Governor Redstone has bought for his wagon large gilt umbrella, which he hoisis for the accommodation of the tra- yelling public on stormy dsys. It is of the stssi improved pattern. and the only drawback to the governors happiness. that we can see. is the labor and exer- ton necessary upon his part when he folds the umbrella, which for length of staff is only excelled by the liberty pole in Eewtown street. Shining the staff to fold the umbrella is rather difficult task.

A HOUSE ENTERED ON MILE HILL.

One night last week, some one entered the residence of z $. Peck, our post, master by turning the key of the door, which was found open,a and as Mrs. Peck was positive that she securely locked the door before retiring, they were in doubt as to whether il was the result of acci, dent or design that the door was opened until Mr. Peck arose. and desired to dress himself, when 1t was discovered that his pants and vest were not where he had placed them A search for th'' lnissiug articles WAS instituted immedi- ately, and they were found in the yard, where they had been left by some one. There WAS nothing else taken or dls- turbed
 MT. Peck and family were fortunate in not being further harmed by the visit of these thieves. This escape should be warning to all our citizens to not only lock every dooi, but that they should put strong OOlls on them.
 Now is the time to secure your win dows and doors against proving tramps and thieves. The unprecedentedly fa- vorable weather has delayed the appear ance of the tramp to some extent, in many of the country towns, but just as soon as the cold weather sets in, New town and vicinity will have an army of them to feed and provide for Our sym pathies are W ilh the poor and unfortu. nate people who are deserving of help but for every simple deserving one there are ninety and nine that are nothing else but dead beats, too lazy to work, and to impudent to be tolerated outside of jail.

TIE NEwTowN WATER. WORKS

Las, Saturday night. at the boar ap- pointed, s number of gentlemen assem- bled In santord's Hall, to hear ,ke re- DOT, of the committee. who had, In the past week, circulated the subscription list.
 Upon the motion Of Mir. Marcus c. Hswlsy Mir E. L. Johnsen was elected chairman. Mnjor 0. T. Greene as secre- iary WAS again elected. Mir Johnson called Inc meeting 10 order. Mr. Wm. J. Dick, chairman of the committee, then gave his report. which showed that only s4.O60 had been raised up 10 that time, and that some Of those whom he had talked with and were fayorabIy In. clined few days ago had since changed their minds.
 Mr. HAwley stated that his offer was made In good faith, and that he regret ted that all the money had not been sub scribed, and unless 1t was forthcoming within the time he had named, he would certainly withdraw the proposition.
 Several spoke upon the subject among them was the chairman, Mir. Johnson, who spoke of what be himself had ac- complshed by an outlay of $500 in sup plying his house with water, and that he would not now be without il for $2, 1000.
 Mir. Wm. J. Dick said his hotel was well supplied with water, and that many of his rooms were supplied with hot and cold water, but he still desired to see the water brought into the Street.
 Mir. L. B. Booth said that ha believed that it would be public benefit and had subscribed for the stock, not because he actually needed the water, ss he was pro. yided with it. and protection against fire at his store, but for the reason that it would be public good.
 Father McCartan spoke of his willing ness 10 do all he could in patronizing the enterprise if 1t was established, but could not take the stock.
 MT. Arthur Day, and Wm. Botsford. Esq, made remarks also, all of which were interesting, and exhibited an inter- est in the matter that we take as favora- ble to the plan, though for the present silenced by the turn of events
 As the hour began to draw near for adjournment, and no further response was made, Mir. Hawlew withdrew his proposition.
 A vote of thanks was extended to Mir Dick, who had worked faithfully and a, some expense to himself in order to ac- complish the object. A vote of thanks was also extended to the editor of THE NEwTowN BEE. after which the meet ing adjourned.
 Mir. Henry Sanford gavs on this, as he did on former occasion, the use Of his hall, free of charge. for which the friends of improvement are very thank ful.
 Before closing We wish to add that in our judgment the water question is one of Too much importance to the village to be lightly overlooked, and we hope that second sober thought will yet be pro ductive of good, and that the question will be again considered.
