Connecticut western news., 1872-04-12

0Ay, WlnSteQ enterprise was 0Saln tne | means of wheeling heavily loaded trains on the Conn. Western road into their West village. filled with the good people of the towns on the line of the road east and west of them. We were credibly informed that about 300 passengers went into Winsted as
 concert excursionists on this road alone. The Naugatuck road also made arrange ments to accommodate the people on their line as far as Waterbury, at excursion rates, and two long passenger cars came wheezing, pufang and grooming along under its enor-
 nous load of-well there were to figure closely, precisely 0OOOo6. The 2d Congre- gational church in which tho concert was held. is very plain and neat, and on this oc-
 casion the numerous ushers so politely and
 quietly seated the immense audience, that
 not the least indication of confusion
 was perceptible. The evening of song was
 commenced with the duo Martha" by
 Segnor Rsndoli and Mir. W. A. Morgon,
 which we thought was well enough as also,
 "Silver Bells" hy Prof. Wehli, who pinn-
 ed the attention of his audience to his won-
 derful performances on the piano, but when
 Miss. Kellogg came out and climbed little
 higher than the tip top note on the scale of
 tall notes, carrying her hearers with her,
 as it were, to the top part of the third heav
 en of song, and then gradually bringing
 them down with her, trilling her way
 through the intricate network of heml-
 demi-semiquavers, we concluded Prof. Wehli and the rest of the troupe were
 ''nowhar." Her voice was SO charming;
 smooth, powerful and clear; in fact We
 can conceive of nothing SD clear and musi-
 cal unless perhaps it was the Chicago court
 house bell before the COW kicked over the
 lantern. It was grand. sublime, majestic
 the ideal of perfection, and If there is
 anything better than wha: we have
 named, 1t is that too, and the fun of it
 all is, she fs C LitcAfeld county gir1.
 We are happy most indulgent readers of
 the boundless prairies of the west; the
 broad sovannas of the south; the frosty
 regions around that little stick up north,
 called the pole, to be able to inform you,
 that we raise such as Miss Kellogg here in
 the north west corner of this state of
 wooden nutmegs and yellow pine bar soap.
 Miss Kellogg sails for Europe tomorrow
 Saturday. This must suffice for the con- cert except perhaps it might be we'll to say that nearly all of their music was rendered in the Italian language, and we can assure
 our readers that it was, oh :; so interesting, , and we regret our inability to give any thing more than a sample line of it; here it is. drundx?Ia!lAdG ;scO9rssnom6aHq;dnu
 We admire it so much that we contemplate publishing an entire page of 1t in next week NEWS, and will soon have supply sufficient to supply all demands for it. Small favors in that line thankfully re. ceived, and tue smaller the favors the more
 thankfully we shall receive them. Miss , Kellogg is freely acknowledged by our greatest musical artists, to be the best sing CT in the world, and were it not for the , fact of her coming among her own people here in Litchfield county, we never should , have heard her here, and Winsted is to be . congratulated upon having this exceedingly
 rare talent there. The concert was, in il every feature, brilliant success. Desir ing to know more of this place which sue
 ceeds in securing such talent as that oi !. Cough and Clara Louisa Kellogg. we strayed aroun5, occasionally lodging into this store
 and into that to see 8 little how they . managed things. Strolling up past the
 Beardsley House and over the sidewalk e which was toppling over into the mass oi !, debris, which we were informed was being t cleared away, preparatory to the erection - of large bleck, which will excuse its B unsightly appearance now, (and it would r indeed be strange if a village with SO much :, enterprise, would allow such a place tc remain very long,) we took hasty glance at the shoe store of MT. Noble, (dIdn't gel . his first name which appeared filled ab solutely full of understanding" adapted tc the wants of the old, middle aged and the young, beside everything else that could
 ever be expected to be found at such place
 We should have looked farther that wa, - had we the time. The attractive show |, windows at M. 6 c. J. Camps mammoth a emporium. coaxed us in side of that estab : lishment, and almost unconsciously as il were, we were led through number of large " rooms on the ground floor, then up stair. ' and through another series, and again UT stairs we continued, wading through tho - huge piles of goods of every imaginable : description. Stacks of sheetings, piles o boxes of dry-goods in their original cases Carpetings, croekery, groceries; into tn, . depths of everything we pursued our course ' every department of their trade having . apartments for it's especial accommodation With such an assortment, they cannot helE E selling goods and they do sell immens' Il quantities. A has:y glance at the Welcl ' drug store, as we'll as the others, the jew elry establishments; gents furnish inl goods hardware stores .&c. &c., all O.
 which are large and filled to repletion witl
 goods, is sufficient to unravel the mystery t of their success in getting the best talen D in the world to talk and to sing to them t Enterprise and business thrift will do it e It struck us very forcibly as we were look D ing about there that perhaps It wouldn't b. t a bad idea for our people from this regiol h who travel past there to Hartford SO mucl .- to buy goods, if they stop over, perhaps i v no longer than from one train to another e and just look about little and see how e they do things there. We were agreeably ,- disappointed.
