,or These men have {

ways been warm friends and so public a rupture of old relations causes much com- ment. The license of speech in which prominent citizens of New Preston. when angry. indulge in public places has given our village an extremely bad name where over it is known. If George 0. Hitchcock has been the chief and the oldest teacher of our local school of abuse, it must be confssssd that 1hs has some very apt pupils.
 FESTIVAL AND FA1R.-On Tuesday even; ing of this week the ladies' sewing society will hold their annual festival and fair at Union Hall.

The Congregational church was filed by an. n.appreeiative audience. and many of
 fa q eS-ss zI rsq .el 5s cfS thena have said that they never enjoyed a more delightful evenings entertainment, Of the many who took part in the enter tainment. Mir Akin, of New York, is most deserving of notice. He is possessed of magnificent bass voice and all who heard him were more than delighted. It is not often that any of us hear such s'eloquent" singing as that with which MT. Akin fav- hored us on Tuesday evening last. The -"New Preston Musical Union" have al- ready earned wide reputation as a we'll trained chorus. The concert was U sreat success. financially as we'll as well as mus ically, and it will always. be 2 pleasant memory with those who took an active part in it. May the new organ long prove source of enjoyment both to choir and church. '' ''-,' i'''+ ''''' '''-' -s''''1 '','.

 TREsPAss.-Fo the past few months Messrs. G. A. Glover and Edmund Gal vin's horses have been pastured in the highway. It is great annoyance, to say nothing of the illegality, and we under stand that unless these trespasses are dis continued measeres will be taken to stop these breaches of law aud oFder.i i a2a
 THE MEAT BUSINESS. s.-Boarders have been grumbling very seriously, this sea- son. about the quality of meat onr village affords, and arrangements have been made with New Milford butchers to supply some of the boarding houses. MT. Lyman. of our own village, has always tried to satisfy his customers, and we think with success. Next season competent dealers will supply the village with the best of meats. ,, JUSTICE.

The finest numbers on the program were the quartets and the, quintet, sung in such perfect time and withsue complete unity of expression as to present the beautiful music of the glee. the madrigal., and the four partIsong in its most attractive form. This is kind of music that. is popular with the musical and the unmusical alike. Combining the sweet chords. the grand swells and the beautiful diminishes of the old Hutchinson four part song, with 2 . much livelier movement, and a vastly greater variety of harmony aandi modula- tion, they are master pieces of one2 of the highest orders of vocal music. a It is here that Mrs. Brainerd's quarter stands m, rivallsd. As soloists ws, heat them often excelied on the operatio stage, but the ordinary chorus and quartet singing of the opera is>entirely wanting in that del- icacy of shading and. beantyiof expression which this quartet give to 1ths English glee music. They offer an entertainment which is as meritorious, asl it, is universal ly popular. F sGi ,esgasj au5. jma1l sA3 II
