THE sTocKADB.
The excellence OF the work on the stocSade and
ITS durable construction were a surprise 70 those
whe had not seen 4 before. n must be remembered
that the outer walls we're built In four days, tue
timber being brought from dis ance They are
composed OF double thickness OF logs set up
rgnt in the ground and provided with loopholes
for the use OF rines against an outer enemy. The
gate is double and is bullt OF heavy timber,
smoothly hewn and strongly Joined together. The
cabins within are seven In number, low struc-
mud, and terminating at che base IN huge omen
nreplaces, In which the cinders OF half-ournt logs
still renamed when we entered. Each cabin con-
tains out one room, fitted up with rude station
airy bedsteads made OF pine saplings. In
the largest cabin was good cooking

 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Cozmunications of personal nature will not be pabshed, unless the propriety of such publication is manifest.

 Salisbury has neither lawyer. physician, nor minister.
 We have seen the foregoing in not less than half dozen exchanges, some of them publised in this county The Conn Reg ister gives the village of Salisbury two ministers: Rev. W. A. Johnson, Episco- pal; and Rev.Adam Reid, Congregational: two lawyers, Donald J. Warner and Donald T. Warner: and one doctor, B. s. Thompson. In other villages in the town there are 8 number of other clergymen and doctors. Probably century hence the dearth of law, divinity, and medicine in so considerable village as Salisbury will puzzle the historian. misled by the files of Conn. papers then extant.

Constitutional Amendments.

No less than seven amendments of our State constitution were proposed last year. The first forbids town subscriptions to railroads, restriction that does not strike us as wise. Occasionally such subscrip- is jnstifiable and necessary. The power cueht, however, to be so limited as to at least secure. the assent of those who pay 0 majority of the taxes.
 The second amendment proposes to postpone the time of our elections till fall; and of our legislative sessions till winter, Half of the Senate, only, is to be elected, each year. This is all very we'll as far as it goes; but biennial elections and legis- latlve sessions would, we imagine, be a greater improvement still. Nevertheless, the present arrangement which throws our election into season when residences are changing, when the weather is uncertain, and when there is political rest through out the remainder of the Union, and which brings our legislature of farmers together at the very season when farmers are bus jest. is so very objectionable that we hope this amendment will pass.
 The fourth and fifth proposed amend ments give the legislature power to restore forfeited rights and increase the official terms of the Judges of Probate and other minor judges to six years. -..-
 The sixth and seventh proposed amend ments are for an increase in the number of Senator's. This is reform that is much needed. The present Senate is too small a body for debate, and too large for mere legislative council.
 Our only objection to the passage of these amendments is that they are Reform in fragments, whereas we need a thorough revision of our whole Constitution. either by Commission or Convention.

what they say about 1t.

Our brethren of the press in this vicin- ity comment pleasantly on the recent con- solidation of the Sentinel with the En- quirer. Bro. Vail Heralds,
 ONE MORE UNFoRTUNATE.-Repo is in circulation that the Litchfield Sentinel is about to suspend publication, now that Bro. Farnum has been appointed assistant clerk of the House of Representatives The sad rites of closing its eyes were per- formed, so we hear, by the editors of the Litchfeld Enquirer, and Wolcottville Register, who cast lots for its vesture. Its cylinder press will probably go to Vol cottville, and the Enquirer will have a chance to fill up with ''sorts" from it's cases. The Sentinel suffered so much while it lived that we hope it may requies- cat in pace.
 The New Milford Ray says:
 Last week the Litchfeld Sentinel gave up the ghost. MT. Farnum, the owner. seems to have been unable to meet his ob- ligations, and so the servlces of the Sher- if were called in to relieve him of the pa- per. It is reported that MT. Hickox, of the Enquirer, has purchased the office and will supply his paper to theSentinel's sub- scribers. By this arrangement they will get much better local sheet, but they may not be able to assent to its politics.
 The Waterbury Index puts us under an injunction. which IS more than anyone else has done; and Beach, of the Ameri- can. an old Sentinel boy. compliments its former proprietor and gives slight his- torical sketch of its later career, unlike most obituary notices, in that it's words are words of truth rather than of pleasant ness.
 Then up rises Bro. Joe Vail, again, and delivers what we believe is technically known as the Charge to the Pastor," in the following words of mingled warning and encouragement:
 Brother Hickox, of the Litchfeld En- quirer, has really scooped into his net the defunct Sentinel and its mass of Demo- cratic parasites. Now has the Enouirer missionary work indeed-to convert the Seth Logans, Geo. Hitchcocks and the rest of that crew of Democratic patriots. to whom Republican editorials. such as Hickox sends out, will be as strange as sacred history. But we hope for good re- suits from the Enquirer's teachings. There are few better local newspapers in the eountry-always right on all questions, with now and then an exception. We wish Brother Hickox an abundant reward in the labors he is to undertake.
 If subscribers are parasites" the Her. aid must be in an awful condition, with 25OO of themi We dislike to meddle with good joke, but the fact is that MT. Geo. 0. Hitchcock has always taken the En- quirer and has rot taken the Sentinel for several years. Another fact we must note in this connection: People read local pa. pers for their local news; for political ed. itorials they rely, rather, on the great city journals. The editor of the Herald would leave out the best editorial he ever wrote to make way for Canaan or Riverton let ter. It is its strength in correspondence that has made that paper success.

On our first page will be found an ac- count of the great spelling match at Hart ford in which figured most of the celebri. ties of that place. The most comical in- cident of the affair was the collapse of Judge Carpenter, first of any, on 'sgiz- zard." twill be several years before he hears the last of this from his brethren of bench and bar, and we can imagine just how, the next time the court dimes on chicken, the Chief Justice will pass Car penter J. the gizxard, with wink blind man could see quarter of mile.

 As he observes, this is tribute without qualification to the unRpproachable supe- riority of the balances; for the policy of Russia has been most stringent for the ex- clusion of outside manufactures, with view98eHcourage those of home origin, and to that end very heavy lmposts are laid upon importations of foreign work.

 NEW TROUT PJcTURK.-On an easel at Glazier's art gallery can be seen new and charming trout picture by Thomas Sedg-, wick Steele, (of T. Steele & Son, jewelers) of this city. It represents four trout strung carelessly together on the twig of tree, and so artistically are they grouped as to display to the very best contrast their different sides and colors. With the ex. ception of the center trout they are paint ed ''low in tone" but this fine fellow looks as if he may have hailed from the celebrat- ed "Rangely" region, in Maine, from which locality it will be remembered MT. Steele wrote us some interesting letters last September.
 The picture shows accurate observation of the fish and Is pronounced by connoi- seurs the best study Mir. Steele has yet produced. Although the artist is confined to his regular business the entire day, still he finds 8 few leisure moments to devote to this fascinating and cultivating employ ment, producing one painting each season -H0rtfOrd Evening Post.
