One of the reasons given by the funny man of the New York Times in favor of dress re- form for women is that there can be no equal- ity between the sexes so long as men are allow cd the exclusive use of the only garment on which match can be properly and artistical- ly lighted. The underside of the mantle piece is alike open to both sexes, though seldom us- ed by woman, but for utility combined. with grace nothing has ever been discovered in the match lighting line that equalsthe underside of mans trowers leg from the hip pocket down to the knee. But the successful performance of this modern accomplishment necessitates pantaloons outside of the leg as well as leg in- side the pantaloons as we have learned of late. A gentleman of this village, aye, shall we say the word, it was the high sheriff of Litchfeld county, got up from bed in great haste (to hang man we suppose) the other night and tried the match trick without putting on hls pantaloons The match was of the parlor variety, and 1t went off in capital shape but it is reported that the high sheriff now eats his meals from the fire place shelf.

 ED. ENQ. Tt is some weeks since you have heard from us. but we do not think that the interests of this town have suffered materially by our silence, and your able Maine Woods correspondent has occupied so much of your space, we thought we should not be missed. We think when the U. s. Government wanfs survey in Idaho, or Alaska, it could not do better than to employ him certainly as one of the party. We think him qualified, and his descriptive powers are equal if not superior to those of Clarence King, in his Mountaineer- ing in the Sierras.
 POLITICAL Republican Senatorial Con- vention was held in this placeon the 24th inst, and put in, nomination the Hon. Leman w. Cutler, of Watertown.. We hope, your next issue will bring intelligence of his election. The Republicans of this town have nominated Daniel S. Baker, and Edward Lyman, and the Democrasst' Walter Newtown and Daniel Wheaton as Representatives. Two of them are pretty sure to be electedA~ ~sGuy G. Ford, and H. H. Warehouse are nominated for Judge of Probate !; but one can hold it.
 !. VIsITORs.-The weather has been very pleas- ant late, and many persons have improveditby visiting friends in this place. The Misses Net tleton of Medina, leave for Birmingham to-day, going from thence to Middletown, and then home. MT. Lyman Payne, his wife and daugh- ter, of Gibson, Susquehanna Co.,, Penn, are visiting friends here. Mrs- Payne (nee Mary Senior) was a native of Washington. They have received intelligence of the death of her father, John Senior, who resided several years in this town. He died at Gibson, Oct Beth, aged 67.
 SICKNESS. Mrs Nelson Brown is very low.
 SoHooIs.-Seme of our Schools have com menced their winter term and we are informed with the following corps of teachers: Carter District, Theodore Bradley; Calhoun District, William Platt Davis Hollow, Porter D. Ford; Northeast, Charles s. Emmons; East, Can- dace Bradley; South, Sarah E. Calhoun; Church Hill, Rev. E. W. Woodruff.
 SUNDAY SCHOOL CoNvENTIoN.-A Conven- ton of the Sunday schools in the south part of this county was held at Bethlehem on the 18th inst. Twelve schools were represented, from the reports of which, we think they have held they own, and in some places have advanced during. the last twenty years. A bcuntiful collation. was provided by the ladies in the town hall The afternoon was occupied by discus sion of various topics connected with the work, which enlisted the best talent in this part of the County, also the Rev. F. c. Beckwith of Waterbury, on the scope and importance of the work. who presented it in number of the sis, followed by others Helps and Over-helps, by Rev. Mir. Backus, of Thomastou The Su- perintendent and his cares and claims, by E. B. Sanford, and George Langdon of Thomas ton; The Teacher, his duties, and for the Class, Rev. H. Lancashire, of New Preston. Rev. Mir. Upson spoke for few moments on the question Do the interests of the schools in this part of the county need some new meth cd of organization. Without coming to any conclusion, the Convention adjourned, having held very pleasant, harmonious, and inspiring session. s.
