LITCHFIET,D.

Loungers, and others, at the Mansion House. Saturday forenoon, were much in- terested in an interview between Father Leo, the Catholic priest, and Tim Daley, of Milton, one of his flock. As Father Leo drove up to the hotel, Tim, who had been celebrating" little freely, stagger- ed up to his carriage. "Go away!" said the Father. as he saw Tim's condition, "Go away. HI'd good whip I'd give you a h-l of thrash" Tim didn't move off at once and Father Leo repeated his re mark, further calling Tim '.curse.''
 We judge that the good Fathers English instructor taught him some words not in general use among American ministers, and some friend should suggest to him, also, that the horse-whip is weapon Amer jeans do not allow their clergy. It is prop. CT enough for Fulton, and the like, to threaten punishment in the next world; :; but the finite castigations of this world are no longer at their disposal.
 Tim got so drunk before night that he was arrested and put in the lookup. We understand that he settled with the State of Connecticut for about $5, but we doubt whether he makes his peace with the Holy Roman Church for any such amount.

 The selectmen have begun their drain at the County House corner of the village square. It is to be about three feet square Tn the clear, 10 be made of flat stone and bids fair to hast. There was some objec. tion to the project on account of the ex- pense, and talk of calling town meeting, but opposition seems to have been aban- doned.
 A serious accident occurred east of the village on Monday. As MT. s. R. Conklin and family were driving on Chestnut Hill they met Mir. T. D. Baldwin's donkey cart. MT. Conklins horse took fright at the don key, and upset tlsem.in the ditch. Mrs. Conklin was severely hurt, tainted and internal injuries are feared. MT. O., was badly cut about the head, and the boy had an arm much bruised. The driving of donkeys about our streets really occasions much risk to travellers; many horses seem to be frightened out of their wits at the sight of them.
 The village has filed up rapidly with summer boarders during the last few weeks. The Mansion House has between forty and fifty boarders. mostly from the the city; the United States between twen- ty and thirty and Messrs. Candee, Bron- son and others taking boarders have full houses.
