One of those pleasant social gather

remnants of household and renew
the bonds of affection and friendship
that should exist in all families, oc-
Cured on "Wednesday, Oct, 26th, at
the residence of Mrs. Patience Bump,
the aged relict of Col. Philip Bump,
late of this town. The venerable mat
ron, now eighty-two years of age,
was cheered on. this occasion by the
presence of nearly all her posterity
now living, the few who were absent
sending Letters which were read. The
company assembled numbered over
fifty persons, who spent the time
happily and agreeably in cheerful So
ciel conversation, in singing appropri-
ate songs, and in pleasant games,
which brought renewal of youthful
feelings to all ages present. 1t was
the request of Father Bump that the
reunions should take place annually
at the old homestead. A historical
sketch of the family will be furnished
by one of its members, and read at
the next meeting which will undoubt-
edly be of very much interest to all
concerned. g.sL51 1
The F. w. Baptist church held their
Quarterly Meeting at the Center on
Saturday and Sunday last, at which a

On Friday evening last two or three
youngsters (whose names we have)
under the inspiration of the contents
of pint flask of BENZINE, committed
sundry depredations, breaking WIN
dows, and raising Cain generally at
the house of widow John Frost. A
crock of apple butter, and valuable
overcoat, came up missing. A visit
from our worthy constable, armed
and equipped with certain papers
might prove beneficial as a cure for
the disease with which the boys were
afflicted.

CORRESPONDENCE.


/ For the last few days the weather
has been very warm and pleasant with
the exception of few rain storms,
which have not lnterfered materially
with potato digging or the gathering
of fruit among the farmers. In this
vicinity a large amount of apples has
been packed in barrels and shipped to
yarious,poiuts to be disposed of. Ap-
pie drying is being carried ON quite
extensively in this vicinity, although
many farmers insist that the price
which dried fruit brings this season
is too small to pay for the trouble.
A few days since Mr.. King,a mem
Der of the firm of King & Lawrence,
manufacturers of hatchets and other
edge tools in This place, made an as
signhient for the benefit of his cred-
itors. The mandatory of edge tools
will not, probably, be continued. by
this firm. The class of goods produced
by this factory has been superior to
those produced by any other factory
in this part of the State. Eft1T
On the 18th of last month the Box
Factory of Addison Hancock, at Man
tua Station was consumed by fire.
The building and machinery was in
sured to the amount of four thousand
dollars in the Royal Insurance Com
paDy of Liverpool, England. At the
the same time his dwelling house and
household furniture were injured by
the flames and cinders from the burn
ing building. This was insured in
the New York Underwriters Agency.
The loss of $1,000 on the Box Factory
has been adjusted and paid. The loss
upon bis dwelling and furniture was
found upon adjustment to be $32
which has been also paid.
Last Wednesday afternoon the large
Flaxsmill at,West Pennington, owned
by Kibbie, Maltby s. Co., was det-
troyed by fire. II is supposed that
the fire was caused by the machinery
being heated too much by friction,
producing flame, which almost in
stantly spread over the whole build
ing. The loss is from eight to ten
thopsand dollars. The building, ma
chinery and stock was covered by five
thousand dollars insurance as follows
The Putnam of Hartford loses $1,000.
The State Fire Of Cleveland, $1,000.
The Norwich, $1,000; The United
States Fire and Marine, of Baltimore,
$1,000. All of which will doubtless
be promptly paid:

Non-Explosive Lumps, left one of
them with us a few days ago for trial,
and after having tested it, we find it
a capital thing. Not only does it af-
ford more brilliant light than any
other lamp we have ever used, but we
regard it as perfectly safe against ex-
plosion. 1t is economical, useful and
ornamental. Very many of these
lamps are in use in this vicinity, and
in every instance they give entire sat
isfaction. Their safety from explo-
sion alone, should bring them into
general use. Call on Mr., Harper and
obtain one of them.
Reference is made to the following
persons who have used and thorough
ly tested these lamps:

The fire. is supposed to have original
ed from the stack of the foundry
near by, as it was confined entirely to
the shingles of the east side of the
roof. Fortunately it was extinguish-

had it got under headway, it would
bave been difficult to manage it, and
the loss would have been immense,
