IN. ..alorious Fourth" was suffered to
20 by default at this place, unless the max
ing of the preceding night hideous, can be
called a suitable recognition.
The average boy of the period, as was to
be expected, set at defiance the very best
calculations the most aslute had made for
a nights repose, by next to uninterrupted
discharges Of a diminutive piece Of ordi-
nance. OF course each discharge was ac-
companied with the Indispensable yell, and
melodious cat calls
Some sort of celebrations were held at
Plymouth, Chester, Springfield, aud Wes-
ton, and it is presumed this place furnished
its quota at sight for each more psrticu
larly Weston, where it is understood was
held one of the ancient and honorable Gel
ebrations, of the seventeen hundred and
seventy's pattern. +. W. Smith, the long
| time station agent at this place, is having a
somewhat prolonged vacation. His i'm
pared health seeming to require ii. At
present he and his daughter Hattie NJ, are
rusticating at the sea shore. During his alb
sence r. B. White one of the special
| agents in the employ of the railroad COM
pany fills his place. Mr.. w. is eminently
qualified for the position, having heretofore
taken charge Of a number of stations in the
absence of the regular agents, as his servi-
| ces have been needed. Being an excellant
| telegraphic operator, (resding altogether
by sound Che fills the bill of specifications
in every particular.
The annual and inevitable 'haying time"
having again brought round, the click Of
the moving machine and the ring of the
scythe, are distinctly heard in the land.
The crop of grass is good hereabouts bet
ter we are quite sure, than it has been for
quite a number of seasons past.
The potato bug is with us, but from all
we can learn, mol as yet inclined to do but
little damage. One would almost con-
clnde from its actions, that the whole crew
were demurely studying how to circumvent
the application of pest poison and Paris
green.
The little daughter of John Koran, who
had a surgical operation performed on her
"wry neck" a few days since, is doug re-
markedly well in fact, is up and about the
house. Although only eight years of age,
she was very anxious to have the operation
performed, having been mortified when at
school, by being called ''little crook neck"
by her unthinking mates. She told them
before having the operation performed,
that they have called her nick names for
the last time, as when she again came to
school, she should have as straight a neck
as any of them, which is very likely to be
the case.
One of the wallets taken here at the time
of O'Brien's show by pickpockets, was
found a few days since in a pasture some
twenty to twenty-five rods from the place
taken. To settle the question of the thieves
utter and entire depravity, a note of one
hundred dollars which was in the wallet al
the time 1t was taken, and entirely worth
less to any one except its owner, was found
torn up aud the pieces scattered on the
ground, near where the wallet was found,
Everything else had been taken.
j. N. Wadleigh, who lost clothing and some
other property from his dwelling the day
the circus was here, has as yet obtained nc
satisfactory clue to either the thief or the
whereabouts Of the property. There are
some circumstances which seem to poinl
20 a wandering, vagabond phrenologlst as
the probable thief, who was lowering abouI
the place at the time, and who left immedi
ately afterwards.
