Rats nearly ruined Deep River horse a few nights ago, by nibbling his legs just above the hoofs- An application of tar cured the wounds and spoiled a meat diet for the rodents.
 The barns, sheds and outbuildings with their contents forty tons of hay, horse and several hogs, all belonging to Earl Sampson & Son, of Simsbury, were totally destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon
 Last Monday butcher cart was crossing the Air Line bridge north of John Andrews residence, Wallingford, just as train of cars passed under; the horse attached became frightened and ran away, throwing out the driver, bruising him severely and breaking several ribs. He belonged in Middletown.
 It is very curious fact that thunder show CTS, in passing down the Naugatuck valley, will never go below Derby except at certain stages of the tide. If the tide is coming in the shower will continue on toward the seq without interruption, but if the tide is ebbine the shower either breaks up or else divides and goes to the east and west. This pecu- liarity has been marked for years, and has never been known to vary by the oldest resi- dent of Derby.

pecially should those critics consist of a tsiury of matrons." If the judges are of the other sex the case is quite as awkward. Even the recognized censors of morals and society are not without human weaknesses. Perhaps it would not do to inquire too curiously into their lives When all the world live in glass houses not many stones are seen flying in the air-or if they are thrown they come from the hands of outsiders, like the terrible MT. Bright, who began an attack on society the other day which, if followed up, might lead to important consequences. Luckily for society MT. Bright is no longer young and is far less disposed than he used to be to exercise his wonderful power over the pas sions of the multitude. Instead of Bright we have Bradlaugh-but Bradlaugh as cen sor of morals would be a spectacle too ab- surd for even the enlightened British shoe maker to regard without derision.
 It may safely be taken for granted that the censorship which exercised in reference to the list of ladies' names for the ball on Thursday was not painfully severe. Allow ances were made in spilit of the utmost charity and toleration. After all, it is very hard to prove anything against anybody. WheR the party was made up, it only re- mained to spend money enough on the house to make it suitable for the reception of over two thousand guests. That was an affair easily arranged. If eighty-five gentlemen give only e10O each, the sum of e9, 800 is
  cost two or three times that amount. For the entire house had to be specially furnished, and Indian and Persian carpets and
 scarlet silk hangings are not to be had for nothing. The lake, made at so great an out lay by Baron" Grant, was illuminated by
 means of the electric light, and gondolas adorned with colored lamps moved to and
 fro upon it, just as if everybody had been transported by magic to Venice for sum- mer's holiday. Every country in the world had contributed something to the fete-
 America it's fruits, if nothing more. But it also sent some very hand some women. Then there was a gorgeous display of fireworks, and burst of illuminations, the reflection of which could be seen miles away. The trans formation scene in pantomine was nothing to it. At midnight the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived and were received by all the givers of the entertainment The royal couple did not return home till past 3 in the morning. Large was the throng which poured into the gardens and house, there was no crowding and no one suffered ineonven- ience Even when people wanted supper, they found to their surprise that it could be obtained without the least trouble or difficult ty It was not necessary to struggle through surging mass of human beings; no one poured champagne down your neck or drop ped an ice cream into your lap. Most won derfu1 of all, even your carriage could be found and brought to the gate the moment it was wanted.

PEACHES. APPLES AND BERRIES

The peach season is yet in its infancy, but
 by the middle of August 8 glut in the market
 may be expected, as the indications from
 Delaware and Maryland point to liberal
 crop.
 During the past two weeks Southern fruit,
 from Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia,
 has been received in small quantities. and,
 as is always the case with early fruit the
 leading hotels got them at fancy prices. Since the 18th inst. small shipments of Delaware and Maryland peaches have been received, but the first real large consignment to this market will arrive to-day. The crop is too weeks earlier this season than usual, and the supply will, of course, be exhausted just that l much sooner so when the fruit has fairly begun to come in those who intend to buy
 had better not hold of, for if they do they
 will run the risk of not getting any. AS re- gards the quality of the present years peach, it must be said that it is somewhat small, although some dealers say the later crop will be up to the standard. The crop is smaller than that of 1875, but fully 9 per cent. larg-
 CT than that of last year. Those now arriv-
 ing will sell for $1 per basket for good and
 50 cents for ordinary, but in ten days time the market will be overstocked and prices l will be made by the public.
 Throughout the country the apple crop is reported large, especially in New York State which supplies the world with the largest and 1 sweetest apples grown. In and around Penn 1 sylvania the crop is very good average one | being somewhat larger than that of last sea- 1 son. The local crop, however, is known as | the summer apple and is now in the market l but the winter apple and the one generally known as the eating apple, and which comes from New York and the East, does not make 1 it's appearance until September and October They are designated the Fall Pippin,
 Golden Pippin, King, Greeny, Spitzenberger,
 Baldwin, etc. Those now in the market, 1 which sell from $1.5O to $25O per barrel, are the Strawberry, Maiden's Blush and others The strawberry and raspberry crop this
 season was unusually light, owing to the dry
 weather in May and June, and as result the
 packers experienced great difficulty in buy l ing enough to prepare for the usual winter 1 demand for preserves, although they offered
 much larger prices than ever before. Huck- leberries, however, are plentiful and of good l quality and are sold at low prices.

To THE ED1roR-For the benefit of any of your readers who may be interested, I beg to say, from personal observation, that Bright's disease of the kidneys is certainly curable. My friend, Mir. Joshua Tuthill, of Saginaw, Mich, was attacked by it. and was in most critical situation. His family physician rec commended him to take Hunts Remedy, the great kidney and liver medicine. He did so. His symptoms gradually subsided, and, at the end of a short time, entirely disappeared He was completely cured, and is well man to-day. Recommend your readers to try Hunts Remedy. Respectfully

Robert CrIswcll, the man whose wit gave the oil City Derrick it's funny reputation, played a heartless joke on a Cincinnati car conductor lhe other day. lriswell was going home on the horse-car in question, and it was crowded inside, so he loafcd on the rear platform. The conductor told him to go inside, CrisWeli said he dIdn't care Co go inside; but the con duCtOr insisted, and loudly threatened Co put him off, Everybody began Go look at the dispute but CrisWeil saw nobody that knew him and deter mined JO have his joke. The conductor yelled. {" Come, young fellow, get inside or I'll bounce you clear across the street,' Crisweil turned on hlm in a severe manner. " My man, you don't know who l am. but I've had my eye on you for several days There are too many conductors like you on the road. and we are losing friends every day because our patrons are iu- suited by conductors who are boors aud rufians Now you can pull tbc bell cord and lot me of. But you need not take the ear out tomorrow , there will be man Go take your place. When you take the car ia tC- night turn over your De,lpunCh and ask for your time. That wIll settle it. Taking mental note oi the number oI the ear, he waited for it next day and there was a new conductor. The newspaper man asked: ' W here IS the conductor #ho was ou yesterday

y,naorbilt's Thrift.

William II. Vanderbilt, while abroad, keeDs I'D a constant telegraphic con- necfion with his broker, and IS thus advised of all indications that may appear on the financial horizon He is thus enabled Co invest his heavy m come in an advantageous manner at % distance of 5000 miles. Among the recent financial facts is the big check made out at the United States Treas urv in favor of William for S00,OjO, being quarterly interest on hls share in the Government loan. The pres ent amount of the national debt IS sl SJO. 100000. of which he owns S6J,- OOO 900. or l-30th part. He may be considered the largest holder of such proper,v in the world, and his inter est at per cent is $2iO, 600 a year.
 We thus see that he draws Soj0 per day from this source alone. No won dca he can pay fabulous sums for the productions of the best masters. We formerly heard much said of Inc wealth of the Rolhschilds, but can even that opulent family make bet ter show than this colossal capitalist, who has so suddenly taken the lead lG the worlds array of wealth2 Nothing but death or Idiocy can prevent Will liam from being tbe richest man in the world. Ii he lives ten years he will be worth not less than S2UO, ,tOo,- GOO. This may seem almost incrcd- ible. but it is not more SO than tho increase during the past decade. Ten years ago William was an heT pros pective, but personally consIdergd, he was not worth more than 9 house and perhaps a couple of hundred thou sand. At present, however, he has a capital estimated ct S5J,0o0, ,oJJ n highly productive property, whose profits are carefully invested. He probably now accumulatcs SjLO. 900 a month. none of which is allowed Co lie idle Any one cansec how rapidly such accumulation will reach even such a sum as is mentioned above.

TOMBSTONE NOTES.
What Our Neighbors are Doing Prep arations for Christmas Notes from the Ifnes- Races. etc.

TOMBSTONE, December 2l.-It has been some tine since my last letter, but it has been no fault of mine; and the only excuse I can give is the scarcity of news.
 The town is filled with strangers, and everything is running along as smoothly as one could wish. All the stores are receiving a large stock of Christmas goods for the holidays. The stock at Marshall Williams IS worth ones while Co see, and l have no doubt that it will surpass anything Ofits kInd in the Territory. Glover & Co. also have a fine stock of gents goods.
 Speaking ol stores, Mr. Kelly, of Kelly's Wine House, is erecting inc building on Allen street, near the Grand Hotel, which will be occupied on the 23d instant by Dillon & kenelay dy, importers of fancy dry goods and gents furnishings.
 Last Sunday evening the Rev. Mr. Woods dedicated his new church. At the service a collection was taken up to cover the debt on the new church, and the people responded most generous lv, the collection amounting 10 S5OO.
 The Presbyterian and Methodist churches will have Christmas trees for the little ones of their Sunday school classes.
 Now. as to the mines. There have been no important strikes In any ol them during the past week, except the Sunset; but they have all been steadily increasing in body and rich ness, but not to enough extent Go make an important strike.
 The Sunset, in shaft No. 2, at the depth of 100 feet struck a large body of ore which assays well up.
 The Bradshaw is looking better than il ever has, and they are now sinking on as good a body Of ore as has ever been struck m camp. They are now down about l60 feet. Mir. Bihcke is still sinking on hIs Allen street shaft Of the Mountain Maid, and there is every indication of striking as large body of ore before ! they 90 many feet deeper. On the Tough Nut they are placing | the machinery m the new hoisiins works house, and are now cown about ! 14J feet.
 Christmas will be a lively day here. ] There are to be Iaces at Charleston-a mile and repeat for the trotters, and a mile and repeat for the runners. They both promise 10 be most eTciung, a7 some Of the best horses in the Terri tory are entered for both, Between the heats there will be an exhibition Of speed against time by Johnny Beans pacing mare. .,
 At the Tombstone course there Will be a foot race of 100 yards dash, he ! tween Messrs. Whicher and Helyer for SfJ0 a side There will also be 1 turkey-shooting match, and aii the | best shots are entered. One can look for some good shooting.
