 The wedding of Mir. Charles Edwards and Miss D. s. Dovey. July 29th, was a pleasant affair. The full marriage service of the Episcopal Church was performed by Rev. J. F. Schroder.

Two slightly intoxicated strangers came there for work. and were attacked for some trivial cause by New Milford roughs who blacked their eyes and pounded their faces generally leaving the marks of low railing all over them.

The editor of tho Winsted Herald ad- mits that. eft is pleasanter to have an un- trained choir out of range of the eyes of a church congregation, where the business department of the musical end of the church can be worked up behind red chintz curtains; where the soloists can be privately tutored during sermon time; where the choir library can be ransacEed for an appropriabe tune for an odd metre that the minister has put down on hls list,
 and where the members of the choir can tear fly leaves from tune books on which to wrIte notes to each other-pass around prize packages of sugared sweet flag, or catch few minutes nap while the pulpit end is finally drawing its essay to a con- cluslon." But he maintains that all the choir 'business" should be transacted at Saturday evening rehearsals.
