Washington Lectures.

The small pox has ceased to furnish an interesting subject of conversation. The man who invented the story that he could not get within mile and half of the Green because the roads were all fenced up, is requested to give notice in his neighborhood that the roads are all open, and the sleighing very good The one veritable case of small pox proves to be the only one. There is not. probably, a man, woman. or child in the town on whom the disease, even if rampant, could turn their attention to the good old way of peddling pills. Thanks to the scare, we are we'll insured against one of the ills of life.
 We'turn our thoughts therefore to lit erature and lectures. We propose, in in the first place to dedicate the New Hall to it's intended use Already the Confer once Room, hereafter to be called The ''Chapel," has been consecrated; and dur ing last week was in daily use. <.
 On Wednesday evening, Jan. 2Oth, we propose to s6lemnize the inauguration of the Hall At7 o'clock we shall begin with short addresses (not over ten min utes, each by clergymen and others. At 8 o'clock Dr. J. G. Holland will deliver @ lecture edtitled The Mission of Conflict. 1 At the close of his lecture the doors will be opened, and the odor of coffee and oys- ters will pervade the Hall. z It is unnecessary to say anything more. Your readers can imagine the rest. They shall not go home empty. F.W. GUNN.

hast weeks report was very much a
 matter of holiday parties. This week seems to furnish chapter of accidents. On Friday morning, Charlie Hickox, youngest son of tue postmaster at the Center, met with serious mishap. He was sliding through MT. Gunn's orchard, wher, los ing control of his sled on the ice, he ran into an apple tree and was thrown off so violently as to break both bones of his left arm just above the wrist. He was carried into Mr. Gunn's, Dr. Brown called in. and the bones were set. On the after noon of the same day, as three boys were sliding down the hill in front of the Gun nery on one sled, they ran near yoke of oxen standing partly in the road. One of the oxen kicked at them three times Tn succession as they passed, knocking two of the little fellows clean off the sled. They will carry the marks of the encount- CT for few days but were not seriously hurt. Rather dangerous amusement for youngsters, that of being kicked by an OK on the head just over the eye.
 MT. Gidman, of Morris. exchanged with Mc Colton, Sunday, preaching very ably.
 Sunday morning was extremely cold, the thermometer reaching 100 below zero ] in some parts of the town.
 On Friday the Freemasons dedicated their new hall in the third story of Baker and Brinsmade's new 'block." The room is very nice and convenient one, and those present report very pleasant time at the dedication and the entertainment in the evening. There was no extraordinary effort made, only the craft of this lodge, and few invited ladies being present.
 The Match Company are in daily ex pcetation of receiving their new machinery fir om Germany and will probably be ready to begin work about the first of next month.
 Last week was the ice harvest" |" Huge blocks, from 12 to 16 inches in thickness, were ploughed out of Platt's dam and carried to the Railroad ice house, Baker and Brinsmade's and the Gunnery. The R. R. Go. stored away about 150 tons; :; B. X B. about 90. z.

D. Burnham's store is fast being con- sti'ucted by some Bridgeport carpenters wllo seem to thoroughly understand their business and attend to it. The building pr omises when completed to be fine structure of which Mir. B. may we'll be proud. MT. B. is showing what young mnn, by honesty, industry and economy may do. He has gradually gained and kept customers, and now he finds constant employment for himself and two clerks. We wish more of our young men might pattern after him.
 An exciting pugilistic performance occur red at the harness shop on Monday morn Ing, between two of our most noted citi- zens. We refrain from mentioning names. Considerable pulling of whiskers was done and finally fists and hammers were brought into acquisition. It was most disgraceful affray and will furnish gossip for the village for long time, and, proba- bly, business for lawyers. The same spirit which IS manifested in the churches pre- vails throughout the village. Who won- ders at it? M
 MT. Fred. o. Beeman left us this week for Tennessee W here he may remain for a number of years provided he procures situation such as he desire S.. We thiuk he will have no difficulty about that, for he is an excellent penman and scholar and can easily obtain situation as book-keep- CT, and command large salary. We are sorry to lose him for he has been one of the most active in aiding our Lyceum and Dramatic and other entertainments.
 F. Cogswell is doing good business in meats and groceries. People will do we'll to patronize him.

 A few facts in the history of Judea ex- tracted from the church records:
 The first settlement was made in 1734. The first framed house was built in 1736. Judea was incorporated with society prlvi- liges in 174l; the first church organization m l74l. Judea was incorporated with New Preston society into the town of Washington in -17S9. During the first ninety years after the organization of the church only eight persons held the office of deacon; and the first seventy years from its settlement, it numbered eighteen Mill. | tia Captains, and seven other Captains be. longing to the Artillery and Cavalry. Tins period embraces the French and In. dian war, also the war of the revolution and evinces the patriotism of the place During this period there were but five Jus tices ofthe Peace (no small potatoes il those days). Increase Moseley was the first who held the office of Deacon, Constable Captain of Militia and Justice of Peace il this society. fn one year during this period there was not a single death in this com munity. But six deaths in 1795, four il 1796, eight in 1797 when the population was some two hundred greater than it il at present. Qt is supposed the small pol did not::prevail in those years). In 1s2; there were but four deaths and in 182t but SIX In a population of about HOO The first inhabitants were general. frugal. temperate, industrious, plain livers moral. and orderly. This accounts for thei longevity good morals and intelligence.
