 Iiscoursed briefly of the Cummings
 ssiOn and other matters at St. Mi-
 sl's church. on Sunday last.
 The number of city boarders here is very large. There seems to be more than the usual number. aside from the large accession at the Lake View House.
 Gen. Alfred P. Rockwell and wife, of Boston, arc visiting friends in our village. Gen. Rockwell is one of the Superintend- ents of the new Boston Fire Department. Prof. Russell gives his miscellaneous readings and recitations from popular au- thors at the Old Church at 8 p. m., to- morrow (Thursday) evening.
 Mir. F. R. Starr will preach at the M. E. Church next Sunday morning. In the afternoon Mir. Morrison will preach to young men.
 -Landlord Crossman had one hundred and six arrivals since Tuesday evening last. Among his summer boarders we notice George B. Turrell, Esq, and fami- ly, of New York Mrs. T. is daughter of Henry Migeon, Esq, formerly of this village.
 The Sunday School of tho M. E. Church will hold Paper Festival at the church on Friday evening. Mir. Starr and others will make short addresses to the school. The proceeds will Do devoted to replenishing the Library.
 MT. wm. H. Crossman having failed to con- vince the Connecticut Legislature that the State ought to purchase an oil painting of Abram Lin- coin belonging to him has had the same hung in the pariOr of the Mansion House. The present Is not good legislature to sell pictures of Pres- ident Lincoln tO.-Sentinel.
 Too true. MT. Crossman should have changed the label on that painting from "A. LiBcoln" to 'J. Davis"; and then Reform legislature could have bought it without feeling that they were doing any thing inconsistent with the election of MT. W. w. Eaton to the U. s. Senate. On Thursday there was severe thun- der storm at this place. Lightning splin- tered three telegraph poles at the foot of East Hill. The charge of electricity fol- lowed the telegraph wires both ways: Mr. Slack was considerably shocked at his ice house; and at the postofice there was O report almost as loud as that of mus- ket. The full force of employees. and some others, were present at the time; but, a second or so afterwards, when another flash was expected, no one happened to be there.
 Our neighbor of the Enquirer" is now a:resi- dent of Washington. We expect he intends to go to the legislature next year from that town, and so colonizes there in imitation of that great man Treat, of Woodbridge.
 Nomlnation accepted; and now, If our friend will only reprint it's celebrated Fl editorial on the Hon. Henry R. Morrill,, late Judge of Probate for this District, with suitable change of name and date, it will ensure our electionl By tho way, are we to sit in the old or new State House next year2 Shouldn't want our name DaskAd nm tha hack of a aaot in tha vrono, Capitol.
 Tho "Nameless" B. B. O. played the Gunnery Nine on Saturday afternoon last, at this place. The Gunnery boys have been reinforced by Brinsmade, of Har- ward, as pitcher. and played a very good game throughout. The Litchfield Nine were greatly weakened by the loss of their catcher, Cypher, and played very bad ly as the following score sufficiently indis cates:
