Editor cf the Bee:
 DEAR SIR:-I suppose it is unnecessa- ry for me to write communication in regard to the Central House, as undoubt edly some one more talented than myself Las given you all the points; but you will please allow me space enough to bring more fully to your notice the most prominent and notable personages pres ent. It was not generally known the first part of the evening that these dis tinguished individuals would be pIesent, or that more than an ordinary hop would be expected, consequently there was con siderable delay in the arrival of the in yited guests, but as it became whispered about that these gentlemen woul1 attend, without delay the Hall was filled with one of the most select and fashionable companies ever assembled at the Central House.
 Both of these gentlemen have, in their lives, figured conspicuous part in Wall
 
 street. One of them at one time was tenor to the street, and his presence on the street would either advance or lower the price of stocks, according 10 the pe- culiar condition of the market, or wheth- CT he was walking up or down Wall St, as the case might be, stocks would fuc- tuate. At one time he owned control ing interest in Panama--at last it con trolled his interests; but he managed to ''weed' himself out at very fortunate period ip the history of the stock. The other gentleman has broken up several large rings" in the street, in his day, but of late has been an important ''bear" in Delaware, Lackawanna and Western stock i; the continued obstinacy of the stock to advance is due now to the large ''blocks" of stock put out by this gentleman. His intentions now are ut proper time to withdraw his inter ests from the street, and give it up for ever.

A gentleman. living near Taunton pond, visised Danbury last week, and drove hls horse and wagon under one of Che sheda As he entered he discovered that horse belonging to some one had broken the harness, and tore shoe of of one of his feet Seeing how things stood, our bachelor friend rlghted mat ters the best he could and wrote . note and fastened 1t upon the harness, OK. plaInIng who 1t was that had done the good deed. He did this fearing that some poor, unprotected female might be the owner, "a maiden whose sands of life had nigh run out" who seeing the condition of things might think that come one had maliciously destroyed the harness Hence his forethoughl In this matter. He does not know for certain that 1t was a lady for whom he did this Kindness but he hopes 1t Is.

Gen Jackson. ss be. ing the stays ef ns saeaiag The other gentlemen present are dlspleased with this compliment, and VOW it was given either for old friendships sake, or else for remuneration. These gentlemen are guests of the Central House, and one of them remains there all the time, and Is really the life Of the House If there Is any fun going on he Is in for IL. This gentleman has been rendered during his lie several high political positions, but he has always peremptorily declined, not however without requesting bis friends 10 accept of his generous hospitality due in honor of the occasion. But We un- derstand from good authority that be is getting tired of civil life, and that the gentleman from Washington referred to above will in the course of month re- turn to Washington, and have confer ence with the President in relation to having the gentleman appointed Resident American Minister to Liberia.
 Gen. Jackson has gre. influence at the White Honse, and will undoubtedly be successful in his mission, if so, and the gentleman accepts, we shall regret to lose his good company and pleasant lace from among US. SOLITAIRE.

The methodist church society show more public spirit than all ot the other three churches in town. For more than a year past they have been gathering funds, to improve their heritage. They have repaired, improved, altered and en- larged their church euitce, and the pub lie have the benefit of 1t. This refer ence to church improvements calls to our mind the fact that the lightning rod op the South Congregational church is in need of repairing; in it's present con. dilion it is of no use save to show negli- gence.

An amusing incident occurred Friday afternoon, in the vicinity of the Middle Quarter school house, which forcibly il- frustrated the pluck of woman when aroused. Two ladies were in carriage, going into Woodbury street, and as they were in the neighborhood of the school house the horse which they were driving discovered barrel, set over bar-posl, and refused to go by. This incensed one of the ladies, who got out of the carriage seized the barrel and with but little ap- parent effort hurled it way off into the lot It would not have been healthy for the man to have been around, that placed the barrel on that post. He would have found it difficult to part hair in the mid dle, last Sunday. A gentleman who witnessed this burst of indignation said that it made him feel the force of wom ans spunk, and as he is a married man he must have shook some.
