New Preston.

The, annual Christmas gathering in New Preston on Friday evening, was, as usual. well attended. and the audience were apparently satiaied with the weatL- CT, the dramatic performances, the sing ing, the refreshments, as we'll as the joy and happiness which frightened all caun- tenances. A committee was appointed to solicit contributions of money and cloth ing for those who are suffering in conse- quence of the ravages of the locusts in the West. Mir. s. w. Meeker, Mrs. Walter Burnham, Mrs. Eleanor Woodruff, and 8. J. Averill were appointed to collect and forward. The railroads forward all ap- propriate articles free; we therefore recon mend the subject to the Litchfield county people for consideration. The widows mite. or much more, may do much good.

Eairbanks' Scales.

The contract for furnishing the Post Office Department with about 5000 weigh ing scales, necessitated on account of the new law, which goes into effect January 1, has been awarded to Messrs Fairbanks & Go. of this city. The order is large one, and has to be filled within short space of tune. But the contractors have abund- ant facilities for meeting their angage- ment, and it is great relief to know that for once at least the government will be sure to get it's moneys worth.-N r.
 World, Dec. 23d.
 The fame of the Fairbanks in the mat ter of scales is so well established as hard ly to need any additional comment there on from us. They manufacture them of all grades from the great railroad scales to such small ones as serve to deal out the mail matter of the whole country. The foregoing is one of the greatest orders ever filled in that line and Messrs Fair banks may well be proud of it.

The New JalI Again.

The New Milford Ray devotes column, last week, to the proposed new jail. Its chief objection is curious one: "It is admitted that very soon the county must have both a new jail and @ new court house," ergo, build neither, says the Ray, for we mean to remove the county seat soon, and every new county building in Litchfield would then be useless. Is the new District Court so unsatisfactory leu, that its abolition IS demanded al- le ldy? Do the dockets and court reports of this county show such an amount of business as calls for the erection of two new oourt-houses and two new jails?
 Undoubtedly a new courthouse, here, would be a convenience. A new jail IS a necessity. Moreover, the suspicion that the call for it originates here is unfound- cd. The three county commissioners be- ing specially cognizant of the necessity. have themselves moved in the matter. They all sign the call for representatives meeting; yet one is a resident of North Canaan, another of Barkbamsted, and the third of Woodbury-points certainly as far removed as could we'll be from Litsh- field influence.
 The editor of the Ray. being q very re cent arrival in this county, naturally takes the narrow view of this ques- ton which is, we are sorry to believe, prevalent in this immediate locality. We hope to see e more liberal spirit manifest ed elsewhere.

Hundreds of times he had been seen in our streets with staff in hand-and often with saw-horse on his shoulder careful ly feeling his way along towards some place to which he wished to go. Some times he followed his avocation at night while others were enjoying sweet repose. Billy was naturally smart. It was reuark. ed by one that ''he had anoble forehead. ,. Unfortunately he had become somewhat addicted to strong drink and to occasion. al profanity. During the most of his so- lourn here he had home at William A. Smiths; but Mir. Smith having died a short time since and Billy having become quite i'll. it was deemed best to remove him to the poor-house. place of which he had often expressed the greatest dread and abhorrence.

 WAsHrNGToS. Dec. q, 1874.
 We seldom urge the consideration of the temperance question, but we now de- sire to state one fact and let it speak for itself. For some years young man had been resident of this place, and was real ly q very industrious well-behaved fellow, but occasionally he would have what his comrades called "a spree" during which he would be totally different from his so- Der self. About three months since he had one of those "sprees," and was so quarrelsome and troublesome that his employer discharged him. Soon after, we saw him standing in the door of sa- loon in New Preston looking very badly. He had been an inmate of our family at one time and it was painful to see him so different from his old self, and we hearti- ly wished that there were no saloons, or grog shops or railroad men, to furnish our young men with the ruinous poison. That was the last time We ever saw him. The next we heard he had died of small pox in New York, where he had gone for en- ployment. But for liquor he might now have been living where he was doing we'll for himself and his employer. But this Is not all. Between three and four weeks ago his mother came up from New York bringing some of his clothes, and it IS said putting some of them upon a younger brother of the deceased. That brother has been very sick with the same disease, but is likely to recover. The town authorities have taken all necessary precautions to prevent the disease spread ing since it has been known that the boy was i'll, but many fear that miscnief was done before the thing was known to any but the family. We hope that all are more scared than hurt, but shall await the next Sunday with some anxiety. The doctor says that if there are no new cases before that time, the community is safe, but it is useless being frightened to death. Some twenty two ol twenty.three years ago, there were grea many cases of small pox in town, whicl were called French Measles or chlcker pox but not one death occurred from i under that name, though some might have died had they known that they had small pox. The name is of itself terror, bu ''what's in a name?" The disease is no so dreadful as it was in old times, anG with people of temperate habits is now seldom fatal. NJ.
