The recklessness oflAmerican corporate
enterprise, says the North American, has
so long been suffered to pass current,
both abroad and at home, as sort of
synonyme for swindling, Fthat it as well
occasionally to look at foreign statistics
on the same subject. In three years af-
ter the passage of the act of Parliament
authorizing of corporations in which the
stockholders should be only liable to the
amount of their subscriptions, S32 compa-
MES were organized, with capital of
81, l,s14,677,5 500, OF which in three years
81 ,543, ,3l2, sos was subscribed and $685.
905, ,565 paid in, of which the last sum
the premiums amount to S22, ,000, ,000'
The speculation was about four times as
great. During the first year about i
thousand schemes were presented asking
for subscriptions to the amount of 81
000,000,000. These related to every
bran:h of business, to almost every
country and even to the trade OF promo
ting" corporations, that is of getting
them up and making a reputation for
them. The tremendous crash in London
IN 1866 was the natural result OF this
mania, and SO badly was British, enter
prise injured that it was not until about
1S6s-7O that .Engliah capital turned to.
ward 1.-THE developement. of American
railways. Most of the disastrous invest
ments of British capital in foreign loans
and stocks may be traced to the opera
tions Of the companies generated by the
Limited Liability act, which gave birth
to a new swarm ofreckless and unscrupu-
lous fnanciers who made money rapidly
at the expense Of the pubic.

OUTRAGEs By TRAMrs are recorded in

Litchfield enquirer., 1876-06-01
East IitCh0old

Farmers have taken advantage of the pleasant weather of the last few days, and got all their sewing and planting doae. Grass is looking nicely. with the prospect of full crop in time. Fruit trees-es- pecially apple-have blown full. I mo- ticed one little bush, not over six or eight inches high, with two blossoms on-a somewhat unusual circumstance, I think.
 Considerable complaint is made about the road from here to Castles bridge. It is certainly in most wretched condition, a nuisance to the travelling public, and a shame to the town that owns it. When one learns that it is Harwinton road, the fact that the repairing of it is delayed un- til after planting, ceases to surprise. I have had little experience with Harwin- ton roads of late, and find. with hardly an exception, the road contractors are attend ing to their farm work and neglecting the roads. much to the annoyance of travellers.

Hotchkiss, for steal- ing B. H. Rogers cattle, failed to know any thing about the matter and they were ac- quilted. Then O'Donnel was arrested as an accomplice, tried before O. l.. Fitch Esq, and bound over to the Superior Court under $500 bonds. The cattle were stolen stolen, last fall.
 Moses Butler is slowly recovering from severe attract of Typhoid Pneum- onia.

 The prospect for heavy crop of grass is very encouraging.
 MT. E. B. Hart has been planting cen tennial trees. More should follow his ex- ample.
 The trees in Cherry Avenue on Hart Hill are looking finely, especially the cherry trees, 75 in number. which are white with blossoms
