We learn that there was some very 6ns singing by the choir of Trinity church, Sunday evening, Miss Belle II. Hall, of Bridgeport, was present, and sang with noticeable effect. This young lady is said to be an excellent singer, and accomplished pianist, and Is still dili- gently pursuing her studies.
 We visited the residence of Mir. Asa Hawley, of Hswleyville, . few days since, and were shown the many im. provements that he had made, all of which are nice, and convenient The most noticeable feature is rhe painting and grsining, done by Messrs. Smith & Perkins, which is certainly frst-class, and deserves honorable mention. MT. Hawley has sn excellent Quince orchard, and will ere long have not less than ten thousand trees under cultivation. His vineyard is of huge dimensions, and yield fine lot of grapes.
 MT. Frank T. Botsford and sister visi. ted Brookfeld, one day last week, and were reported in the Danbury Neus, thus: Frank T. 2otsford, of Topeka, Kansas, and wife, are visiting his father in Newtown. Sunday they were the guests of Mir. Horace Beers" When Frank returned home, everybody was lowing and scraping to him, and wish. ing him joy, etc. Frank smiled his thanks, submitted to the hand-shaking and other tokens of pleasant remarks of kindness. but failed to comprehend the cause of so much of good thing, and when he inquired they referred hlm tc the Danbury Nems. So to the Neas he went, and saw the joke. A friend oi Franks wanted to know what his gir out wesi would say to the News article. He could not tell which would say tht most, one, two, or three, oh, Frank.
 MT. Chas. Beers repaired the road lead ing to Mile Hill last week. We wert pleased to see, that instead of blowing ur the gutters, and throwing the fine dirt on to the road, to be washed out by the first rain, he took new dirt and made { substantial road. If all our road-makers would follow Col. Warnings suggestions in his Handbook of Husbandry" w should have better roads.

The travelling photograph gallery still adorns the South Woodbury band stand, and the bill-posters find it very convent ent for posting bills, as it can be ap- preached on all sides, like whipping post, and furnishes the most conspicuous place in town for this purpose. The owner is quite content, knowing, as he says. the mean fellows who put it there, and believing that he will in due time be able to inaict on them weli-merited pun ishment. The truth is that they have had little previovs practice in disrepu- table dOings.

THE WAY 10 woo.
Don't bo In too s~st q hurry,

Don't be In too great hurry, Hurres never payi Take your time--a wary general Always feels his way. Do not pull your line too quick Rather-give it play. Take her sometimes to concert, Sometimes to ball; Sometimes spend pleasant evening, Sometimes, only call. Sometimes 'twould be far tho wisest Not to go at all. Do not meet your would-be rivals With Jealous irown, Show her that you don't care two-pence For any man in town. Praise her other beaux then surely She will run them down. Send her presents--not too costly, Trifes light as air; Dainty fruits to please her palate, Flowers for her hair. Something that will show you chose It. Fairest for the fair. vex her sometimes constant sunshine Is 80 very tame; Just little dash of water Brightens up flame. Love that doesn't Azz and sputter Isn't worth the name. Then at last, some quiet evening. tMoonlight nights are stalel, Dlop into her quiet parlor Looking rather pale. Strive to hide your woes unuttered- But be sure to fail. Darkly hint distant journey Asa secret half confessed, Darkly speaK of hidden sorrow That forbids your rest. Tell her that 'tis hard to leave her, But perhaps 'tis best. Then, if she should blush and tremble With shy surprise, fthere is no royuish sparkle TwinKling in her eyes, Then-then tell her the old, old story Told first heath Eden's skies.
