Notes from Yale.

We hear with pleasure that the two
graduates Of the present collegiate class
ct Newtown Academy, Geo. NJ. Judd and
Wilson II. Pierce, met with very good
success at the Yale examinations. The
entertaining Freshman class Is, one of
the largest ever having entered Yale PA
applications for admission having already
been made, and more will enter In the
Fall. We understand the examinations
this year were very rigid. and great mum
bers we're conditioned, and some alto
gether refused. At the depot, crowds
Of society men" from various Freshmen
societies, besieged the newcomers
for the purpose Of "p'edging' them.
Al the cars, and on them too, on the
streets, at hotels and even private houses,
they fell upon the sub-Freshmen, The
examinations were held In large tent.
tanks of ice-water stood ready 10 relieve
the sufferers Most OF the applicants fin
ished their examination in two days,
Friday and Saturday, June Goth and
Both. Several are expecting TO enter
Yale from here next season.

0, How It Lightened /!

A gentleman residing near the rail
road depot says that he was an eye wit
ness to the following thrilling scene.
Tuesday of last week, during the storm,
while at work in hay field, dog dis
covered woodchuck, and gave chase,
and while running at rapid rate, with
tail erect, fash of lightning struck on
the end of the dogs tail, ard knocked
him down, and it was supposed killed
him. The dog however soon recovered
himself and made for the woodchuck,
and caught him just before he reached
the fence. Judging from appearances
he was truthful man and not gay
deceiver.

BROOKFIILD NOTES.

Mr.. Fl. s. Beers, of Iron works, is hav-
ing very fine barn built The building
is three stories high, is built of the finest
timber, and is being finished as neatly as
most dwelling houses are. Mr. Henry
Stevens is the boss carpenter, and is GER
tainly doing nice job. The foundation
was once ledge of rocks. Mr.. Peck
had it removed The dimensions of. the
barn are 28x36 feet
A gentleman with lady, strangers in
town, were driving on Monday on the
road from the Junction to the Centre,
ard stopped to give the horse water at
the trough at Aunt Sues brook. The
checkrein being too short to allow the
horse to drink with comfort, the gentle
man got out on the thills to uncheck him.
The horse seemed frightened and kicked,
throwing the man on pile of stones, in
juring his side SO that he was obliged to
be helped into the carriage by the lady.
They returned Immediately to Danbury.
We have not learned the result of the in
jury.

Very Good.

In former issue we gave an item
stating who it was that picked the first
peas out of his garden, June 18th Since
then we have been informed that Mr..
VIM. Blakslee had some of his own rails
ing earlier than that. Besides this,
Mr. Blakslee, who is over eighty
two years Of age, dug some new potatoes
on the 21st Of June, which was his birth
day, and eat them for dinner This is
certainly ahead Of anything previously
reported, and shows that though Mr.. B.
is an old man he is very active, and Can
do considerable work. He spsded up
bis own garden, and planted every thing
himself. Mr.. B. is in excellent health,
and we can but wish that he may live
many more years and enjoy the fruits of
an honorable old age.

Shameful.

Some one has been mean enough to
fire pistol balls, and stones, through
the stained windows of Trinity chapel,
in Sandy Hook, The windows cost
considerable money, and it is to be re-
GREETED that such acts of vandalism can
not be prevented.
This town needs good corps of Con.
stables, who will look after the interests
of the town. Mr.. John Blackman is the
only constable that we know of, who
can be called upon, to make arrests, and
he has the reputation of being good
officer. and has been doing considerable
work the past month. Ii there are other
sworn officers, we do not know the fact,
and cannot find out for certainty, who
they are. The next town election should
not pass without putting forward men to
perform constable duty. They may not
be needed; we hope they may not, yet
it will tend to restrain drunken men from
being noisy, insulting, and protect the
peace and quiet of the town. If this
town desires to retain its reputation.
and wishes to secure the patronage of
Summer visitors to our beautiful village
there is but one course 10 pursue. and
that is make it ''red hot" for the man
who swings the circle in our streets,
and with drunken oaths and threats ter
rifles peaceable visitors, as was the case
Monday night.
If on the other hand the town, by its
"masterly inactivity" does nothing,
what guarantee has the town to give
to those seeking quiet and rerose. and
how long will it take to blast every pros
pect that it commands, as a pleasant,
quiet retreat for Summer visitors. The
thing ought not to be left to the order
OF its being suppressed, but it should be
done at once.

Arrivals and Departures.


Miss Kate Shepard, who has been the
guest of Mr.. Henry Sanford for several
weeks, returned to her home in Brooklyn
on Monday last.
Mr.. John II. Fairchild and lady, of
Newark, N. ] arrived In town Monday,

York on Friday. and on Saturday started

of his arrival ia town, for his usual sum
mer vacation.
Miss Della Fitch, from New Haven,
is in town spending few weeks, at
Bellevue, 'the guest of Mr. D. G Beers.
Mr. Beers is certainly entitled TO this
name for his place, as he has one of the
finest views in town, as well as an ele-
giant situation for his house and sur
roundings,

Chess Players.

The question has been asked US "Are
there any chess players in town." OF
course, not being player of that pop
ular game, We answered that we did not
know. Sill we believe there are some
In town who can answer the question,
and would like to meet with good chess
player. Therefore, to those most inter
ested let them inform the public through
the columns of the BEE, where they may
be found, and by this means an interest
may be started for chess playing in our
midst.

Kicked and Injured.

A man named Martin McCarty was
knocked down. on Main street, Monday
night, near the Episcopal church, by a
man who was drunk, and kicked in the
face, cutting fearful cash which bled
profusely. DR.. w. G. Vile dressed the
wounded mans face, and pronounced
the injury quite serious.
This was a splendid scene, right in
the heart of Main street, and in full view
of our Hotels. Just how long this kind
of drunkenness will be allowed no one
can tell, and as we are not posted upon
town affairs we leave those that are to
answer the standing conundrum.

A Surprise Party.

On Wednesday evening of last week a
number of ladies and gentlemen visited
the residence of Mr.. James Wason, in
the Hook, and gave the family an old fash
Toned surprise. For those wishing to
trip the light fantastic" platform was
erected, running out from the barn floor,
upon which the dancers, accompanied
by the music Of the Newtown String
Band, Geo. B. Blakeslee, leader, Whiled
away the pleasant hours. A bountiful
supper was laid for the guests, and those
present express themselves freely as to
the splendid time they had, and are anx-
ious to participate in another.

Our Depot.

Every Saturday afternoon, upon the
arrival of the express train, 500, going
north, there may be witnessed a
very pleasant gathering in nice turn outs
to welcome visiting friends. The hotel
carriages of Dicks Hotel, and the Cen
trail House are generally filled with pas
sengers. Besides these there are many
private carriages, and for few minutes
our depot presents scene not unlike
that of the city. Governor Relstone is
also on hand. and his voice can be heard
occasionally ringing out, Carriage for

Village Improvement.

The Rev. N. P. Eggleston, formerly
of Stockbridge, in a paper on village i'm
provements. written for the New York
Tribune" thus describes the collateral
work and influence of the Laurel Hill
Association:
Next followed the planting of trees
by the roadside wherever trees were lack
ing. The children, sometimes disposed
in their thoughtlessress to treat hng
trees too rudely, were brought in as help
crs of the association, while, at the same
time, put under beneficial culture for
themselves. Any boy who would un-
undertake to watch and care for a par
ticular tree for two years was rewarded
by having the tree called by his name.
Other children were paid for all the
loose papers and other unsightiy things
which they wouly pick up and remove
from the street.
"Gradualy the work of the associa-
ton extended 1t soon took in hand
the streets in connection with the main
street. Year by year it pushed out walks
from the centre of the village toward
its outer borders. Year by year it extern
ded its line of trees in the same manner
and year by year there has been mark
ed improvement in the aspect of the
village. Little by little, and in many
nameless ways, the houses and barns,
the door yards and farms have come to
wear look of neatpess and intelligent,
tasteful care that makes the Stockbridge
of to-day quite different place from
the Stoc kbridge of twenty years ago.
Travellers passing through it are apt to
speak Of it with admiration as a finished
place; and, compared with most even OF
our New En- gland villages, it has such a
look but the Laurel Hill Association
does not consider its home finished, nor
its own work complet ed. Still the work
goes on. Committees are even now con-
ming plans for further improvement is.
By itself, or by suggestions and stimnla-
tons offered to Others, the association
is aiming at the culture of the village
people through other agencies than those
of outward and physical adjournment. 1t
fosters libraries, reading rooms and other
places of resort where innocent and
healthfnl games, music and conversation
will tend to promote the social feeling
and lessen vice by removing some of its
causes.
No one can drive through this beauti
full old place without realizing the effect
Of some influence different from that
which has usually been at work in coun-
try towns. One feels that it is a village
Of homes that the people who i've in
it love it, and that it has no public or
private interest so Insignificant as to be
neglected.

Post-omce Matters,

Some idea of the mail facilities that
Newtown enjoys can be illustrated by
the following incident. A postal card
left Bethel, Monday, at 1890 A. M, adj
dressed to the clerk in the post-offlce.
and ought to have reached him at 5.G5
p NJ. the same day, by way of Danbury,
and from thence down the Housatonic
road, but the postal did not reach New
