New Preston Literary Club.


 ED1TcR oF Esoc1RER. Your correspon-. dent has occasionally met, in the Eifqni- Ter, with allusions to the New Preston Literary Club. These ailusions constltu- ted his entire knowledge of that pleasant and useful institution, until last Wednes- day evening (May 9th, when he very un- expectedly came into 8 personal and agreeable acquaintance with it. |.
 On that evening it held it's last meeting for the season. The members and their friends, to the number of sixty or there abouts, met in the parlors of the Rev. MT. Upson. The main exercises of the even- ing consisted of compositions by the young ladies, declamations by the young gentlemen, and readings from the English classics, and were all of marked merit. High praise could justly be awarded to several of the performers; and yet, am to speak particularly of the rendering by Miss Lancashire, of the piece, ''The cur. few must not toll to night" It was mark cd by dramatic power which few proba- ply could equal. It is said that Miss l.. has spoken this piece in the presence of two thousand people at Saratoga Springs.
 After some remarks by Rev. Messrs. Upson, Lancashire and Harrison, the company, upon the invitation of Mir. Up- son; adjourned to the dining loom where was found beautifully and bountifully spread table. The guests were politely served by the young gentlemen of Upson Seminary. after Which the remainder of the evening was spent III social manner to the apparent qualification. of those present.
 And all this, MT. Editor, suggests the thought that the well ordered home of clergyman may be, and often IS, and always should be, not only center of good religious influences but also of in- tellectual and social culture. In these minor ways such homes are often of great value in a community. As one striking example. no one will ever be able to tell the woIth not only to the town of Nor folk. but to the northern portion of Litch field County, of the refined and cultured influences centering in, and emanating from the home of the late Dr. Eldridge!
 cannot close this communication with out speaking of the tasteful arrangement of the flowers, both in the parlor and din- room for which the company were in- debted to Mrs Brady of Washington, D. C., wife of the 2d Asst. P. M. G., visi- tor at Mr. Upson's.
 May the N. P. l.. O., in due season, ex perience resurrection, and new term of vigorous life. V1AToR.

Falls Village.

This village has had visit from cra- zy woman of about weeks duration, and all felt relieved when she left. She was arrested, Saturday night, week ago, and put in safe keeping for the night. She was very violent, threatening to burn the place, Sc. The next day, she was taken to the house of one of the town officers, MT. Brewster. where she did great deal ol damage, breaking the mirror, tearing the wall paper. &c. Then, when told she must leave. was taken suddenly sick, and could not be moved. Her clothing, some of which was of good maternal, was mark ed with two names, but she said neither was hers, and refused to give her own name or any account of herself She is apparently about 60, tall, rather slender, and powerful woman. She had great delight in frightening people. and sallied one morning, out and made several calls. Going directly into the pantry, in one place. she commenced breaking dishes, and throwing the food on the floor, She succeeded in alarming all those she visit ed; then returned again to Mir. Brewster's. She was sent to Cornwall Bridge, whence she came. and from there to Pitts6eld, where it is hoped she will be taken care of-as she is dangerous person to be al large.
 -Yesterday. the Rev. MT. Hopley o1 Stockbridge preached at the Cong. Chapel, and the Rev. Mir. Free, of South6eld, al the South Canaan Church. We believe il is not yet decided what arrangements these Churches will make for the ensuing year. H.

New Preston.

The Lyeeum was adjourned on Friday evening last. subject to the call of five members The Lyceum was started on the 18th of last October, and throughout the entire winter it has met with marked sue. cess. the members who have taken such an active part have been greatly benefit cd, and m coming years they will prob. ably reap the fruits of their toiI, and may fill places of honor in the state of Con. nscticuk The following resolution was passed, ''RcsOlued, That we, the mem- bers of the Waramaug Lyceum. do hereby extend our sincere thanks to the inhabi- tants of New Preston. for aidln the as- sOciatiOn by their patronage, weekly, throughout the past winter. in she good. work that has been done by this associa- tion."
 The first ''crOquet party" of the season came of at the residence of H. A. Ben- nes. on Saturday, May 18th. A large and select numbet were present. The playing of the favorite game was carried on un- til SIX O'clcck, when tea was announced and enjoyed by the hungry croqueters. Aftsr tea all participated in playing one game. and then the company left for their respective homes, delighted with their evening. fun.
 The discOntinuance of the Literary Club will no doubt be mOurned by many, while others, who considered themselves, ''left out. " will feel ''quite the reverse. |"
 MT. O. E. Beeman raised another large building on Saturday last. He has extended the one that he raised and furn. iEhed last summer: if is now over seventy feetin length. making,a fine structure. Ger. tainly Mr. Bseman ia a public spirited man, and many in New Preston would do well to fOllaw his example.
 If those young gentleman who attract 70 much attention from the fair sex on Sunday evenings ldirectly after the pray. er-mesting), would be kind enough not to blockade the porch, they would receive the thanks of many an older person.

SOUTH CAROLINA, which was for years
denominated the PROSTATE State, and lay
in desolation, refusing to be comforted, ha.
lately taken to celebrations and festivities,
which become people enjoying liberty
and cons cious that they have won it by
political wisdom and forbearance. On the
2S.h of June, the anniversary of the battle
Of Fort Moultrie, one of the best and bold
es: struggles of the Revolutionary era, the
monument commemorative Of that event,
was unveiled with much military pomp
and display. General Rutledge, soldier
who bears historic name, delivered an
oraiion appropriate to the occasion, and

Infused into the people, The whole coun-

IHE NCRTH AMERICAN REVIEW,
JAMES R. osGooD d CO., BOSTON.

We have received from the publishers,
the second edition of the July and August
number Of the Review. The opening ar,
ticle is by Judge Black, of Pennsylvania
entitled "The Electoral Conspiracy" /,
is clear, terse, and comprehensive indict.
ment of the conspirators, introduced by a
rapid, and lucid picture, Of 'carpet baggers,
and scalawags." The mode by which Lou
siana was given to Hayes, shows a depth
of political venality, unequalled, save by
the sale, Irish independence in 1900, by the
military carpet baggers, who swarmed into
ireland with English Gold in their pock-
ets, to do the bidding of Pitt, and who re-
ceived their brides, when the work was
done, as Wells, and his co-conspirators,
received theirs, when the Electoral Com
mission soiled its judicial ermine, by
giving the stamp Of legality to the foul
conspiracy against the life Of the Ameries n
Republic. History repeats itself. The
Imperial purple of the Roman empire, with
all its lofty honors, vast powers, and pie
nary privileges, was once sold to the high
est bidder, by the Pretorian Guards. The
title Of the purchaser failed TO command
respect from the vendors, and in brief
time met the fate usually meeted out, by
the avenging Nemesis. The corner stone
ofthat of fJulianus, rested uponthe drachmas
paid the armed Pretrorian. That of our
President-the dollars counted out un-
armed scoundrels. The one is the foul
spot in Roman history is the electral, con.
spiracy less fntid?
Although Judge Black avoids the cow
ardice of the Democratic House, he con-
fesses the damning wrong resulting from
its action, in not standing by the consti,u>
tional rights Of the people of the United
States, to choose their own ruler. They
who desire TO have full and clear COM
prshension of the conspiracy IN its incep-
ton, progress, and consummation, ought to
read Judge Blacks article. We give space
to its concluding paragraphs: |
"If the majority of that Commission
could but have realized their responsibility
to God and man, if they could only h ave
understood that in free country liberty
and law are inseparable, they would have
been enrolled among our greatest benefac.
tors, for they would have added strength
and grandeur to our institions. But they
could not come up to the height of tie
great subject Party passion SO benumbed
their faculties that fundamental right
seemed nothing to them when it came in
conflict with some argument supported bv
by artificial reasoning and drawn from the
analogies of technical procedure.
The Constitution was in their judgm enl
by void statute and the &C.
lion of corrupt Returning Board.
LET these things be remembered b. our
rhildren's children, and if the friends Of
free government shall ever again have such
Il contest, let them take care how they leave
'he decision Of it to tribunal like that
which betrayed the nation by enthronin.

This is a nation of enlightened freemen.
Education is the corn stone and foundation
of our government. The people are free to
think and act for themselves, and that they
may act wisely it is necessary that they be
well informed. Every individual gain in
creases public gain. Upon the health of the
people is based the prosperity OF a nation,
by 1t every value is increased, every JOY en-
HANGED. Health is essential to the ac-
complishment of every purpose; while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and
loftiest aims Unto us are committed i'm
portant health trusts, which we hold not
merely in our own behalf but for the benefit
of others. In order that we may be able to
discharge the obligation of our trusteeship
and thus prove worthy of our generous COM
mission, it is necessary that we study the
art of preserving health and prolonging
life. 1t is of paramount importance to
every person not only to understand the
means for the preservation of health, but
also to know what remedies should be en-
ployed for the alienation of the common
ailments of life. Not that we would advise
every man under all circumstances to
attempt to beshis own physician, but we en-
treat him to acquire sufficient knowledge of
his system and the laws that govern it, that
he may be prepared to take care of himself
properly, and thereby prevent sickness aud
proIong life. In no text book will the
people find the subjects of physiology and
hygiene, or the science of life and the art of
preserving health, more scientifically dis
cusss d or more plainly taught than in " The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
by K. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of Buffalo, n. Y. 1t
is q volume of over nine hundred large
pages, illustrated by over two hundred and
eighty-two engravings and colored plates, is
elegantly bound in cloth and gilt, and is
sent, postpaid, to any address by the author
at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents
a copy. Nearly one hundred thousand
copies have already been sold, and the
present edition, which is revised and en-.
larged and more especially adapted to the
wants OF the faraily, is selling very rapidly.
1t treats of all the common diseases and
their remedies, as well as of anatomy,
hygiene, human temperaments,
and many other topics of great interest to
all people, and is truly what its author styles
it. Me dicine Simplifed."
