l in Winsted for the Naugatuck road, we perhaps ought to have been more particular | in designating the exact individual alluded to, as to him alone belongs the benefit of our complimentary notice. We have learn ed that this fellow is not a regular paste board dealer at the ticket windows there, but is a kind of off and on chap, and lately is morc off than on. Let none think by our first item that Mir. Bushnell, who is l the company's regular and authorized agent there, is worthy of any part of the hon. ors CD of that 'puff, as that gentleman is endowed with altogether too much sense to merit anything of the kind, and at the | time mentioned in that first item, he was not in the office ut all.
 ,Fugitioe From Justjce.-Last Saturday, one Jacob Puver, of Mt. Riga station, N Y., called at Ncgus' restaurant and, after eating some oysters, left very suddenly without paying for them. He was soon after arrested and tried before Justice Pratt, and fined $1 and $968 costs Not being | able to come down to this extent, he was placed in charge of Constable Adams to be carried to Litchfield and while | Adams was at supper he placed him under the watchful eye of Albert Silvernail, when he managed to escape. making ''the fastest time on record," toward and into the swamp east of the village; mud, brush, or water forming no impeachment to his pro- l T, to tb1, rrit bt, f,,O; tive from justice has not been caught. Adams thinks if he can get his grapples on him again, when he goes to his supper, Pulver will go too.
 7Aunk Y0u-Wc have been favored with copy of paper read before the Connecticut Medical Society last May, by our fellow townsman, Dr. Knight, on | 'Haluciuations of Childhood" The Doc tor discusses this most interesting subject in thoroughly able and scientific manner, evidently regarding the task imposed upon him by the society 8 labor of love. We have also seen the Doctors annual report, as superintendent ot the Connecticut school for Imbeciles, to the directors of that nsti- tuition; and we think it cannot but be re- garded by them as satisfactory in it's every part, presenting in it's various statistics, opinions and suggestions, evidence of his skill and ability in the management of such all institution, requiring as it does pecu liar tact and talent rarely to be met with. His remarkable success speaks volumes in his favor as teacher of these the most un- fortunate of all the earth.
 Poor CAiJdrcns P5c-Nac.-Last week Tuesday, nineteen car loads of the poor children of Bridgeport were brought up to Beers Mills, station on that road, and pic-nicked all day. It WAS estimated there were 2OOO of the little waifs of that city, who that day enjoyed what they never en. joyed before. A car loaded full of provis- ions was attached to the train, and none were allowed to go hungry. The Wheeler & Wilson band were along, and everything was done to give them q firstclass enter tainment. David M. Reed, of the firm of Hall & Reed, of that city, and Harold, the great Bridgeport tea dealer, were the origin ators of this treat for these poor children, and paid all the bills. This idea of giving excursions to the poor children of our cities seems to be getting quite fashion able" and we think the practice most ex- cellent and everyway praiseworthy. To give to those who need nothing, and from whom we may expect favors in return, is easy enough, but to contribute for the com fort and enjoyment of the worlds poor is entirely another question with selfish hu- man nature. Who can estimate the amount of enjoyment that money purchased for that swarm of forlornies; those who never before knew of such treat, or of anything approaching it.
 4 Contention of Njlk Fa,naers.-In &C., cordance with the preliminary call for a grand mass convention of dairymen, issued by the undersigned some weeks since, all farmers now sending milk to New York, and all desiring to do so, or otherwise in- terested in the milk supply of New York and adjacent cities, are invited to meet at the hall of the Young Mems Christian As, SOCIdtlOu, CO1uc1 OL AOO SC1CCI duu HUI dNC- nue, New York, on Tuesday, the 24th day of September, at l o'clock D. m., for the purpose of considering the plans which will be submitted for the reform of the abuses of the milk business, and for effecting a permanent organization of milk producers. Let every milk farm be reprepresent. ed at this Convention: by the presence and moral support of it's proprietors, and
 we shall for the first time realize our power, and ensure the complete success of the movement.
 No farmer interested can well afford to let this opportunity pass unheeded; moi } only determine to come yourself, but a, once assume the responsibility of talking with your neighbors interested and urging upon them the necessity of making one more effort before we are forced to retire
 from the business.

 Picton Rowe and Messrs. Finlayson and Stillman, was our first entertainment of the
 season. The entire programme was re ceived with the highest satisfaction, as was attested by the frequent encores. Mrs, Rowes voice has developed great purity and sweetness, together with high degree oi fiexibility, under the careful management of her teacher, Mir. Finlayson. The ballads "Waiting" and ''The Silver Cloud" were sung with exquisite taste and feeling, but her great success of the evening, in an ar tistic point of view was the elaborate and iudicious rendering of the long and difficult
