The American Farmer.

The June number is at hand, pre-
senting the usual complete and
varied index of seasonable contents
appropriate to the season and to the
needs of our farmers, who should
not be without the advice and sug-
gestiOns of this now venerable farm
journal. The use, the preparation
and the application of fertilizers is
always a prominent topic in its
pages, as also are the advantages of
improved stock of some celebrated
individuals, of which there are in
this number several engravings.
The staple crops, fruit culture and
ornamental gardening all find due
space, and no country home but
should have the monthly visits of
the Farmer. Published by Sam'l

81 fear you have OverworSed your inven-

your own seeking, and is 50 plain that YOU
can not obscure IL by any amount of miSreD-
reSentatiOn, however irraVelent or vulgar
You deliberately wrote and published con-
corning me four sheer falSehOOdS, without n
particle of foundation for any one of them
Thereupon l promptly put YOU on the ma
tiOnal pillOry with a very legible statement
of your Offenses upon your forehead
LAS you have endured your punishment
for an entire week, and now virtually con-
feSS that every statement made by YOU was
untrue, / have no objection to your getting
down, but you must not suppose that i
placed YOU there in resentment only. NV
chief purpose was to exhibit you as n warn
ing to younger men, by showing them that,
in spite of great ability and energy, you
have become the leper of our politics, by
reason of the general conviction that YOU
habitually disregard the eighth and ninth
commandments. That purpose has been
fully answered by the comments of the
country upon your character, and have no
further interest in the matter. | will not
even take the trouble to deny any new
falSehoOds you may think ii to your advant-
age to invent about me, for those who know
you, of course, will not belive anything you

The Fourth passed very quietly. With the exception of Fireworks ill the evening, and music by the "Brass Band" it..might have been Sunday or any other holy-day. The Fireworks were very fine and there were great many of them. Thanks to the Rev. Mir. Ludlow for this appropriate entertainment
 We may justly take pride our Brass Band. Its musicians have natural talent for their art,and deserve many thanks for the free "Concerts" given our people.
 A short time since a Cornwall con- pany had picnic at Lake Waramaug. It was a very pleasant day and an agreeable party. As there were only five eligible gentleman excursionists, to be found in the place, it made the duties of the gen. tlemen rather arduous, but they were eer- tainly appreciated by the ladies who real ized, that what they lacked in numbers was made up in quality. There was re- treatments in the grove. row on the Lake, and the pleasure of listening to the Warren Band" in the evening, which by the way, plays very finely. being per- feet in time. A moonlight ride hone finished very pleasant day.
 There was Church Sociable at the house of Mrs. J. Bradford on Tuesday evening of last week; about sixty attended although the evening was very dark. Mir. Geo. North is home on visit. He has been in Hornellsville, N. T., for the past year. lss C E.

The Fourth passed off here much as usual. There was the customary blowing of tin trumpets, shooting fire crackers on the night of the Third, and the usual number of men and boys doing everything they could think of to make night hideous and drive sleep from the eyes of those who were in bed, and mentally consigning them to the bottom Inf the ocean or any other out-of-the-way place. There was no public celebration of the doy, some going on excursions; some, on picnics; and quite number spending the after noon at Sea Side Park. There were some private displays of fireworks in the eve- ming, but nothing was done by the town or city.
 Ever since the hat factory of Glover, Sanford & Son burned, we have been hay. ing series of fires. Some of them are small and do but little damage, while others are quite serious. The largest have been the burning of the Island Brook School House, the burning of a carpen- ter's shop opposite the Depot Ia narrow escape from sweeping off the entire block), and the burning of four story frame building on Water street, which occurred at about one o'clock, Friday morning. Here. too, only the hardest work the fire. men prevented it from becoming a serious confederation. It was plainly the work of an incendiary, and rewards am uniting to $750 have been offered for his detection.

ARRfvAL.-Mr. Charles F. Lyman has returned from his seven months stay at Memphis, Tenn.
 THE FoURTH.-The Fourth was ushered in by the firing of the cannon near the Sherman House. The disturbance from the firing and from the unseemlY conduct of those engaged in it was unendurable and Mr. Sherman (whose house is full of boarders) sent for Sheriff Baldwin who ar- rived from Litchfeld about noon and ar- rested the ringleader of the rioters, with some of his assistants. Besides the out rageous noise they made, and the smash ing of glass by the firing, we understand that Mr. s. had his fences broken down and property destroyed in the most wan ton manner. On Saturday two sheriffs and our constable were again busy, arresting five more of the rioters who gave $2OO, bonds for appearance at the trial which comes off at Union Hall, at 10 a. m. of Saturday next. The Fourth closed in tolerable quiet, to the great relief of most of our citizens. Deliver us from such patriotism as was exhibited in New Pres ton on Wednesday last
 DROWNED. It is our painful duty to re- port the death of George Osborne, son of James Osborne, of Woodville, aged 9, by drowning in Lake Waramaug on Thurs ct i.o companions who had retured to the shore, when their attention was called to his stranger motions. He raised his arms, cried out something which they could not understand, and soon after went down. He was quite distance from the shore, though the water was not very deep, among some water lilies, which were seen to move restIessly to and fro after he sank, showing that he was struggling among them. There were men in a boat near by. but they made no attempt to save him. Help soon arrived, however, anta ttav a~ssay SDl.v.. 0t.t5 &..t- G:Il it had been three quarters of an hour un- der water and life was extinct. Nothing could be sadder than the bringing back of the young mans corpse to the house of his father which he had left, vigorous and happy that morning. He was much be- loved in hls native place and his loss is greatly mourned. The funeral was at tended ut his fathers residence, in Wood vile. and the remains were removed to New Milford for interment. This acci- dent should be warning to bathers in our lake offthe serious risks they run. No longer ago than 1869, son of Mir. Welton. of Washington, very estimable. young man was drowned here.

 Ye humble correspondent has not yet overcome his 'noctufnal habits" as ssM.J. W" styles them. On returning home from "buslness" at 2 a. m. on the Fourth. our ears were greeted with the sound of our church bell, which tolled (sic) us that an- niversary number one hundred and one of our independence had put in an appear ance. This ringing of the bell on the eve of the Fourth is a favorite pastime with our boys. notwithstanding the protests of our towns people who don't like to have their peaceful slumbers disturbed. All attempts to prevent it by locking up the church, or fastening the bell, have signal ly failed. Our boys bubble over with pat riotism. A few years ago, on finding the church locked up, they climbed the light ming rod to the belfry, in the night, dis tance of 75 feet. This difficult feat when one considers that for the first % it. the rod is square and the corners are notched and barbed like fish-hook every two in- ches.
 The '.:small boy" didn't forget to fzz and bang with his crackers and terpedoes. No celebration took place here, but the day was taken as general holiday. Sev. eral small private picnics were held in
