highly productive, may mention that Mr. VIII

Beautiful as the town and country are, their
charms are entirely lost sight of in the Astounding
hospitality and courtesy of the people. Nearly
every house was thrown open freelysto members
of the Conference, and the citizens We'd with each
other in showing us respect and attention. Among
those TO whom your correspondent feels especially
indebted are Mr. VIM. Il. Benton, to whose kind
and graceful hospitality we were fortunately as
signed Hon. Thos. j. Heating, our efficient and
faithful State Comptroller; Mr. VIM. McKenney,
of Centrevlle in general, the delegates were under
very many obligations for their considerate kind
ness; and can say, that If were young man,

Literary Entertainment Mt Oakland
School,

Having had the pleasure of attending, on the
evening of April 4th the entertainment of Oak
land School, / was most agreeably entertained
by the young ladies and gentlemen composing
the school Owing to the beautiful evening, the
large and fine school-room was well filled with a
large and appreciative audience who had appar-
emily gathered from far and near to pass pleas
ant hour within those classic walls The exercises
comprised recitations, declamations, dialogues,
and vocal and instrumental music One of the
most pleasing features of the exercises was the
music, which was intcrspcrsed throughout the
programme and was most ably rendered
The exercises of the evening were opened with
singing the Oakland Welcome" by the whole
school. Many choice and select pieces were re-
cited, with declarations and dialogues interven-
ing. Some of the rectations by the young ladies
were most entertaining, one being entitled "The
Brook, part of which being prose, interspersed
with verses of that beautiful little song, by Ten
nyson, entitled also "The Brook" which was
sung by theyoung lady, accompanied with music
Another recitation deserving a brief mention
was most ably rendered by one of the little ones
1t was entitled "Tom." The latter part being
poetry was sung by her most beautifully, she
being also accompanied by music. The various
dialogues that were spoken were very entertain
ing and amusing, and were most ably performed
by the participants. One especially, the "Latin
Class" spoken by pupils pursuing the study,
was well spoken, but perhaps was not understood
by many present
A German piece played by one of the young
ladies, was most beautiful selection, and well
performed.
The entertainment closed by singing that
sweet old song, "Home, Sweet Home" by the
whole school, after which the audience wendell
their way homeward, feeling, no doubt, that
they had passed a pleasant evening, and with
their best wishes for the welfare of the school
and its continued prosperity Ell

it will fall short of last years crop.

Hon. James ID. Waters, Judge of the Circuit
Court for Hartford county, has invented and re-
ceived patent for an exceedingly useful contrv-
ance for fastening and unfastening cattle in
stables. He has it in practical use in his stables
where it works with perfect success A committee
of the Deer Creek Farmers Club recently made a
thorough examination of the invention and at the
last meeting Of the club submitted the following
report:
The undersigned committee, appointed at the
last regular meeting of the Deer Creek Farmers
Club, 10 examine the mode of fastening and uu-
fastening cattle in their stables recently adopted
ny Judge waters, ask leave 10 make this their re-
port:
We have made thorough examination, both for
our own satisfaction and for the information Of
brother farmers who may be interested in the mat
ter. We find the contrivance used by Judge
Walters entirely unlike all the modes of fastening
cattle which we have ever SEEM very simple
III construction and comparatively inexpensive.
=, me hrst advantage which we would remark Is
thatit works with absolute certainty that is when
steer Is fastened. ii would seem to be inpossihp
for him to come loose by accident, and when the
lever Is moved To unfasten them, it Is absolutely
impossible for any one TO remain fastened.
The arrangement is durable, with nothing about
1t liable to break or get out of order. When once
put into Il stable we no reason why il should
not remain in perfect working order us long as thu,
stable lasts.
We first unfastened few steers sngly and ind
that cattle fastened by this mode may be unfasten-
ed separately with much greater ease than by the
usual method. Then by using a lever on the ont
side of the stable we unfastened ten at a time. in
one second or less.
The great advantage of such continuance in
case OF fire is of course apparent because with il
one might often save his stock, when without il
all or many would most certainly perish.
But we think that even as great or greater ad-
vantage than this is the great facility of fastening
and untastening the stock in every day use
The continuance is adapted for either horse or
cattle stables, but we think peculiarly useful for
cattle stables.
-, Considering it in every respect, we believe that
a NV fi,aT r.nY
useful and that as soon as it becomes generally
known 1t will entirely supersede all the usual
methods of fastening cattle in the stables
