On the evening of the 24th of last month. wooden wedding" party assembled at the residence of Edson l.. Bradley. The gathering was not a particularly large one; but where such is the case, those who are present have all the more sselbow room," and better chance at the goodies which usually abound at such times, On this occasion there was plenty of good cake, plenty of good lemonade, and, what was by some considered of as much or more consequence, good supply of music and dancing. The music was furnished by MT. Edwin Porter, of Middlebury, who was present with his violin. MT. F., al though more than seventy years old. ap- pears to have lost none of his more youth full musical ardor, which seems to inspire him from the top of his head to the ends of toes. Apparently he would willingly yea, ioyfully finger the strings, and draw the bow ''till morning light appears ? His violin he purchased some thirty years since, of John Hopson, dancing master from Vermont. Your correspondent was present on this occasion, and for the third time in his life was induced to take the floor, and endeavor to kick about some. But finding himself unable to learn the various ''crooks and turns, he soon de- sisted, being then, if 'neve before, fully. convinced that whatever else he was de- signing for, he was never 'cut out" for dancing. ..,-.

 On Sunday, the Fist inst, very rare occurrence transpired in St. Peters church. Indeed, it is doubted whether similar circumstance has ever before occurred since the edifice was erected nearly eighty years ago. May such an one never occur again. The day was pleasant; congre- gation assembled; but the rector was un- we'll and absent :; the wardens, who usual ly oficiate in his absence, were "off the hooks," and not there. One member was willing to read sermon, but no one was found who was willing to undertake to conduct the other services. understand that hut for difidence, one individual present would have proposed that all should, before leaving, kneel and say the Lords prayer together, It would have been short, but an unique and ever to be remembered service but even so much was not accomplished, and the people dispersed to their several homes, or to some other place of public worship. 4

 Any one reading the introduction to No. 107, might consider me to be 6 perfection ist; might suppose that I was ready, if not anxious, to lie down and yield up my t aAA-4 4hat-4hn- x,rni sn of both earth and heaven awaited me. But no such doctrine was taught in my communication, the errors of which (mere- ly the omission of two words) wish to have corrected. My manuscript read, or was designed to read, as follows:
 Fearing that l have not yet accom- plished enough good deeds to overshadow the evil ones,-or, in other words, not be- ing fully prepared for the obituary pro- posed for delinquent correspondents,-I have concluded to scratch around and endeavor to dig out few more items for the printers" &c., &c. .-. ....s3.
 On Sunday, July 28th, the Rev. Fred erick B. Woodward, of Watertown, off, ciated in St. Peters, the rector of that church, the Rev. Mir. Thomas, not having yet returned. For practical and close preaching the Doctor stands ahead of many of his ministerial brethren.
 On July 31st, Col. A. H. Fenn, George Pierpont, and H. J. Thayer, of the center, with number of others from Terryville. started on an excursion trip to Montreal. AS number of these individuals are es- pecial admirers of horse flesh, we may ex- pect to see, on their return, something fine in that line brought into town.
