 Potatoes in our vicinity are pretty light crop small in size and small in number. I hear from various quarters, also, that they are rotting badly, all of which will tend to make them bring good price.
 In my last communication I said our postmaster opened a paper suspecting there was fraud therein, upon reading which some of our people were much displeased and seem ed disposed to doubt the truth of the statement laying great stress upon the word suspected" as I used it. Now would state that report nothing but what suppose, to be fact but I find that our postmaster ''did not open the paper suspecting it contained fraud but he did so simply to read the paper and happened to find the writing" This say in justice to the recipient of the paper. Before I stated as I understood, from rumors atloat, now state as know, from our postmaster himself.

LONG DRESSES. Hiss, Robinson, in a letter from Paris published in the N. Y. papers, says she has not seen lady with long dress since she left New York, and learned that in one city of Germany, a lady with dress so long as to drag through the streets, is arrested by the police. When was coming out of one of MT. Moodys meetings at Hartford, last win ter, stepped on lady's dress, and, turning around, she looked daggcrs at me. A few weeks ago we had large gathering here, and as a man was passing out slowly, he felt something giving away under his feet, and looking long distance ahead he saw young lady whose dress extended clear back to hlm Accustomed as she was to dragging 1t through mud-puddles, she paid no attention to 1t, but there was one thing she had looked out for, she had purchased very strong piece of silk.
 Mr. LISTERS INJURY.-Mr. John C. Lester, who formerly taught school in our Academy, was riding to church recently with his brother and cousin, his brother driving. When they almost reached the village of Harrington, the horse whisked his tail over one of the reins, and MT. Lester reached forward to lberate it. AS quick as lightning, the horse kicked up, striking him in the face The blow was so stunning that he fell out of the carriage, and both wheels passed over him. When taken into house near by he was insensible. The doc tors found that his lower jaw was split apart in the middle, and four upper teeth knocked out, with bad cuts upon the chin snd up- per lip. The jaw was broken very much as Secretary Stewards was when he was assaulted at the time of the assassina- tien of President Lincoln, and it is very diff cult to contrive any way to keep the jaw in it's place until the bones have grown together; but the dentists have made plate to put in his mouth, and now all is bound tight with bandages, and it is intended that it shall re- main so for four weeks; in the mean time Mr. Lester sucks his food through tube inserted where the teeth were knocked out. He expect ed soon to return to Brooklyn, to go on with his medical studies. He would not take gas when they cut the pieces of bone from his mouth. His friends in Goshen hope that his recoveyr may be complete.

There was a tub race OH the Housatonic river, last Saturday. Tine contestants were seven In number, and the highest prize was three dol lars. Owing to the kindness of gentleman who had boat, were enabled to have good view of the whole proceeding. At about 1:30 o'clock the tubs began to appear along the shore It was decidedly amusing to see the attempts to. get into them without turning over. At last, however, all were ready, and the word was given to ''go." But alas there worthy youths went down ere they had scarce lv left the shore. There were three remain ing which kept afoat, and the occupants seemed to use great care and skill in their prog less. They stood at that time: first Lee Hart; second, A. D. Warner; and third, Charles Smith. But as they continued to advance, the tub of Charles Smith reached the front, and that of Lee Hart filled with water and went down. Soon MT. Smith touched the shore and he started on the return, Mir. War ner following right after. The others on reaching the opposite bank set out on the re- turn. However, Smith landed considerably in advance of the others, amid the cheers of the bystanders. Mr. Warner landed soon af- ter. Quite a number were present to witness this race and we only regret that the two prizes were not larger.
