 Lakeville. e.-MR. EDITOR :-Charles Key worth, dealer in mother O pearl, tortoise shell, ivory, deer horn, etc., for the handles of pen and pocket knives, sailed from New York in the Spain last Saturday for Eng land on business trip.

 First Frost.-It seems a little early to begin to talk about frost, but the cold wave that followed the long season of great heat, and which was felt last Sunday, made pretty substantial frost in and about Lime Rock Sunday night. Monday morn- ing all the corn in tue region of the frost was found to be nippec, and all garden vegetables susceptible of injury by early freezing were destroyed.
 Pleasant w Words.-We called upon Edit or Tease, of the CONN. WESTERN NEWS, the other day, and found him pleasantly situated in the little village of Salisbury. But few men would have selected this place for newspaper field, and but few could have made successful attempt at keeping a paper alive there. But MT. Pease has attained very remunerative business, be- sides greatly pleasing all his patrons with a first-class newspaper. Although our broth CT editor is not situated so as to command great run of job printing, his superior business management ensures him success with his newspaper, wherever he might be located. Success to THE NEws.- Wolcott- 0iHe Register.
 Locomotive Water.-The drouth rend- CTS the water tank at this station specially valuable to the Conn. Western railroad company. The tank on the side of the mountain just west of Canaan is dry, and as consequence there is no water to be obtained for locomotives between Salisbury ard West Norfolk. The locomotive of the ore train is obliged to come over to thls tank from Canaan every morning at o'clock. to get supply to do its work at the East Canaan furnaces, before it comes to the ore mines for ore later in the forenoon The water at this tank is very soft and good for the purpose, and with the supply, which, in the severest drouth is never found wanting, must be prized highly by the company.
 Visit to the Parsonage.-On Thursday last a large wagon-load of people hailing from the Mount Everett House, South Egremont. Mass, paid visit to the Con- gregational Parsonage-they being the guests of Rev. Dr. Reid, and Dr. Thomp- son and lady. Among these were Mir. Ro- bert Carter, the well-known New York book publisher, Rev. Wilson Phraner, D. D., of Sing Sing, N. Y.; MT. Nelson, wife and daughters, and MT. Sewell Green, wife and daughter, all of New York.
 After dinner the party visited some of our choicest locations where fine views are obtained of our romantic and noted scene ry: and returned to their summer home well repaid for their ride, by the mountain road and Twin Lakes. May they come again.

 Those Sweet Brothers. It will be re- membered by the villagers how two men left their families year or two since and went out to seek their fortunes, entirely ig- noring the customary formality of bidding their wives an affectionate adieu and ln- forming them where they were going, etc. We are informed their whereabouts has re- gently been ascertained, and that they are in one of the prosperous states of the west, and are there known as the brothers Am prose Norton, and Charles Norton. Those are very pretty names, and it is presumed they make very sweet pair of brothers. When they lived in Salisbury they never "let on" that they were brothers, and folks here knew them as simply Ambrose Nor ton Negus and Charles Decker. Funny. isn't it? Sing, brothers, sing, "should auld acQuaintance he fOroot ,,
