NEwTowN, Aug. Fl, 1877. Editor of tke Bee:
 DEAR SrR.--With no limited degree of pleasure am again this week privileged topresent to your hosts of readers anoth- CT account of one of Newtown's celebrs. ted and far famed instilutions-i. e., the Genital House Hops. Indeed, on Satur. day evening gathering was had in the dining-room of the Central, which, for numbers, brilliancy of female loveliness, offset by richness of garb and choice dowcrs, has not been surpassed this seas. on. As usual, there was noticeable and most laudable commingling of the guests from Dicks with the "home boarders," interspersed with goodly rep. resentations form New York, New Ha- ven, Bridgeport, Danbury, Brookfeld, and other places, as we'll as the elite of our own little village. In point of fact, these little impromptu affairs, ignori ng, :, as they do. the hot and deiested conven- tionalities requisite upon full dress par ties, arc gaining such degree of popu larity as to make very prominent the ne- cessity of more extended accommoda. tions. Perhaps another season may pro- duce them.
 The personnel of Saturday evening was as distinguished ss usual, but too exten- 'ded to cite in detail. All present enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent, and the only murmur of dissatisfaction which foated through the gaily decorated House was that it was "toO short" as the near approach of the Lords day embargoed further festivity; but the "shortness" was balanced by the sweetness
 am glad to know that Brother Fair child coincides with countless others in the opinion that the enjoyment imparted by these Hops IS not little for cent, 1" but genuine Roland for an Oliver af- fairs, and boldly announces his intention of holding several more before the seas- on closes. We clap him on the back and say "Good enoughl" Trustworthy is his constant desire to gratify and please. Bat why will not Mir Dick act upon the query in former issue of THE BEE and alternate in these mediumistic sources of 90 much entertainment for the patrons of Newtown, and thereby increase bis al- ready widespread popularity, as well as to open another avenue for social inter course between the guests of both ho- tels, as well ss tho citizensf

 Editor of Me Bee:
 DEAR SIR. R.-Rev. s. B. Hershey, of Danbury, preached in the Cong. Church here last Sunday. In the forenoon lie took for his text Luke XVI, 10th. In the afternoon Collossians w; 9th. He also preached at 5 o'clock at Mitchcllville in the grove front of C. L. Mitchell Es- quire's house. To say that all who heard him were oesy mueh interested would be stating it oery tame. 1 am not master enough of the English language to give you or your readers a faint idea of his sermons or style of preaching; to appre- ciate him fully one must see and hear him oneself. It seems to me it would be very hard work for person to sleep un- der such preaching. Unless my eyes de- ceived me there was not one in the house either part of the day, or in the grove in the evening, that seemed the least in- clined to sleepiness. We hope he will visit his friends here again soon, and when he comes be sure and come SO as to be with us Sunday.
 The members of the Methodist Church are having little fight all by them selves. It originated, believe, in re- gard to the singing. The minister want. ed, and was bound to hape the choir and organ down in the main body of the church; and the singers were as bound to have the organ and the singing in the gallery. Unbeknown to the choir the organ was moved down stairs; and that day there was no singing, except what was done in the altar. Unbeknown to the minister the organ was moved up stairs, and as he was at camp meeting one Sunday passed of without any struggle as to who was master of the sit uation. But last Sunday the matter came up again, and as to who will come out ahead remains to be seen. It cer- tainly looks to the outside world as if matters in that church were not in very healthy condition.

~ About the poorest remedy
for distress and want of work and
low wages is the wholesale destruc-
ton of property and stoppage of
trade, industry and production. The
stagnation produced by this strike
and its influence on other branches

thousands of dollars lost in wages to
laboring men. 1t is a loss of prof.

fit to capitalists. but they can stand
