 Of the character of the proposed enter. tainmsnt itawould haraly be proper os necessary for us to speak. Several of the ladies and gentlemen of this place have been inthel habit, for some winters past, of meeting for the practice of music, prin- cipally instrumental laast winter itMwae thought that considerable help might be given an important local enterprise by utilizing this and other sslocaI talenBp A Reading and Concert was the result; and a very successfnleresu1t, pecuniarily at least, The programme for Friday night not only shows greater variety of selec- tions, but somewhat more difficult music than that of last spring. If it is not more successful it will not be because much more time and care have hot been given to it's preparation. s..s 3 .ts s,9 - @<..s

 The Shepaug freight train made an
 
 fowl" trip one moist night last week, and an eventful one it was from all accounts. Among other frightfral i.aoiaenao was bnaJ of the brakeman who, according to the State papers, s'aearly broke an arm rather mitigated type of railroad disas- ter it strikes us. But the redeeming fea- ture of the trip was the bountiful lunch (cider ad libttuns included) furnished the benighted wayfarers by R. w. Ford Esq. of Davis Hollow. The train finally reach ed this station at about 12a p. m., with as tired, muddy, wet and bedraggled g lot of dead heads and employees as have yet come up the Shepaug ssE.sss
 At the meeting of Civil Authority, se- lectmen, Grand Jurors and Constables on New Years Day, eighteen town dignitaries were present, the good old form of ap- pointing taverners was gone through with, and the following list of jurors was select ed: aass
 Charles Adams, Frances M. Hale, l.. O. Meafoy, w. H. Braman, 8. G. Beach, F. l.. Jenning, Vim Bissen, c. M. Goslee, B. P. Dickenson; Geo. Guernsey, G. B. Carter, D. T. Wooster, J. H. Catlin, E. B. Hand, B. D. Weeks, A. B. Hallock, F. M. Coe, A. J. Pierpont, A. E. Yale, Charles Carter, Ben. Bissell s-,s-z.s...t ;.
 It will be. noticed that the appointments are not open to the charge of partisan ship.s fair proportion of Republican names appearing in the list. We are pleased to see, too, that there was no dis position to shirk jury duty on the part of the town authorities present. Indeed, it happens that 9 names out of the unlucky 21 (4 out of the selectmen included) are of that very class.
 - On New Years Day the running of regular trains and charging of fares com menced on the Shepaug railroad. A tfain of freight cars, with passenger car attach ed, starts from this Station at 8. a. m., ey- cry day, reaching Hawleyyille at about Il, in time to connect with the up Housaton- ic train from Bridgeport. It remains at Hawleyville till the down train of the Housatouie reaches that place, and returns, reaching Litchfield at about pm. Per sons taking this train arrive at Bridgeport at about 1.3O D. m., and at New York at about p. m. '''1' .@ s s. On Friday of last week the case of Geo. + BunneH vs. Wns. H. Gilbert was tried before Justice G. M. Woodruff, and | judgment rendered for the plaintiff to re- cover $2O and costs. The plaintiff was 8 | minor and defendant claimed that he had done his work negligently, and left him before the expiration of their contract without sufficient cause Plaintiff claim ed that the defendant called him a fool, a jackass, wouldn't pay him, and offered to kick him out of doors if he was indignant at the aforesaid treatment. Andrews for | pl'ff; Seymour for delft. - \ -. The donation party at Rev. MT. FL iott's, on New Years evening, was very pleasant gathering, as we'll as a profitable one to the worthy pastor and his family. Besides large proportion of his own con- gregation, We were pleased to see many from the other village churches present, contributing to the pleasure of the even ing. These social gatherings are very agreeable and useful in bringing together the families of community, and the more we have of them, the better for so- ciety and good neighborhood. IF
 After rather protracted negotiations the armory question seems to have finally resulted as follows: The Congregational Conference Room has been purchased by Geo. M. Woodruff and is to be moved to Scott Avenue, as soon as practicable in the Spring. The. building is rented to Com pany H. for $150 per annum, and they go into occupancy about the 18th inst, by which time it is expected that their arms
