 The young ladies' sewing circle will meet in the church parlor Thursday af- ternoon. There are many people who think charity begins at home. It may be well to mention that the work the young ladies purpose doing is not for natives of Africa, neither for the needy in the far west, but in aid of those in trouble and affiiction in our own village. We now have occasion to see some effects of democratic rule. The present postmaster, CA. Eaton, will soon resign his position; C.S. Smith takes the place.

CONNECTToUTS TOBACCO CROP.
From ae Rridaeport Lender.

From the Bridgeport Leader.
 The yield of tobacco in good pro ductive year in Hartford and Holland counties is about 12, 900 cases, each con taining about 360 pounds. Of this total about 1000 cases are raised in the towns of Ellington, Somers and Vernon, in Holland county, Ellington producing more than all the rest of that county. This leaves the production of Hartford county alone at II, 900 cases, or about 4, 1000, 900 pounds of tobacco. The sales last year were at 10 cents pound, an unusually low price, and it is not ex- travagant to put this years crop as high az 12R cents. At this estimate an aver age full yield would make the value of the crop $5OO,OOO. The storm on Mon- day, August 24, destroyed at least 10 per cent of the entire crop.
