 relieved him from any serious consequent ces. So far asI know the summer com plaint has not troubled our citizen since. Hi segar had "poor turn" the other day and tumbled oyer the rail road track

A Final Concert

'' The people of the eastern portion of Litchfeld county arc under great obliga- ton to MT. J. B. Isbell, of Wolcottville, for the musical entertainments of an urus- ually excellent character he has given us during the past year. The concert at Win sted, some two weeks since, was, we be- ieye, the eleventh of the series. Mir, Is- bell has made no money by his experiment. but has taken the whole risk of an enter. prise whereof the public has reaped the whole advantage. We regret to hear that he is now compelled to remove to warm CT climate for the sake of his heslth, and he desires to dispose of his stock of musi. cal instrumepts worth about $2,1OO. He therefore proposes to give Grand Gift Concert at Waterbury during the coming month.
 This is the only way he can dispose of bis stock at short notice, without serious loss. The gifts will consist of pianos, cab jinet organs, .melodeons violins and the like and the public may be assured that the af. fair will be conducted with entire fairness. Special railroad facilities will probably be offered people desiring to attend, and all lovers of fgood music, hereabouts, will do well to % the last and best of the Isben con.

t 1t appears that there IS 8 scarcity of good books and especially of bibles in cour jail. This fact coming to the knowledge of MT. Rufus Smith, owner of the Mansion House, and proprietor of the Livery Stable appertaining to that hotel, he at once pur- chased ten testaments for the use of the
 prisoners On Sunday last they were pre-
 sented by Dr. Ball, the gentleman who has lately held religious services inl the jail, with appropriate remarks. ,l.
 A sad accident occurred at Little Pond, this "Wednesday forenoon. Messrs. John Dean, Charles Snively, and William Hutchings, undertook to swim across the pond, which is about a third of mile wide. When about half way across, Dean got exhausted and was drowned The others tried to save him but they could barely escape themselves. Mir. Dean was a.clerk at Tiffany & Co.'S, New York city, was about 21 years of age, and g son of Dean, the noted Broadway confectioner. who owned the Frederick Ly- man place in Goshen few years since. He has been staying at the Mansion House since Saturday, +.' '''e', ,-.. -i' # il.

,s p67- Mrs. Stowe's article on Lady Byron, in the September Atlantic meets with q storm of denunciationI from American
 journals, and we expect even a greater tempest from England. She paints Lady
 Byron in the most fattering colors. and accuses Lord Byron of incest. We cannot
 but admire Mrs. Stowe's honest, fearless,
 and generous defence of the memory of 8 friend; but it's wisdom is from presentsap- pearances somewhat questionable. qli29 t- {.

Aoot uqRP, ne Hnddenly cried nalnt3 Helpr The bbys in the boat threw an oaf to him. which was probably struck by the back of his hand. as it was thrown from him. and he sank to rise'no more. 1t was more than twenty-four hours before his body was recovered. Cannons were fred. and the water was dragged with hooks and within seine, which latter was successful after twenty, useless efforts. In the meantime. c telegrapa had been sent to New York z for asnb.marine diver. who came as far as Bridge port and was there stopped by, tel egram tf the bodys recovery. The news of the event spread through the adjoining
 towns and hundreds of persons visited the Lake during Friday. The body was taken out of the water by Washington Cogswell about sundown. His funeral was
 attended. Saturday. in the Congregational
 Church, St. Johns being too small to hold the concourse of people. by Rev. Messrs.
 Welton of Bridgewater, and Potter of Rox- bury.i His aunt, Miss Maria Brainard, the celebrated oratorio and concert singer, was present at the picnic, on her accustomed vocation. Young Welton was social, generous hearted youth and is deeply mourned by large circle of friends and relatives. He was . communicant of the St. Johns church. a @ e.sa! 1e ~@. VI
 Saturday. at three o'clock p. m.. two showers. one from the southwest and another from the northwest, met over the town. attended by heavy and severe thun- der, lightning, and rain. s. H. Mitchell's barn, at the old Capt. Taylor Mitchell place was set on fire by the lightning and with the out-buildings and their contents consumed. There wers some 40 shocks of oats. 70 shocks of rye. and 35 tons of hay in1the buildings. The farm was work. ed by John Meramble on shares, and is a severe loss to him. Barn insured in the town company for $2OO, and $2OO on con- tents. Mir. Meramble also lost a cart, new sleigh. pair of harnesses and buffalo robe by the fire. Franklin Hollister had eight sheep killed in a pasture lot, some distance from any tree. By 8 singular freak, the electricity struck hay stack belonging to Henry Seeley, on one side, ran along one of the hangers and thence down. MT. s.
 had returned home after the shower and two hours. had elapsed after the stack was struck before the fire broke out. He says
 two pails of water would have extinguished
 the fire when he reached it. He saved a large share of the hay as it was. There
 were several little whirlwinds in various places, that tossed rails about, knocked down corn and overturned trees. laise P
