MT. Meade, President of the New York and Northern Housatonic railroad from White Plains to the Housatonlc), was in town Tuesday in conference with gentle. men interested in the Shepang Valley R. R. The remainder of the N. '. < Northern Housatonic is contracted and will be built this season.
 - The storm whose disastrous effects in the valley of the Nangatuck We record in another place, passed north of this village and we had comparatively little rain.
 Il From bad weather and other causes the concreting of our walks went on slowly last week. The portions in front of the Court House, and that about St. Michael's church will soon be completed There will then be u continuous concrete pave ment from Judd's Building, around the Mansion House, to the Union House in West Street; and We hope tlls sections across the upper end of West Park to the Post Office and down the west side of South St.. will be put through next.
 On Saturday night the Thomastou cor net band gave us an open air concert. The weather Was so doubtful that but few ont side the village were present; but such as could be on hand enjoyed it extremely. After the concert the band were invited to q snppar nnt- min -Crnssmaa,s best style. Quite number from this village insisted in this part of the performance and the band left for Plymouth about midnight highly delighted with their reception.
 The Thomastoa band is one of the best in the State, the leading coronet, especially. being played with wonderful skill. In the softer music they were not always in tune; but what brass band is? We hope they will pay us another visit, soon, when they can surely calculate on an audience twice or three times as large as that of Saturday evening. - s'-.A }ts"" .-t-.@0 ea

saturday morning, the Court met per adjourn ment. Bronson, his wife, and Caroline Jaque were on triai and the evidence taken the previous day. was retaken, with the additional testimony of Mrs. Asaph Palmer and Mrs. Lyman Hall. With these exceptions the testimony did not vary materially rom that of the previous day, except that Mir. Bronson remembered that he struck Mansfield with his fist. that he guessed he did, at one time, try to choke him, and that Caroline struck him once with his walking cane. At late hour of the day, Lawyer Hubbard made very able and can did plea for the State, recapiuating the evidence in very quiet manner. He was followed bv Graves, who commenced calm and peaceful. but getting insprited with his subject and the interest and honor of his clients, and he gradually became powerfully eloquent. and his words, though sharp as razors, were not quite as smooth. He justified Bronson's conduct, comparing it with his own manhood and God-hood. and human nature in general, !" and dwelt long and loud upon the beau tiful love existing for years among the Brousons and the Pslmers, and. just as the audience were nearly dying with inexprsssible longings for re- newal of that affection, he said. over the left. We do not vouch for the truth of the following statement made by an individual who came into Court during the plea, and said, that telegraphic returns had just been received stating that every word Graves said was being heard all over the United States and the Canadas Bronson could well afford to pay Graves his fee, as he looked up his character and Caroline's, and found them up to that date without stain. Mansfield unfortu- nately was brute beast, and he recommended that the Court sentence him to the Fejee Islands, but their decision was as follows: Mansfield was fined S5 and costs of Court, in all sal05 Caroline was fined $500, and Bronson s7 and costs of Court making in all s37.68 We are inclined to think, that after paying these expenses and their lawyers charges. tho parties won't banker after another fight very soon.
