COUNTY ITEMS.

Among tu0 appointments mau6 by the New York east Conference of the Nj. E. Church, which closed its annual session at New York on Tuesday, are the following;

 WooDBURY.- Wm. H. Mckay of Woodbury, dislocated his wrist while play ing farmers croquet alone on lawn oi his own.-American.
 WArERrowN.-We see from the American that the final location of the Watertown railroad has been settled npon. The cor respondent of that paper says further.
 Ground has been broken on Brown s farm and on Waterbury Town Poor farm; and the contractor,D Minahan, Jr. seems determined to put the road through in the shortest possible time. Shanties are erec- ted at different localities along the line, and rumor has it, that at least 150 men will be at work, in few days. The pres. ident of the road, having no outside press ing occupation this Summer, will doubtless give his personal supervision to the build. ing thereof,-and we hope to see daily trains running over the road. ere the Summer IS gone-so mote It be.
 Another correspondent of the paper states that Dr. DeForest of Watertown voted 30 years since for striking the word "white" out of the Constitution. For this vote the doctor incurred much odium but insisted that negroes would eventually be granted that right. On Friday last while the salute was being fired in honor of the Fifteenth Amendment the doctor paid visit of coincidence to some, of his former tormentors.
 GosHEN.-The blacksmith shop at West Goshen has again changed hands, and is now run by O. G. Adams. Report calls him an excellent workman.
 -F. E. Hurlburt has sold his residence in the Centre, to D. N. Lewis.
 George l.. Stewart, of this place, one of the original Company c. men of the 18th O. ", was married in Bridgeport, last week, to Miss Minnie Relknap, of that city.-Herold
 HARw1NToN. The pews of the Congre- gational Church sold on Monday, realizing s about $1. 100. A few, however, remain un- sold.-Herald.
 l NoRTHFIELD.-We boiled here about one aundred votes out of one hundred and twenty-five in that part of Northfeld which lies in Litchfield. Quite convenient it is to compose separate voting district. With such travelling and such weather, it is doubtful whether more than one half or two thirds would have gone to Litchficld. Herald.
 THoMAsvoN.- The woods of Jonathan Warner, near the woolen mill, caught fire Thursday morning from garden bonfire bear by, as is supposed, and burnt over Hwo or three acres of ground before it Dnld be got under. The trees were most hemlock and spruce. Twenty or thirty | len from the mill fought the flames sev-
 hl hours before they could stop the work q destruction.
 | EAs Mrs. Delany, an Irish woman, was ickssing the track at the depot one day
 tk week, her foot was caught by the down
 tAn and dreadfully crushed. She was
 ding hurriedly from Burr & Stoughton's
 ste, and owing to some cars that were
 stAding on the side track, did not see the aHoaching train-hence the accident, wAh falls heavily on the woman and
 hefamily, Tal2ey Lnder.
