 The roads around this yillage-and especially Main street and the one lead ing from Newtown down t0 Sandy Hook --are ln n bud condition. Tho rains have washed the dirt from the stones, and the road-bed Is full of cobble stones that ought to be gotten out of the way. One good, thorough overhauling would be the cheapest way 10 work tho roads, It would cost more, 1t Is true, nt the commencement but, if properly done, the roads would last much better.

WOOdbury.
NUMBER FIFTY-THREE,

Frederick A. Warner, Esq, has bro- ken ground for his new house, and ex- poets to move into it "before the snow flies" The only doubt that a1ilicts the mind of the writer is that Albert Drake ley Hurd informed him last week that he had the contract for drawing the stone necessary for the cellar wall. AL bert is so proverbially s,Dif in all his la- bors that the work may be finished in good time, and then again it may not. Mr. W. has fine location, and will have 8 fine house, judging from the plan.
 The cold and hot waves succeed each other in delightful rapidity. You scarce ly can utter the word hot before you must pronounce the work cool and uice gersd. E-

 A. c. Peck, dentist, has commenced operations on his newly purchased building-lot by tearing down section of the front wall, and setting up a board or two at the east end of his lot.
 Barber No. has arrived in town, and located himself in Bearlsley's block. No one need miss "shaSe, cut, or shampoo" Who can deny that Wood bury will soon become seaport town? For two hundred years the old town got along without barber, and now Down Town" boasts two good ones.-By the Woodbury Reporter we learn that thero Is 'sbrisk steamer" plying on the boisterous waves of the roaring Pomperaug. But this will be- come a trivial circumstance compared to the ocean steamers which will soon crowd our docks and wharves.
 Look out for your clothes lines: they are dangerous lightning con luctors. Two elm trees standing near 4. NJ.

These lines conducted the fluid 10 the house, and severely shocked members of the family, but did no other damage.

Paying Church Destin Ten Minutes.

A service was held ln the Congrega- tinnal church lust Sabbath morning which deserves special notice from lis unusual character and the closing scene. The pastor, Rev. J, ?, Eost. announced as his text, Luke, lY, iG," and stated in hls introductory remarks that 1t was the annlvermryo of hls birth. of his grad. talion nj college, Of his ordination and installation, ndof hls mothers death. Ilethcn proceeded to speak upon Chhst's nome at Nazareth, md also upon the home nnd home-lre in general and its connection wlth the church and church work. At tho close of tho discourse he expressed wish to render the day still more memorable to him by the payment of the church dcbt, Two letters which he held in his hand--written by former residents of this town, Miss Sarah Blackmau and Mrs. J. R. Dotsford who, from love 10 tho old home and chtrch, bad generously contributed toward pay ing the dcbt of the soeiety-werc read. A call was made for additional subscrT- lions, and in fen minutes ihe phole amount of the indebtedness w,ls raised.
 We have learned since writing the above that there have gone forth from this society one governor of the State of Connecticut Gov. Dutton, whose widow was present last SabbathL three speak CTS of the House of Representatives Gov. Dutton, Hon. Amos Treat, and the last speaker, Hon. c. H. Briscocl and many others who have done faith ful service in the world and in the church. It is doubtless known by most of our readers that this society, formed one hundred and siXty-thrce years ago, is the oldest ecclesiastical society in this or in adjoining towns: its records of deaths, births, marriages, etc, for the last century, now almost illcgibln, are being copied, and tho copy will be de- poSllcu Nllh tlie Uo"h ClcIh Lo4 lElcl- Cnce.
 We noticed in the congregation scvcr- al former residents of the place, who, with the others present, were greatlyre- joiced at this result. It is believed that the church is now stronger and larger than at any previous time. About sixty have united during the present pasto- rate. In this connection we may rcmark that the harmonious relations of all our churches and ministers is a pleasing ey- idcnce of Christian union among those who have differing preferences, and yet "one faith"

Serious Accident.

Bryant Walker, aged 9 years, young est son of Mrs. F. N. Walker, fell out of pear tree Wednesday afternoon, at the residence of Rev. J. P. HOyt, and broke the thigh bone of his right leg, besides cutting a deep gash in his forehead. Dr. F. N. Bennett was immediately called and dressed the little fellows in- juries, and he is now comfortable. The distance which Bryant fell was at least twenty-five feet.

THE NEW YEAR.

TO MRS. INA BAUM, FROM JANE NJ. GArLAGHEE-JU
 1uTH, lATS, The YCw Year brought me a sweet gift, To crown my motherhood That with grateful heart l accepted, From the Giver of all things Sood- Two sweet, fair buds of promise That brightenod my inner life. And swectened the toll and trial That belong to poor man wife. The New Year kept the promise The old year whispered to me. And for its sweet tulhlment
 It shall ever dearer be- Dearer because of the new lives Begun on the New Year morn Dearer, because on the New Year My precious babes were born. What though no silk or ermine Awaited each baby boy? Tine lack Of earthly treasure
 Could not lesson my matron joy. What though the home was humblc-- Prepared for each trail young life They were no less a blessing from heaven, Because sent to poor mans wife. The New Year brought them yet left them But little while to stay For, while it was yet the New Year, The angels took them away Took them from sin and sorrow,- From toil and care and strife; And all that is left is their memory, To brighten my clouded life. Where the sunbeams finger longest, Where the songbirds sweetest sing Where the autumn blooms arc brightest, And sweetest the buds of spring ;- There we laid them, in all their beauty, To deaths quiet dreamless rest And I fold my empty arms
 On a sorroWful, aching breast. Though sorrewful yet not hopeless, For, by the light of faith saw the hand that led them
 Up through the golden gate And in the sweet eternal,
 When we meet no more to part, In heaven l will hold my loved ones. Close, close, to my joyful heart.
