 The annual meeting of of the Litchfeld South Constellation was held here on the first Tuesday in June. Every minister but eAe ip thes eonsoeiation, and three minissersnot members of the body, were present. The exercises were all more than usually interesting.

It appears that ''spell;ng matches like gaping, are catching. One of the former (and no doubt some of the latter, of the wonder kind) took place on Monday even ing, May 31st, in the 1st Congregational church. The spoilers numbered about forty. Two trials were had, the second one by choosing sides. Miss Elizabeth Wells was the last one up; at the last. Miss Anna Norton, who few weeks since received handsome prize for reading at the teachers meeting in Winsted. The words were picked by MT. Lyman D. Bald win, who had selected some six hundred for the occasion, more than double the number required. Itseerns somes hat re. markable that on both trials aU the spell CTS should have subsided within the space of about half an hour! In his younger days your correspondent received some little credit for spelling, but has conclud- ed not to show his skill-or the want of it-on the present occasion. However, being at about the last moment requested to take part in the exercise he joined in. He did not stand long, but consoles him. self with the thought that he beat the ed itor of the Enquirer, by not missing the first time round! Nov that we have had a sort of preliminary exercise, why not fol- low it up with spelling match worthy the name: a rOuser, with fifty spoilers on side, and some handsome prizes for the successful competitors? It would make both young and old pay more attention to their spelling books and dictionary, which have been too much neglected by the great majority of the people.

 No. 213 was left at the postofice at about ten a. m. on Tuesday, June, 1st. with the understanding that it was to be mailed soon afterwards. That it failed to reach its destination by both the noon and evening mails of that day, is one of those postoffice mysteries which not unfrequent- ly occur.
 On Monday, the 7th inst, one of the foremen in the brass mill, William Odell, came very near losing one of his hands. It was resting for moment on a wagon or truck used for conveying metal from one portion of the building to another, when another similar vehicle, laden with about ton weight, was rapidly propelled against the first mentioned one, striking the hand at the main joint of the little finger, which was badly bruised. After a rather dry spring, We received on the 7th a bonntiful and precious rain.-

An ATTEMPT To SHOOT DEPUTY
SHERIFF KENNEDY.--Yestcrday after
noon IL gentleman connected with T.
newspaper establishment III this city was
on sort OF "breezc, and raised con-
siderable excitement by attempting to
shoot Deputy Sheriff Kennedy. All the
particulars We could hear in relation to
the affair were these: Mr.. Kennedy was
seated in his buggy, which was standing
on market street, when the party refer
red to above approached him, and accused
him of being afraid to hang Taylor
Straudcr, at the same time prclaciug his
remarks with very insulting language.
Mr. Kennedy believing the man WAS
not in his right mind, and considering
discretion the better part of yalor, drove
off and proceeded to Sheriff Browns
office on Chapline street. He was follow
ed to the Sheriff Office by the same indI-
vidval, who again accused him and all con
nectcd with the office, of being afraid to
hang Straudcr, which of course was very
absurd and showed that the man knew
not what he said He got very demon
strative and finally drew revolver and
snapped it at Mr.. Kennedy, but fortu-
natelv it missed fire. wills then struck
his arm and knocked the pistol out of his
hand and took him in charge We I'M
dcrstand he will be taken before justice
and bound over to keep the peace.
We are compelled to publish the above
facts of the case in justice to all connect
ed with this establishment, rs We under
stand Mr.. Kennedy and several Of his
friends Stated that his aSsaiIant was en-
ployed at the REGISTER Office, and that
impression WAS prevalent on the streets
last night. OF course the person referred
to is not connected with this paper. We
suppress his name for obvious reasons.

Market street. have recently succeeded
in introducing the Steinway Upright
pianos in Wheeling, by the sale Of
several of those superior instruments to
some of our citizens.
The Upright Piano is, from It's small,
compact form and handsome exterior,
esnoriallv suited to the boudoir. the re-
c,ption room and the parlors of many
boIses where IA Grand or Square Pinno
conld not conveniently be placed.
Messrs. Stcinway " Sons nave, after
,onr and earnest study and experiments,
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fnrtes which are the most perfect ln-tru-
r,.n.s of their class ever constructed
Thc volume of tone j. fully equal 10 any

while the quality is of the most exquisite

Jmr,hility of these new Upright Pianos
md their capacity OF standing in tune, l.

T,n much cannot be said in favor Of
these instruments; in fact, they must be
