SOufhbury.

Our portion of the town is so duiet there is not much life or action in any branch of business. Our street at times seems almos; like the Deserted Vii hge." And yet there is one kind of business that IS always brisk k--gossiping. How in the world one can find SD much tu talk about where there are so few people is mystery. But Madam Rumor is seldom asleep: she is quite busy now with the news that comes from the Oth- CT side, under the name of Chronicles. She has feasled on them for a week, and will in all probability so continue unlIl something else happens to give her a fresh start
 White Oak appears u be the most en terprisiug portion of our town. A few people lheIe organized Lyceum two or three years aga, and it was predicted that it would be of short duration, but it seems to thrive with wonderful success. It is devoted to debates, readings, decla- nations, recitations--in fact everything of a literary nature. It should be sus- taiBed by every good citizen of the town, and ye:, strange to say, 'here are some who denounce it as immoral, and have tried to break it down. Madam Rumor hes been quite busy in the work ever since it was established. IL is announced that the following question is adopted for this weeks discusslon: Which is the most useful member of society--the minister. doctor, teacher, lawyer, farm .er, mechanic, or the rumseler :" It is lnf ,I. Ior io Inf in ht4 cold for want of an advocate to plead his Cause. Will not our neighboring town come to bis rescue9 It seems pity that so prominent part should fall behind ,dH the rest.

HaWleyville.

Mir. R. Nichols Hawley, of Hawley- vile, and his son, have repaired the washouts of the Boston 6 Erie railroad bed, making good driveway from the depot to the Newtown turnpike, and shortening the distance to Eewtown about half mile. The public will high ly appreciate this improvement, espec- ially those who travel the road.
 Mir. Booth Hawley has had severe attack of fever, and, like many others in Hawleyvilie, con lrseted it when i'm proyements were the order of the day. He has had James Vadenburg & Co. At work putting on new roof, and they worked OF last Friday, when it was pretty cold weather. Mr Hawley likes 10 see things comfortable, and in good shape. There has been an unusual num- Der of improvements in Hawleyyille, and we are pleased to note them. flaw .leyyille will, in the course of time, be come place where much business will be done.
 The cider mills have closed for the season. There has been shipped from the Sbepaug depot, 900 bushels of nuts. ,33O barrels of apples, and still there is ..more to follow" There have been ship ,ments from the Housatonic depot, but to what amount we cannot now state.
 Mir Starr Blackman has been very low for several days past Dr. Williams and pr. Benedict operated upon him Tuesday, Nov 27th, and removed 70 pounds of water.

 DEAR srR:--0nr forefathers dndsr- stood what they were doing when they named this locality Great HIll, for in ey- cry sense of the word the hill Is great We wish, thls hour, we had Telephone by our side, that we mi ght speak unto All of your high places, especially unto Nil. Nebo. Shiloh, and Mi. Pisgah 10 come up higher, even across Mt, Pleas ant toward tbe land of Bethel unto Great ilill, and enjoy this grand, surpasslng view. Broad lswns of rich pastdre and meadow, beneath our feet stretch out ard away from us on every side. With enraptured gaze we look above, around We turn our faces northward. The bright, silver, mirror surfaced lake glmmering below us, walled with it's hills of gentle beauty attracts our eyes, and seems more enchanting than the richest dream. The gradual, ascending slope, brings Mt, Pleasant full 10 our view.
 Onward the landscape. grand In beau. ty, and ornnmenled here and there, eve rywhere, with cheerfnl.lorking homes. forms a beautiful picture in lhe grand panorama
 Wo mark next the course of our own noble Housalonic. ss il pursues its beau | liful way from the mountains above, downward toward the sea. Beyond. the prospect widens far out over the hills and plains of adjoining counties, until. verify, is brought 10 enr view, the tops of the bills that are in Canaan.
 The near prospect east md sonhwnrd embraces Newtown, which is certainly one of tho largest and finest townships in the State.
 We behold the hills that crown Mt. Pisgah's heights, and know that Jerusa- len of old is there, hidden behind the strong walls of her mountains. The fields of Shiloh stand out in bold relief, Mt. Nebo, too, and the Holy Land. The distant horizon only bounds our view, far away in the vicinity of the river, which bears the name of our own fair land of steady habits"
 At the south lies New England's Adri- stic sea, decked with sloops sailing like white swans over her glassy surface, and beyond Long Islands hoary shores.
 Turning westerly, our eyes rest on the enterprising town of Bethel, nestled among her native hills. adorned with her handsome streets, public buildings and manufactories, also her houses of God" with their white, heavenward-pointed spires,
 And q little farther is Dlnbury, con tinually growing in her greatness, and with one little act of incorporation might take her place among the famous cities of our state.
 Again the view extends into increasing distance,
 "Ever changing, ever new,
 When will the landscape tire the view"
 The broad country over which we now gaze, reaches over our own lines, even beyond the borders of the Empire state
 Amidst this enhancing scel cry, be- meath the broad arched canopy of heaven our vision bounded only by the far dis tant horizon on every side, the voices of the sky and he earth are heard, speak ing as of old. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the Armament sheweth His handiwork"
 Truly, we think Great Hill, with Mt Pleasant, have superior claims to stand first among the high places"

Perhaps most of your read CTS are acquainted with the general us- pect of this village. q wonder, by the way if "ElsterIy has ever let the light of his or her benign cOuntenance shine upon this litllc net in the valley ?

 This has been the most beautiful day with which we have been favored for some weeks its brightness undlmmed were it not for "lhe shadows on lht roof" the dread presence of Azrel h oul midst. Even while we write, we art waiting to hear the words that shall tell us that another last goodbye has beeI spoken, that the soul of dear school mate, who, for hours, has been lingering with her feet already in the cold flood

South Britain.

As your new correspondent from this place has given you so true and faithful a representation of Trumans troubles and how they ended it is needless to say more about them; but perhaps it would not be out of place to say that the newly married couple are enjoying the honey moon hugely at Mutton hill, the home of Truman.
 The principal theme of conversation on the streets and in the stores now is the discovery of an internal machine by Bennett F. Stiles Esq. IL seems there is a disputed boundary line between the lands of B. F. Stiles Esq. and M. M. Garfield Esq. They both own so much land that they could not ride over it in a day with 6 good horse, but they find time to fight over some IS inches UT two feet of land The fence has been pulled down by one party and put up by tbe other time and again, and once, am in formed, the fence was all taken away, but it got back in some mysterious man ner Last week Bennett was warned by friend to be careful around that fence, else he might get hurt He at once took the friend with him and went on a tour of discovery, and they found first piece of fuse, then on close observation they found charge of rend-r0ck powder un- der one corner of the fence, and the fuse in place, all ready to touch off It is impossible to describe Bennett's looks. He says he is goiug to know who fixed that machine to blow him to Kingdom come, and when he does know for sure he will give them the full extent of the law
