 MT. Walter Filley had occasion last week to send 6 boy who is living with him to Thomaston. While in that village, the horse became frightened and ran, throwing the lad out. He fell on his head and lay insensible by the side of tue road till about 3. A. M. Having recovered, he took the road to Waterbury in his bewild- cred state. Seeing light, he succeeded in rousing the inmates, who acted the part of the Good Samaritan. After ascer- taining where the boy lived he was con- veyed home at daylight. The horse nnash- ed up the wagon, and was found by some Coon hunters and taken care of. If the night had been, cold, he would undoubt- edly have perished.

 -Iothose who are interested in having eggs during the winter their hearts will be made glad by the information, that our enterprising Bone and Fertilizer Manufacturers, the Peck Brothers have just started a new. branch of the bone business, that of grinding bones for fowls. The article resembles rice in ap- pearance, so white and clean is it. They also prepare bone manure for house plants. Samples can be had by sending stamps enough to pay postage.

 The Waramaug Lyceum Association held it's fourth regular, weekly meeting in their Hall in Burnham's Block. Peo- pie of this village seem to take good deal of interest in it as the Hall has been full every. meeting thus far. They invite all to join with themin an effort to keep up an interesting Lyceum in Waramaug. Any man can become a members by sign ing the Constitution and paying the small sum of 50 cts. into the treasury of the Association. They have adopted the plan of charging cts. admission fee to all who are not members This they were forced to do because, owing to the limited seating capacity of the room, the seats would all be taken by those who. taknig no interest in the Lyceum or in the de- bate, would go there out of mere curiosi- ty, or to "carry on." and disturb the meetings. The exercises consist of Dec lamations, Select Readings, Essays, and Debates. They expect ere long to start a paper, ''The Waramaug Blunderbuss. '"

The gentlemen that would like to be our Postmaster for the next four years, for two or three days after election amus- ed themselves by telling their Republican friends that they would have the Post office removed to the other side of the river despite the fact that where itds now is the business center of the place.

Many in Washington have pleasant memories of our former residents, MT. and Mrs. Wolsey Leavitt, and will be in- terested to read of their changing their Chicago home for one in the ''sunny South" They left Chicago with their son, the 10th of October, and in due time were safely ensconsed in Florida, about thirty miles from the coast and three from the river, having accomplished all the distance by steam except the last three miles. They are building a home, and father and son each preparing for 8 five acre orange plantation. Calling on 8 neighbour, they found among other fruits that we knew grew in Florida, a citron tree with large thick leaves. and flowers with the fruit. Also large peach tree destitute of leaves. We're told it was "resting." not dying, and that was the only deciduous tree they saw, the whole citro" 8 family being evergreen. l under stand they are not far from Sanford, 8 town of which Mir. Henry Sanford. Q na- tive of Litchfield county. is proprietor
 He bought large tract of land several years ago, and induced Swedes to come and work for him certain length of time in consideration of home and land to be ther own after the time agreed upon. The scheme seems to have been advan- tageous to all. While Mir. w.. W. Leavitt is in moving spirit, his brother, who some years ago moved to New Milford, is also attacked with the migrating fever and possibly we may have the pleasure of welcoming him back to Washington. 1.-The comes he will bring the vegetable ivory button" business with him and make things lively for us at Washington depot.
