 Some of our celebrated sportsmen have of late, been practicing at glass balls thrown from trap. The balls break when hit, which involves the ex- pense of replacing. Providentially, or otherwise, our men seem to be almost wholly spared that expense, but of course the fault is not with the marks men any more than in the case of Capt. Bodine's team in the last international contest. In these days you know, am- intuition is very often unreliable, or the wind may be puffy, or a slight touch of shakes may be coming on, but after all, the great trouble is with the guns used. Our American manufacturers with so few years experience cannot yet be ex- pected to turn out arms as perfectly re- liable as those used in the days of David and Goliath, and by some strange over- sight, when those used by our men were made and sighted, no allowance was made for the disarrangement of vision caused just at this time by the loss of sleep involved in successful search for sight of the great comet.
 The weather this fall has been un- usually favorable for curing the tobac- co crop. As yet no sales have been made and there will be much less risk and trouble if none are made until the leaf is cured, so that men may know just what they are selling or buying. The buyers report the markets dull and say that so much is being raised in the West that Connecticut seed leaf must be sold at low prices if used. The pro- ducers on the other hand, are happy in thinking that the crop is curing so nice- ly, and believe that as the drouth cut short the supply in the eastern part of the state, that in this section must sell at fair prices. 0.
