 1Aat Dog.-Why don't the owner of the black and tan dorg, advertised last week, call and get him. He is valuable animal.

 | The Wezls Lottery.-The Wells Lottery drawing at Bridgeport began on Tuesday, and will be continued daily till completed. There are Al ,000 numbers. The last taken out of the wheel takes the house and lot. l Breezy.-The wind blew 90 hard the day Cough lectured in West Winsted, that it ripped the tin roof from the freight depot in that village, clean off. We should have told of this last week if the wind hadn't blown it out of our memory.
 Pokeepsie and Eastern.-We are informed that the Poughkeepsie and Eastern railroad l is doing very poorly: the business of the road, scarcely paying the running expen- ses.
 New Cars,-The Conn. Western road has added two very fine passenger coaches to their freight trains for the accommodation of passengers who may want to ride with those trains.
 1 Repaired the passenger depot in this village was lowered to its present dosition few weeks since, the walls were badly broken up. This week they have been replestered and given beautiful hard finish.

 That New School Houar.-That school house committee will have all ready to re- ceive proposals for building soon, or at least presume they will. They are not com mittee that will allow Il emselves to become a grave to any such enterprise as is now placed in their charge.
 Out Again.-The locomotive, " Bloom field," which has been in the repair shop $ few days, is again back on the milk train on the Conn. Western road. It is newly painted outside and is looking and work
 ing finely Engineer Hatch is justly proud of his charge, and with very good reason
 thinks he has as good machine as there
 is on the road.
 4 Siloer Wedding.-We are much an
 noyed to think that such Q splendid silve
 wedding as was that given to Mir. Johl G. Camp and wife of Lakevill>', few days
 since, was not reported to us ill is now tot - late to publish it as an item of news. We un derstand it was one of the pleasantest gath
 erings Lakeville has seen s'for many day,
 and it is little too bad detailed accoun of it could not have been published.
 7arfciMe. On return of Mr. and Mrs
 Hugh Mitchelson from their wedding tour brilliant reception was rendered by theil
 many friends on last Tuesday evening
 About 15O were present; the elite of oul . town. It was grand affair in every re- spect, and all enjoyed themselves highly
 At rather of an early hour tue guests de , parted from their spacious residence, wish t ing the happy couple long and merry
 life. E
 Can't Have Him.-The Winsted Herald , says thai Prof. Stillman of Lakeville is favorite with Winsted people, and seems
 to think little united effort would bring
 him down there as regular inhabitant. We do not blame Bro. Vaill for his lauda- ble desire to coax MT. s. down there, bu ''fax are fax, and those facts are these
 The people hereabouts regard Prof. Still = man as quite necessary fixture, and if h. succeeds in getting him to Winsted, ht : must needs pull very hard. Y-a-s, Bro
 Vaill; as hard as thunder and blitzen," anC , then you'll not get him.
 f CtristmGs Trees-The Congregations r Sabbath School in this village are arrang-
 ing for beautiful Christmas tree for the children on Christmas eve. The Episcopal
 people are beautifully trimming thei
 church, and will have a splendid tree oi
 presents for the children of their Sabbath
 school. They are to have their tree cele bration in the afternoon, next Tuesday l The children of both the above schools , have been practicing their Christmas songs
 some weeks past, and it is expected they
 will give their audiences some very fn' , music.
 Sad Accident.-An employe of the Hol
 ley Mfg. Co. of Lakeyille, named Benja- min Perkins, was seriously injured by the bursting of grindstone last Wednesday evening. He was astride the stone grind
