The present proximity of Mars ani
Saturn in the hesvens has occasionet
much star gazing. Mars is now sixty

will have reached its extreme point in

III the heavens; the fiery, rudy hue
which he assumes making his disc
readily discernible. The present con-
lupctlon of the two heavenly bodies is
noteworthy by reason of its frequency.
Mars time of revolution about the
SUI is twice that of the earth. while
Saturn has year twenty-nins and a

will be afforded similar sight.

The frost has played some queer freaks here, this winter. The ice in the pond in J. c. -Calhoun's and Major Pierce's lot, rose up in the spring thaw and wrenched several lengths of picket fence of from the posts. The casing of the turbine wheel in Kelloggis and Pieree's saw mill was broken by the frost, but is now re- paired, and the mill is saving away as good ever. The Democratic and Repub- ican caucuses were held Wednesday after noon in the Town Hall; considerable n- valry was shown shown in the nomination of democratic representatives.
 Thursday night, the 1st, the D " Y K society gave an entertainment in the Town Hall to an audience of twenty or more of the ste:ner sex: The Prosecut- ing Agent and Mulligan Guards were well rendered and proved quite amusing; the music was also very good Forty-six candidates returned home from the cleo. tion, Monday night, sadder but wiser men till next year; only few of them had spirit enough left to remark that ''they were like Lazarus. cause they'd been lick ed by dogs" J.

On Friday evening, the 2d inst, in American Hall, Thomaston, the First Grand Annual Ball" was held 'under the auspices of Gaston Lodge, No %. K. of F." It appears that Thomaston did not condescend to ascend old Castle hill'' to attend our village caucus, but 5adly struck out for themselves by nominating George B. Pierpont, democrat, for Representa- tive. At the center. the Republicans mo- minated N. Taylor Baldwin, and the Dem- ocrats Abijah W. Welton. It appearing 1 evident that MT. Baldwin could not be elected, many Republicans voted for his
 opponent, whose election is thus ensured
 by nearly one hundred majority. The re-
 suit is that MT. Welton is to be member
 of the next General Assembly of the State 1 of Connecticut. .3s-s+hf ;s.rrry. May be line to go and eat shad:

 Election was lively. the Republicans of the town boiled their last man and the Democray did themselves credit by scratch ing their candidates for sheriff and con- gressman to an unprecedented extent. Our candidate for Representative. Mir. David Huntington. made splendid run and came within five votes of an election Levi Baldwin takes H.

There has been quite 8 crop,of ice. this season, in spite of the wise prediction that we should have an open winter. We saw man find some ice the other day in the street. He sat down quite unwillingly. When he arose he turned round to see how.large hole he had made in it. He limped along on his winding way but he didn't whistle and look as though he was uncertain about something. The expres' sion on his face certainly indicated that ii he really was amused he was doing his best to keep from showing it.
 The constant flow of water from the hills for the last few days has injured the roads considerably which in many places are washed so badly that it is with difficulty that they are travelled At all.
 A town meeting was recently held for the purpose of ascertaining what should be done about the rebuilding of Boardmanis Bridge. The Company offer to give up thelr charter providing the town will pay them for the remnants of the old bridge abutments. &c. The meeting was adjourn ed to some future date. Gaylords Bridge will be rebuilt by the company as soon as the condition of the river will permit
