 Neao Cl0thes.-Nr. J. l.. Pease of the CONN. WESTERN NEWS paid us visit last
 Wednesday. He looked happy and had on new suit of clothes, which leads us to believe he is doing unusually well in. his newspaper business. We are glad of it,
 Wsnsted Press.
 Our friend Pinney of the Press ought to have exercised more caution in speaking of our thew suit of clothes" Seldom, and almost never is an editor fortunate enough to become the sole proprietor of new suit of clothes, and if he had told of it in way our brothers of the quill would have believed it, he would have excited the envy of every ''Bohemian" in the land Ask MT. Foster of West Winsted about these thew clothes; we mean hlm of Adirondack notoriety, and also him who said he could not make speech in Armory Hall the oth- CT night, because meSgh6or had sttf neck! (For an excuse, this was absolutely killing ) and he will tell you that after vast amount of urging on our part. and suspicion on his, he reluctantly rented this suit of clothes to us last June-(and if he tucks flea in your ear that buzzes something like this-"that he never expects to see the clothes again, and would be glad to even get the first quarters rent" you can believe him, for he never told a lie till the other night when he was nursing his neighbours stiff neck Talk about these clothes being meao! Why bless you; we have been to bed twice already to have them mended! Mir. Pinney has a fine of hce, and is making the Press very popular in Winsted. His circulation is already large, and his journal carries with it ample evidence of the success he seems to merit \ and obtain.
 1 It Wasnt Conductor Eggleston.-A cor respondent in the Winsted Press reflects severely on the conductor of the evening train west on the Conn. Western road. Tuesday evening Of last week this cores pendent trave,ed to Millerten on that train, and although he arrived there before the Albany express left that station. he lost the connection and was compelled to wait till the next day because he couldn't get his baggage transferred, and ''goes for' said conductor as follows:
 l SkT~a
 conductor of the c. W: He knew that had three trunks-that without them could not leave He knew that he was late; that the other train was about to start as his arrived, and that it was no more than his duty to have detained that train as l ne could have done by speaking with the conduct oRg o have 0sded beautiful, have no such cause of complaint. Their baggage is handled with care, their destination they are seen to their seats when they go to the hotels they are escorted to their rooms. But men, ana oid women, and homely women, have to look | out for themselves
 ] Everybody knows that the above train IS Conductor Egglcston's train, but they may not remember that On the evening in ques- tlon, he was in West Winsted receiving the $75.Oo badge as token of the peoples ap- preciation of his kind treatment and atten- tion as conductor, instead of being in Millerton receiving the blessings of dis gruntled passenger, and it is only justice to him that the impression carried with that correspondence should be corrected. Nor was it that other popular conductor, MT. John Cogswell, that was running Mir. Egg gleston's train at that time, but the still oth- CT passenger conductor who is not ID the habit of getting up ln the morning, as was evinced by his keeping the train half an hour after the starting time the following Wednesday, morning, waiting for him to 1 get up.
 1Ae Harrington Cattle S1ow.-The de- lightful character of the weather and the numerous attractions on the grounds of the Housatonic Agricultural Society at Great Harrington on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, drew together large crowds of people. The first day, (being the day set apart for the exhibition of cat tle,) we were informed that the attendance although large, was not on an average with the attendance of other years. The entries ot stock were not so numerous as last year, but the animals were of better grade. The second day was beautiful one, and from A. M. to P. M. the roads leading to the fair grounds presented an exhilarating scene. Wagons and carriages, double and single, lumber and light, vanished and un- vanished, loaded to their utmost capacity, with farmer folks of all sorts, sizes, sexes and conditions, came streaming in from every direction, until it was universally agreed that the second day never was sur passed in matter of attendance; there be- ing as was fairly estimated, from seven to eight thousand people present. Commenc- ing at point near the entrance we found an unusual number of mongrel showmen, itinerant vendors, keepers of eating saloons and hucksters of all classes; hooting, bowling and screaming in distracted and dlscordant manner. These squakers. to- gether with grand dancing pavilion, af- forded splendid opportunities for the in vestment of the many dimes and quarters that had been slowed away for the Cattle Show, by the rustic sons and daughters of Southern Berkshire. The mechanical and vegetable departments under the exhibition hall, were we'll filled with a variety of agri- cultural implements, mammoth pumpkins, squashes, beets, cabbages, potatoes, &c The exhibition hall was tastefully trimmed with running pine and never looked to a better advantage. The show of fruit was excellent, and far surpassed the expectation of many who entertained the idea that the fruit crop this season was failure. Such luscious pears, apples, grapes, &c.,, as are annually exhibited at this place by the Candees, Spurs and Curtises, of Sheffield, naturally leads people to think that ssund CT the mountain.
