On Sunday, the 18th inst, in the cen tral portion of the day, barn belonging to George W. Bristol was burned on Humiston Hill.

Mr. Murray's Creed gave very good satisfaction. Though many d1d not agree with his conclusions, they conceded the soundness of his philosophy. It was the best paying lecture, but one, of the ten given, and had the weather and travelling been good, would have exceeded them all. It will not be possible to have worse seasons again, and when Wendell Phillips and other first-class lecturers come next year, we are sure our friends in the ad- joining towns can participate with us in the feast of fat things.
 Mir. Murray gave e talk on the Horse, at Farmers Hall, Wednesday, to large audience. He commenced by showing, as illustrated by the horse-disease in Boston, the untold value of the horse to our present civilization. Then followed some remarks on breeding, from the text(a minister's nev- CT good for anything without text and the power to stick to it), that everything is to .'bring forth seed after it's kind.-' A hint to farmers who insanely think to raise kind, gentle, sound horses from vicious and broken down mares. Next, the foot and how to shoe it. From 8 vivid description of its construction and uses, the inference was, 'tshoe as little, lightly, and drive out the malls as low down on the hoof, as possible" The lec- ture was very interesting and instructive. Samuel Fl. Clark leaves c. L. Hickox's : farm, and has. rented Mrs. Frosts honse as a temporary supply. MT. Mahew takes Hickox's farm the ensuing year.

The wife of Dr. H. B. Steele went to New York on the 9th inst to attend the funeral of an uncle. She was taken un- we'll while on the journey. She reached her destination but rapidly grew worse. On Tuesday evening, following, she died. Her husband had left her that morning, thinking she was better, to attend to his own patients at home. He was notified by telegram, and started for New York by the next train, returning on Thursday, the 18th, with her rpse,-iust one week from the day she left home. The funeral was attended at her late residence, last Sabbath, by large assembly of friends.

The statement in the papers that the Shepaug railroad has gone into the State Treasurer's hands for non-payment of tax es is incorrect. It was on account of non- payment of interest on bonds.

 In the last week Sentinel, these two names were presented in conjunction. This is as it should be; it shows in the writer. fine sense of the fitness of things. The father of each of these culprits has publicly youched for his sons virtue and amiabillty. .e.4s l.n5 -sz. Wea not able to speak intelligently of the former but we know few illustra. tive incidents in the case of the latter which seem worthy of record. i.
 When L. M. F. lived on ssthe old Fris. bic place. he felt agrieved because his neighbor Knapp's COW used to feed upon the ample pasturage of the lane. To teach her to do better, he at first amused himself by mounting his horse and chas. ing the COW to the top of her speed. Al length he threw pitchfork at her and inflicted serious injury. When the fact was discovered, g year or two afterwards, he, obligingly paid MT. Knapp sum ol money and saved himself prosecution.
 
 | Levi had colt. He used to open the stable door to let the colt out. He wonld then stand and punch the pitchfork at the colt and laugh to see it jump. At length the colt refused to leave the stable. Then the virtuous and amiable yonng man en- tered and kicked it out. The colt could not prosecute and got no money.
 ! Levi one day called Mir. S., the horse tanner, into the barn to show him an in- genius invention for making the COW stand still during milking. Mr. B. suggested } that it greatly endangeredl the breaking of the cows leg. Levi replied to this eff. feet, t.Let it break" As the razor stror

MILTON. March 15. 1873,


 EDITOR ENQUIRER For weeks I have been threatened by MT: Henry Frisbie with some terrible exposure. It came last week in the colums of The Sentinel.
 I may say that the language there pur- ported to me is not the language I en- ployed, but it is nearly so enough to an- swer the purpose and I am willing to adopt it.
 In reply I have little to say. have no apology to make either to MT. Frisbie or the public for feeling or expressing pro- found indignation against man who has abused his wife by kicking, beating and otherwise. And the less so that I have known that wife from her childhood as one amiable, pleasant, inoffensive person.
 The remark which I made to Dr. Beach lightly and jocosely. I now, and in view of all the sad and painful results, reafirm it seriously and advisedly.
 Twill tell Mir. Frisbie and the public another. About the time that Levi M. Frisbie's treatment of his wife became publicly known, was overtaken in Litch- field by one of the merchants of the place. He inquired of me, "What sort of man is that Frisbie, knave or fool 2" re- piled "A brute" Subsequent develop ments have confirmed my opinion Respectfully yours,

NEW HAMPsH,RE.

 New Hampshire chooses n Republicah legislature; sends two Republicans and one Democrat to Congress and gives the Republican nominee for Governor a plurality if not majority. It was not a great Republican victory, apd, particular ly, it was no Republican defeat. But for the Credit Mobilier and the salary swin- dle, however, the Republican majority in New Hampshire, would have been num- oered by thousands. It was fair stand up fight between the old political organ izations Republicanism had the most votes, but the Democracy were in better heart for voting Liberal Republication made no figure. As Carlyle would say, it is an effervescence that has effervesced.
 Nevertheless the New Hampshire eiec- tion plainly indicates that the Republican rank and file are growing sick of their leaders. They will not vote for Demo- erats, nor quite let an election go by de- fault, but they don't believe in themselves with their old fervor. ,a...s fs

New Preston.

We are ill receipt of letter from New Preston replying to the Sentinel in detail about certain $16. IT item of "pew rent. :" The matter is of so little general interest that We condense the statement as follows:
 On settling with their late pastor the New Preston Society's committee were at variance with.him regarding an account of $116;17 for seven Sundays services. They claimed he had not supplied the pulpit on two of the Sundays in question but offered S100 in full settlement. This amount was accepted; and that deduction of $16.17. says our correspondent, is all there is of the money said to have been received by. the Society from the late pas tor for 'spew rent P
 We give below the closing paragraph of the communication, hoping that future letters may report, "All quiet on the As petuck ED. ENo.
 ''Critic" still insists that we have suf- fered severe loss, and if it is any com fort to him to feel that we are thus afflict- ed, we do not wish to deprive him of it. We entirely agree with ''Critic" in hoping that the spirit of religion may prevail and that it may reach every family and indi- vidual in this community, not excepting "Critic, , and that it may thus be carried to the very Hilltop and there become the means of resuscitating both the prayer meeting and Sunday school.

Those who imagine that property qualification tends to purity of the suff- rage, should consider the action of our great monied corporations of late. In the first place there was the old Erie manage ment. defying law and it's stockholders in way no political constituency would have borne. Now we have great fight going on between great railway combi- nation and the people of New Jersey. For years the company have ruled the State by purchasing its legislators. At last the people have walked up and elected lower House they cannot buy. The old influence, however, still controls the Sen- ate, and Trenton is just now a hotter place than it has ever been since Gen. Washington marched into it on memora- ble occasion nearly century since. But the purity of capital has more notable l illustration in the endorsement of Oakes Ames by the Union Pacific Railroad Go.
 Not only is he reelected director, but he is chosen 2 member of the executive
 committee and of the committee on land 1 grants. In short the very acts which have
 made his name a bye-word in politics art
 an additional recommendation with the
 capitalists of the Union Pacific In view
 of such facts we cannot but re l joice that property has no chance to gov | ern the country on such principles as i
 ! governs our railroad companies. a

Died at Litchield, March 1st, 1873, of Consumption- of the Bowels, Anna Maria, wife of Benjamin W. Pettibone, and only daughter of Dea. Marcus Munsill, aged 34 years.
 The six years since Mrs. Pettibone's marriage she has spent in Litchfeld ]; most of the remainder of her life in Win chester. In both places, many hearts will be sad and not few eyes grow moist as these words are read Remarkably even- tempered, gentle and lovable, a precious memorial of her is written in the hearts of large circle of friends. A consistent christian from early childhood, the Say for was an ever present reliance until "Death was swallowed up in victory
 Through months of weakness and vast ing she was bright and hopeful. When laid upon her dying bed she rested with trusting confidence upon ''The Everlast- ing Arms, saying God never makes any mistake, calmly bade goodbye to loved ones, and then patiently waited the Mas ter's summons to enter into His rest. And so she fell asleep in Jesus.
