 LEcrUREs.-The Rev. Mr. Stone has closed his course of four lectures with us and.we think the united voice of the con- munity is. that we are under great obi gations to him for their entertaining and instructive lessons. He also repeated, by request, his lecture delivered Tn Litch- field, last fall, On the History of the early Church.. '
 DONATION The event of the week has or was to have been the donation at the Parsonage. 4 sudden tumble of the mercury and fierce shower of snow at sunset, prevented many from attending, but the house was we'll filled and the usual good time enjoyed. Music of the substantial and not of the operatic kind. was readily furnished by the young peo- pie, while the older ones betook them selves to conversation and congratula- tions. The occasion was enlivened by the humorous and apt stories of "the Deacon" while the quick wit and sharp rrpartee of many of the guests would made one think that there were some close but harmless hits. We are not aware of the amount realized, but presume 1t was none too large, - of one thing we think we are certain, and that is of the sincerity and good will of the donors. We presume that the good intentions of those who were prevented from attending have been or will,be carried out, as greenbacks do not easily get out of date, and farmers produce, toa certain amount, we pre- sume. is very handy to have in the minis ter's house. Happily for this small socie- ty there are no parties or divisions but one and all delight to testify to the long continued and faithful services of a wor. thy pastor, q

 An luIuHI Cuttu ok GkcucAlCA dEu lees dled last week.
 Tt is thought your corresponpent should have particularized more in re- gard to our centennial gathering. If not too late will add few items:
 There were parts of loom once owned and used by the first white woman born in Warren, and Dsa. Hopkins has an iron pipe and small tougs for lighting the same. that he has seen the same person use in her old age. There was milk cup 200 years old; 8 teapot 40 years old; a teacup and saucer belonging to set used on the table when General Washington was the guest ofCol. Averill; and plate with the original thirteen stat-s stamped on it in ornamental work, which is supposed vas made 100 years ago. The date at- tached to the old clock told when it's ser. vices commenced in the family and not its age. or that of the house. which is much older. Perhaps the best thing was an old tina party hetcheling, tying up. and spinning flax all sea ed working, chatting. singing aa old-time song, dressed in old style in quaint caps. blue checked aprons, linen frocks etc. The old Cplonel in the midst. with his cooked hat and grey locks, evidently accustomed to drop in and relate some story. and take his share of a pitcher of cider when it was done. When the curtain was raised on the ! second scene, the work was all put away. They were all dancing to 2 merry tune around the room, hold of hands in what particular style wheather jig, German or schottiseh. we know not: but the per. formance certainly brought down the house. or rather up;for there was a gen. eral uprising even to mounting chairs. and sofas, with deafning shouts and cheers. We believe the thing IS to be repeated 1 at the entertainment Friday evening

From the preparation that is going on we can expect something nice.
 The young folks are having fine tim-s coasting, these moonlight nights. judging from the number that nightly congregats on the hills.
 On Thursday evening, the 18th an- niversary of the birth of Robert Burns was celebrated by the sons and daughters of Scotland living among us. G ,.# BRIDGEPORT, Jan. 27, 1877.
 MR. EDIToR.-I am happy to be able to commence this communication with a piece of good news. Wheeler &. Wilson have started up work at their factory and thus given employment to about thous. and men.
 The sleighing has been splendid, and coasting has been indulged in by the younger portion of the community, and l some not so young, at the risk of life and limb, but the authorities have now put a stop to it.
 l understand that the Wheeler < Will son band have resigned their position as regimental band of the 4th regiment and say they will not belong to any regiment 1 under the existing rules. We. have been having very pleasant weather lately and to-day it has been so warm that the snow and ice have very rapidly disappeared. 4 few more such days would greatly improve the walking l For the past few days there has been . mesmerizer here whose power over hls sub- jects is said to be very great. and whose entertainments are very amusing.

from England as many Southern, Sta es suffered from their carpet bag govern ments. Calf, r lia was better governed state than Louisiana now is, when she rose in righteous revolution against her tor nentors,<a quarter of century since.
 What redress then has & State in our Union when misgoverned as South Caro- lima was from 1868 to 1874, and as Louis ana has been from 1868 to the present day? Is it the constitutional duty of Con- gress and of the President to sustain local governments like that of Kellogg against all the honesty and intelligence of state2 We maintain that the carpet bag governments are the creatures of Congress and that the blame of their fail ure must rest on their creator Repeat edly have the taxpayers of South Carolina asked Congress for military government in place of its tyranny of ignorance and rascality. President Grant besought Con. gress to act in the Louisiana matter; yet Congress after Congress, with large Re publican majorities. shirked their plain iuty in regard to the misgoverned South ern States.
 People wonder that an organization with the grand recod of the Republican party--with more than it's share or the intelligence, the property and the hones- ty ot the North-should be on the verge of ruin, as it has seemed to be, for two years past The simple truth. is that the R publican party has not been strong enough to disregard the golden rule. For eight years it has shut it's eyes to the
 ascallties of its Southern wing; but while the Republican party has slept, the na- tion has been waking up. Now, the re- source of territorial or of military goven- ment for the disputed states" is no lon- ger open to us. Negro legislatures and governors have become odious to the nation at large. The government of the Southern states is remand-d to their white population, and the sooner the Republican party recognizes that fact, and learns to fight the Democracy 1t other and more vulnerable points, the sooner will it regain the public favor it has so largely lost.
