 East Canaan F'urnace.-The new fur mace of Barnum Richardson Co.,, at East Canaan, made 105 tons of iron last week, and has averaged 90 tons per week for the past 24 weeks. Isn't this pretty good ''yield ?"
 Burglary.-The depot building at Cha pinville was again burglarized last Sunday night. About 30 New York city tickets, and 15 for Albany were taken, also about a dollar in change from the drawer. The boots and cap belonging to the station agent are gone with the rest of the plum der. -t t' .sa.
 Killed by His wife.-James Buzell of Chever Ore Bed, N. Y., was murdered last Sunday morning by his wife during an al tercation. It appears that Buzell in fit of insanity attempted to assault his wife and was stabbed in the stomach and shortly died. He was forty-1ve years of age and leaves no family but the murderess. He was formerly from Glendale, Berkshire county, Massachusetts.
 Fell Through Bridge.-James Line han, while crossing the railroad bridge at the ore mines at Ore Hill last Saturday, fell through, going distance of about twenty feet. John Reardon, who was with Line, han when he fell, obtained assistance and carried him to his (Reardon's) house near by and physicians were called, when ii was found his hip and arm were broken, and he was badly cut about the head.
 Lakevil1e Reading Room.-The reading room in Lakev1lle is located in the Arm strong building, and is very pleasantly ar ranged. The room is carpeted with rush mating. and supplied with chairs, hanging lamps, stove and long table, and which, when we were in there the other day, was well provided with the current literature of the day. This room will prove to be in valuable to the rising generation.
 A Pleasant word.-We were favored on Friday with short call from MT. J. L. Pease and Geo. E. Bower of Salisbury, Ct. The former gentleman is editor of the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS, published at that place. MT. Pease is useful as we'll as ornamental member of the Press, and that he has acquired knowledge by years of ex- perience is plainly demonstrated by the excellence of the journal under his man. agement.-Dutchess Farmer (PougAkeep- sse). .,. ga .s.
 Centennial Croquet. first game of croquet in the centennial year was played on the grounds of H. H. Cogswell in Ga naan on New Years day, with the ther- mometer standing at soc Fahrenheit. The principal game was played by the Rev. R Hunt and J. Van Deusen against B. R. Hall and E. J. Cooms, in which the rever- end gentleman and partner were beaten-a good omen for the lucky one. Other games were played, in which ladies participated attired in thelr last summer sun hats, minus shawls and cloaks. If such an occasion is on record we have not as yet heard of it.

 Remarkable Weather.-It seemed as ii all nature had joined in the observance oi last Saturday as the birth of the Centennial year, and had donned it's brightest and most cheerful garb for the occasion. Such a summer day in mid-winter was scarcely ever before known. Doors and windows were open and the whole people lived a: much out of doors as in the month ol June. Mercury in thermometers marked from sixty to seventy in the shade, accord ing to location, and the whole aspect o nature was as much like summer as sum- mer itself, and this on the first day of Jan
 uary. The several succeeding days wer, very mild and pleasant, yet none seemed quite to equal that of the first day of ou nations centennial anniversary.
