 "A large delegation from Litchfield went over to the Harwintol. Fair as usual. This seems to be one of the best specimens of the old fashioned ''Cattle Show" extant and the number of people in attendance we hear esti- mated as high as 5000.
 We are pleased to welcome back to this place former assistant in the matter of local news, the Rev. William E. Hooker, who has been studying theology for three years past in the Episcopal Seminary at Syracuse, N. Y, and was few weeks since ordained Deacon of the Protestant Episcopal church. Mr. Hooker read the morning service at St. Mi chacrs on Sunday last. We hear that he in- tends returning for permanent settlement to the Diocese of Central New York.
 -'rhe main sewer has been laid through to upper side of the courthouse lot, and is 81 rods in length. The jail branch is now being Iaid, and will be finished by Friday night The cost of the main sewer is about $600. It is expected that water will be carried from the roofs of the Court house and the Mansion House barns into reservoir on the Courthouse lot, from which the main pipe will be flushed at every rain. The sewer runs in straight line, with fall of not less than half a foot to the rod, so that there seems no reason to fear its filling up. With proper connections the hcalth of the borough ought to be no longer a matter of doubt.
 --Ex-Selectman Dutton and Dan Maxwell TocGupy the same apartment at the jailin Litch- ficil, both awaiting trIal in default of bail. " 4r room is in the topmost story of the ihuihiing, and though bare of carpet and scant 'hf furniture, is fairly we'll lighted and as con- .ortable as the place will admit Dutton is e9itto bear up bravely under his load of mis- fortune and in general appearance to be un- changed since he lost his liberty. The two spend their wakeful hours reading, writing and card playing, but probably they are not tenamored of their leisure or surroundings. Wim- .ste6 Press.
