The Granny in Weeds.-MR. EDITOR: I noticed in THE NEWS of last week, a communication Of the Warren Widder to the editor, on account of being inquired for by her bosom friend, the talented, far famed, beautiful Luna. In contrasting the difference of refinement now existing in the fair sex, was amused at the particular taste, Luna's bolstered up, almost one year old widow has for, and the power of at traction she seems to feel there is, in her dairy, tobacco. dinner horn and old clothes. From her spelling we must conclude she was brought up in the woods; probably at tended Lunas first school at Kent, and from her teachers voice acquired the pro- nunciation of words, thinking she was smart enough to write without spelling. l also infer that her piano-forte must have been the pines; her music mad zephyr playing with their leaves, while she blowed her sweet breath through the little end of her horn. In conclusion, if Luna does not learn her to be more refined in her taste, I believe she will lose her market entirely, and as time rolls on her farm will grow up brier bushes, weeds and thistles, and Luna, for her negligence with remorse of con science, will be under the painful necessity ot seeing her, now bosom friend, lone granny in the weeds.

 John Leonard has been sent to iail in New Haven in default of fine of $l38 17 levied for selling liquor without license. He leaves wife with child only few days old entirely destitute and depending upon charity for support.
 Work began at the new Hotchkiss hard ware factory in Bridgeport on Monday. The building is not yet fully completed, but as the firm have large orders on hand they are anxious to push forward the manufac- ture of goods as rapidly as possible. When in full operation the firm will employ about 125 hands.
 Unusually cold nights for the season are reported in Holland county. A slight frost visited portions of Stafford and Willington on two nights the first of last week. Farm crops. with the exception of corn, are tol- erably forward. It wants another month of warm weather to insure an average corn crop in this state.
 Alluding to the statement that the She tucket river is we'll stocked with black bass the Woonsocket Patriot says: Probably so; but will that species of fish thrive and multiply in the Shetucket9 Like experi- ments in stocking various ponds and rivers in New England with black bass have been so decidedly unsuccessful.

HABITS OF MoLEs.-M. Flourens and oth- CT French naturalists have experimented with moles to ascertain their true habits. It has been found that they will starve to death in the presence of abundant vegetable food, refusing to touch it, but that they will greedily devour cutworms, earthworms, mice, and even small birds, when nearly starving in an inclosed jar. Of the birds they only deyoured the inside, but they de- voured indiscrimlnatelY each day of snails. insects, larvae, chrysalides, caterpillars, ad- ders, slow worms and lizards. Mir. Carl Vogt relates an instance of land propriet- or in France who destroyed every mole up on hls property. The next season his fields were ravaged with eutworms and his crops totally destroyed. He then purchased moles of his neighbors and stocked his fields, and afterwards carefully preserved them ss his best friends.

Es The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an a1ti- cle on How Mistakes Happen in Newspa- pers, figures up the number of type used in newspaper the size of the Eagle at 6OO,- 900, .. c., the actual number of bits of met
 al arranged and re-arranged every day in preparing newspaper of that size for the press. We suppose few people think of the printing trade as one of the most exact and particular of all the L Eandicrafts, but it is. In making type, variations that might be allowed in the finest machinery would render the type useless. It is very rarely that type furnished by two be used togeth- CT without great deal of trouble, though they try to make it after the same standard. We read once in while of won derfu
 piece of cabinet work, or mosaic work, con- taining ten, twenty or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of which has spent months, or even years of labor in producing it, and people go to see it as a great curiosity, but the most elaborate and carefully fitted piece of work of this kind ever made does not compare with that which the printer does every day, for minuteness of detail and ac- curacy of fitting. The man who does the first is looked upon as an artist-a marvel of skill, and if hundred of his pieces are put in wrong side up or turned the wrong way, it is not observed Tn the general et- fect-but if the printer, in fitting ten times as many pieces together in single day. puts one where another should be, or turns one the wrong way, everybody sees it and is amazed at the stupid carelessness of those printers.'

 Camp meeting has passed away, and with it the excitement attending it; 99 persons going from here to get their dollars worth of religion.

PETERS MUSICAL MoNTHLY.-We feel that we are doing favor to our readers by calling attention to this standard magazine, especially at the present time when our tables are flooded with the trashy produc- tions of the immoral, sensational press, as It is work every way fit to be introduced within the home circle. It is devoted to the publication of vocal and instrumental music, and can not help to elevate and re- fine wherever this extraordinary magazine is introduced. We say extraordinary be- cause it seems out of the usual way for a publisher to furnish his patrons with a monthly installment of the choicest new music, worth at least $4.OO, for the sum ot thirty cents. We wish the publisher every success which his enterprise so eminently deserves, for whether we regard the music al worth, or the cheapness of the magazine, it is not only the most useful, but the best of It's class.

Sheffield.
 Camp meeting is over, and again we re- turn to our usual quiet. Surely a kind
 Providence has smiled upon the meeting at Pine Grove this year, for falrer skies and
 brighter evenings are not often seen. Last Sunday seemed quite gala day; the usual quiet was broken by the continual passing of loaded teams en route for the scene at the camp ground. could not but imagine the various motives which drew the people there, and hearing much loud conversa- ton from the passers by, I judge the majority went to see and be seen,
 while few with honest purpose might have gone to hear and get benefit from the sermon. One man from near Sheffield Plain took his wife and family for Sunday recreation to the camp ground, and while passing through our village they found oc- casion to enjoy one of their familiar quar- rels, and he made profane the Sabbath air
 with fearful oaths, while the wife scolded this might have been amusing to some ob- servers, but to one knowing the sad history of this couple it was truly saddening-'tis hoped this unfortunate pair received some good while there and returned from the meeting with tempers soothed and good hu- nor restored. We are yet to be convinced that camp meetings for Sunday are just the thing in these days when churches are nu merous, for we are sure there is more fun sought h going, than good gained there. and then the sanctity of Sunday is entirely destroyed while going to and fro.... Rev. MT. Noble, Sr., preached at the Congrega- tional church to large and attractive audi ence, there being no service at the M E. Church, many from that society had the pleasure of listening to MT. Noble......Geo. A. Hoadley, A. B., of this town, leaves for his new field of labor this week. He goes to Argyle, N. Y., to become Principal of the Academy in that place The High school has re-opened with MT. Hall as teacher, and the district schools are now in session, save the Ashley Falls school, which will commence as soon as the new house is ready for use.."..Rev. A. P. Lyon of White Plains paid flying visit to his friends in Sheffield during camp meeting week, and made many hearts glad at the at the sight of his pleasant countenance here; but many regret that his visit was so short. Sheffield is favored this year in the visits of her former pastors. and we are glad to see them back again. The Ora matlc Club gave another entertainment on Friday evening, and acted London Assur ance' for the fifth time; some never tire of this play, and cease not to praise the part of Lady Gay......The reporter for the Springfield Union frequents Sheffield of late, and two reporters were in at Little's | store the other night.... ....News is scarce, ] and reporters plenty; so thinks JOHN,

Returning Prosperity.

Itis now nearly year since the business
 of the country was in great measure pros
 trated by the panic consequent upon the
 explosion of two or three extensive bubbles
 of speculation. In nearly every branch of trade, except agriculture, the year has been
 dull one. Merchants have bought with
 prudence and customers have retrenched in
 their purchases. Manufacturers have found
 their orders diminished and have stopped
 their wheels or rua on short time. There
 has been general effort to get out of debt and to do only the safest business, and bus iress men have been content with small
 profits or none. In the meantime there has
 been constant if slow uplift out of the slough of despond, until now everything is in readiness for fresh start ahead m pro duction. Money has become not only easy but abundant, and with the present feeling of security, capitalists are looking for prof itable investments, which, with our rapidly developing country. will soon be found. To set the wheels in motion It only needed the assurance of an abundant harvest, and of this there is no longer room to doubt. Notwithstanding the ravages of grasshop pers in certain portions of the west, trust worthy reports from all sections make it evident that the general harvest of this country will be above the average. At the same tune the best authorities estimate slight falling off in the European crops, which must lead to an increased exporta- tion. A plentiful harvest will inevitably bring revival in commercial activity. It means we'll filled pocket books and the sup plying of wants which have been neglected during the dull times of the past year. Ex- hausted stocks will be replenished. Some thing more than the mere necessities of life will be indulged in, and the renewed demand will send new life through all the veins and arteries of production. Abundant crops will also reduce the price of food, and po- litical economists have found in such reduc- tion cause of increased industrial prosper ity. All authorities thus agree that the coming season and year is to be one of profitable activity. Let us hope that the authorities are not denled, and that the re- suit may more than justify the prediction .Hartt0r6 Cou7 ant.
