 Quite disturbance occurred here last week. The facts as near as could be learn cd were as follows: Last Saturday MT. Wm. Ketcham, residing at Dover Plains, came to Kent to deliver his tobacco crop of last year to MT. A. St John, bringing with him man named DeGarmo, who had raised the tobacco on shares. Mr. K. had received his pay and started for home, when DeGarmo requested his share of the money. DeGarmo having passed last win ter in jail, MT. K. had hired men to strip and pack the tobacco, and after dedncting the expenses handed him the remainder. He refused to take it, and struck Mir. K ., finally driving him from the wagon. Ketcham returned lo the willage, and off cer Roraback started in pursuit. and arrest ed DeGalmo in Macedonia. The suit was tried befo:e Justice Gibbs, who fined him $7 and costs.

We may have nothing of exciting interest to chronicle, still we are not quite willing to be left out in the cold. Business matters are assuming somewhat livelier aspect; a New York firm having leased the marble quarries of Messrs. E. P. Allyn and Cornish Rood, and have engaged in them force of twenty-five or :hitty men. As yet but lit tie of the marble has been quarried, but what has is pronounced of the finest qual- ity: We understand the company have a contract for furnishing the marble for the Phoenix Bank of Hartfo-d.-The Barnum this past summer in the locality of their furnaces; the external appearance of which are neat and taste .ul, aud they seem to be placing neat and comfortable homes within the reach of all their employees.

Third-That the fading ay of the In dian race is not necessaresult of Chris tian civilization, but of thack of it; and that the grain and stock, 'h all the prod ucts of farms and Qardenars as genial to the health and life of Ilans. as are the products ot the wilds of swamp or the forest.
 Fourth-Thst with Iper protection they are not only able, ,buesirous,to to adopt the best forms of civilizaife; and that it is wrong to force either 'eeds or customs or government upon ther until by graoual development in agriculte and arts ana sciences, they are prepsd for American citizenship.
 Fifth-That the obstAes in the way Of their progression arise tn the overreach- ing selfishness of agentaraders and polin- cal swindlers, which as demoraliZlng and destructive to the lst interests of the whites as they are to u Indians.
 Sixth-That patriotin, national honor, Christian principle and,ur inteest demand a complete change in he management ot our Indian affairs, and:he folbw ing is the plan proposed.
 At a pubic meetig recotly held in Cooper Institute, Neg YoE, to protest against lawless aggresiops pon the 1ndi- ans and to secure justice flo all parties, it was unanimously resolved to appoint committee with authority temploy proper persons to lecture and distFbute documents and collect funds, and to ssit different In dian tribes, and to invite sme of their best representatives to attenl 8 national mass meeting of Indians an6 their friends, al such time and place as tb committee may designate. The speciA object will be te discuss conjointly the best mode for { thorough adjustment of all existing difh- culties between the races, and to adopt { plan that shall be mutually agreed upon, to ensure peace and the progressive elevation of all concerned. The committee ap- pointed are the Hon. Peter Cooper, Johl Beeson, Dr. E. Hudson, Hiram FOwell ant the Rev. E. R. Swachamer.
 In the annual report of the United State Indian Commission, and also by Gov. How ard, it is strongly recommended that ladie as we'll as gentlemen visit the Indian tribes to invite their representatives to the nation al mass meeting. Otherwise the confidenc cannot be obtained, on account of havin been so often deceived and imposed upo by male officials For this purpose Fsthe Beeson asks ,ecuniary aid.

 The audience was not large-but deepl appreciatve-a a strong desire was ez pressed bat the public at large may SOC become alive to the vital importance an magnitude of this movement.

 The middle of September finds us all de- cidedly frost bitten in this region. The advent of old Jack last Sunday night prov ed fatal to the flowers and garden fruits. in consequence of which, we fear our show of floral beauties at the Ct. Burlington Fair will be small this year. Many of the far mers succeeded in gathering their tobacco ere the frost king had taken the first cheao from it, and they now look in pity upon their less fortunate neighbors who suffer loss.-We are happy to announce the arrl- val of Miss M. E. Dewey in town. She spent the whole of the past year in Europe. and her Sheffield friends rejoice to welcome her home. The members of the Friendly Union recognize in Miss Dewey, the moY- ing spirit of their society, and we hope soon to hear of the re-opening of the F. U. Hall, which has been improved and made ready for these winter gatherings The funeral of Louisa, only child of Geo. Cook, Sheffield, was attended at the Con- gregational Church Sunday afternoon. A large crowd of sympathizing friends gath cred there to witness the sad ceremonies Why should we call it sad W hen the young pass from earth to heaven7 It is not death to them, for their entrance is sure through the pearly gates. Little Louisa Was but eleven years old. She had seen none of life's sorrows, but many of it's joys, being an idolized child of fond parents. Tis hard to take to heart the lesson which such deaths teach, but all must learn it, and tis said, "In the Destroyer's steps there spring up bright creations which defy his power, and his dark path becomes way of light to heaven ;" for there is not an angel ad- ded to the host of heaven but does its blessed work on earth in the hearts of those who loved it here.
