 As eligible young men are ''few and far between" in this rural retreat, the single ladies are congratulatlng themselves on new acquisition in the person of the new minister, Rev. Mir. Jessup. We wish our self in his place, for ''coming events cast their shadows before" and with prophetic eyes we can see the numerous attentions of which he will be the recipient. Then the many opportunities. too, which a bachelor can enjoy of whispering sentiment in the ears of the fair ones who still "walk in maiden meditation fancy free," makes us excaim, "Why didn't we remain a bache last week. A young horse. belonging to MT. Hufcut of Macedonia, became fright ened near Leonard pond at the raising of an umbrella, and shied, throwing ont young Hufcut and his companion. The horse then turned about and ran towards the village. When opposite the house of Hiram Bump he ran into the wagon of John Hall, who was driving along, not hearing the runaway on account of the cars. MT. Hufcut's horse becoming eu- tangled m the harness, fell, and after strug- gliDg few moments remained quiet until released by Charles Bolt, who was at work in a field near by. Mir. Hall being thrown out when Hufcut's horse struck his wagon, his horses ran as far as Watson's store, where they turned under the shed. Strange 10 say, no one was injured. neither were the horses hurt of any consequence. Huff cuts wagon was considerably damaged and Halls was perfect wreck. The old adage says, Its an i'll wind that blows nobody good," so we trust the Vinegar. Brothers | may have an opportunity of turning an honest penny by repairing damages. ...The heat and drought are topics which were ex- hausted long ago, but the poet who wrote the following stanzas, truthfully expresses the state of things here.
 ''The dorg days are upon us,
 The sun is pouring down
 Upon the head of every one In this here blaZen town.
 Oh! for a breath of fresh air.
 Gh for little rain,
 We'd just do anything on earth
 These things for to obtain."

Sheffield No. 2.


 will endeavor now to give you more in detail an account of the most painful acci- dent which occurred in this town on Mon day of last week. Three boys, Joseph and George, sons of the late Sylvester Hewins, and son of Michael Landers, were drowned while bathing in the Housatonic river near the Ranney school house. The eldest of the boys was but II years of. age and the youngest but six years. At the afternoon school recess they went out to play and not returning with the rest, the teacher, Miss Hubbel, began to feel anxious concerning them, and dismissed the school in order to search for them. Finding that they had not gone home an alarm was given and thor ough search instituted. which resulted in the finding of their clothes on the bank of the river. The river was at once dragged, and the bodies were found after they had laid in the water three hours. Who can imagine the terrible grief of those sorrow ing families so suddenly stricken by this awful calamity? Surely none but the moth CTS who have felt the same anguish. Just fourteen years this month three little girls were drowned in our village in a similar way, and we'll do we remember the great gloom which then shadowed our hearts. We learn that thes SC little boys had been forbidden by tbeir teacher to go to the riv- CT, and this is truly sad warning to all disobedient school children. ..... Mir Moses Hadsell after a short but painful illness, de- parted this life on Thursday of last week, and his funeral was attended the following day y. Rev. MT. Snyder of Philemont, N. Y., supplied the pulpit at the M. E. Chuich on Sunday last, their pastor being absent for short yacation......The Sheffield Ora matic Association by request give an enter tainment at the Town Hall on Friday even ing, August gus oas sth They are expected to ance," played very successfully by them last winter.

Hotchkiss, where he found some of the stolen goods. At the same time papers were issued for the ar rest of Dwight Hotchkiss, Tom Fully and Hen Reed as the perpetrators of the theft. | Dwight Hotchkiss was found and arrested. but the other two got wind of what was going on and fled. The former was brought before V. F. McNeil for trial last Saturday, and after examining two witness es the case was adjourned till the 18th inst.

COrnpaU Tobacco Crop.-We learn that the farmers at Cornwall Bridge are occupy ing their spare moments in their tobacco fields looking for their tobacco plants. It is found that with the aid of the most pow erful microscopes, traces of tobacco are discernible, and the farmers are in high glee over the discovery. One man, (Zal, has become discouraged. He has had his grounds magni6ed till every grain of sand was as large as hay cock, and not even a smell of tobacco was visible, and has now sowed the lot to corn for fodder.

The Greatest Newspaper.

Tho New York Herald of the
s,h instant, Sunday is justified in
soncratulating ., itself upon APP
usaripg in quintuple form, with
twenty pages and one hundred
anil twenty columns. a feat
s scarcely paralleled in the history
Of the daily press. The Herald
has fairly earned the position it
now holds at the head Of the
newspapers of the world. 1t has
been original, bold and lavish in
its enterprise in the collection of
news. Few persons appreciate the
amount of labor expended upon q
single issue of a great daily. The
herald celebrates its eXtraordina-
~ issue by a description, which,
with little modification, serves as
we'll for every issue of any great
metropolitan journal, and which
the readers of the SENTINEL will
thank us for reproducing:
The Herald contains to-day one
hundred and twenty columns of
matter, of which seventy-eight
are are occupi I'd with compact, solid
advertisements. There are in
these one hundred and twenty
columns about one million ems.
To stereotype to-day's edition one
hundred and forty-eight plates
are cast, each plate weighing thir-
weight pounds, thus making a
total weight of five thou
sand six hundred and twen-
ty.four pounds Of metal used
in stereotyping this single edition.
The paper is printed on five II oe
rotary eight and ten cylinder
presses and two Bullock perfect
Ing presses, being seven presses in
all, which enables us to issue the
edition at the rate of 1000 sheets
per minute, taking two hours and
a half to issue 10000 papers. AS
this work is all done within the
SPACE of twenty-four hours, the
labor can be readily imagined even
by those not familiar with the
business. Day and night the end
less round of work goes on. While
men in ordinary occupations rest
andsleep the ceaseless task Of jour
aaIism knows no intermissiOn.
Click, click, click 60 the types in
to the sticks day and night, night
and day, until the one million
ems have been set W and the
matter proved and corrected. Day
and night, night and day, the tel
egraph is at work bringing us in
telligence from all quarters of the
globe; the corps of correspond
ents, reporters and editors are
busy obtaining news, putting it
into shape or commenting upon
the events Of the moment; the
prOof.readers are at their post,
pursuing their onerous and weary
ing task; the stereOtypers, press
men and assistants are awaiting
the instant when their services
are to be br ought into requisition
for there can be no delay, no
pause. no rest, until the daily
paper is off the press and ready to
60 into the hands Of its readers.
All this for each days paper, and
all to be done within the space of
twenty-four hours! Day and
night, night and day. the press,
the great engine OF civilization,
the educator of the people, the
oulwark of our free Institutions,
labors and tolls for the people, and
the appearance of the Herald to-
day is sufficient proof that the
people appreciate the work when
II is we'll and faithfully done, and
are prepared to extend to it COM
mensurate reward.
