ALLIANCE ECHOES.

The Evangelical attacks upon scepti- cism and Catholicism at the recent Ali ance have drawn responsive fire all along the opposing line; to say nothing of a virulent little side issue between Epis- copalians who justify and Episcopalians who denounce the inter-communion of the Dean of Canterbury with ministers not episcopally ordained.
 The free reigionists who met at New York, last week, accused the Evangelicals of being on the whole rather too liberal for their creed, The best point made by them, however, was. that while the Ali ance had devoted just nine-tenths of their time to the discussion of purely re- hgious and theological questions. they had given but one-tenth to s'Social Evils. i" While religion deals mainly with another world, 1t cannot afford to neglect the things of this world, 'and Mir. Weiss thinks the proportionate allowance of theology. to more practical subjects something like that of the sack to the bread in Falstaffs tavern bill.
 The Catholics, in the meantime, reply vigorously to the. 'sceptics" of the Ali ance whom they class in the same catego ry with Darwin and Huxley, Weiss and Frothingham. The Catholics of St. Lou IS have adopted 8 set of resolutions from which We clip the following characteristic specimen
 Resotred, That the present system of public schools, ignoring all supernatural authority and making God. the first knowledge, the last thing to be learned, is curse to our country, and hoodgate of atheism and of sensualty and of civ il. social, and national corruption

Rev. D. s. Stevens, pastor of the NJ. E.. church in this place, who was sick during most of August and September, has so far recovered that he is spending this month among his friends in Schoharie county, N. Y... recruiting, and hopes soon to be able to return to his work among us. During his sickness services have been held every Sabbath by the society in the form of social meetings and sermon reading. The pulpit has been tempora- rily supplied two or three times by friends from other places. Last Sabbath, MT. F. R. Starr, of Litchfed Chestnut HilD, oc- cupied the pulpit and preached two very interesting and spiritual sermons. A kindness highly appreciated by us.

 The Harwinton Agricultural Society held their annual fair on Friday last, one of the finest of October days, and pro- baby finer display, was never seen in this place. The exhibitions of agricultu- ral and horticultural products and of fancy articles was very satisfactory, the collec- tlons being well selected and numerous. There were over 100 yoke of oxen on ex- hlbition-all of fine quality. It Is es- tlmated that there was throughout the day an attendance of between two and three thousand people. Music was furnished on the grounds by the Terryville Cornet Band, and in the Hall by Messrs. Frary of Winsted and Dayton of Wolcottville Much credit is due MT Chas s. Barber president of the society and others for their untiring zeal and efforts to secure a good show creditable to the society and town. One pleasant feature of the day was an exhibition of horsemanship by gentleman and lady riders.-Herold.

Washington.

On Friday last, a repleviu case came of before Justice Odell, between Thomas O'Hara, and Armond Olmsted. A COW of O'Hara's had been impounded by Olm- sted and was replevied, On the trial it appeared that the latter had neglected to give the notice within the twenty four hours required by the statute. This omis- sion made the impounding illegal, and judgment was rendered in favor of O'Hara for damages and costs amounting to about s9. Merrill, for O'Hara; Turrill for Olmsted.
 The depot at the New Preston station has been removed to it's new location. The depot grounds have been nicely grad- ed and the new road is now completed leading to Washington. This is a great improvement The old depot stuck up on stilts in the mud, combined about all the inconveniences possible. The build is not as good now as the business of the station requires. No doubt, when the company begins to declare dividends they will give us depot suited to the wants of the best paying station on the line be- low Litchfeld. The new road will be a great convenience. It makes longer line between Washington and New Pres ton than the old turnpike; but it is level whereas that is terrifcally hilly.
 | The Washington chorus is making thorough work of the Creation and it is expected that that marvellous work" will be ready for production by the mid dle of November. 4
 Several parties have lately been pros- pectlng for timber, on the line of the She paug road. There is no district in the state as finely wooded as the mountain along this road, and the indications are that the magnificent Oak, Hickory, Chest nut and Maple trees now so gorgeous in thlre autumn foliage will soon be cleared off. Woodruf's factory is already receiy- ing car loads of Hickory logs, which are worked up into axe and pick handles; and of oak, manufactured into truck frames &c. Elm for wheel hubs has been ship ped in considerable quantities to Bridge port and New Haven carriage companies.
 It is rumored that Marketable people have sued the town for the proposed road around School House hill: more litiga- tion; more roads; more taxes!

Thomaston.

On Saturday fast, murder was commit ted in Thomaston. A negro woman named Bradshaw killed Mrs. Margaret Jackson with an axe. It appears that two or three years ago the former who is the wife of William Bradshaw, was taken to the Middletown insane asylum. After an eighteen months stay at the asylum she returned to her husband, between whom and Mrs. Jackson an improper connection had sprung up. ''At about half past seven, Saturday morning" says the Palla- dium, 'Mrs. Jackson went over to Brad shaw's house, and got into quarrel with Mrs. Bradshaw Tine latter caught up an axe and struck Mrs. Jackson, inficting a cut on the left side of the neck six inches long and two OF three inches deep. Not satisfied with the terrible blow, she in- fiicted another on the left side of the un- fortunate woman's face, down to the low CT part of her jaw, and third wound across the left arm, about three inches long, penetrating the bone." The mur- deress then went out in the field where her husband was at work and told him she had killed Mrs. Jackson. Dr. Pease was called, who made an attempt to sew up the wounds, but the cut in the neck had severed an artery and the woman died on Sunday morning. The deceased wos ahoi1k twantv-fiva vaars ol1
 The court of probate issued an order directing Dr. Pease to examine into Mrs. Bradshaw's condition of mind; and he pronounced her insane, and on Saturday afternoon she was taken to Middletown. Three or four years ago she assaulted her mother, and came near taking her life.

We have before adyerted to the terrible Eisk the railroad employe seems to run. On the Boston & Albany road, last year, fffty-ave persons were killed, ftfy-one of whom were employees of that company. They drop of. one or two at time, in the regular course of business, and no noise is made about is Most of these en- ployes are brakemen destroyed, often without any special carelessness on their part in the dangerous business of coup ling cars.
 That vas very unfortunate distinction made by the law courts which holds a railroad company liable for negligence in- turing passengers, but not for negligence inluring their own employees. Had the companies been liable the latter case. there would certainly have been some var devised, long before this, forayoidinr ths risks of the present method of coup ling cara

If we must have Democrats in Congress let us have good ones. Such an one we recognize in s. s. Cox, recently nominat- ed to succeed the late James Brooks. Mr. Cox is one of the ablest, most experi- eDced. most genial of the Democrats who have figured in Congress ''since the del uge." He was a little too familiar with the Ring. but he was not compromised by the Credit MObiier, so that, on the whole. he is rather of model of Congress siOnal purity.
 The success of the Democracy in Ohio has this redeeming feature that it returns one of the very ablest and purest men in ths U. s. Senate for another six years, in Mr. Thurman. Our majority in that body is altogether too large to behave well. 50 that Mr. Thurman's gain is moi cur loss.

He is now engaged in restoring ME. Seward's reputation to it's proper level. after its recent ''wnting up" ey Mr. Charles Francis Adams. He ac- cuses Mir. s. of having undertaken to ''6Oss the job" of running Mir. Lincoln $ administration. without much reference t0 his official colleagues. Mir.
