 splendid peaches. The residents of this vi- lage can vouch for the size and quality of the peaches. Many peaches measured over 3-4 inches around. Now if these ten remaining trees never bear again they have more than paid for themselves. We have had peaches continually for seven weeks and such splen- did ones, tool CrAwftrls Early, Geo. the 4th, O'Busion, Stump the World and Craw- ford Late The only way to raise peaches is to plant few trees every year, because the peach treeis short lived and if several years eapse between planting the chances are the bearing trees will die out before those recent y planted mature. If peach tree bears once only good crop before itdies, that tree has more than paid for itself. s. c. BEoKLEY.

 1.-The above suggestion from MT. Beckley deserves the consideration of the farmers of Litchtield County. The fact that one good crop more than pays the expense of planting should encourage land owners to try the ex- pertinent. That our soil is adapted to peach raising has been demonstrated by MT. B., who, we can testify, this season produced fruit which surpassed anything of the kind we have seen from New Jersey, the acknowledg- ed peach growing State of the Union. ED -Dr. O. T. Collins the physician attend ing Chester Goodale who was brutally assault cd and robbed in his barn at South Egremont week before last, reports the venerable man as failing gradually and it now begins to look as if he must die, particularly as one finger began to mortify. Monday afternoon. MT. Goodale does not appear conscious beyond certain point He knows when he is hurt, can ask for food ,or to be moved, but, when asked by Dr. Collins Sat- urday when he appeared the brightest since the assault, fine knew that he had been as- saulted and robbed, and if so who did it, he did not reply, though but moment before he was asking for food and rationally answering ! questions about his condition. Dr. Collins thinks that on account of his age the chances are more than probable that he will not recov- CT, and the modification is the most unfavor- able symptom yet.
 Town meeting passed off very quietly in this town, although there was more scratch ! ing than was ever known before. Everybody l seemed to have been reading Harpers Week y and taken George William Curtis advice to "scratch. The result was quite a surprise. Those who had been the special objects of at l tack came out of the contest with the largest majorities. The quiet substantial voters had evidently had something to say about the re. suit in a very quiet way. The average Dem. ! ocratic majority was between 50 and 60 and 1 the vote on Selectmen was as follows Sam uelnA. Bennett, l3l; Frederick Bronson, lOs John B. Reed, 95; Henry c. Stevens, 7s, We give the entire ticket as elected: Assessor. Elisha M Rood.
