Last week there were some very fine games of base ball between the Duttons of this place and surrounding clubs. The first was played, Wednesday, at Washing ton, between the Duttons and the Orientals of that place, strengthened by one or two of the old Weantinaug nine. For the first five innings the Orientals found it almost impossible to hit Strong's pitching, while the Duttons ran up a score of 29. The lat ter part of the game showed great im- provement in the score of the former club, though still falling behind the Duttons The score was as fnllnWs:-

WOODBURY.

The members of the 2nd Conn. Artillery residing in town met one evening last week, to make preparation for the approach ing reunion of the Regt, in this place. They were joined by members of their reg. mental associations to make arrangements for the dedication of the Soldiers Monu. ment. These events take place Sept, 26, 1871. Preparations are being made to in. sure what they always have in Woodbury- "a good time" on the occasion. The foun. dation of the Monument has been laid, and the granite blocking carried upon the ground preparatory to setting the base. So all here is ready for the Plymouth Gran ite Co.,, to erect it.

 St. Pauls Church proposes to observe, on Wednesday, the 9th Sept. the hun- dreth anniversary of the settlement of it's first minister, the Rev. John Rutgers Mar. shall, by holding public services during the day and evening; and the order will be nearly as follows: Morning prayer at half past ten; sermon by the bishop of this Dio- cese; offertory; Communion, all followed by bountiful collation.. At three o'clock P. M., the Rector, Rev. John Purves, will give an historical address. Evening prayer at half-past seven, followed by sermon from Rev. B. E. Beardsley, D. D. It is believed the occasion will be one of deep interest. not only to the people nf Wood bury, but to those of the surrounding towns. The Pastor says, in note of in- vitation, ''The former members of the par- ish who are still surviving, Chose who were baptized or confirmed in the church), the communicants who have removed to other parishes, the descendants of deceas. ed members, and all friends of the parish, are affectionately invited to be present and participate in this Commemorating Ser vice. The parish is one of the oldest in the Diocese, having had missionary services as early as 1732. It was organized about the year 1740."
 "Being located in country village, apart from railroads, and the population being stationary, the parish does not gain in numbers nor increase in wealth. Within the last seven years it has lost, by death and removal, many communicants, who were it's zealous supporters. All it's friends are cordially invited to be present at this Commemoration Service and make an ofer- ing, or if not able to attend, to send as they are disposed in their hearts. of what the Lord hath given them"
 Rev. G. W. Moves, pastor of the First Church. being absent during his annual vacation, the pulpit for the two last Sab. baths was supplied by Rev. Horace Winslow now of Willimantic, but formerly pastor oi this church. T.

The berries seem to be plenty up in that region. for all return with full receptacles. and they evidently take pains in their culture as they are of good size and lucious. We hear Warren has had very damaging hail-storm, utterly de- stoying tobacco, drumming off huckleber- ries, and doing other damage. We had no hail here but plenty of wind and rain.
