 A party of ten started for the Centen- nial this week. If they took the boat at Bridgeport, last Monday night, they must have had rough time. A large portion of this party went away and neglected to secure substitutes to occupy their respec- seats in certain store. The proprietors pray for safe and speedy return.
 The Audience that listened to Hon. O. H. Platt of West Meriden, on the 14th, was large and enthusiastic.
 The Tilden & Hendricks banner, the folds of which have so long waved "O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave,"
 and whose mammoth proportions and showy lettering have excited universal interest of both parties, sustained se- were drawback to future usefulness last Sunday night The political news from Maine and Vermont, so. unfavorable to the party it represents, together with the rain and wind of Sunday night, prov ed too much for the old campaigner. Monday morning found it several feet be- low half mast; in fact, it was lying half buried in the mud and sand, immediately under its former aerial place of existence. The fallen monarch. with the suspended relic, was "toted" to Aliens back yard, where jury composed of several of the best Democrats the place affords render ed the following verdict: eff Allen hadn't been such miserable fool and left it out through the rain, it would not have been torn" This unnatural verdict, peculiar 10 to the party, was upset when some one discovered that life was not extinct. It was agreed that it could be tackled to- gether and made to serve the purpose of the party for the remainder of the cam- paign. But what a subject to work on: it look ed like the sails of a sail boat that had weathered thunder storm.

 Petty thieving is reported north of the village at the houses of D. Whalon, and German by the name Kiersh. In the former the house was pretty thorough lY ransacked, but nothing was missed by the family except some provision, and a quantity of dried blackberries. In the latter. few gallons of rum, his entire stock of wine, and turkey were taken. Many will wonder how Mir. Kiersh, who is unlicensed, happened to have such an ex- tensive stock of that which intoxicates on hand, just for his own private use. It is a difficult fact to account for, unless he treats his friends pretty extensively.
 The "WorreII Sisters" advertised for last Saturday night, failed to put in an appearance at the required time. It is rumored that they were unable to pay thelr bills at Winsted, and so hurried by to New York to avoid any unnecessary un- pleasantness. At any rate, the advance agent contracted bills here which in his haste to get away he forgot all about. It isn't probable they will attempt to repro duce this last play of theirs, especially to a Wolcottville audience.
 The Centennial party of last week have returned. A portion of the party. were rather unfortunate in obtaining lodg-- ings. The beds they were compelled to occupy were little better than the "hard side of a rock.' They severally agree they would sooner rest their weary bones on Philadelphia sidewalk, than to repeat the discomfort they experienced in sIeep- ing, or trying to sleep, on one of those boarding house beds. The worst cases are fearfully deformed. but will soon out grow that part of it.
