The success of the Read Carpet Co.'S Car few years ago making not more than five or six thousand yards per month they have in- creased to an enormous production which is all mediately taken up by such leading houses as A.

They are not only the handsomest designs, many of them rivalling the best Body Brus- sells. but they are superior in quality to any Carpet made, and are sold at prices lower than the same grade of any other make.

The Hayden Trial.

The Hayden trial lias finally resulted, as has been generally anticipated, in disagreement of the jury. The case was argued with great abilityo on behalf of the State by Messrs. Wal fer and Harrison i; on behalf of the prisoner, by Messrs. Watrous and Jones.- The charge, ny Judge Park, has been considered heavily adverse to the prisoner. The case went to the jury on Friday and they remained in continu. ous session Gan uncommon proceeding in Con- necticut practice) till Monday night, when they were finally discharged. On the first ballot they stood to for acquittaL Three of the four were willing to agree to an acquittal, but the twelfth man, who had at first voted for a verdict of murder in the first degree, refused to yield. There is little doubt that the prisoner will be admitted to bail, which will amount to discharge unless further evidence should be discovered against him.
 Thus, after running ffty-seven days, the longest trial ever known in the State there re- suits in effect verdict of Mot proven" It has been an enormous waste of time, of sci ence, of eloquence and has tended, 30 far as it has any tendency, to prove that respectable men are not to be convicted of crime except upon the vefy strongest evidence. There re- mains no doubt, great cloud of suspicion on the prisoner. but that proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt" which the law requires. was not offered.
 The case has seemed to ns, sll the time, one that ought probably never to have been pros- ecuted in the higher court, after the prisoners discharge by the magistrate on preliminary examination. Since the trial began, it has been most unreasonably prolonged, and great deal of time has been wasted on minute bits of evidence of no practical value. More judges time has been taken in this one case than has been vouchsafed to the Litchfield coun- ty superior court for the past two years, and no doubt our dockets will become more crowded thau ever, and that our business will suffer more than ever in consequence We hope that old Connecticut will never see any more Hayden cases

A BuRGLARY.-The house of Mr. Geo. Pitchard situated about half mile south of the Center was entered by burglars, Thursday night, and one hundred and fifty dollars in money and valuable gold watch taken. Mr. Pitchard and wife -were at the Warren House attending the Masonic ball. The house was entered by the use of skeleton keys, and a small dog which was left at home was locked in back room. The loss falls heavily upon Mir. P. and it is hoped that the rascals may be ferreted out. Sheriff Chatfeld and Con- stable Scott searched the house of George Hickox on the Waterbury road to-day (Mon- day) but no clue to the stolen property could be obtained. The robbery may have been committed by the same gang that operated here short time ago, but it is the opinion of some and not few. that the thieves were we'll acquainted with the premises and knew of the amount of money in the house.
 STILL ANOTHER !-The house of Henry Judd, on the Litchfeld turnpike, three miles north of the Center, was broken into Sunday night, and all the silver ware, cutlery, &c, gathered into basket. It IS supposed that as they were making their escape the silver ware which was placed in basket got upset upon the floor, and the noise alarming the burglars they made good their escape leaving all behind them. An overcoat which they had taken was also found in the dooryard. The noise awaking MT. Judd, he arose and gathered his silver together but made no ef- fort that night to capture the thieves <
 On the 10th inst, Mr. Pa.dees house. also on the Litchfeld road, and near the line of Morris, was broken into and all the silver which they possessed except one spoon. was taken. Mr..P. heard no noise and did not know of his loss until the following day.
