 MR. EDITOR: II was somewhat astonished to find that was SO tardy iE getting my correspondence to you last week, as to occasion it's being left out entirely; and shall try to see to it that such, shall not be the cause again. understand that Tuesday is the day you expect your cores pondents to respond, and shall endeavor to not forget the day again, however I gre sume your readers suffered but little by the omission. The machine for grinding out items is rather "out of kilter,' or perhaps needs ''ile," as the supply of items turned out by it is rather limited. For lack of anything of greater moment, will tell you that the crops are looking finely, and prom ise an abundant harvest in all except hay, which is not more than two thirds crop. ......Rev. B. B. Sanford preached for us last Sabbath in the South church, and gave us a most excellent sermon, ..... Last Sat urday, man by the name of Cummings was arrested for stealing ring from George Potter, and bound over to await his trial. ...... ....Everybody is forbidden the privilege of fishing on Cream Hill pond for the next three years, by an act of the legislature. It appears to be the purpose of the people hereabouts to stock it with Black Bass, as several have already put quantity in the pond, and the State fish commission have agreed to send us seventy five more for the same purpose. This seventy five, with what is already in there is supposed to be sufficient to make most excellent fishing in the three years which they are to remain give you first class fish story .......A few items from my last week s letter, which was received by you too late for insertion, may not perhaps be too stale for this week, l will however, endeavor to condense them somewhat. I commenced by congratula- ting you upon the appearance of the NEWS. Among our people it ''takes, and already you have established among them reputa- ton for it, that must certainly be very gratifying to you. must not praise it too highly however, as do not wish you to think you are doing too aoeU; and thus re- lax any effort upon it.......Mr. s. J. Gold, the veteran genius of Cornwall, has lately invented new heating apparatus which was on trial all last winter, and has proved itself to be in every way success. It bids fair to outrival his we'll known invention for heating by steam, constructed several years ago. It is the culmination of years of study, and is calculated to take heat from stove or furnace and convey it to almost any distance through pipes. It appears perfectly feasible and possesses every vir- tue of steam heating arrangement and not only that, but is much cheaper, and its benefits can be enjoyed by those of very moderate incomes. ......As my letter is al- ready sufficiently long, think will not tell you of the horse trial of last week, ex- cept perhaps to say that it was @ very dis graceful affair on the part of one of the parties concerned in it. Our citizens very we'll know to whom l allude, and with whom they sympathise.

THE STORM SIGNALs.-The extension of the system of storm signals by the Signal Bureau at Washington is 8 highly com mendable improvement upon an already admirable arrangement. It is intended now to erect an observatory or tower on one of the highest buildings in lower Broadway,

The importance of this arrangement to our seagoing vessels and shippers, as well as to business men and pleasure par ties, can be seen without further comment.

b6 IuOT6 COUtEOUS :-LaSL w eOneSuay, as the construction train was passing through deep rock cut near Chapinville, they ran into fence which had been constructed across the track, and narrowly escaped a serious accident. We are requested to say to those who hereafter wish to put their fences across the road, to not take especial pains to place between the rails, in the center of the track large posts, strongly secured at the bottom to support their fence, and to manage in some way to give notice that an obstruction to rapidly passing train exists at the place. The Railroad men think, that if fence posts are on the track, they would prefer to know something abont it, and more particularly so, if they are placed on curve of the road, and in deep cut.

 Our Depot Last Tuesday morning the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum, President of the Conn. Western Railroad, and Mir. Shunk, the chief engineer of the road, were in our village looking out location for depot, also for the purpose of examining into the feasibility of building a tank to supply water for locomotives. As we go to press, nothing positive is decided concerning either, but we hope and expect next week to be able to give full particulars as to the exact location of the depot, and the gener- al plan of the structure. MT. Barnum was certainly very fair and reasonable in his statements and offers. The general tenor of his remarks being to this effect, and in fact these were his words, that eff the citizens would agree on place for it's To- cation, their request should certainly be granted, provided it could be done without too great expense being occasioned by their being accommodated with their own selection"

This splendid annual which is so
much admired by all lovers of flowers
has been found by many very difficult
TO winter. Having been uniformly
successful for many years in winter
ing bulbs and tubers we give our
method: Select a dry day in autumn
for digging, two or three weeks after
the foliage has been killed by the
frost. Dig carefully so as not to break
the roots; shake off all the loose
earth cut the stalk three or four
inches above the tubers; tie on
wooden labels as soon as you take
each root from the ground. This will
save many mistakes in regard to
colOrs. Let the roots remain in the
sun during the day; then place them
in a box or barrel; set them in a dry
room or back kitchen, where there
will be no danger of freezing. After
a week or more look them over care
fully. BY this time most Of them
will besufficently dry. Replace them
in the barrel; if any roots appear
moist, place them at the top; set
them swayin q dark closet in an up
per room, where there will be no
danger from frost; there they many
remain without further care until
spring. Dahlias thus wintered we
have always found sprout early in
April, and when planted out in May
in sheltered situations have given
magnificent flowers by the first of
July. We have also witnessed them
with good success in a dry cellar, but
they will be fully q month later than
when kept in an upper room. This
method will be found easier than
packing in sand and with us has
proved equally good. t-

WoMAN's ADvANTAGEs.-We hear a great deal
said nowadays about the advantages possessed
by men over women-about the comforts, pleas
ures, privileges and rights enjoyed by men and
denied to women. The following, taken from
an exchange, sets forth the advantages Of being
a woman


A woman says what she chooses without be-
ing knocked down for it, She can take snooze
after dinner, while her husband goes to work.
She go out on the street without being
asked TO stand treat at the saloon. She can
stay home in time of war, and get married
again if her husband gets killed. She can wear
corsets if too thick, and other fxngs if too thin.
She can get her husband in debt all over, until
he warns the public not to trust her on his ac-
count But all these advantages are balanced
by the great facts that she cannot sing bass go
sparkling or climb tree with any degree of pro-
priety."
