The Poughkeeksie & Eastern rail road, which continues the Conn. Western to Poughkeepsie, is to be sold on mort gage on the 12th of March. No through rates for freights from Chicago to Boston over the Conn. Western have yet been agreed upon, and the prospect of agree ment is small. The proportion it is pro- posed to allow this short road, and one upon which haulage is so expensive, will not pay expenses, much less a profit, it is said.

WAsH1NGroN Feb. 18th. 1875.


 The noticeable event of last week was the performance by our Dramatic Associ- ation of ''She Stoops to Conquer" The play was announced for Friday night and fair audience convened, though very many who desired to attend were prevent ed by the terrible travelling. Horses that were freshly calked could keep their feet in proper positions, but sleighs played all sorts of drunken antics and while some people proposed going directly to old Judea, they found themselves proceeding in just the contrary direction. Very many dared not make the attempt They lost good thing. Tony Lumpkin was admirably represented, and upon him rested all the burden of success. A youth from Winsted took the character, and his face perfectly expressed the jolly reckless fellow Goldsmith must have had In his mind when he wrote the play. The young ! scapegrace contriyes in the most comical manner to misdirect two gentlemen and sends them to his digniied father-in-law's mansion under the impression that they are going to an inn, outwits his designing mother, gets his cousin into one dialem- ma and out of another, and is at the same time the good and evil spirit of the two lovers, Miss Neville and MT. Hastings. Young Marlow is the destined husband of Miss Hardcastle, and is too difident to look at her when introduced, but finally makes love to her boldly enough suppos- ing her to be an inferior She carries on the deception until she ~ins his heart and thus ''Stoops to Conquer" Each char acter was we'll acted, and for ihe sake of the disappointed we hope and believe the play will be repeated.

M. Order to apply on subscription. I have just been reading Gunn's little ''ser- mon" on Dramatics (which reminds me- that have been trying to analpze with out magnifying glass to be sure) the evils of the Drama as presented in Parlor Theatricals and "Home Plays" My att tention has been called more sharply to it, from the fact that almost the only enter tainments of the Young Mems Library Association that have proved always suc- cessful-and we could count on sure, have
 been of this character-although we have had Camilla Urso, Scott Siddons and les- ser lights with Festivals and ct cetera. Having read play called Joseph and his Bretheren" and being impressed with the amount of sharp lined, clear cut infor- nation, contained in the scenes, costumes, customs and manners of those days, cal culated to impart information to old and young by these "object 1essons''-which few will ever learn in this world-of that most interesting portions of the Scriptures, I began to question why it was that the devil should have monopoly" of SO many of the good things of this world that seemed innocent on the face of them. Not arriving at very definite conclusion, and needing funds to replenish the s. s. Li- brary, I proposed in place of our usual Christmass entertainment in the church, (whish had been rather boisterous) an in- nocent play-that would yield rerenae with entertainment-and met at once the old prejudice. from a''Way Down-Easter, !" who didn't believe in Theatres and did not think it wise ''to bring your Pump kin-seed Theatres into church, calling them harmless because they were sim ple."-So I subsided, concluding if I must be in the wrong, it was best to be in the wrong on the right side. defering to wisdom and age, and dismissed the matter. Still I find it has an element of Banquois Ghost in it. A.

Repairs, Debentures. and a New
 JaII.

The Convention of County Representa- tives which met here, Hast week. have been considerably censured in the papers for their extreme economy in the matter of jail repairs and their extreme iberality in the matter of debenture bills, which, by the way, amounted to $40, not $500. as stated. The Statute provides that ''each member of the General Assembly shall receive three hundred dollars" The county representatives voted themselves 8 per day, and 10 cents per mile travel ing expenses. Some of the opponents of this reform" remarked that they could have found just as much warrant in our statutes for voting themselves a farm apiece, as for voting themselves a per diem and mileage. What they were en- titled to, it strikes us, was their actual expenses; but to vote themselves pay, to just such an amount as seemed best in their own eyes. certainly does not seem the correct thing. Still, they have the practice of representative meetings in oth- CT counties in justification of their action.
 The fact that the coming of our present sheriff into office cost the county about $500 year, was brought out on questions put to the commissioners, but no action was taken with regard to the matter.
 The important question of building a new jail is, in effect, postponed. The committee appointed to examine into the matter were convinced that a new jail would be needed in the near future. The plan of billing up prisoners, state-room fashion, in cots one above the other, in the narrow cells of our present jail, cannot be considered as anything more than tenn porary expedient. No system of repair could be devised that would not involve most of the expense and none of the ad- vantages of new jail. The only obiec- tions advanced to immediate action were the "hard times and the fact that the matter had not been sufficiently canvassed throughout the county and brought to the attention of the people. The excuse of poverty cannot be a very serious one. A county tax of one mill on the dollar will raise near $27, 900, about the sum requir- ed for new jail on Mir. Stark's estimate.

THE London NetOS in an article upon
the reception Of Mr.. Carl Schulz in Ber-
lin pays the distinguished journalist
and statesman q meTited compliment,
saying that 'he .ought.to be welcome in
Germany, for he has represented the in
tellect and the political influence Of his
country with admirable effect in the
United States. We need hardly ssy
how strong and widely spread is the
German influence in America. It has
made less talk abroad and at home than
the Irish influence, but is steadily and
rapidly growing to be much more pow
erful. There is somethinglstrange in the
phenomenon of that double allegiance,
that double nationality which is illus
trsted by the German population Of the
United States. For two or three gener-
atoms, at all events, the native Ian
gusge holds its equal place with the
new tongue, as the love OF the old land
is kept up, fervid aud unfading, amid all
the enthusiasm Of the devotion to the
flag Of the new country. The habits
and the literature OF Germany are car
ried to The adopted home. The German
in New York has his beer-gardens, his
gymnasium, and his theater, where he
can hear Shakespeare and Sehiller,some-
times interpreted by such artists as See
bach and Janauscheck. He has his
newspapers, his illustrated periodicals
and his music, and he has introduced
many Of his ways aud peculiarities into
American society and his phrases into
American politics."
