 have read the Falls Village items in THE NEWS of late, with interest, and am glad to be able to say, our part of the village shares fully in this welcome return of stir ring business. The railroad shops now seem to be in full operation. Last Friday evening they were lighted by hundred jets of gas, which brought wildly to the memory of the old inhabitants the times now past and gone when the Ames Works were in full operation. Then, instead of gas, those shops were lighted by the blaze of the numerous furnace fires. Although there are not as many men employed in the railroad shops as there were in the Ames Works, we are grateful that business now presents such cheering prospect. It seems as though all manner of business has caught the spirit of enterprise and is moving on. Even our dressmakers and milliners are indeed very busy. Miss Sada Hawthorn, and Mrs. Henry Wolfe, must surely be doing good business, if the large number of boxes and bundles constantly going and coming from their rooms are g criterion to go by. Our merchants and even carpenters are so full of business they can hardly sleep nights. Our new school house is nearly completed and will soon be ready for occupancy, a'fact that we are glad to realize, as there has been no school in our village since last September, at which time the house was removed by the railroad company from it's old position.

AeMG.
 On Wednesday evening, May 2sth, Prof. Russell, of Trinity College, gave the people of Kent an opportunity to enjoy the ren- dcring of some of his best selections. As an intellectual treat is a rare thing in our quiet town, we hoped the name of this we'll known and gifted elocutionist would in Kent, as in other places, draw a full house, but to our chagrin, the audience only num- bered about forty. The learned Professor is gentleman of wide benevolence, giving these readings for the furtherance of some goodrcause and never for the sake of any pecuniary gam to himself. The reading in question was given in aid of the Episcopal Church in this place, and some illnatured gossips CD have hinted that this might be reason why some were absent, that the 'Jews have no dealings with the Samari- tans," etc., but we scout such an idea If plain people with little taste for Shakespeare, we at least try to cultivate some oldfash- toned Christian graces; charity and broth crly love among the rest. The Professor being, as we have said, benevolent gen. tleman, would doubtless view the apparent neglect in more kindly light, and attrib- ute it to the fact that his name and fame had not yet reached our rustic town, and that, not being accustomed to anything of the kind, our good people did not under stand the nature of the entertainment. The programme was varied to suit as far as pos sible the tastes of the few present. The first selection was the Tempest" from David Copperfeld, one of Dickens most powerful descriptive pieces. Then came the scene in the Merchant of Venice" where Shylock makes the memorable bar gain with Antonio and Bassanio. This was followed by s'Sheridan's Ride," reel tation in which we seemed hurried on with the breathless horse and rider. Knowing that "a little nonsense now and then is rel ished by the wisest men," these graver pieces were relieved by selection from Lover; "Father Phi! taking subscriptions for repairing the Church," a scene where the Irish wit and humor is suddenly hushed bv one of those rapid transitions from laughter to tears, SO common with these warm impulsive people. In conclusion, to please the younger portion of the audience, there were some simpler recitations which were highly appreciated, particularly the sad adventures of ''Darius Green and his flying machine" We feel sure all present were delighted. and only regret that any mistake on the part of our neighbors should have deprived them of the same pleasure; and we trust that Prof. Russell, to whose courtesy we are SO much indebt- ed, will only see in the smallness of his audience reason why he should return the sooner; as, were such entertainments more common among us, they could not fail, in the course of time, to awaken some taste for literary enjoyment.

TIE SENSATION OF FDROwNNG.-Dr. Hoff- man, of Dixon, Ill.,, who was one of the victims of the recent bridge disaster in that town, and was very nearly drowned, thus describes his sensation while in the water: Fl could feel the water running down my throat and in my ears, and all at once experienced the most delightful sen sation. I seemed to be at peace with every thing, and perfectly happy. My whole life passed before me like flash of light ming, the events appearing in sequence. the most prominent appearing to be indelbly impressed upon my mind. Circumstances I had forgotten appeared vivldly, and did not want to be disturbed. should have preferred to remain where I was. While in the midst of beatiic reverie, thinking what my wife would do if she were saved and drowned, felt hand on my shout der. I was pulled out and placed on { rock. ! was almost insensible, but gradu ally came to myself. Oh, how sick ant wretched felt. was greatly astonishe( at the number of events that passed througl my mind while under the water. Nothing that occurred during childhood was evident but everything since I was about nineteen years old appeared before me as if photo graphed. The sensation experiences while the water was going down my throa was not unpleasant. It seemed as If wa going on journey, and was surrounds by all kinds of beautiful things"
 It thus appears that death by drowning by no means painful-on the contrary rather delightful experience.

THE PosTAL CARDs.-The great objection to the postal card has been the facility with which they can be used for purposes of in suit, and for the sending of improper mes sages. The Postmaster General has an swered this objection in an official com munication, in which he says: Efforts have been made to prejudice the public mind against an open card, by alleging that it may be used for conveying improper and obscene messages. This objection is mythical. The law already excludes from the mails all obscene matter when its char acter can be known without breaking a seal Obscene communications may be written or printed on the outside of sealed card or envelope with the same facility that they may be on an open postal card; but in either case it would be the duty of post master to refuse to deliver such communi- cations and send them to the Dead Letter Office to be destroyed"

Canaan.
 The quiet and sanctity of our Sabbath was very much disturbed last week by disgraceful>figh among some drunken men, employees on the railroad and at the fur mace, directly in front of the Town Hall at Canaan. And so far as we can learn, no step has been taken to arrest the parties or close the unlicensed dram shops, for surely those having would not wish the penalty of the law by selling on the Sabbath. And just here l would ask who is responsible for the prosecution of those who violate the law and carry on the unlawful traffic, right under the very shadow of those who have taken out license. Is there any jus tice in thus requiring bond and license fee of few, and allowing others to sell without license? Have we in the town of North Canaan enough law abiding citi- zens to sustain the officers of the law in preserving the public order? Surely be- tween men and men there is no show of justice in the lax way our law is adminis- Hered......The Sunday school concert last Sabbath eve passed off very well.
