Morris.

On Tuesday evening of last week. the friends of MT. and Mrs. Edwin Clark of East Morris, gave.them surprise party on the fifth anniversary of their wedding This was real surprise, and the hosts got their first intimation of the affair from the arrival their guests we'll provided with refreshments and gifts. They were pre- sented with about everything in the wooden" line, from handsome marble top table, dining table, and rocking chairs, down to potato masher. MT. Clark thanked his unexpected guests for their unexpected and most welcomes presence and gifts, and expressed willingness to be surprised in like manner every five years of his married life. After spending a pleasant evening the company separated at an early hour, Providence and the weather in this instance permitting.
 On Wednesday morning last, Q small house owned by Mr. Frederick Marsh and situated on bye road opposite the resid- ence of Clark 8. Loveland, took fire, burnt down and it's occupants, an Irish couple, named Dudley and Bridget Cavanagh, were burnt with the house. The fire was discovered by MT. Loveland at about five in the morning. At that time the roof had fallen Tn, and he saw the kitchen stove drop into the cellar as the flooring was consumed. He could discover noth. ing of the occupants, but burnt portions of their bodies were found in the ruins as soon as they became cool enough for ex- animation. It is thought, from the posi- tion of the remains, that the man was in bed at the time of the fire. and the wo- man near the stove. They were both very incorporate, and are supposed to have set fire to the house while intoxicated, and to have been too much under the in. fiuence of liquor to escape. No inquest was deemed necessary. The friends of MT. Cavanagh removed his remains to Waterbury for burial. Mrs. Cavanagh was buried in the East Cemetery. He was about sixty and she forty five years of age.

We viii eudeavor to explnin for the bone.
fit of those friends. There was but three
reasons in the main.

people 10 their 1uty.

known as the Cod Corner, were on the day OF
the election (so we are tod tsirly lied out
OF doing thiig which they much desired
should be done.
