 Horse, Bridge, &o.-A correspondent says: "A horse walked off the Ore Hill bridge one day last week." Did it hurt him any?

 Some Beet.-Mr. Silss A. Miller has brought beet in our office that measures twenty inches in length. How much better than that can you do?

 Still Another.-We are informed that at the enumeration of people over eighty years old short time since in THE NEWS, Edward Dauchy, who is eighty-two years old, was not among them, which of course is not as it should be, and we do him jus tice by thus alluding to the fact.

 Bring Anything.-Have you read the little colored slip on your paper lately Those who are not in arrears are not afraid of it, and those who are, needn't be. It is very interesting reading. anyway; If you have n't got the money, bring along some potatoes; 8 load of chips; GnythSng ! Yes, anything is better than starvation.

 No Constable.-How about this ? We have no Constable in this village. Perhaps we are the most peaceable, order loving part of the town and need none. If so, of course everybody is glad, but one might be handy when we are visited by the citizens of other parts, to choke lem into good be- havior. Cannot this state of affairs be remedied?

 Lime Rock Conoert.-The concert at the new Trinity Church in Lime Rock, last Tuesday evening, was largely attended and was of the first order in every respect. All seemed pleased with the music, the new organ and the church, and, with the bit of an entertainment at the residence of the Hon. Vim. H. Barnnm afterward, made out an evening of much pleasure.

 Who Sent It?-We received, few days since, an envelope addressed to us in very business like manner, the writing being very good indeed, and which was nicely sealed, enclosing nothing whatever but two dollar bill: no name, nor writing, not even blank paper. We have n't the re- motest idea who sent it, and should be glad if same handwriting would inform us to whom to give credit.

 That Hat.-Have you seen Bushnell's hat lately? We have taken especial pains to bring it over on this page this week, to give all fair shot at it. That hat, before it got that kink in it's brim, was about as handsome as any of lem, and even now it serves very good purpose to adorn his ad- vertisement, which says something about well, about 8 good many things; for in- stance: MT. B. is getting large trade from over. this way, and we know of no reason for it, unless because he sells good goods cheap. and deserves it, and that's reason enough.

 Found Dead.-Last Monday morning an old gray headed man,, perhaps sixty years old, German, by the name of Miller, who has worked in Warren some time past as shoemaker, was found dead, lying face downward in about five inches of water under the bridge in that village known as the Talmadge bridge. At the time our in- formant left, no inquest had been held and we can give no reliable information as to the cause of death. We are informed, however, that this man was not known to be incorporate, or ever showed any symp- toms of insanity.

 Nor Here Either.-The New York Led ger remarks: ''One of the injurious effects of the prevailing depression in business is the postponement of marriages. Many 8 young man whose wedding day had been fixed sometime this autumn, finds his cir cumstances so different from his calcula- tions that be feels obliged to put off the event to which he had looked forward with anticipations of so much pleasure. It is creditable to the ladies that they generally bear these disappointments with suitability, while they keenly feel the bitterness of hope deferred" The Hartford Cour0nt says: ''This may do for. New York, but1 there is 10 such injurious effect apparent in this vicinity" --

 Nor here either. People have been get ting married like the Old Harry around here lately. ..

 The New Mill.-The new grist mill on Washinee street, which has been under process of construction for nearly year past, is now fully completed, and Messrs. Eggleston 6 Selleck announce themselves in an advertisement in another column as ready for the patronage of the people, This mill is unquestionsbly one of the best in the country. In it's construction we un- derstand no pains have been spared to make it the best in its every part; the ma chlnery introduced being that most ap- proved by the best millers, and the prepri- etors feel confident of their ability to make work that will not suffer in comparison | with that from any mill in the country Among other things in thelr advertisement they announce their determination to do | business on the cosh plan, and they assure | us it is their full purpose to adhere to this determination at all hazards. This is an | excellent idea, and we hope and expect they will do this most perfectly. Nearly all agree on the fact that our present pro- longed depression in business was brought about by the credit system of the country, and it now has got to be the bene of a bus mess life. We congratulate these gentle men in their determination to sink or swim" on the cash plan, and entertain no anxiety but that they will, obtain all the good business of the section, and aW tsot ss good for anything cf the ot7ser sort.
