and artistically. .'The Loan of Lover' was very nicely performed. The ladies' parts were remarkably well sustained by Misses Beers and Ray. NIT. Train did Spike to perfection; Lieut.. Colvocoresses seemed at home in the part of Captain; Mir. G. M. Woodruff enacted the ancient and decayed lover with grace that sur prised his friends; while Mir. D. Richards developed unexpected talent as an agri- culturist. There was splendid horticul. tural display in one part of the piece such as no one but an ex-president of the Litchield County Agricultural Society could have engineered The Loaf of Lover was followed by some pretty pieces in pantomine, and the entertainment clos ed with the farce of Box and Cox which was very we'll performed by Messrs. Now CT and Bostwick, Miss Dotterer proving a really magnificent "Mrs. Bouncer." About the only adverse criticism we hear was that the genteel comedy was perhaps trife too genteel, the actors not being plainly audible in the back of the house. The farce was not open to that criticism.
 The music furnished by Miss Gibbud and MT. Meafoy was very agreeable fea- ture of the entertainment.
 The receipts were very satisfactory amounting to over $125, we hear. We hope that the Dramatic company will not stop with this single success but will give us other like entertainments.
 The following acknowledgement speaks for itself. We shall be glad to print more of the same sort: y

WASHINGTON, August 9th, 1875.

MIR. EDrToR:-The Washington nine visited Litchfield on Friday, the 9th, and played a game with the Red Caps of Northfield. For the first five innings the game was very interesting, and sharply played on both sides. But the labors of the morning appeared to have been too much for the Red Caps, for during the last four innings they seemed utterly de- moralized, and changed their felders around in the most reckless fashion. Our nine feel confident that their Fridays op- ponents can show to much better advan- tage under favorable circumstances, and hope that they will find it possible to visit Washington before the season is over. The following is the score:
