Since our last issue the Enquirer office has received long needed improvement in the shape of an addressing machine.
 This invention enables us to send out our edition without danger of skips, or of miscarriage from nasty direction. It also saves us the trouble of sending ont sub scription bills, and returning receipts, while each subscriber will always know the exact condition of his subscription, and every paper he receives is of itself a receipt. For instance, the direction ''J. Jones, IT apr 73" tells Mir. Jones that his subscription expired on the 17th of April last; and, on his renewal, his next-and all subsequent papers-will show that his subscription is paid till Apr. IF, 1874.
 A dagger" after the date signifies that the paper is to stop at the expiration of the subscription.
 Subscribers will Oblige us by giving immediate notice in case of any mistake in address or date of subscription.

The Winsted Press reproduces Sun attack on the President changing him with driving a showy equipage at Long Branch. The N. r. Tribune will not be considered too lenient a judge of the Presidents con duct, nevertheless it's correspondent has the fairness to speak as follows regarding the Presidents style of living at Long Branch sszs=.zzs=ssas--ssssss aszzas=a..s
 Gen. Grant, has the reputation of being an extrayagant iver-a reputation which. by the way, I regard as unjust. Here his manner of living is noted only for its lack of extravaganza and ostenta- tion. His life is as quiet and unpretend- ing as that of the most modest cottager. His cottage IS by no means the grand af- fair that was described during the heat of political contest. It sets back from the road some distance. and is of subdued order of architecture, a sort of mixture of English villa and Swiss chalet. Its colors are dingy, and it's general appearances by no means as attractive and costly 1s is supposed. Nevertheless, while it would be taken for the residence of quiet gen. tleman of position and taste, it does not appear to be unbecoming the President whose life here IS so quiet and unobtru- sive. Nobody would know, from hisanan- her of living and his personal intercourse with the citizens of the Branch, that Gen. Grant occupied higher station in the world than his neighbors. p5ftesst
 Whatever may be said against Gen. Grant and his administration of the Gov ernment, 1t cannot be said that his man. ner of living at Long Branch is unbecom- ing or ostentatious. The family of the President have placed themselves upon the same level as other cultivated and respectable families. There is no exclu- sion whatever .i e"
 The Press evidently has one of the first rules of its art to learn: the more Sun. the less lightl ti.:-..... The Connecticut Literary Institute at Sufield seems to be. literally patronized from this vicinity. We notice the follow ing names credited to towns south and west of us: .l -... ...- ...rF .

 We do not know how the Trustees are chosen but it strikes us that eight from the city of Hartford which sends but four scholars, two from Stamford which seeds none, and no trustee from Litchfeld coun- ty which sends quite handsome delega- tion, is not so judicious a selection as might be made. We notice among the trustees the name of John D. Candy, of Bridgeport. This is an improvement. This natural sweetness of the editor of the Standard usually finds but imperfect expression in the spelling, Candee.
 For particulars of commencement of term &c., see advertisement.
 There were only three newspapers published in Litchfeld county when the war closed. Now there are eight. Yet the population of the coun- ty foreigners and all, has not increased one half of one per cent The native population has largely decreased. Courant

Every one has seen something of the proposed balloon voyage across the Allan tIc of Prof. Lowe, the @ronaut. He wants to form select party for the trip, and has already received refusals, to the gen. eral regret of the public, from MT. c. A. Dana and Gen. B. F. Butler. Others must be found to take their places. Now it is usual of late at Church Fairs to hold all election, at ten cents a vote, to decide which is the prettiest girl, the most pop ular pastor, or the favorite beau of the vicinity. Why cannot our Congregation al friends, at their coming fair, elect some one to sail with Prof. Lowe? The only objection that occurs to us is that unless the editor of the Sentinel will decline in advance none of the rest of us would have ghost of chance. '.
 Since writing the above an advt. of the fair has come in from which it will be seen that our suggestion can readily be adopted. --+'.....,
 On Saturday afternoon Litchfeld Picked Nine played the Northfield club and very close game was the result. The Northfeld men came over two hands short, whose places were supplied by Truman Catlin, (who lives near the line) and John Hubbard (whose father, 'Psiph says, once owned land in that Society). At the end of the sixth inning the Litch- field boys were four ahead. In the sev- enth, however, Northfeld scored six Litchfeld, but one. Neither side tailed in the eigth inning, and in the ninth Litchfeld scored four, making it necessa- " for Northfield to double their previous average to win. This they did, and six more, winning, 9 to IS. The pitching of Mower and his catching in left field where he captured four flies. two in one innng,
 were remarkably effective. The fielding was quite good on both, sides. The fol- 1 lowing IS the score: ..4t es l,s,t 4e....
