NEW HAVEN, Dec. 4th, 1876. MR. EDIToR:-Shall be excused if I | commence for topic, with that always convenient one, the weather? The brief Indian summer days have given place to sharp chilliness in the air, and slight snow covering the ground on successive mornings fallino 0antlv aa tn- rnnnnin on tree and twig. giving them forms of fantastic beauty, but wasting away soon after the sun appeared. Thanksgiving day the cold increased, and Friday morn ing the thermometer indicated only eight degrees above zero in sheltered places, and on Saturday morning only four above. Slight snow again at evening, but the threatened storm passed by, and Sabbath was very bright and pleasant.
 Thanksgiving day was observed in a great variety of ways, but a small portion of the people of the city assembling for religious services. Several of the Congre- gational churches united at the Church of the Redeemer, where was excellent music, and sermon by the pastor, Rev. John 
 Todd. A tasteful arrangement of grain, vegetables and fruits in great variety on the communion table and pulpit platform showed the abundance of the fruits of the earth and filled gamers calling for thanks
 ''The poor ye have with you always" is manifest in the many long out of employ ment, who have not the wherewith to spread the festal board for their little children; so they must go hungry, while the rich have ''enough and to spare" Some indeed have remembered and gen. erouslY given of the1r abundance, so that the rich and poor could rejoice and give thanks together.
 The death of Miss Julia Beers, men, tioned in your paper recently, recalled the concerts of the old Litchfeld County Sa- cred Music Society, thirty years ago, when, as an accomplished organist, she was associated with leading musicians of the county in rendering some of the most difficult productions of the old masters. Pleasant memories of those days finger with survivors, but many who met on Lltchfeld hill on those occasions have be- fore her finished their earthly course and entered into rest. Y,

dred. Price is member of the M. E. church and strong temperance man, and it is thought whisky is at the bottom of this as of most other crimes and casual ties.
 The question is beginning to be serious 1y asked whether liquor is not answerable for more crime and suffering than the Turkish Bulgarian atrocities, at which the nations thriveing on the whisky business are holding up theirkhands in such holy horror. A few days since drunken wretch started from town with load of lumber, running his horses up hill and down till he was finally thrown from bis wagon about mile out; his team running on a short distance, piled upon or over another man and team with light wagon, and all fell into an inextricable mass, except the head horses which broke loose and ran of, leaving their driver a mangled mass of flesh and bones, with head cut, torn and bruised almost beyond identification. He was picked up and brought to town and lay in an unconscious state for over forty eight hours, and was given up by the doctors, but being of an iron constitu- tion he is beginning to revive and there is now hopes of hls recovery.
 When boy used to look at the big pile of wood ill our back yard and wonder if the winter would suffice for chopping it all up; one of our mill men has just con- tracted with lumberman to cut and float t'0entyJfre million feet of logs for hlm this winter,- he does not do it all himself, he gets about two hundred hands to help him.
 Humpty Dumpty, John B. Cough, an organ concert, theatrical performance, and several minor entertainments are in pros- pect between this and the holidays, revival" thrown in, of which more anon.
 Politics still run high. A young gent visiting his intended few nights since, got into an argument with her father, which grew in interest till words came to blows and the old man tried to smash a chair over the young mans head. Failing in this, he went for his revolver, and snapped it twice at the receding form of the lover. but fortunately no lives were lost. Our little girl came home from school one day with bloody crest. She said ''she had been plaguing some Demo- crats' and one of them got in stinger on her mug, drawing first blood. It was partly accidental and was soon made up.

During the last few weeks two flags have been waving at the Center: one call- ed "the peoples fag," which was pur- chased by contributions for the Fourth of July; the other straight" Democratic banner, much larger, and with "Tilden and Hendricks across the bottom for ballast. The first mentioned was taken down before the late storm, while the lat ter was allowed to remain to light it out on that line." But that north easter, like many another previous one, came off vic- torious. In the midst of the strife the line parted; the flag came partially down and had to be wound around. tree, to which one end of the rope was attached, and tied down. Only think of Tilden and Hendricks being supple enough to be wound around tree,-an elm, perhaps a slippery" elm,-to which it became nec- essary to fastenr them in order to keep 'em anywhere within bounds

Not having heard anything since last spring in regard to the case of NJ. V. Barnes vs. Plymouth, I had, until last week, supposed the matter to have been settled. But such supposition appears to have been incorrect. In the late trial learn that the jury disagreed, although I am not informed which way it prepon- derated. Instead of engaging in an ex- pensive lawsuit, how much better and more just to all concerned it would have been had our town fathers" settled with the complainant on the best possible terms. and then gone to work and length ened, not only tue sluice in question, but a number of others which are notoriously too short and dangerous.
