 Matters on the Hill are quiet. The society's meeting. on the 9th inst, voted unanimously to instruct the clerk to make no record of4he iIlegalaaTetess passed on. December 27th. At the meeting orf the 5th, remarks were made which were pro bably more provoking, insulting. indecent. vulgar, obscene and shockiDgly profane than were ever heard on any other similar occasion. Of the breach of the peace which occurred on Monday, the 7th inst. many believe the following is about the true account:
 MT. Beardsley was on his way home. Before reaching his house he saw Mr. Hitchcock in the highway walking to and fro across the street, and up and down the road. As he approached, he stopped in the travelled part of the road, and as MT. B. turned hls horse aside to drive around him, he stepped quietly before the horse and caught it by the bits, charged Ms. B. with trying to drive over him, and called two of his hands and ordered one to hold the horse and the other to take Mir. B. g whip from him. Then H. took it and struck MT. $. with it several times. which was o; course @ courageous act. It is not often that public opinion IS evel more perfectly and emphatically unit ir condemning an act than in this case.

 My No. 220 in your paper has brought many questions in relation to the relatives of those soldiers. Mrs. Van Winkle, of your village, who spends her winters in New York, writes to know if Ambrose Beach was not a brother of her grandfath- CT, Chauncey Beach. Her supposition is correct; this soldier. who died in the war. was an uncle of MT. Theron Beach, for mer President of the Bank in Litchfield. Hon. Geo. 0. Woodruff says that Cyp- rian Collins (not Ephrains, as you print ed it) Was son of Rev. Timothy Collins. the first minister in Litchfield.

The use of carpetlngs 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.

Your correspondents appear to be much exercised about :'danclng behind the scenes" Now when that occurred it was the week of prayer, and some of the party felt that it would be better observed with games &c., while the rest saw no harm in dancing to the tune of @ melodeon. The hostess kindly accommodated each with separate rooms, and if the dancing was more attractive SO that the passage way was crowded with spectators that were with difficulty called back to the croquet board, or if some were tempted to retire for private "trip of the toe," and if it was not done gracefully, all being alike be- ginners, let us have charity, inasmuch as all united in a mock Quaker meeting, and thus closed the evenings exer- cIses.

 A few days since, Mir. Charles Barton. while engaged in getting ice .on Swift's Pond, thoughtlessly stepped upon brcken ice and fell into the water. His son had gone home to dinner, and the teams haul ! ing ice had all gone home at the time, leaving Mir B. alone when he got in the fearful plight. After trying several times 1 to get out on the side where he fell in, without succeeding. he swam across the open space, breaking the thin ice as he came to it. till he reached the opposite side, when he tried and failed and kept trying and failing when the thought struck him that if he could remove his mittens he might hold to the Ice better ana get out holding by his elbow on the ice. and removing his mittens with his teeth, he tried again and again, and at last, nearly exhausted, succeeded in reaching the top of the ice. From his own story, and we have no reason to doubt it. it was an al- most miraculous escape.

Public opioion is. evidently settling

 innocence will never be removed except
 by thorough investigation of sources of o inforaSation not reached by the:protracted a litigation of last year. It is we'll known
 that Mrs. Hilton has made confessions
 which ssre inadmissible on the trial of
 Mir. Beecher. but which. nevertheless, 8 form one of the istrogest links in the chain
 of moral evidence against him. Mr. Bow .eh's explicit statement also has some
