Trio AL BERsAGLIo.-This association of
Italians made a public parade, in full uni
form, last Sunday, and afterward enjoyed
dinner given by the president. Mr.. Rochi,
at the corner Of St. Louis and Chartres
streets. The occasion of the parade was to
commemorate the independence of Italy for
the seventh time. In the morning the
weather was SO unprOpitious that the COM
pany concluded not to turn out, but about
four o'clock in the evening the sky cleared,
and so rifles were shouldered, the company
marching through several principal streets,
music play ing and the American and Italian
flags flying. When they reached the corner
of Chartres and st. Ann streets they met a
long procession of Catholic jubilants who
were marching from church to church. The
Italians halted and presented arms in token
of respect, the band playing appropriate
music Most Of the male jubilants recOg-
nized the compliment by taking off their
hats as they passed The incident. although
unexpected, was a very impressive one and
generally commented on. The serenade
given us was appreciated.

The sky is brighter. We had three days without rain, last week. There was liberal supply, however, on Wednesday, causing the highest and most destructive fleod we have had since Novenaber 1s5a Miles of fence were swepeawaYs ebe step bridges 12 to 50 feet long, amounting to about 25O feet Tn all. Several others were more or less injured and nunierons smaller ones and sluices' were torn away The roads were badly washed, and the es- timated addition to our town tax. is at least g, ,eee,, and probably will be eA1aaeh more.

 Where grass ,wassvery light at the usual having season many of onf' farmers let it stand for further growth and most of it would have been gathered during the eight working days next preceding the flood, had the weather permitted.

Thomas Root has ten acres which cannot be cut at all; some other meadows are in like condition but not as badly in- iured.

 Rev. Wm. E. Basset. has thought best, in consequence of continued ill-health, to resign hls pastorate. A paper containing his resignation and expression of love for his people was read by a layman after the close of the mornings service amid tears and regrets, for no pastor ever had "a stronger hold on the affeetions,o of his peo- pie. It has been evident for months that he needed and must soon have rest and a change to enable him to regain health and strength. The church will doubtless comply with his request to be dismissed in October. ;-

 Several Sabbaths since, burglar broke into the house of MT. Ed. Hartwell, and stole an hundred dollars worth of proper ty while the family were gone to church. A few days after. he was arrested ill the vicinity of Dover Plains and now lies in Poughkeepsie awaiting his trial for an alleged crime in the state of New York. He is also awaiting requisition from the Governor of this state for the burglary in Sharon.
 Another theft took place right in mid. day at the head of Sharon St. Under the pretense of getting drink of water,a boy stepped into the back room of MT. Geo. Coles grocery While there he turned the key in the door. and, watching his op- portunity while Mir. Cole was gone to i, dinner, he went in and stole two dollars in money and escaped with perfect im- punity, as nothing has, or probably will be, done in the premises.

CHAPTER II.


 Within its short space of history South vile has had its Great Trial. and its flood (without an arkI Joseph HaWley and others petitioned the town, and brought a suit for road over certain rocks and ridges in their neighborhood, a road which was certainly not at all required. Result, the Superior Court of Southville convened in that stately edifce, the capitol; Hon. E. Seymour. of Bridgeport, representing the, town and Hon, Mir. Huntington. ,oi l. .woodbdry representing the plaintfH. On Wednesday the grand summing up occur. ed, Mir. Seymour's speech occupying 3123 seconds, NIT. Hnntington's being II sec- onds shorter. Finally the -caseIwas de. cided against Til MT. Hawley. On the same day it rained heavily. The Weewa. kee rose in few hours higher than it has been before in twenty years, washing away two saw-mills. one bridge, and tearing up several rods of highway. A land slide occurred which covered portion of Mir. Frank Hinkley's tobacco patch and moved his house to the very verge of the. eontih. ually caving bank. MT. Lemuel Griswold, the disciple of Crispin, moved all the ar ticles from his house into ss'the hall where chieftains late convened" but the torrent damaged him no further than by exposing his cemented cellar wall and digging and washing his potatoes.
 In an hour and a half the Housatonic rose three feet, tearing out the platform and bridge and bringing down and partly dismantling that derrick on the pier oi Rabbits Bridge. in Sohthsil1e, doing a considerable damage to Mir. I. N, Bart. ram, the contractor. A streamlet from the mountains swelled and came down the road embracing the schoolhouse with ifs muddy arms, so that the scholars. were blessed with a half holiday. Several bridges lower down and in Brookfeld and Little York were taken away and much damage was caused all around. As the rain ceased for a whilesand the,suu shone forth tantalizingiy. Messrs. Seymour and Huntington set out for tAea station with taoughtfpl brows and good cigars. After alhalfhours pleasant drive, fecess ios cioossasad sa and the jarring thunder once more spilled the cloud-vessels and Messrs, s. and IT remain in Southvi1le for the present till they dry of. !a1g5aE sti 1T 1iiA

There was 6 peach festival at the chapel on Wednesday, and Thursday of last week. A few ventured out in ovefcoats and wa. terproofs, but the attendance and receipts were necessarily small.

 The new Naugatuck depot is decided ly "neat but not gaudy." It is acompact, durable looking structure, an ornament to the place and credit to the company. It will soon have new furniture.

EDITOR ENoUrRER;-The foregoing card of Mir. James Aldis contains a statement which desire to correct through your paper. I took my place at the home plate as striker when our nine came in from the field. The Nutmeg catcher asked me to step aside while he and the pitcher passed the ball a few times before play began. I stepped back two or three feet while they did so and then resumed my position at the home plate, and stood there ready to strike during the discussion about the protest and until the umpire declared the game forfeited. heard no call of ''play'' from him.
 After the hines returned from the ground, heard Mir. Aldis admit at the Mansion House, in the presence of num- Der of persons who will substantiate my statement, that I was ready at the bat when he called the game.
