Tuesday, Aug. 9, 1874.

AuSoudI, mug. AcP AoIt
 MR. ED1ToR.-The New Preston news item clipped from your paper of Aug. l. is received from friend. As the psa- graph relating to the line survey of Like Waramaug in August '73. is slightly inc curate and rather incomplete, takehe liberty (and by the leave of 'Cognitio, who, I think, has a full report of the ST. vey) to offer corrections and additins HUI" tne orlglnaI notes ana figures hye 1 with me-
 me mean measurement was from ad to end on middle line, and is Is. 60 feet, which figures, after the correcton Of 'stray line" and ''windage" in log he, and compensation of angles &c., arere- duced to true result of F 1926 feet. ,e Ing three miles, three-eights and one hln- dred and six feet Q.3s0 feet more tlnn your paragraph calls for}. Soundi,gs was taken at every sixteenth of a mile. md resulted in an average depth of 29. f f,et. The deepest water is 41.7 feet, beanng east of Cheerie Point and about midway on the Lake. That depth is continuous on direct line west by south for about three-elghts of mile, then running ab- ruptly to shallow water to the sbora at "Marks Hollow" The bottom on either side of this line is very uneven, and the slope of sides in one or two places is nre- clpltous but generally shelving. The re- suits Of many soundings present a singu- lar set of figures, and is we'll worth fur ther investigation. Ipurpose at some fu- ture day, making thorough and complete soundings of the entire south end of the Lake, to find thousand and one" bottom levels. and the comnnsitinn af tho sasao taken on the shore as both sides are SO ir- regular that no satisfactory results eonIl be obtained to establish fair average
 The location of the Pinnacle" and the --,--.-7 l"s as given, is correct Those results being arrived at by careful reckonings and cal culations from observations with suitable instruments.
 Yours respect.

Western Parties.

Political indications at the West hardly justify the expectation that the Farmers s movement will lead to the organization of a strong third party. No doubt that ele- ment in the old parties has largely con- trolled nominations, and there will pro bably be great change in the Congress sional representation of the West on ac- count of it. Many strong Republican Districts will repudiate old leaders, and the Democratic regime Tn Missouri will be shaken if not overthrown by the union of Independents and Republicans. But there is no general organization looking to prolonged political career as third party. Western Republicans have shown willingness to grant all reasonable mea- sures of redress against railroad extortion. and their sincerity in this matter is likely to be tested by further lease of power. Should they daily with this issue they will no doubt be overthrown, but they are not likely to be discharged at once, with out further trial, as we had one time sup posed.
 The financial question occupies small CT space in public attention than any one could have expected from the heated de clarations of ''statesmen" in Congress, last winter. The Chicago Advance look ing coolly at this matter sums it up in the following sessible paragraph.
 The financial situation is very different from what the debates in Congress and discussions of the press during the ses- ion of Congress pretended, in this: there is very little actual difference of opinion in either party or in any section. Now here has contraction found 8 place in a platform; hardly anywhere has infiation been thus honored. It is perfectly evil dent that the American people are oppos- ed to both. Whatever variation there may be on minor points, there is remark able unanimity on the cardinal question of the volume of the currency. If our Congressmen profit by the lesson of the session, they will at their, next session abandon all agitation on this phase of the subject, and address themselves to more practical measures. On the surface the wheatless straw of last winters Congress sional discussions is still being threshed 1~..- '4~Asca UhuU 'oiLIier Uf UtIe' extremes them justly feared will gain the ascend ency in the Forty-fourth Congress.
 It is utterly impossible to guess at the political complexion of the next House of Representatives as yet. There will un- doubedly be great changes, and, we pre- sume, large Democratic and Independent gains, but we judge that the chances still favor the election Republican majority, though not large one.

CAPT. JOHNSON.

Not much news in this goodly town just at present. Indeed, there has been none hardly worthy of place in the Enquirer, unless we except the decided musical pro- clivities of the people. Just step into any. of our churches on Sunday norn- ing, and what do you see and hear A s'big' organ and few singers so isohted that they can show the congregation inst what they can do. The psalmody is we'll rendered, not leading the congregation in their deyotions, excepting when an old tune is used in which all may join. Then we have choruses from the masters, witch were written for hundreds of voices, ler- formed by these few under voluminous accompaniment, making them essentially organ choruses. But we cannot dwell here.
 Not quite a year since band of brass instruments came into existence, which was immediately followed by another, making good the adage, "Woodbury never does things by halves" The pleasant ri valry immediately commenced, has con. tinued to the present time, causing botl bands to practice almost necessarily, ana as result they may now be classsd among the best in the State. At all events thei, services have been in great requisitioi through the season at numberless private parties and public concerts, multitudes Q picnics and other social gatherings.
 Among the last, we may speak of tn surprise silver wedding of Hon. William Cothren and wife, at which about on hundred were present; also the surpris party at Mir. B. s. Russell's on the thii tieth anniversary of his marriage, and al so of the large gathering at MT. Roderid Atwood's. At this last place, as the larg. company arose from supper, an alarm of fire was sounded which proved tc be a barn containing fifteen tons oI hay, and owned by MT. Atwood, whic was consumed with its contents. Un doubtedly the work of an incendiary.
 The following items are from tn School Visitors report, viz: Childre registered, 3s5; average daily attendanet TIA; whole expense of Schools, S, ,272, ,8l Of thls sum, S3,OO1,61 are for teacheI wages; s229, ,91, for contingent expense The schools are now in the midst of prosperous fall term. The town expensI last year were $9,451 ,06.

Longevity of Lawvers.

MT. Wm. L. Ransom, Clerk of the Courts in this place. has for three years been gathering facts regarding mem- bers of the legal profession throughout the country who have been admitted to the bar fifty years or more He has two volumes of letters written by the aged lawyers of the country themselves, except In three instances only, where the services of an amanuensis were employed. In two of these three cases there were autograph signatures, Judge Robertson of Ky, alone being unable to sigin the letter himself
 The oldest member of the bar in the United States now living as far as MT. Ransom has been able to hear directly is the Hon: Horace Binney of Philadslphis, who WIS uuuIIUUc1 uuufCH IoUU! Tne next are Judge Willard Hall, of Wilmington, Del aware admitted in 1903. Judge Theron Metcalf, of Boston, (who studied law in this place) admitted in 1907; Hon. Henry ~ T-------e of fPhiladel-L:--1-., = 1909; Hon. Joseph H. Underwood, of Ken lucky, ex U. s. Senator, admitted in 1913; Hon Samuel A. Foote. of Geneva, New York, admitted in 1913; and Judge Ether Shepley, of Maine, admitted in 1914. Among the noted names ill these vol umes we find those of the late Judge Sam uel Nelson, of the U. s. Supreme Court; Professors Joel Parker. Q815) and The ophilus Parsons, of the Cambridge Law School; Judge Reed, of Philadelphia; Judge Edward Kent, of Bangor, Maine; Judge George M. Stroud, of Philadelphia; Hon. Humphrey H. Leavitt, of Ohio, ex Member of Congress and late Judge of the US. District Court; Hon. Rufus F. .Spauld- ing, Member of Congress from Ohio; Hon. John Ruggles, of Maine, formerly U. s. Senator; Hon. John Garland, Member of Congress from Virginia; Hon. Highland Hall, Governor, of Vermont; Hon. James A. Bayard. U. s. Senator from Delaware; Judge l.. Q. 0. Elmer, of the U. s. Dist rict Court of New Jersey; Hon. Samuel Ingham, of Essex, Member of Congress from Connecticut; Hon. Bellamy Storer, Member of Congress from Ohio; Hon. John Law, Member of Congress from Ind jana; Robert Hawes, Member of Congress from Kentucky; Hon. William Law, of Savannah, Georgia Qs15); with many oth- CT names noted in the profession.
 ! We are particularly struck with the
 firm hand writing of most of these aged lawyers, particularly with that of the Hon.
 Horace Binney, of Philadelphia, who was
 admitted to the bar over seventy-three
 years before the date of his letter. Prof
 Parker, Judge Reed, and Messrs. Free
 man and Chase, all write clear, strong
 hands very remarkable in people of sucl
 advanced age.
 A few of the gentlemen above mention ed have died since writing the letters re
 ferred to above, but most of them stil
 survive as witnesses to the longevity tt which lawyers seem to attain.
 MT. Ransom has heard of several more
 old lawyers whose residences he coult not, however, obtain. The oldest living lawyer of whom he has been able to hea, is Judge Ebert Herring of New York said to have been admitted in 1797, ant , | who must be nearly an hundred years o age.
