MT, Augur, the meat man, Is shInglIng

MT Augur, the meat man, Is shingling and otherwise repairing his market, which is always we'll stocked with first class beef and pork. bnt sausngcs whew there has been too great mortality among the feline race not to excite sus- picion. when we notice the stock he d. ways has on hand.
 Mrs. R. B. Phelon, of Providence. R. I, relative of Major Greene, was visit ing his family short time, and returned home Inst Saturday. IL was mistake of ours in last weeks issue in saying that Emma Welsh was in town, She Is residing in Minnesota, and is married to Mir Slade.
 Mir. Nelson Elwood brought to our office two very large eggs, as a sample of what good hen can do. He is in favor of selling eggs by the pound, which when closely figured would mean fifty cents per dozen. This would increase the consumption of hash, and bankrupt the boarding house keepers.
 MT. Starr Blackman, of Hawleyville who has been quite ill with dropsy of the chest, was somewhat better, on Mon, day last. He informed us that he ex- pected to be operated upon by Dr. Ben edict, of Bethel, and Dr. Williams of Brookfield, Tuesday of this week, and we hope that through their skill he may find speedy cure.
 A union praise service will be held in the Congregational church, Sunday even ing, ,Oct.7th. The first of these meetings were held two weeks ago, and was high ly interesting. Rev. Mir. Hoyt selects a hymn, and gives history of it, and it's author, after which the congregation joins in singing it.
 Henry M. Moody, of New Haven, a lad II years of age, died on Monday morning of last week. from the effects of an accidental gun shot wound, receiv- ed while in the felis. in Montowese, He was a brother, of Miss L. c. Moody of Sandy Hook. Miss M. has the sym pathy of her numerous friends in this town. in her sudden affliction.
 The bridge in front of the Sandy Hook meat market has been put into thorough repair. The other, and more important bridge, remains the same as it was when we spoke of it in former issue, but it is expected that some thing will be done by the town, at it's next meeting, concerning the building of a new bridge. Many persons are in favor of stone-arched bridge, and believe that it would be the cheapest for the town.

OUR THANKS.


 Several frlends have been kind enough to favor us with n sample of their fruit and vegetables,
 Richard Ileally loaded . large basket with vegetables of his own raising. In the garden of Dr. W. c. Vile, of Sandy Hook, which were very nice, and pre- senled them 10 us,
 Mir, Asa N. Hawley remembered us with large box of Concord grapes, thai were delicious,
 Mir, Wm, PIatt brought us sample of his peaches. which were beauties. He took n sample of his fruit to the Fair, at Danbury, and we feel assured that he will lnke some of the honors.
 Mr. Charles Norlhrop presented .bas- ket of splendid apples, some of which weighed 10 ounces each, They were very large and of fine flavor.
 Our friends will please accept our sin cere thanks for these favors

ARARE MUSICAL TREAT

Was enjoyed by few of our Brook field and Newtown young people, one evening last week, at the house of MT. John Hawley, on Wisconeer Hill, his is un our estimation) truly one of New Eugland's many happy homes, and both MT. and Mrs. H.-understand how to entertain their friends. Let those who are permitted to spend an evening on the hill not fail to do so. And be sure and go when Charles and Frank are at home, if they wish to hear, what we call good music. We are told that the form CT now holds position as Bass Singer in Calvary church, New York City. About moonlight drive home, ask "Hector," who we think knows the way, although he drives rather slow.
 Well Its dusty so they say,
 And "Hurries never pay"

MT Hull was Followed DY NIT, Il, u, Warner, President of the New Milford water,w works, who gave very fiatlering account of the water works of New Mill ford, and the advantages derived by the town from it's use. He spoke of the ops position 10 1t when the subject of water tirsl began to Dc talked of, and he urged tho people of Newtown village to go for ward and secure watrr which he thought and felt satisfied could be obtained in sufficient quantity, and at very small cost. Ills address was very interesting. and we hope that what he said will bring forth fruit. At the close of Mir. War ner's address Mir. Hull again made few remarks. and again urged tho people to secure this grand object by hearty sup port and liberal subscription. Mr. Hawley requested of those having objec- tions to make, or any questions to ask, to please speak, but no one offered any thing. An effort to raise committee to canvass for subscriptions failed because of two gentlemen that were named de. clining. Mr. Hawley stated 1t had been proposed to raise the 5000 by placing the shares at $l0 each, and that already l50 shares had been taken, leaving a bal ance of $50 shares to be sold. There be- ing no further business the meeting ad- journed.
 The Committee requests of us 10 re. turn their sincere thanks to Mir. Henry Sanford, who kindly offered the use of his hall for the meeting, free of charge. Before closing this article we wish to add that this meeting was in every way highly satisfactory as exhibiting the in terest that is felt in the matter, and that our people are alive to the demands of the hour. That this village should be protected against fire no one questions. There is absolutely no defence against this dreadful foe. There is not water enough in many houses for domestic use, and if all would take the matter into St. rious consideration, the mere cost to those at present needing water would be very slight, It would be good invest ment for each church so ciety to take this stock. The destruction of one of these buildings by fire now would be d greater loss than the cost of the water works. It is a common remark on the street that if building should get to burning good, before discovery it would be destroyed, for there is nothing at hand to put out fire. If one building catches fire, who can tell where it will stop? Our citizens have now the oppor- tunity of adding a great improvement to the town. Let there be harmony and concert of action, and a determination to secure water in the village.
