. The excursion of the Sunday schools
 of this place, to Lakeville, on Thursday
 of last week, was very great treat to the
 little folks. As the fare was so small
 many grown people went along to enjoy
 the scenery that everywhere meets the eye of the beholder on the line of the Conn.
 Western to Lakeville. The train consisted
 of seven passenger cars and one covered
 freight car, drawn by the engine ''Ca-
 naan, and had about 530 persons on
 hoard. The Gilbert Comet Band accom-
 panied the exeursionists, and by their de-
 hghtful strains, added much to the enioy-
 ment of all They have greatly improved in their style of playing, the past few months. We reached Gov. Holleys grove about noon. where in view of one of New England's most picturesque little lakes, the tables were soon spread and the hun gry children laid to and ate of the dainties spread before them as only children know how to eat. Dr. H. M. Knight came on the ground and did what he could to make the visit of the strangers pleasant during their short soiourn. He is what welcall the true type of the genuine New gentleman. After the lunch was of, all hands took to their several ways of enjoying themselves. Some row. ed on the Lake, some walked about the village, others sat by the shore and gazed l in the clear water of the lake, while 8 l number of the young men and boys went | 'o the ball ground and organized 8 game 'f base ball The only unpleasant thing l hat occurred was the rain, which came title too soon, but as thecar were near y, all toek refuge in them and so saved 1. themselves wetting. The train reached Kinsted on the return trip about 2 o'clock l

 Another gentleman said that no man who is sending milk to New York can af- ford to be out of this association. Y - MT. Hollister said that pamphlets ex- plaining the objects and form of the or ganization would be sent to every member of the Housatonic Milk Association 4ei3 | MT. Bedeil. on enquiry, stated that she thought the proposed association vas not sufficiently guarded against the chance of the stock being taken by capitalists. They had found that restriction necessary. What farmers desire is the highest possi. pie sum per quart, whereas capitalists would make large dividends on the stock the chief thing. ..,aa. ..a .g....s- r. f4 MT. Hubben thought there was no present danger of the kind suggested; ; and that 1t could be guarded against by future provisions if thought best. They intended to have it in, the hands of the hands of the milk producers themselves. As soon as $2OO, 900 are subscribed they will commence business. They expect to. furnish all the cans used and will take cans now in use at an appraisal. Thecer- tificates of stock will be issued when paid up, and holders are liable to no assess ments thereon. The milk producers near Boston have entirely broken up. their milk ring, and the farmers now control the whole matter of the distribution of thelr milk This they accomplished by an or ganization similar to the one proposed. The middle men could do nothing, for as soon as the farmers withdrew their milk their Occupation was gone." at. ~ea-

A young woman has lately been vis- iting here, whose history, though not particularly romantic, is nevertheless somewhat interesting. In 1854 the Rev. Alfred B. Sattefiae, with his wife, went out as Baptist missionary to India. A daughter was born unto 1,em in 1855. In 1856, MT. s. died of cholera, and subse- quently, the same year, his widov died of a lingering diseaee of like nature, Oh the passage home. The helpless child waA tenderiy cared for by the captain, Thomas P. Moves, and on arrival at Boston was passed over to the care of relatives. Her subsequent years have been spent at the West, mostly in Chicago, which she saw reduced to ashes. She has recently visited the captain at. his residence in Dennis, Mass. leaEn that on this occasion he presented her a large and valuable topaz, set in gold, which he procured for the purpose in India. Yet however precious the gem may be, it surpasses not the jew el character of it's recipient Her father and her mother were human jewels of un- tarn;shed lustre, and the daughter ap- pears to be coming up fully to the parent al standard. May many useful and happy years await her! '3

Blessings brighten as they take their flight. The chief of blessings is good health, without which nothing is worth the having; it is always appreciated at its true value after it is lost, but, toO often, not before. Live properly, and correct ailments before they become seated. For diseases of the liver, kidneys, skin, stom- ach, and all arising from impure or feeble blood, Dr. Walkers California Vinegar Bitters are sure and speedy remedy. It has never yet failed in single instance.

 On Friday night last, the New York and Providence Steamer Mstis, on it's way from New York, ran into q asehooner off Watch Hill and was SO much crushed that she sank .bafoEs she could reach lauils.sP sPhere was 2, violent storm raging at the time and It was at first supposed that the steamer was not seriously injured. As soon as # was found that ahs was filliug, they start ed for-land but sunk about five miles from shore. There were an hundred and sixty four persons on boasd, as far as can be ascertained between fsrty and fifty of these were put on the life boats; about fifty drifted ashore with the upper deck, of the boat and some escaped on blanks and other pieces of the wreck. There were life preseryers in abundance but ow-. ing to the surf and the high waves there was great loss of life especially of women and children. some from drowning, others from cold and exhaustion. The cases of suffering and bereavement are. some, of them heart rending. One young couple married rr but two days before, were separ- ated by the loss of the wife. Several wives were unable to bear the exposure and died in the arms of their husbands. A gentleman who had taken up two boys, sons of Brooklyn banker named Wier- um, to stay week at the sea shore with his own children, was returning with them m the e. eMetis. He took every possible care of them but they died from exposure before they could reach land. Of one family l the husband and two small children were lost and only the wife saved. ru5
 The loss is not yet accurately ascertain cd. Twenty-nine bodies have been found and many of those rescued alive died afterwards. .t It seems probable that the total loss will not be less than forty and perhaps near fifty. - .- .J} ..
 The captain of the Metis refused to go on board the boats, and took h,s chances on the wreck, but there is complaint of his want of efficiency. The collision was with the Schooner Nettie Cushing of Nerwalk, and seems to have occurred through the fault of the steamer. se u-- 44s-4

 4s- Camp Meeting has been the great centre of attraction thepast week: Owing to the unsettled weather the average at tendance has not been particularly large, yet the meeting has been g success.
 = Sunday brought with it pleasant weather and large congregation who lis tened to impressive sermons by Rev. MT. King of New York in the morning, and Rev. B. H. Burch of Pine. Plains in the afternoon. The good order that has pre- vailed throughout the week has been a noticeable and all agreeable item and the laborers have seen some of the good eff fectss of their efforts, goodly. number having been brought to repentance. The new cottages are found to be about the thing. Many more arc expected to be erected the coming year. The Camp Meeting Association (a joint stock com panyl have devised plan for the inn provement of the grounds. That the de- mands for building lots may be supplied, 1t IS decided to have them two deep; both rows forming arcs of circle, and the outer row to face on an avenue which shall surround it. Also the fine avenue leading from the center of the first is to extend through the center of the grounds to the preachers desk. The fine slope of the ground, which gives the remotest part of the audience plain view of the speaker, it's easy accesss, and the good supplies of water, are items which go far towards making this permanent and popular re- sort for camp meetings.
 a - Our farmers are rather late with their work, but they are doing their double best that they may be prepared to bid dull care good bye whilst they attend the fair and horse show to be held here on the 10th, 11th and 18th insts. The ground has been renovated and is now in good condition, and 8 general good time is ex- pected. In view of the horse show on the 12th inst, the track has been thoroughly repaired, and the sharp corner above the home stretch remedied, making the course in better shape and condition than ever before. In consideration of this fact and of the increase in premiums above other years for speed, we feel safe in saying that the good name which this horse fair has attained will be preserved and nothing short of foul weather will prevent ''The Union Park Horse Association" giving the best and and most interesting exhibition of fast horses ever displayed on their grounds It is expected that an excursion train will be run from Hartford, and pos- sibly one from Bridgeport on that day, to accommodate those who wish to attend.
