 in West Winsted, on Tuesday evening, Sept. 3d. Hon. iR. D. Livingstone, ol Sharon, will also give two Shakspearian readings. We have been unable to procure programme for the occasion, but all par. ties announced having received such favor. able criticisms from the press, that we ex- pect nothing less than first.class enter tainment.
 Correction our school item of last week, aD error or two crept, which is fal from doing justice to those who merit es. pecial mention. In regard to attendance, punctuality, etc., where we said that Char lie Labree was once tardy but not absent, we should have said that he was tardy but once, yet absent several days, and instead of it's reading further on that Sammie La bree was absent one-half day and tardy once, it ought to read Sammie NiOer, as he was the chap who merits the praise, and in this connection it would be well enough to add, that in both cases he was excused at the time. Let the boys be correctly repre- senteG, even if second item is necessary.
 Hts NeW House-D. J. Warner, Esq. who has been building an extensive ad- dition to his house, must feel quite satisfied with his summers work. What was the main part of his house previous to it's being rebuilt, is enlarged to such an extent us to swallow every'vestage of it's original form, making now large, we'll planned and commodious dwelling. Mir. Warner has exhibited the good sense as well as taste in the construction of his house, to sacrifice nothing conducive to comfort, to frivolous display, his residence being in appearance very neat, convenient and substantial. The rooms are large, high between joints, with an abundance of light. The ceilings are made of hard finish, and the inside wood work-well, in this he is determined to have something in accordance with his own notion, whether it suited outsiders, seemed to be of little concern to him. The wood work is of pine, polished and oiled and pol ished and oiled again and again, till the wood, which in its natural tint has never succeeded in attracting much attention, and is usually covered up with daubs of paint to hide it. seems to appreciate the attention being given it in this case, and, us It were is rewarding the efforts of the workmer with finish for inside work that is no easily beat. There it is; pure, undefilee yellow pine in all its native beauty, and I is 6eautit'ul. If Mir. Warner knows any thing about law, he knows thing or two also about tinkering up the inside of { new house. Messrs. Niver & Daniels, o1 this village did the work.
 Our Dull wn.-Professor Johnson who has been spending s short time il Salisbury the present season, writes to thu Lynn (Mass.) Transcript concerning thi section of the country, and among othe things says that
 Salisbury, from which am now writ ing, is the northwestern township in th' State. Hills and mountains enclose it com pletely. It has one factory of course-' knife factory-to entitle it to be called { Connecticut town. But it is very quie place. It reminds me of Beechers Nor wood. and some of it's staid old inhabitant resemble the characters in that charming story. It has seven Sundays per week. l is glorious place for rest and contempla ton. A few years ago before the factory was enlarged and the church furnished with bell, and the whistle of the locomo tive existed only in the dreams of the SO journer, the stiffness was quite intOlerablt except to natives. It Is better new.
 Who is this Professor Johnson, anyway It is plainly evident he did not know mucl what he was trying to say. If he had crawled up over the hill through the grove he probably wouldn't have seen the wooler factory of the Washinee Co.,, although it i much larger establishment than the knif foctory mentioned, and if he had gone ove east little, the insignificant establishment of the Barnum Richardson Co.,, manufac turing car wheels. would not have attracted his attention, neither would the Housatoni' locomotive shops have been seen by him Landon, of Chapinville, couldn't hav shown him anything; Oh no, of cours not.-"Seven Sundays in 8 week." eh D. the noisiest people accomplish the most Where is there town that can ''git-up- p-and git" together more dimes than the town O Salisbury If the Professor will com again, and study his lesson better, his reef tations to the Transcript will be hear, with better grace.
 Pine GroUe Camp Mesting.-The mee, ings at these camp grounds commenced las Monday, yet but little was actually done save the thousand and one little things necessary for comfort during the weel of life in the woods. The attendance ol that day and in fact on Tuesday, was in deed slim, but Wednesdays meetings foun' the seats for the audience about half filled and the crowds will probably rapidly in crease till Sunday, which undoubtedly vii be the day of all the days. Good sermon are being preached and much interest manifested, and good results are looked for The organization is becoming permanentl established on substantial foundation Building lots are being sold and cottage erected on them, and by another season is thought quite city of cottages will b in readiness for occupation by the worship CTS. There is now great demand flo these little homes, but the erection of ther was not commenced in time to get man completed. Three only, with the chapel is all that are being occupied, and thes are certainly very pretty, being not onl substantially, but tastily built. Thes young houses, with the usual array of tents present quite a village like appearance and the prospect at this writing, (Wednes day,) is that a larger attendance will b present this week than ever before. Tn new chapel is 1sx24 feet in size, and is
 very pretty building. The Rev. MT. Loon is, MT. John R. Ward and MT. Jos. Car 1 olJ <>eE EoI A1o 1H Al.
