THE ERA OF GooD FEELING.-The con-
 mittee of ladies and gentlemen representing thousand ladies of Boston arrived in Washington on Wednesday of last week for the purpose of presenting to the Wash ington light infantry corps souvenirs of the Bunker Hill centennial. They were given . reception in the evening by the corps at the residence of Gov Shepherd, where large number of distinguished guests were assembled to meet them. At 10 o'clock the corps, in full uniform. marched into the ballroom where the pre- scntation took place. The souvenirs con sisted of handsome banner, badges fol each member of the organization, birds fol their wives, and for the children, smal
 chests of tea and badges representing Bun ker Hill monument. The banner was pre- sented by the Hon. William Wirt Warren
 and the badge by Major Ben. Perley Poor' and Major J. c. Park of Boston. A ban quet followed the presentation, and the re- maindcr of the evening was spent in dan- cing. The committee will visit Baltimor' on Friday and present similar articlest to thu Fifth Maryland regiment, and then pro ceed to Norfolk, Va, and Charleston, s. 0

AN CNTIMELY STR1KE.-The proprietor of enc of our foundries gave his workmen notice few days ago that they must ac- cept reduction of 15 per cent. in their wages or he would be obliged to shut down. This proposition was acceptable to some of his workmen, but others refused, under direction of the union, to make the concession, and strike ensued. As the proprietor only desired to run his foundry for the next two months to give work to his men, this strike will not materially in- convenience him, while it will take from $l5 to $25 week from the pockets of each of the workmeD. By this strike Q considerable number of men will be added to the large number of idle workmen whose necessities have enlisted the sympathies ot our citizens. A great many causes enter into the present depressed state of business but these labor unlons are not the leas among these causes. Men who will now combine to keep up ante-war prices for la bor ln any department of industry, act un wisely. Concession must be made, or nt one will care to carry on any business int which labor largely enters.-Al6any Jour nGL

If this was the only place in Litchfield county in which mud was abundant, 1t might be worth while to write dlsertation on 1t and interlard it with humorous sketch es of the fantastic positions that unfortu-
 nate pedestrians assume in their vain at tempts to keep their wardrobes free from the sticky compounds during their peregri- nations about town: but knowing full we'll that we have not the sole right to the arti- cle, and that the scenes here enacted in it are but the counterpart of others common in all our neighboring villages, it would be superhuous to enter into the details. Business is reported to be very dull, and our merchants have ample opportunity to make such repairs and alterations in their places of business as are desirable. Among the first to take advantage of the Hull in trade to renovate and brush up his store generally, is MT. E. F. Gillette, than whom no more gentlemanly, genial, accommoda ting and enterprising merchant can be found in this or any other town......A Mr.
 Sabin, while undertaking to drill couple of wild horses from the plains of Texas, recently purchased by MT. Perry Loucks

Unknown Ship Sunk in Mid ocean.

The New York Hera1d gives currency to the statement that when the steamship Adriatic arrived in that city Sunday her bulwarks and bow railings were gone, and that great haste was made in having them repaired. Interviews held with Captain Yard, who was passenger, and with number of others of the crew, brought out the following facts: On the night of De cember Soth, after leaving Queenstown, the Adriatic steamed down the Irish channel before stiff breeze. About half-past two o'clock Friday morning, when off Moyne Head, the man on the lookout. one Phil Hamilton by name, sighted vessel on the starboard tack and just in the track of the Adriatic, winch was tacking to port. He at once gave the alarm. The man at the wheel put the helm hard a-port and the steamer changed her course. About ten minutes passed and then Hamilton gave the alarm again, for the wheel had been reversed and the two vessels were closing fast upon each other. It was starry night, and against the sky the lookout man could easily trace the outlines of large ship or bark. A moment passed and then with crash the Adriatic dashed into the bows of the stranger. The engine was at once reversed and the steamer backed a mile or two. LowsS the boats,' rang from the quarter-deck, but hardly had the men reached them when the counter order was given. They were finally loosed from the davits and manned, but as they rowed away the lights of the strange vessel sank lower and lower till they reached the wa ter's edge and then hull, masts and all sank out of sight.
 The sailors say that the cries of the drowning men dould be distinctly heard and that they gave directions as they float ed for moment as to the course to take tc find them.

THE WINTER ABRoAD.-While in this re zion the winter seems to be slipping by without much cold weather and with no snow, the people of Europe are having the severest winter that has been known for a generation, and such heavy snows as no one remembers in any former year. Even in Italy the snow has been deep and the weather cold; and away down to the south- east in Turkey, the intense frost killed 300 soldiers in one day and night. Deeper snows than were ever known or heard of in New England are reported as far south as Vienna; and the country has been re- peatedly showed under in England. This one-sded distribution of moisture has left the inhabitants of this part of the United States without the requisite supply in the reservoirs and springs. It is the driest win ter of which we have any rccollection-the absence of the usual winter storms being particularly noticeable. h other parts of the globe the weather phenomena and other disturbances are decidedly marked-as the tremendous destruction of life and proper ty in the Philippine islands by an earth quake and ocean wave, and the recent de- structive earthquakes in Peru attest. On the night of the 4th and the morning of the 5th of December the town of Abancay, where no fewer than thirty seven earth quake shocks occurred during the night, was wholly destroyed, with its large sugar reineres; and on the 10th a great rain flood in Chili (the rainless land) destroyed $l,5oo.oo0 worth of property and some lives in Valparaiso.

kAGMS.
 Another pleasant gathering of those who delight in 'treadipg the mazes,' etc.. took place in the town hall on Wednesday even- ing of last week. It being leap year, the ladies availed themselves of their privilege and invited the gentlemen. Then was the time when the young men might have been seen rushing wildly to the post office every hour and issuing from it with a smile upon their faces, note within their hands, or hands thrust in their pockets and anxious looks upon their features, according 10 what they received from the smiling post master. Those of the sterner sex who were SO fortunate as to receive three or four invitations, realize by whom they are appreciated. Indeed, 'tis reported that one who received several at last became SO ella ted that he sent bis refusals in affecting poetry, and finds it difficult to come down to weighing out sugar and codfish. Som me thought he would not descend to earthly things that evening, but were disappointed when they saw him at supper and noticed the good things as they rapidly disappeared from his plate. Altogether the party, though something new for Kent, was de- cided success, and many thanks are de. served by those who were instrumental in getting it up and carrying it out......

Sheffield

The last week was made memorable in our towns record by the burial of Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Burtch, aged respectively 92 and s2 years. These ladies were the oldest members of the M. E. church in this place. They leave behind them shining records of Christian faithfulness. Mrs. Burtch for years has been known as 8 kind neighbor and faithful friend, though her death was one of the events we might ex- pect, yet her vacant chair will cause many heart ache to the loved ones she has left behind, and tears must fall when we think of the mother gone. The chains which bind us to earth are fast being broken, but the death of each Christian friend forms a bright link in the chain which is drawing us heavenward. May we look up! There seems solemnity in the cir of winter !; very many are sick in our midst, and the physicians find more than their share of la- bor...... Miss Georgie Stevenson, a lady much esteemed in our village, lies at the point of death at the time of our writing, and we dread the sound of the tolling bell which may tell US she too is gone. Her disease is that very distressing one called inflammation of the stomach.....A fire oc- cured in Western Sheffield last Friday night; the barns of MT. Conway were en- tirely consumed, containing much fodder a great quantity of hides; and 'tis reported two tons of beef were in the barn which he that day had butchered. While trying to save the stock, MT. Conway was terribly burned, and fears are entertained for his recovery......I regret that my items are oi so sad character this week, and hoping that the skies may brighten before my nex
 communication, remain the same
