A string of pickerel, of which Mir. A. c. Randall was the recipient on Saturday, W. taken from the Housatonic River by Mir. Joseph Brinton, and were the handsomest lot that has been taken from that river this season. The general line of amusements such as lectures, lyceums, singing schools and stage performances, which were so rampant here last season, have not as yet revived, but it is accounted for we suppose by there not being any hall in readiness for such entertainments, the one used last sea- son being converted into a residence by Timothy Tucker, who occupies it, and the new hall of the Citizens Association not yet being completed; but meeting of that association is about being held, at which time some action will be taken as 10 furnishing it; after which being done there IS probability of its being dedicated with some meritorious affair, and that the gen eral entertainments of former days will be resumed......Th Rev. MT. Oakley of New lolk city preached two able sermons in the M E. Church on Sunday last.. The Rev. MT.

H. Miner, where they brought up very decid- edy, judging from the appearance of the aperture in said building. Fortunately no loss Of life or limb occurred. A gate torn down by the way, broken wagon and ventilated barn constitutes the result of this affair unless the driver shall learn to culti
 vate his bump of caution, which may some time save him from fatal accident. MT. J. 5. Capron has re-bought of H. c. Allyn his jewclry store, which he has renovated and re-arranged, making it particularly in viting to any who wish 10 go in and inves t few Ks in the shining stones and polished wares, with the assistance of one of the best jewellers in the country.

 ......This place was visited Monday night by some of the light-fngered gentry, who broke into the wagon shop and the Union Shear Co. factory, busfor what purpose we leave the reader to imagine. They then broke into the barn of E. B. Witherill and took his horse, wagon and harness and started towards Sharon. No doubt they purposed going through the store of Pratt & Foster, but for some unknown cause did not make the attempt. By some it was supposed that it was part of the gang who robbed the safe of M. Beers & Sons, and that .hry were after tue drawer of the safe which they had buried about one mile west of here. Sheriff Scoville and con- stable started in pursuit of them early Tues day morning, but with a small chance of catching them. as they undoubtedly went right to Amenia and took the early train for New York.

about two by three feet and five feet high. A lad sits in the top and inserts nails in the proper grooves, while beside the machine stands 2 man with lumber sawed to proper dimensions for soap boxes, say l6x22 inches the man takes one side and end piece and places them in position in the machine, touches lever, and in twink ling six nails are driven home and counter sunk; turn it up side ways and put on an other side piece and six more nails are forced in; change ends and the operation is repeated; put on the top and bottom and in less than twenty seconds the box is nailed together, and no fingers mashed nor time wasted.
 Oct. lst.-For the past three days the exposition building has been a scene of rare admiration. People flock in as soon as the doors are opened, and finger until the lights are put out at 1OP. M. Every thing in the exposition has to pass criti- cal examination. Country people are com ing in in large numbers some twelve car loads arrived by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad to-day, and other roads are not behind in bringing their quota. On Saturday last the atten dance was 20, 900 ; Monday ,Ooo; Tuesday LOGO; Wednes- day l8.OO0; Thursday l5,OOO, and to-day Friday) it rains, and not over 5000 are present.
 What arelall those people looking at just there; we will step over and see; it is tin shop in running order, and they are mak- ing boxes for packing baking powder. Here is a machine that strikes out the tin i; over there is another that presses out the bottom, while just below us is young lady placing sheets of tin beneath knife that cuts out the sides; another young lady passes it through shaping machine and it comes out round; the next soldiers it the fourth puts on the bottom, while the fifth passes 1t through 8 small machine before her and this clasps the bottom firmly on and Hedges it near the top, and the corner is put on and dropped into large basket Four young ladies and one man make four hundred per hour. These ladies are dressed with black skirts, red waists. white aprons and cotton gloves, and no booth attracts more attention than this one.
 Next is last machine, doing very fine work turning out lasts. There is q machine that shells corn and puts it in bag ready to be tied. Adjoining is a machine that takes the husks off the corn perfectly. The husks pass under the machine, while the ears of corn are discharged at the end. There is machine for making lath out of slabs: Pop the slab through this part and it comes out l-2 inches square; put it in there and out comes the lath. Steam and force pumps are in abundance. There are about dozen reapers and mowers, of which we will speak at some future time. The Elgin watch factory attracts good deal of attention, of which we may also allude to again. Sewing machines are in abundance. A steam card manufactory is in operation sc. Our letter is already too long, and our next may be ditto.

THE GAME OF BIRDS. .--sAvilude, or Game of Birds, just published by West S Lee of Worcester. Mass, is card game of real merit, and entirely unexceptionable. It is gotten up in fine style, the play is excellent, while the amount of information afforded in such small space, by the fine engravings of birds and their descriptions Is surprising. It must have a large sale, and deserves it, too. "-Hdrpers Weekly.
