The entertainments given by the re- nowned "Guy Family'in Gibbs Hall, on the 23d and 24th evenings of last month. seemed to give general satisfaction.
 The heavy fall of rain that commenced on Monday of last week, continued till Wednesday evening when it began to snow, and blow and young winter en- sued. Snow was driftd several feet deep in the highway particularly on the noun tains, so the travelling is bad yet, on account of the drifts. The mercury on Thursday and Friday stood at 27 o-not much the appearance of Spring. Those having cisterns sufficiently large will not be crying for "six wakes in :he lang moonth of August.

The event of last week was the be- ginning of the great road case-a peti- tien for new highway from the foot of the lake up the Sucker Brook. crossing the County road just above the house of Mrs. Carpenter and thence to the Treat X Whittlesey rake shop on the road from the Center to the East Side. Trial com menced on Monday before Messrs. Booth, Merwin and Bristol of New Milford, com mittee of the Superior Court. Owing to the difficulty of securing. attendance of witnesses and the evident impossibility of finishing the trial before the sessron of the Superior Court, postponement of the trial was granted on motion of the pe- titioners; Hickox, for petitioners; Andrews for town.
 Mir. Judson Baldwin has bought the Charles Munger place of Dr. Munson.
 -Messrs. Edwin Clark of Morris Gen. ter, and RollIn Kilborn of East Side, have exchanged places: the former paying "boot."
 The rains of last week did considera- ble damage to roads and have made a good deal of work for contractors and others having charge of the highways. Part of these are repaired by contract; part by labor hired by the selectmen.
 There were the usual services on Fast Day, with an excellent sermon by Mir. Leonard. During the intermission, officers of the Sabbath School were cho- sen for the ensuing yesr: Henry Stock bridge.
