The Ragmuffins of this place went to New Milford on Saturday, the 9th inst, in answer to @ challenge from the Pas times of that place, to play match game of ball. The weather being fine and the prospect of an interesting game being good, many assembled on the grounds, about mile from town, to witness the match. The game was called at 2:35, P. M., by the umpire with the New Preston boys at the bat. Owing to the absence of three of the New Prestoners, players some what out of practice had to be taken to fill the vacancies, but the game was we'll contested, as will be seen by the follow ing score -..--. .. .......-..

l McCosh, of Princeton, was deservedly severe at the meeting of the National Ed ucational Association, last week, on the Agricultural College sham. He says Cor nell got near million from the govern ment as an agricultural college, and grad mated two agricultural students this year. "We all know" he says, ''that Sheffield School is doing much good, though cer- tainly not in the way of rearing agricul- tural pupils; but why should it get all and the other institutions of Connecti- cut be left to struggle without State aid !? Why should the excellent college at New Brunswick, managed by few Dutchmen, get $50, 900 year, and Princeton College, with its new school of science, receive nothing?" Under such a condition of things he objects to giving ninety millions more to such '.agricultural'' colleges. He considers it highly proper that this money should be appropriated to the support of high schools, except at the South, where he thinks at least half should go to help their struggling common schools. @ On Friday terrible disaster occurred on the Potomac just below Washington. The steamer Wawassett, going down the river, was found to be on fire about noon. The flames had apparently been smoul- dering sometime, and became unmanage- able soon after they were discovered. There were about 15O passengers on board and two small boats. one of which swamp ed in launching. The steamboat was run aground about 200 yds. from the shore and there were plenty of life preservers but they were in part of the vessel that could not be reached on account of the flames, so that only two are said to have been used. The loss of life was great among the passengers especially among the women and children who comprised about half of the list of passengers. The number of persons known to have been drowned is over sixty. The officers of the steamer have been exonerated by the coroner's jury, but the woful state of unpreparedness, and the want of proper order, that left the vessel practically with out boats or life preservers. tells very different story.

 Colds s'Mills,'' for good reasons are standing idle; the first IS, that there is no water to turn the wheel; the second is that the large quantity of corn and oats in store is every day increasing in value and had better lie where 1t is than to be ground, even if there was water to grind it. The third reason is that the miller (Peter Fritz) has found that he can make money faster in the hay fields in Litch- field at two dollars day and board than he can in lying at the spigot in Cornwall.
 The first casting at the new foundry in West Cornwall took place on the 9th of August. The dam across the river which was so badly torn in pieces by the ice is just now put in good repair.
 A few days since Wilber Scoville was set upon by savage dog with which he was trifing, and severely bitten both in the hands and lower limbs. It was only by prying his mouth open with board that his hold was broken. It did not seem to occur to him that the sharp edge of an ax driven into his head would have been much quicker and easier.
 Almost the entire community sustain the judgments of the Court in the fine and imprisonment of Fritz, for assault on his wife and contempt of Court; and all attempts at releasing him by Habeas Corpus, or by calling the County Com missioners, has ceased, so that the majesty of the law is triumphant, the safety of the community and the best good of the prisoner secured, and it is believed that it will be long time before another at tempt will be made to run rough-shod over the decision of Court in Cornwall. 1 -Dibble Hill is highly excited.
