The town feels proud, and justly so, of her 1 cemetery Beyond question Norfolk can boast of having the incest of this kind that can be found in any country town in this state, and the resting place of her dead, which for 50 many years was neglected, now receives careful attention.
 At some future time I will speak further of the many other improvements in the town her manufacturing interests and grand scenery; but to all in search of good homes for the summer, where health can be restor. ed, we would advise this old Litchfield coun. ty town. SANDFoRD. SOuGhfieId.

 Barnum's big show called out large crowd
 from all the neighboring towns, and the
 streets were thronged all day.
 Trade in Pittsfeld is very lively on all pleasant days, and summer boarders are l ;,, fo +o he hnfo Tho
 House is very much improved in appearance I have remarked one peculiarity in Pitts
 field; the churches are all well filled upon
 Sundays, both in the day time and evening.
 Each church has had an evening devoted tc children, and the altars, etc. have been beau
 tifully decorated, and the different pastors
 have made graceful appropriate remarks, suit able to children. One pastor spoke of the , several phases of anger, and he said, "Chi dren, when the face becomes flushed, ther the boy or man will fight when man cries
 then look out for him, but when he laughs when he is mad, then he is planning to attack you in some underhanded way" ] We heard that a celebrated singer was tt sing at the Catholic church, and although il f rained, we were present, and all we antici [ pated was fully realized. I never heard { sweeter, and at the same time, more pow erful female singer 1.-The audience wat electrified" The priest spoke in 8 clear 8 thorough, instructive manner upon the sub feet of children. He did not mince his word ? at all First he spoke of the blessedness c . raising large families, and the wickedness o <. limiting children, etc. Children should b d baptized, should be governed by love an e firmness" It was 'tlgerish revenge to pun if ish them in anger, to strike on the head, or d injure them in any way. They never shoul d be frightened or have blood and thunder ste !. ries told them. They should be put to trad r. early, every child, and taught to suppo ,. themselves and fathers should support the
 children, they should starve themselves,
 need be, to feed them. A father was hums
 ostrich that abused and neglected his chi
 dren." He also said Ia good mother h'
 good children; her virtues, smiles and wort
 are photographed on their little hearts" H
 ords were practical enough to apply well ne all churches, and thought it would be we
 for all protestants to practise.
