 belonging to GeorgeS. Clark on the farm
 occupied by Mrs. Jane Clark. were burn ed on Monday night, the 1st inst. They were filled with grain and hay. There were probably thirty tons of hay and three hundred bushels of oats destroyed besidega two-horse wagon, buggy, set of double harness, and single harness, straw cutter and other farming tools be- longing to l.. J. Baldwin, who works the farm. The fire was discoyerd by 8 young boarder at Mrs. o. s, soon after eleven o'clock, who gave the alarm and aroused both. families, but too late to save the least thing. The four buildings were sep arated by board partitions, but were all on fire at the discovery. By the aid of wet blankets and northwest breeze, the old Newton Clark house was saved, though only some fifty feet distant from the west shed. As the family at Mrs. c. s did not retire till after ten o'clock, it must have doubtless been the work of an incendiary who intended to make a clean sweep of all the buildings on the south side of the road. The fire roasted third of an acre of tobacco adjoining the buildings. No insurance on anything. It is heavy loss, especially to MT. B. who is a. poor man. A subscription paper has been already circulated That it was the work of an incendiary is evident, for neither. MT. B. , nor hismen had been into the premises the afternoon or evening before the fire.
 Mir. Gum and his school have return ed from Point Beautiful after two weeks stay of the happiest time they ever en- joyed. So say they all. 4. ...-u -.
 IS. H. Welton has sold his pair of grey horses to daughter of Commodore Vanderbilt who has been stopping at the Loomarwick house, and has, besides this purchase, as we are informed, bought a building lot near Waramaug lake. H. e.

This Sunday evening, Sept. 7th, is cold enough for fre4o the hearth to seem cosy and feel comfortable. There was slight frost, last night, that makes the farmers who have nice tobacco feel 8 little anxious, though but little damage has yet been done, and some few pieces are harvested. si3sgze 6 D sl3tt. ..l.r--s 2
 Bishop Williams is to have confrma- ion services at St. Johns church, Friday forenoon, the 26th of Sept. Since East CT MT. Maj yin has attended five funerals in this palish, although it has not been sickly season. Mir. F. Newton died very suddenly of heart disease, then Mrs. Andrew Buckingham lost three children with dipthe1ia. That seemed very sad, but other children surround MT. and Mrs. B., which was not the case in the last in- stance I have to record. When Amy Morehouse died, one week ago, the home she left was desolate, for she was their all Her bright face, cheerful voice, and gleesome laugh are sorely missed, and the overfowing church at the time of the funeral attested to the universal sympa- thy felt for the bereaved parents. AL though she was passing through course of fever, no danger was apprehended, till a few hours before she died, when her heart probably before diseased-refused to do its office, and she expired without struggle. 7-a-@e sttI -ae J.
