MR. EDITOR: "I think he will carry this island home in his pocket and give it to his son for an apple"
 So wrote Shakespeare in the Tempest" the scene of which is laid here, and fancy be has expressed the feelings ot many a traveller to Bermuda.
 Since the last letter of your Bermuda correspondent. he has been pretty well over the islands, and seen what there is to see. St. Georges, on the island of the same name, is the old capital, and the oldest place here. It is quaint old town and has fine harbor at one extremity of the island. At the other end of the long chain, is one called Ireland, where there is an extensive naval establishment and large floating dock t2O feet in length. The towing of that out from England in safety was an aston ing feet of seamanship. Near the centre of the islands h what is called Bermuda Proper, is Warrington Sound. lake of salt water, shaped very much like the one at Lakeyille. but about four times as large. On its shores are the singular caves, one of the slions" of the island
 The water of the lake itself, like all sea water here, is clear as crystal, and need not shrink from comparison with the limpid waters of Salisbury. The crops are good here. Carts laden with onions and pota- toes, going to the New York steamer, pass you constantly on the road.
 We sympathize somewhat with the late spring in the United States, and persons tell me they never have known it SO cold a this season. In fact, at times, in the early morning, the mercury has marked COG which would not, think, however, fright en a resident of Litchfield Go.
 The climate here is subject to sudde1 changes, but not very great ones. It is very damp climate, and while healthy for person merely delicate, is not Gin my judg ment) the place to send one who alread, has lung trouble, or who is predisposed t rheumatism. say this, for fear what have written might mislead invalids. S damp is it here that clothes are very apt l. mildew, and the only merchants who hay unspotted kid gloves here for sale kee them in bottles!
 still think there are good openings her for enterprising settlers who need a milde climate on the score of health. There are, fancy, however, obstacles in the way of pul chasing land, and perhaps little to be rente orleased. As in all other strange places me- have to enquire before deciding.
 As restful place for one needing rest As a place of refuge from such tryin weather as you must (from all accounts have been having this spring. can endors Bermuda. Sarana.

PROF. FowLERs GREATEST WoRK.-The National Publishing Company, of Phila- delphia, have just issued very important and valuable work, by Prof. O. $. Fowler, on Manhood, Womanhood, and the mutual interrelations Love, its Laws, Powers, etc. It is masterly exposition of the laws which control the relations of the sexes, and their duty towards each other, and it is not asserting too much to pronounce it the most valuable and timely book publication of the age. "Know thyself!" was the pro- found injunction of the ancient sage, and it is the neglect to comply with this precept which causes nearly all the misery and sick ness of the world. It is astonishing to find how utterly ignorant men and women, oth- erwise accomplished and intelligent, are concerning themselves. This book is pure and elevated in it's style and ideas, and fur nishes practical solution of many of the most perpleXing questions of life. It should be read by the young and old, by the married and single. It touches upon questions and discusses them thoroughly, in which every married person is interested. All friends of morality and purity in social life will hail the advent of Professor Fow- ler's book with delight, and those who seek information upon the curious and tragic features of domestic life, those who would study human nature stripped of it's marks and disguises, will find this volume the best hand book in existence. The low price at which it is issued brings it within the reach of all, and every person who wants to arrive at proper understanding of the true rela- tions of the sexes, should procure copy. It is sold by subscription only, and agents are wanted in every county.

West Cornwall. We hear that MT. Porter, of Lee, Mass, has bought out the stock of drugs, Yankee notions, &c., of the late Geo. H. Wheaton, and will take possession of the premises next Monday. He will also take charge of postotfice under c. E. Baldwin as F. M...
 Benj. Cole was brought before T. L. Hart, Esq, Monday, May l2th, on charge of assaulting Geo. Beck's boys, and was fined one dollar and costs. It seems that Beck's boys were fishing near Coles house, and got into dispute with the latters boy, and Cole drove them off and threw their fish poles into the river, hence the suit. We think fifteen dollars and thirty three cents just little too much to charge Ben. ......Joseph Foulke, Jr.. and family have arrived in town, and now occupy the Sedg wick House as permanent summer resi- dence. ''Joe' is as genial as ever, and is particularly waiting for chance to take Il fine woodc ock on the wing, soon as the law is off......The w. c.

The foundry is nearly ready for the slate roof, and when completed will be quite an imposing structure. ..... "Boodle" caused the arrest of 'Frenchy" last week for burning the old "Burnham house." which was burned down about three years ago. WLer the case came to trial, ''Lije Warmer ''Boodle's" principal witness, made the startling statement that t'Boodlc" had pait him two dollars to swear that "Frenchy' burnt the house, and showed what h, claimed to be the identical two dollar bill Of course this was ''stunnel" to the pros ecution, and "Frenchy" was acquitted without further trIal. 'Lijc" is sort o an impecunious "sritter," and no doub the two dollars looked like fortune tt him, but when he came to be placed on tn, witness stand, either his courage failed hin or his moral convictions were such that ht resolved to tell the truth and clee ''Frenchy."

RAILROAD MATTERS. seems to be something of misunderstanding between the railroad men of tho West and the farm CTS, the latter claiming that they are com pelled to pay such exhorbitant tariffs, they cannot live. This is indeed an unpleasant state of affairs, but as railroad men gen. eralTS are very fair dealing class of our business population, it is hoped the matter will be adjusted satisfactorily to all con cerned. Very applicable indeed is the above statement of the business honor of railroad men, to those who have the man agement of our western railroads. If among them is found d superintendent who is 80 destitute of business honor and hon esty as to sch the official patronage of which he has control, as for instance the office of passenger conductor for the paltry sum of $500, he is at once pronounced unworthy a position among honorable rail- road managers. and the conductor, whose only qualification for the office is his abili- ty to pay that $500, is not recognized among the craft as @ member.

Ore Hill.

1 saw in the columns of your paper of last week, also the week before, an article from Ore Hill, one by triple stars, another by an anonymous correspondent. The first wondered why something was not said about the new depot and school house, and in order to satisfy the curiosity of the form CT will give brief description of each. The new depot recently erected is all that could be asked for; it is large building situated in the centre of the village, is about 40x5e feet, 1 should think, which gives room for good sized store house and two other rooms of likewise dimensions. The one is used for the accommodation of passengers, and the other for an office for the Brook Pit Mining Go. The railroad company could well afford to give us a building like this, as we can boast of send ing more freight from this place than any other station between Hartford and Miller ton, during the past year,. The new school house is another beautiful building erected during the winter, and adds much to the many attractions of this place, and we can
 
 nished building as anyother town in the country around us. All seem to feel proud of it, not only the parents, but children also. The school is under the supervision of two competent teachers ana bids fair to rank among the first in town. It numbers about 90 scholars. The anonymous cor. respondent must be mistaken, or wrongly informed about the mining of this place, and hope he or she will pardon me for cor recting little. In the first place it said that the men employed by the Chattield Mining Co. were Italians, which was quite mistake, for the most of them can boast of the best blood that ever came from the ark, and think it an insult to be called Ital- ians, and the men are under the supervi- sion of MT. John Landon of Falls Village, who was boss of the hands employed by the Ames Works situated in that place. MT Harris being superintendent of the farming and mining business excepting the boss over the men. This company employs about 50 men and 22 horses, and will soon commence to send ore. The first part of the season has been occupied by building, which is the carse of their being later than usual in raising the mineral. The buildings consist of washer building and dwelling houses for the men. The Brook Pit will probably send large quantity of ore this season, as they have commenced with their usual vigor, employing 45 men, also 2l horses and carts. MT. Hoysradt, the over seer, calculates to give the ore bed fits this year. Mr. M. Gibbs, who has been in the employ of Barnum Richardson Co.,, also $ resident of this place the past year, left us on Tuesday, much to the regret of his many friends, for Negauaee, Michigan. He is still in the employ of the same company and will occupy the position of book-keep CT, which he we'll merits. He is very promising young man, and has always proved himself gentleman of the strctes integrity, temperate in all bis habits, ant one of society's brightest ornaments. w wish him pleasant journey and success ii all his undertakings.
