip about 5.3O in the after noon, or after the arrival of the boat.

SATURDAY, September rs, 1872, shall posi-
lively come off on that day without postpone
ment, the management now notifies all who
expect to participate in the drawing that they
should buy their tickets at once. Delay for q
fow days caused many who wanted tickets at
the concert in December last to go without
them. Some living in Louisville waited until
sales were closed, expecting, no doubt, post
ponement, and then offered s15. $40, and even
s25 for tickets which the dsy before were offer

living at distance sent thousands OF dollars

ness and suffering ia prevented by their timely
use; and every family should have them OH
hand for their protection and relief, when re-
quircd. Long experience has proved them to
be the safest. surest and best Of all the Pills
with which the market abouuds. By their
occasional use, the blood is purified the cor
removed, and the whole machinery of life re-
stored to it's healthy. activity. Internal or
gans which become clogged and sluggish are
cleansed by Ayers Pills, and stimulated
into health, tho value of which change, when
reckoncd on the vast multitudes who enjoy it,
can hardly be computed. The sugar coating
makes them pleasant to tako, and preserves

and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless-
ness. Lnnguor and Loss or Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the
stomach, and restore its healthy tone and
action.
For Liver Complaint and it's various
symptoms, bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache. JaundEce or Green Sickness, Bill
ious Collie and Bilious Fevers. they should
bo judiciously taken for each caRe, to correct
the diseased action or remove the obstruc-
tions which cause it.
For Dysentcry or Diarrh9n, but one
mild doee is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Goat, Gravel, Pa1pf-
tntion OF the Heart, Pain In the Side,
Back and Loins, they should bo continuous
ly taken, as required, to change the diseased
action OF the system. With such change
those complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and DrOpsical SwellinRs,
they should be taken in large and frequent
doses to produce the effect Of drastic purge.
For Suppression. large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by
aympathy.
AS o Dinner PHI, take one or two pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stoma ch
and bowels. restores the appetite and invigo-
rates the system. Hence it is often advan-
tageous where no serious arrangement e1-
