The HawIeyvilIe Dramatic.
WASHINGTON. CONN. Feb. Tt

WASHINGTON, CONN, Feb. 17th. MIR. EDITOR The original from w. stated in your last issue that an account of the Dramatic Clubs entertainment, at Newtown, would be given: we have look ed the paper over and over again, with out being able to find it; and, as it is of the utmost importance that one in his po- sition should be noted for truth and ye- racity, We will tell you how well we were received, and how we enjoyed ourselves. On Friday morning, February 9th, the Shepaug train did come, and party of twelve was waiting on the platform at Washington, for transportation to Haw- leyville. The morning was pleasant and the company in excellent humor. The ride was very pleasant indeed but so short we wished it twice as long. We reached Hawleyville all too soon and were met there by delegation appointed for the purpose. We were ushered across the tracks to the ':Brick House." where we waited short time till the teams came and took us across the country in sleighs and very pleasant ride it was. We were surprised and pleased to find so many beautiful points, from which, in. some seasons of the year, the valley and distant mountains must be very beautiful indeed. But our sleigh ride like our car ride was too short. We reached the Hall and unpacked the necessaries for the evening; hads a delicious lunch, and re- hearsed short time. About D. m. lady boarding at the Central House invit- ed us to the Hotel where we were pleas antly entertained till 5, then we separated for supper, some staying at the Hotel and others entertained at private houses-and such an entertainment !-best expressed by Beverly, when he came to us with tears in his eyes, saying 'Such supper, and so much left; why can't eat it all P At z o'clock we went to the Hall. AL though 1t was raining hard, the room was rapidly filling and in spite of the elements. we had full house to play to. The plays were Helping Hands, and 'sSheep in Wolf's Clothing" We tried to do sour level best, and trust we did. On Satur- day morning the sun rose bright and beautiful, the air was fresh and cool, and after a hearty breakfast, we were shown the new church, beautiful building in- side, and very handsomely trimmed with evergreens in tasty manner. After trying the organ and looking at the fine trimming to our satisfaction, we went to the Hall and gathering np our things prepared to go to.Hawleyyille. How are we going ?" was the question, soon answered, for out side the door there were waiting nice teams with lady and gentleman drivers to take us away. The morning was fine, the horses felt well, the drivers better, and merry ride we had. Again we found our selves at the Brick House" waiting for the train;and we made it pleasant waiting, some chatting, others dancing, and Bever- ly out in the corner slowing away cake and cider and trying to make up for last evenings supper. In due time the train came and we bid our friends a re- luctant farewell hoping to see them ] again before many weeks shall have pass cd ,and torenew the acquaintance so agree ably and pleasantly begun.
