 Il learn from one of your Harwinton correspondents, 'Llttle Johnnie," that ''the petition to retain the East Litchfeld Post-effice at West Harwinton was signed by 60 legal voters. while the opposition got only eleven names, some of which are said to have been those of minors" On the opposition" sixteen names were ob- tained, none of which, as can learn. were minors. A careful description of the place showing where its business centre is, its close proximity to the railroad; also the location where the office will benefit the greatest number of people-will have greater weight at headquarters than a long string of names.-a fact l hope little Johnnie" will not be too small to compre- bend.

He also got mixed up in a quarrel with MT. J. Goodman. Mir. c. was driving by Mir. G.'s house, Saturday night, and being somewhat intoxicated, indulged in protracted discussion of his neighbors' personal demerits, when the subject of his remarks appeared on the scene. Mir. G proceeded at once to reply to his argument and defend his honor by an energetic use of hoe on Mir. 0. s per son. Mir. Goodman has complained of Clark, and Clark of Goodman. Mir. Clark will be so engrossed with law matters, at present. that he will be unable to attend the Centennial during the coming two months. Persons visiting there now with the expectation of seeing MT.

There is a great conflict of opinion a. bout Miss Anna Dickenson's merits as an actress MrWinter of the Tribune, re- plles in its Saturdays issue to the criti. eisms on his criticism of her first appear ance. The spirit he displays is not d1to gether judicial, and we imagine that the prescription he offers Miss Dickenson, Moderation to start with." is one that wOGld suit his own case quite as we'll as hers- There is one reason why we espec- tally desire her success; The stage is now m pretty poor hands; its morals are IOw; its style repulsively theatrical" its recent plays and players equally wan ting in genius and originality. Aplucky, earnest, honest woman like Miss Dickin- son, who has already shown real genius in a kindred vocation could do much to raise the character of our stage and to reconcile class of people who are now bitterly hostile to it, not altogether without req soa- 1t Is . noticeable feature of her open iag theatrical career already that she at. tracts audiences composed to consider able extent of 6 class of people who are aOk uxaally seen m theatres.
 We give belOE few extracts from an extrensly well written criticism which ap- pears in Saturdays New Haven Palladi- um=
 To begin with, Miss Dickinson's piece Hs an interesting one. It is rather a se- res of detas5hed scenes than tragedy, or evea a drama It resembles, in style, the Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette with which RIstOn has made the American pablBc familiar. The dialogue is terse, mnd the characters sharply drawn.
 As regards the acting. Miss Dickinson w@z her owa exaggerated self. All the tESzks and mannerisms of the platform were visible iR the actress. Genius she has. and there were times when it rose su- pexSor to the methods of her acting and VIn1lcAked its existence. Still, it must be euafessed that the monotonous-almost Whinimg-intonatlon was often tedious and pninfnL If Miss Dickinson could speak the words of her part as she spoke the few graceful words of her little speech when. ak the end of the third act, she was called before the curtain, there>would be lztkse canss for criticism Her dresses were Iz excellent taste, especially the first one. She is wonderfully self possessed for be. glR@eg. and freads the stage with ease. Her coaceptiOn of the part is good, and she alw2ys knows what she wishes to do. Her fzaIEs are those which study perhaps, nay overcome. but she needs lessons in sa0cnkl0n- What IS more than tolerated ca the platform becomes wearisome or the stage That Mss Dickinson has dra @4tse geains cannot be questioned hel 1~e4ars@ have proved that but the mech aai<@ of art can only be acquired b, sxady Perfect mechanism will not in dse1 supply the place of genius, but geni as without 1t is almost helpless Mis-, Dickinson is mistress of her own future She hns much to learn. and, task more dI&ca1t still, much to unlearn.

The of Temperance revival which we see noted in the press of this country has its counterpart. it in England. The London Christian World says:-
 The growth and spread of the Temper Anee movement among the clergy of the Church of England is one of the most sat Esfac8OCy signs of the times. The Arch. bishop of Canterbury took the chair at a Temperance Meeting in East End. at ~hich Canon Ellison read an interesting p&ber. The Archbishop of York is also reported to have become an abstainer. Canon DuckvOrth who, we are glad to learn is rapidly recovering from his re- ceat att2ct of fever in India, is also a hearty friend of the Temperance cause, and an abstainer for examples sake"

 News is scarce. but water abundant During the shower of yesterday, bolt of lightning descended telegraph pole on the farm of William Black tearing it in splinters. The electric fluid following the the wire about mile to the Romford Depot, descended the roof. and struck Archer Ford. the Agent of the Depot, knocking him from the platform upon the track. insensible The t. ain was ap. preaching. but neighbor who was pre- sent drew him a cross the track out of the reach of the engine, and suffused his head and face with water until help arrived. Providentially Dr. Allen, of New York, was on board the train. examined him, and gave directions and encouragement. Con- sciousness was soon restored, and he was conveyed home. To-day he is very sore from his fall. The right side and arm were scathed by the fluid, but we hope not paralysed. Surely thereis but step be- tween us and death.
