 That startling highway robbery turns out to bea very small affair, after all.

Lake has left town, and, VIC understand, will not appear against tho prisoners.

Contcmptibly Mean.

A correspondent of this paper, rcsid- ing in Taunton, sent Us q communities tion llst week which contained mali CiOuS islander against two prominent town officers. We have been assured by worthy gentlemen that the statement in the BEE has not particle of truth in it, and that nothing of the kind occurred during the official visit of these gentle mon. Wo have, since tho publication of the letter, learned that the offensive item came from q correspondent who had a spite against these gentlemen, and who took this means to do them an injury.
 For ourselves an explanation is ncces- sary, because some will think that VIC were cognizant of the contents of the letter, and published it knowingly. Such was not tho case; and as we had received other communications from the same writer that were in every case DOT fectly free from objectionable matter we, in tie hurry of our last issue pre- sumcd that this letter contained perfect ly proper matter, and did not read it, and had no knowledge that anything of the kind was in it until it was read to us. We have repeatedly urged upon corro8- pondonts not to send items renecting upon any one; and we again repeat that we do not want such matter, and will not under any circumstances publish it knowingly.

Last week was crowded with public entertainments. A very eloquent, per suasivc and instructive address on the subject of temperance was delivered by Rev. MT. Bcckwith of Waterbury. At the North church, on Tuesday evening"
 Mr. Marshall delivered an eloquent loc- turc on the great national park and pleasure ground, the Yellowstone Park, q national reservation, about thrco-tifth5 as large as the state of Massachusetts. He exhibited his illustrations by means Of the calcium light, and they were very fine. \ largo and intelligent audience were delighted during the entirc. even ing. On Friday night William Knapp, Esq. an attorney of New Milford, lee turcd at the South church on temper anco. It was an effort croditablc to lis head and heart. He reasoned with his hearers, using no harsh words, or criti- ciSms on any. This seems to us the truC way to advance the cause. No one wishes to be criticized, or abused, how ever faulty he may be. Saturday evcn- ing there was another temperance meet ing, at tho Methodist church, and q number assumed the "bluc ribbon" With prudent effort, the good work will go on.

As they are at large on one hundred dollar bonds each, the proceed ing amounts. to the same thing as though they were under bonds to keep the peace IL is hoped that this will Dc a warning not only to them, but to others disposed to offend in like manner.

Bethel.

The improvements made by T.W. Fox & Bro. since the 1st of April in their two houses situated in Fishers block, is one of the evidences of the public spirit of these cnterprising and popular gentle mon. The whole of the upper part of the house has been put into first-class order, and made convenient for the accommodation of their increasing usi- ness.
 Bethel has now two hotels and we hope that Fox Bros. will soon reap rich return fer the outlay. Their hotel has been newly furnished with black walnut furniture, and brussels carpet. The parlor furniture is of black walnut, covered with brown rep. The dining room chairs are made with perforated board seats, and are not only elegant, but useful and durable. Space alone forbids entering into a detailed account of all that has been done to enlarge this hotel. Those who are acquainted with it will understand Us when we say that the new rart fitted up is an exact duplicate of the one which they have so long successfully conducted. They expect to accommo- date not only pt rmanent boarlcrs and the traveling public, but will have increased facilities for accommodating visitors to parties and balls, when given in Fishers hall They also expect to be ready for the visitors to the Grassy Plain ball, to be given this week Friday night.
 Mr. Frank [. Cole has bought of Mir F. T. Haldin, of Daabury, the house oc- cupied by Mrs Wiley, on the corner of Chestnut and Elm streets, and will take possession next April.
 There was an enthusiastic temperance meeting held in the M E. Church, Mon- day evening. and a very interesting address made. Several new names were added to the temperance pledge. One of BethcI's talented sons came out and

At the stores where stopped to look nt goods the Japs would bow almost to the floor, and would manage to convey n few ideas by pantOmimc, and after I had wandered about ull day among immense crowds of inbbcring Japs, came to the conclusion that I never wls 50 utterly lonesome in my life. Sinco then havc lrarnod several Japanese expressions and feel quite at home among them Have also got acquainted with somc of the few European residents at Toiio. The houses in Tokio are mostly of one and two stories. 4 fire this week burned 2, 7OO houses, or about omc-ffticth part of the city, which i5 $ miles square, The city contains many costly temples and fine gardens and very much clsc of interest to q foreigner. 1 was at ono Cf tho theatres in company with friend, and VIC had to sit on mats on the floor, like Turks. We were, however, shown every attention, and were allowed to go behind the scenes. They have flower fairs on some of the principal streets every pleasant evening, making quite tlno display. The country is delightful. The Japs are far ahead of the Americans In the science of farming. and the coun- try between TOklo and Yokohama Is perfect garden. Plum and cherry troes and variety of flowers are now in bloom. Oranges cost but , conts is dozen are secllcss and of very fine flavor Of course am busy looking up the Jap uiIcsc curio business and getting posted in regard 10 prices and quality. en- close couple ofJapancsc paper napkins, so thin as to be quite impcrceptiblc in some instances. They are all very polite and good natured, and allow Europeans to go into their stores, examine and paw | over their goods without any ceremony. Next week l go to Kioto, stopping at the fair thoro few days; thence to Kobe, , Nagasakl and Shanghai, and return hero about May 18th.

 DEAR SIR.-Thursday last Was Sacra- mental Fast Day ill Glasgow. There were great many cheap excursions It is estimated that 60,000 persons left Glasgow by boat and rail. Mr. N and I went down to Dundee to sec the wonderful new Fay bridge. It is about 75 miles from Glasgow. Twenty miles, from Perth to Dundee, is mostly by the side of the river Fay, celebrated for it's , salmon lis hing. From il ra;n VIC could sec them hauling in their scincs. It rafned just enough to lay the dust. The bridge is not open for traffic until the 1st of May. It is q very long, handsome, iron archcd bridge We walked under the first arch. Wcgot there about twelve, had six hoUfS thcre-ticketS for trip, five shillings. Dundee is nicely situated on the Tay, which is quite wide there, like. q bay The town is old, streets crooked and narrow; they are making improvements. pulling down old build ings and putting up new ones. There are four very fine basin docks, covering thirty-iive acres; handsome arch at the docks, built at the time of the visit of Victoria and Albert, in 1S44; Il nice park, given by man named Baxter; a library and museum. There are num- Der of large linon and jute mills; there we visited one of them. At the hotel we had miserable dinner. When we came back the hills were covered with snow. Yesterday 1 went to Hamilton. A new road was opened there last Monday. I saw the palace of the Duke of Hamilton i; but the grounds are only open to the public Tuesdays and Fridays. This morning we attended the free Wcllpark Church. Mr. Thorntt n, the pastor, is from Canada. I like him very mnch.- Monday go to Perth to start motor at an exhibition there; shall probably be gone two days. Tomorrow Mir. and Mrs. R. of .Norwalk, go to Belfast; from there to Port Rush, Giants Cause way, and Londonderry. They start soon for home. Now, must say good night.
