A Ripple.

On Monday there was considerable ex- citemeht in town occasioned by the ar rest of servant girl in the employ of the city boarders who was charged with injuring a child, also from the city, had the girl arrested, and she would have undoubtedly gone to jail in default of bonds were it not for the very prompt and praiseworthy efforts of MT. Robertson of New Haven, who being 8 lawyer, volunteered to defend the girl A hear ing was had before Justice Wilson in the town clerks office regarding bond &c. Lawyer Sanford, insisted on the prisoner either giving bonds or going to jail. Jus tice Wilson, decided to hear the case more fully, the next day and remanded the prisoner into the custody of the con stable MT. John H, Blackman who took charge of her and was responsible for her appearance the next day at 10 o'clock after which the court adjourned. On Tuesday this unhappy affair ended by the parties prosecuting, withdrawing the suit.

Celebrating Their Birthday.

Mir. Lewis P. Morehonse, of New Haven, was in town last week, on 6 visit to Judge Charles Fairman's family, and celebrated, with his twin sister, Mrs Fanny Fairman their sixty fourth birth day which came August 4lh. It is a very rare thing that twin children live to the age that this pair have, and, judg- ing from their appearance, they have yet many more years to live. They seem to be in the best of health. MT. More house is the gentleman that clung all of last winter to the old straw hat, and wore it against the admonilions of his friends, who shuddered at the contrast of man with an Oyercoat on, and otherwise comfortably clad, wearing straw hat. The cause of it was explain ed by MT. M., who said that he would continue to wear the straw hat until the presidential question was settled, and meant to do it if it took ten years. But the case was settled by the seating of Mir. Hayes. Mir M laughs. and enjoys the novelty of his resolution, even to this day, and in this respect is not far ahead of Judge Fairman, ,wholoves good joke, also

A coo,, Hunt.

Morris Botsford, of Cold Sping, and Frank H. Norton, of New York, went into Pine Swamp, Friday morning ac companied hy their celebrated hound Dom Pedro, and were started almost out of their wits, by the appearance of a coon. Dom Pedro waded out for the coon and killed it.; not however until the coon had obtained a pretty good meal out of Dom Pedro's ears. These young Nimrods intend to canvass Pine Swamp, daily. One of them that looked like Morris, said to Frank, "you and l will have to take an extra hitch in our suspenders, if that BEE man hears of this, and slaps it ill the paper"

That Hop.

Another of those occasions for which the Central House has became so justly noted was had on Saturday evening last, and was pronounced by all to have been the most successful of the season, The guests of the House were out in full force, and their number being supple mented by good representation from Dicks Hotel, together with the liveliest and best of our townspeople, large and at the same time select assemblage was secured. We were particularly pleased with the kindly feeling and social good will that seemed to exist between the guests of the two hotels, and sincerely hope it will continue and increase, and be reciprocal pleasure.
 The dining hall was cleared of tables at about eight o'clock, the room bril- liantly lighted and tastefully festooned with flags and soon the floor was occu- pied by as many couples as the spacs would comfortably accommodate. There were the usual number of admiring and sympathetic friends skirting the room, and when Bradley's orchestra had tuned all were merry.
 The entertainment was entered into with unusual zest and easy enjoyment.

WHAT THE TOWN NEEDS.

It is pleasure to us to again refer to the needs of the town, because of the interest that our former article npon the subject, has awakened.
 We were surprised, when told that it has been the aim of cert,ia gentle. men in the town, to get good supply ofwater, but except what individual effort has accomplished, nothing else has been done. Mir. Win. J. Dick, in company with two or tliree others, whose names were called to our atten- tion, bu; have since escaped our mem- ory, made all effort to get water from q convenient source, but did not meet with encouragement. Others have made mention of the matter to us, and are indeed anxious to cooperate in forming an association for the specific purpose of supplying Newtown with good, wholesome water. The cost of obtaining it is, to all who have said anything about it, considered mere nothing, to what the advantages would be. Our hotel proprietors feel the need of it, as we'll as do other business men, and as an evidence of this we will state that about the first suggestion that was made to us, che or two mer- chants gave us their opinion that the town ought to be better protected from fire than it is. There is nothing that is so yitally important to town as a well-conducted water-works and fire-department, and we hope that the day is not far distant when We shall see both. To secure it let there be an or ganized effort made to accomplish it. Who will take the lead !?

"DougIas" smiled benienly on all, and mine host was more than agreeable, Efii. clent Edgar. with his hair cut very short. was able to stand It very long. and fitted about the room as the genllemanly floor manager.
 The toilets of the ladies were in fine taste. and indeed some of them remarka- bly, elegant, but all free from fashiona' ble frigidity. Among the throng VIC no- tlced Mir. and Mrs McPhail, Mir. and Mrs. Z,hm, Mrs. and Miss Crepo, Mir. and Mrs. Badger and Gus L, Foster, all of BIooklyn; Col. and Mrs. Robertson of New Haven; Miss Annie Blakesley of St. Petersburg. Pa Mrs. Scott of Tole- do, Ohio; Mir. and Nj 8, Galway and the Misses Galway. Mir, and Mrs Sanford, Mir. Julian Fairchild and Mr. Wm. w. Bennett of New York, and Mir. and Mrs. Weed of Stamford. There were also many new faces of recent arrival In town. Of our resident citizens and la dies were Mir. and Mrs, Mark Hawley in all their etherial loyelness; the Misses Gateley from the Glen Ca charming trio); Miss Annie Sanford, Miss Mamie Glover, Miss Mamie Hawley, Misses Curtis, Hammond and Beers; Messrs. Griffin, Hawley, Beers, Botsford and Marble.
 The occasion occurring Saturday even ing, music ceased at hslf-past eleven, and an adjournment was made for two weeks.
 Query: Why cannot these receptions alternate with similar entertainments at Dicks, and so insure our guests, as well as ourselves, a jolly time erery week9

The Hop At The Central House.

Our readers no doubt wondered why there was no mention made of the Hop, in last weeks issue. other than slight allusion, which appeared under the head of correspondence. In justice to our. selves, and others connected with this office, and to the gentleman that sent us the communication that we print in this issue. we will state, that it was mistake occasioned by the near resemblance of two articles received. One came direct ed to THE BEE. The other was sent to another office, properly addressed, and reached us, and was laid aside, to be printed if we had room for it. It turn ed out that there would not be room for both, so by mistake the copy which had been laid aside was handed to the compositor, who of course had no knowl- edge of there being more than one article and of course set the article according to copy, The, to us, painful mistake, was not discovered until it was too late, and we had to go to press, without word in reference to the Hop, which everybody who attended voted to be the most bril- liant of the season.
 We trust that our readers will excuse the errors of last week, and we hope that in future there will be no more cause for complaint,
 We would take this occasion to say to all correspondents that they will oblige us very much, if they will, when send ing articles for publication, send their names also. We cannot publish articles unless we know the author personally, of have his name. This will be our rule from this date.
