The social event of tbe week was the house warming at Rev. Henry Upsons, last Friday night. In the selection of that evening, the nail was hit squarely on the head for fair Lu- na never shone brighter, and it was neither too cold or too hot. Nearly if not quite three hun dred persons were present, and among them we noticed familiar countenances from New Milford and Washington. After supper the hum and buzz of conversation all through the spacious rooms were silenced by the announce ment that there would be a little speechifying Rev. MT. Harrison, of Milton, was the first called upon He made some happy hits. Then Rev. Mir. Lancashire made some excellent re- marks. When Esquire Whittlesey of Wash ington was called upon, he said he knew he should be askedto speak, and so he had come fully prepared in the shape of couple of smaU boys (meaning Dr. Brown and F.. W. Gunn) whom he had brought with him from Wash ington MT. Gum was thereupon called, and taking the platform made some remarks, fol- lowed by Rev. Mr. Thrall, who was followed by Col. Blinn and A. s, Rogers of New Mill ford, and the host. Dr. Brown couldn't be found when wanted, but he may rest assured that another time all avenues of escape will be closed, and he soW have to speak.
 The exercises were varied by dancing, vocal and dsinstrumental music, many different persons presiding at the piano. At late hour the company dispersed, all wishing, with the speak CTS of the evening Mir, & Mrs. Epson long, happy and prosperous life.
