A pLHAsAsr PARTY.

A surprise party met al the house of slr. Apgpstus CurtIs, in stmtford, on Frldy evenipg llje 18th, inst. to c,ie, brate the eightleih birthday of Mrs. Sarah Ann Curtis, widow Of the late John Curtis, of Newtown. She is now living In Stralford, and is d remarkable lady of her age Judging from the brightness of her eye, elasticity of her step. and the vigor of her intellect, one would hardly think. that even sixty win ters had passed over her, head. The party, select one, after having spent an hour or two. in social conversation were invited into the dining room, where the table was spread loaded with delica. cies and substantials to meet the wants of the inner man. After doing ample justice to the viands, they returned to the sitting room where the time was spent pleasantly until the time arrived to separate when all returned to their homes well pleased with their visit. = ,Standard.

THE CENTRAL HOUSE AND ITS NEW
 PROPRIETOR,

For several weeks. past i..has been ru- msrsd ia ,dws. and. vicinity, ths, NIT. Douglas Fairchlld, the popular proprietor of the Central House, had sold out hls in. ierest, md Lad left tosa to take the Tur ner House, of Danbury, but. as nothing of the Kind had actually occurred nhll Saturday last, we refrained from men. tiouiHg ady of the rumors, or coffectihg any Of the newspaper publications in these columns. Now that everything has been satisfactorily arranged, we are at liberty 10 speak of the changes that have taken place.
 Mi Gsp. .H. 'Browne, of New Haven, has bought out Mir. Fairchlld's interest, and will in future have the management of this beautiful hotel and Summer re- sort, assisted by his amisble wife, both of whom are somewhat experienced in the business, having had charge of Bran ford Point House, last Summer, and we feel satisfied that the popularity of MT, Browne, and his good management, will increase the reputation of this hotel, and attract many new, as well as the old pa. irons to II.
 Mir Michael J. Houlihan, who has for the past year been employed at this ho- tel, having charge of the livery, will in future attend to the duties of the bar. room, ! He is very popular, and in his new position will, we doubt not, perform its duties with fidelity to his employer, and actep,abyto the public
 MT. Donglas Fairchild left town Sat. urday, and will be found hereafter at the Turner House, the management of which he enters upon with the best wish es of 8 host of. friends, MT. Fairchild makes whole-souled landlord, and his reputation as such is we'll, known. His management of the Central House was excellent, and the house at all times a marvel of neathess, kept so by the care. fpl supervision of Mrs. Fairchild.
 The Turner House is being put into the most perfect condition possible, and will with the many Improvements recent ly made. present greater attractions than evef to the travelling public
 Mir. Watson Betts, who. for short time had charge of the Central House bar rrpom goes with MT. Fairchild to the Turner House. Watt made many friends hore, by.his pleasant social department, and will no doubt make other friends in hls nM Ap6sition.a fa:s- ''k,,,
 We hope that the changes may prove advantageous to allparties, and while we part with MT. Fairchild and wife with feelings of regret flor their many kind oficeslo sus, still 4we believe that the change is to them very pleasan. one. |. The citizens of NeWtown will assem- ble at the Central Honse Monday even. ling, at an appointed 7,hour;, 'lrsaded by Judge Peters band, of Danbury, to give MT. Geo. H. Browne house warming. There will be dancing, and a grand sup per, Tickets $2. Don't forget it.

 ENTERTAINMENT.

Last s.IhursdaY evening Prof, Sedg
 wick gave, for the benefit of the Sunday school scholars of the Congregational church, one of lis excellent illuminated lectures, presenting: a collection of views that were decidedly handsome, accompa- nied with brief description of each pic ture. The church was not full, yet con- sidering the distance that many who at: tended had to travel, the number pre- sent was large. At the close of the lect! ure Rev. MT. Hoyt requested the audience to remain and witness the presentation of some gifts to members of the school, after which Santa Claus would visit the children, and make them each present. MT. Hoyt then presented the Superinten- dent, W. w. Perkins, a handsomely. bound book, the name of which we do not know at present. MT. Perkins re. eeiyedit with many thanks and spoke very feeIihgly.

Miss Minnie Weed received a sum of money, in greenbscks, which, while being presented, created consider able meRimeut MT. Hoyt held up a bill, and said it was intended for Miss Minnie Weed, and requested her to come forward and get it. The young lady did so, bowed her thanks, and returnsd to her seat, when be again called her up, and banded out more money. She took this and retired, and was again recalled. This was repeated several times; until MT .Hoyt folded the remainder. and handed it to her, Mr. Henry Weed, the father of the young lady, made q short speech, returning thanks in behalf of his daughter, ..s sl. z q
 The audience then listened toa very cleverly-told Christmas story by Rev, MT Hoyt, for the benefit of the little folks, which seemed to please thenr gil very much. Theu the sssemblage re- tired to the basement of the church, to await the coming of Santa Claus. The room was very much crowded, apd San ts Claus had to pack them like sardines in box. when passing ffom his hiding place to the children <-. s.,
 The appearance of Santa Claus made the children laugh with delight, and 8 his many gifts were disposed of. the children were made very happy. When

THE CLOSING.
Final Exercises In the Examination
Of the Cairo High school

The closing exercises in the examina
ton OF the Cairo High school took place
yesterday, in the presence of one OF the
largest audiences We have eyer known to
assemble on any similar occasion in this
city. In fact at no time within the last
ten years have we known so much and
such deep interest to be taken
in the affairs of our public
schools. and particularly in the nig h
school department, as has been mani
tested during the examinations just
closed. Citizens generally seem to have
taken new and increased interest in the
welfare and success OF the public schools,
and a new determination that they shall |
take no step backward.
THE FORENOON.
The exercises during the forenoon
consisted OF rccitations by the classes i'm
Algebra, Geometry and Rhetoric, fol.
lowed by exercises in Telegraphy and
Photography. These Rotations were OF
highly interesting and entertaInins
/
character, aud were listened 10 by the
large audience with the closest attention.
During the exercises in
TELEGRAPHY AND PHoNoGRApHY
A number OF strangers were present,
among them Col. Jones OF Joliet, and q
clergyman, whose name has slipped our
memory, and others. Miss Daisy Halli.
day, Miss Minnie Powers and two or
three others. sent and received messages
with a correctness and rapidity that not
only surprised but astonished the audi.
ence, and especially the visitors from
abroad. A clergyman present was asked
! to make few remarks to the school, and
at the conclusion OF his address was nc
little surprised to learn that perhaps hal
a dozen scholars had taken down his
speech in "short hand" This concluded
the exercises OF the forenoon.
IN THE AFTERNOON
The attendance OF visitors was much
larger than duri"s the morning, and
