- FOURTH OF JULY.-The Fourth, or Fifth of July rather, was passed very quietly, the usual stiffness being disturbed attimes by the small boys firecrackers. A few of the neigh bors held picnic in MT. Joseph Clark's grove and enjoyed few hours of social chat, to which was added a fine repast. The woods resounded with the song, My Country, tis of Thee" and there were other exercises appro- priate to the occasion. The rain, as usual, drove us all home, and we are led to the conclusion that if picnics came oftener we should be less troubled with dry weather.

The Warren court martial seems to have re suited in decided impression that Sheridan's action was nasty and unjust. The evidence taken certainly tends to prove that Gen. War. ren did all that could have been reasonably ex- pected towards carrying out Sheridan's plan of attack at Five Forks. On the other hand we must remember that testimony fifteen years after the event can hardly do justice to either side; and that an officer may justify himself by showing that he had done reasonably well, when his commander, who had expected great things of him, was greatly and justly disap- pointed.

 Comparing with previous censuses we find that the county has made larger gain during the decade just past than in any other ten years except that between 1840 and 1850. That great increase came after the completion of our first railroad facilities (Housatonlc and Naugatuck); and the present gain comes after the second era of railroad building among us (Watertown, Conn. Western and Shepaug).

The suit against Bradlaugh to recover the penalty of $25O0 incurred by any person not duly qualified for voting in Parliament, has a better basis, it would appear, than Americans might naturally suspect.
