 I have good reason for believing that the four others named are as guiltless as myself of any act which could justify you or ''S. in chasing us among such per sons. For myself. Mir. Editor, solemnly declare, that, whatever of omission or of commission on my part may deserve the disapprobation of your correspondent in this matter wherewith- t am charged, | am as innocent as the babe unborn.
 Associating mostly with boys, I feel young and lively like them; you will there fore forgive me, if seem to repel the ac- cusaton with too great warmth. What have we done to call forth such change as this ? Is it true that our obituaries are al- ready written, and that ''S." is impatient for their publication? It had never occur red to me that my age was of any interest to your readers. I am entirely willing to give the information, certified as correct to within few hours, if publicly or pri. vately invited so to do, but must protest against such blunders being published. Statistics, to be valuable. must be accurate, and who knows what evils may flow from such errors.
 John and can bear it we are ready to face the music, and come to time, but put it to you, Mir. Editor, is it proper, is it delicate, to be throwing out such guesses about lineage of my female friends above.named
 Are these peaceful. quiet citizens to be thus carelessly held up to notice, and subjected to such erroneous classification? Finally, Mir. Editor, let me assure my friends iA adjoining towns, that in spite of years and infrmities, shall still hope to see many of them on the I1th inst, ill our pleasant Hall, when can confidently promise them delightful entertainment, and where I shall hope to convince them that your correspondent has for once been Led Astray.

The use of carpetings may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Co, of Bridgeport, are. said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold Tn this Country. Messrs. HALL & READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state. Hall Read also enjoy a deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates. They retail all do- nestle goods at the wholesale price lists and 1t IS said that all kinds of housekeep- ing goods can be purchased there as low as in New York.

The Centaurs of old were represented as half horse and half man. The God of Medicine was Esculapius, Centaur. The man who applied the name of Centaur to a remedy which is applicable to both man and beast, struck a lucky thought. We understand that the remedy is as good as the name is felicitous. The cures said to be performed by it are simply wonderful. Admitting that only one-half is true which IS said of this Liniment, it is of great val ue, and should be in the possession of ev- cry housekeeper and of every person who owns a horse.

tion of 90, 900, to our House of Represen- tatives and the rotten borough system of Connecticut and the rotten borough sys- tenn of England are almost exactly on a par.
 The proposition to cut down salaries of West Point professors and reduce the pay of cadets has been sharply debated in the House, the Democrats generally favoring the reduction and Republicans opposing it. Very likely there is a spice of the old dislike of strengthening the army in the proposed measure. Nevertheless it strikes us that the number of cadets now allowed is much too large. The practice has al-a ways been to give each Congressional district one cadet. With the new appor- tionment of the census of 1870, the num- Der of Congressional Districts has been increased from 243 to BIO. The school was larger before than was required for the supply of army officers, and hence the greatest strictness has prevailed there with view of reducing the number of graduates. A smaller number of appoint ments and fairer treatment of those ap. pointed, would be great improvement on the present arrangement.
