.tThe fund donated to the town for the repair of the roads leading from the cen, ter for the distance of one mile, has been faithfully expended. by the Town Agent. u. L. Whiting, and all these roads are in inecondition. A resolution thanking the donor of this liberal gift (Hon. Rob- bins BattelD was proposed at the annual
 Eean Meeting, g,zthas amount he gave for this object was 5000.

 :. Our manufacturing interests. I regret to say, are not in a fourishing condition. The Silk factory has been closed some time,. and Mir. Morse soon leaves town. The Axle Go are about to close up their business: it has not proved success, but resulted in a loss to the stockholders. Norfolk, to-day. has not as great an amount of manufactures. within the town as it had in sS5, or 40. Then they had three. tanneries,n all doing g large business; three scytilo7 .i.lps all pros- porous; a large wooden factory. and
 a large cloth-dressing shop. Forty years ago people from Winchester and
 Coiebrook, came in large numbers te trade at our stores. Now Norfolk does as much business with Winsted merchants as they do with Norfolk merchants. With debt of $6O. 900 dollars on the town, with their farms producing not more than hali what they did 40 years since, and with tho decline of their manufactures, the outlook for Norfolk, is gloomy, enough! sa nst,r.3.

TWISTED has been having a red-hot town meeting abont the proposed Town Hall on the Flat. At the, annual town meeting it was voted to appropriate $10,-
 900 for that purpose, but it was claimed that this vote was carried by trick of the promoters of the new project. On Monday, therefore, another town meeting was held, futit was so large and stormy that no conclusion was arrived at, and
 it's moderator, Editor Bills. finally declared an adjournment carried. All the notables of the place; lawyers Fyler,s Fenn,. iCleve- land and Lawrence; Geo. Dudley. R. E..

. Editor Enquirer. .-The article in your issue of 4th inst. under the head of ''Dy- nanite Unsafe ?.' leaves it uncertain how the explosion occurred which resulted in the death of MT. Carr. The facts as we learn them from MT. Smith leave no room for doubt. Mr. Carr undoubtedly had matches together with the exploders in his vest pocket, and, while feeling for the caps, fired a match which fired the explo. ders and their explosion exploded the powder which was in o his left hand and near if not in contact with his person. The powder never. explodes spontaneously and the caps or exploders are not explod- ed by any ordinary handling A few weeks ago one of our agents was injured by the explosion of the same kind of ex- ploders mixed with. matches. fired by dropping bunch of keys upon them Tn his. pocket. We respectfully. ask you to give space in. your paper to the substanee of this explanation. 9 taa1sa.. .l.5s |. Yours Respectfully,

While there has not been frost enongh to stop the towering of tobacco plant that has obtruded itself in our neglected garden, the trees about it are shedding their leaves. and we remark that the forests have not the brilliant coloring we are used to see in Autumn, the effect of frost's pencllling; but the pleasant weather has been favorable to the farmer and delight. ful to all. .a.aag si3f1o -i
