TIN .WEnDING.-On Wednesday evening, Feb. 20th, about 75 or 80 of the friends and relations of Mir. & Mrs. Horace Seelye gather ed by special invitation at their home in See leyville to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their life of double blessedness, and leave to- kens of their respect in the substantial shape of ''tin." It was very pleasant affair but would have proved far more enjoyable for many had it not been for the sudden gloom cast upon the whole company by the an- nouncement, about eight o'clock, by Mir. Dwight Seelye Cyoungest son of MT. Horace Seelye) that his wife had been thrown from the wagon and very badly hurt. The presents were many and handsome as well as useful, and varied from rattle box to splendid big dish pan. We noticed quite large number of small but useful articles from Mrs. seelye's friends in Illinois who on account of distance could not be present but expressed their inter- est by the presentation of rattle boxes, dough- nut babies, Western "Sassage" Trays Saw ings Banks, Improved Tunnels, &c. We sin cerely hope the savings bank will not prove as valueless as some of our eastern institutions of that name. Burton Gilbert, of Warren, was represented by bright tea canister, contain ing note expressing his best wishes for the couple with a postscript recommending B. Gil- berts rose favored tea, Sc. A very promi- nent and conspicuous article was dinner horn about five feet long which would hoist the shingles at every toot Probably given to en- able Mir. 5. to rouse the neighbors in case of fire. We were all treated to a bountiful re- past after which came the wedding ceremony, performed by Rev. Hiram Stone; by the way the groom did not look so serious during this performance ashe no doubt did ten years ago when it was matter of life and death, after which Rev. Geo. J. Harrison read a poem and a sketch telling how the match came about, which was very interesting and anus ng and was written by that wonderful person. age "Anon." Mir. Harrison expressed a wish that Rev. Mir. Peck could have been present but allowed that he (Mr. Peck) tied the knot as firmly ten years ago as he (Mr. H. could have done it now. After the ceremony the floor was cleared and those who wished, danc- ed to the perfect time and tune of w. J. Hall and Seelye Hart, as long as desired It was an occasion long to be remembered and many kind wishes were expressed for the welfare of Mr. and Mrs. S.
 THE AooIDENT.-Mr. Dwight Seelye ran on snow. bank near the house of MT. Horace Nichols in Milton nearly but not quite turning over but throwing out his wife who sustained severe injuries, how bad we cannot say.
 Spelling Schools have fizzled out.

DEFERRED LETTERS.
HARWIETON.

Mr. Elmore Hotchkiss who entered the mat rimonial state few weeks ago, has made an assignment of his personal property to be sold at auction on Tuesday of this week, and has packed up his household chattels and fled with his young bride to her paternal roof The residents of that part of our town known as Squabble Hollow are all in hot wa ter. Mir. Gridley has sued his neighbor S. T. Chamberlain for slander There are also sey- eral other lawsuits pending in the same place, arising out of school difficulties, &c.. Sc.
 One of the Brown Brothers has had an ad- dition to his family. Henry C.. Catlin, of West Harwinton, has also had son added to his family toreplace the one removed by death few months ago.
 Mir Mary Buel died at the residence of her son-in-law,J. T. Chamberlain, on the 11th. ultimo, and her remains were taken to Hart ford for interment.
 Mrs. Lydia A. Cook rested from her suf- ferings last Thursday. Hef funeral services were held in the church, last Sabbath which was crowded to overfowing, by her many friends and acquaintances, who held her in high estimation. She joined our church in June, 1860, and remained member till her death. Her life has been rather unfortunate. Her parents and her brother died of consumption, from which she has also suffered for years. She was adopted mud lx,l in a few years her foster mother was removed by death. A year or two later, she married Mir. Norris Cook, who lived with her about year; then, while travelling in some of the western states as a sewing machine agent. he managed to gain the affections of another wo- man to whom he represented himself as being a single man, and persuaded her tomarrv him. It was sometime before his lawful wife discov- cred his dupliclty-or villainy rather. Mr. Cook was tried for bigamy and sentenced to five years in the state prison. On his release, Mrs. Cook was so magnanimous as to try to regain her faithless husbands affection, but in vain. For the past few years her health-never very good-has been very poor, and she has oeon nelpeu uy tne cnurCn anu IrlenQs 1n a measure. A few months ago she gave her on- ly child, bright pretty girl of ten years to the care and keeping of Mr. R. D. Knight of New Haven, who has adopted her as his own daugh- ter.
 Some twenty seven persons have been pro- pounded for admission to our church on the first Sunday in March.
 An agent of the post-office department was in town, last week, to regulate" our post office, and our officials will have to ''come to time" hereafter.

Mud! Perhaps that one word is sufficiently strong to fully express the state of the earth we stand upon, but I doubt it. Last week, trav- elers were prone to coinnew words continual 1 ly. For instance, suppose one IS crossing the | street and the internal mud sucks both oyer- shoes off, with that eXultant noise beer cork makeS in coming from the bottle eh? Would the ability to grate ones teeth in ten different languages be at all sufficient to express the disgvst we feel for mud?
 l The N P. T. U. entertainment at Union Hall, Thursday evening was a success in spite of tlIe very dark and disagreeable night. Over l one hundred were present, and the entertain ment will be repeated Tuesday night, the 26th by request. The characters were all well sus- tained. couldn't we'll make any distinctions, unless of that kind without a difference, for it seemed to me they couldn't better it, but we shall see Tuesday night, The orchestra con- sisted of three violins, two flutes, one violin cello, and one organ. The flute duett was good, and aU the music was good, too but Git is presumptuous in laymen to the religion of music to attempt critical distinction between these two or three first violnists of the world" Ole Bulls violin seems to have been made where horses and cats were of wilder breed than either of those that enter into the composition of either Artot's or Vieuxtemps fddles. But one that can't tell which fellow plays the seconds or 0tce gersa, had better not expose his or her ignorance. Consequently Pm dumb.
 Tine ''Mock Trial' came off at Burnham's Hall as advertised, Friday night the 22d. The accused, A. H. Bolles, Lawyer H. Hoffman, failed to make his appearance, and after choos- ing H. A. Bonnet in his stead the case pro- ceeded The court held till twelve o'clock The jury disagreed; two thirds for acquittal, one third for conviction. It passed off so in- terestingly, there is talk of soon having an other.
 Union Hall has been fitted up with a new drop curtain and fixtures, which makes it very convenient for dramatics and plays.
 Spring approacheth and the warning month of storm and wind is at hand. Six weeks sledding in March this year

He now accepted an invitation to dine
with Mr.. Gray, and the parties entered

A Horse Story.

An American clergyman, who is in
the habit of preaching in different parts
of the county, was not long since, at
country hotel where he observed a
householder trying to take in a simple
gentleman, by imposing upon him
wind-broken horse for sound one. The
parson knew the bad character of the
dealer, and, taking the gentleman aside,
told him to be cautious of the person he
was dealing with. The gentleman de-
clined the purchase, and the dealer quite
nettled, observed:
Parson, had much rather hear you
preach than see you privately interfere
between man and man in this way.'
Well" replied the parson, "if you
had been where you ought to have been
last Sunday, you might have heard me
preach.
Where was that?' inquired the
dealer.

gyman.

What a Paper Costs.

1t costs less than half cent day to
take weekly paper; less than dill
gent hen would earn in a month at the
market price of eggs less than cigar
a fortnight, ,anda very cheap one at that
less than the barber would charge by the
year to keep ones hair trimmed; less
than good sized Christmas turkey;
less than an energetic kitchen girl will
waste in week. A penny day can be
saved in many better way than stop
ping your paper.

Augustus Blinkerman's Duel.

A UGUSTUS BLINKERMAN was a
IA gentleman whose devotion to the
pursuits of business had so impaired his
health that he resolved to leave the
charge of his affairs in the hands of his
head clerk while he went about for a
year or two to recruit his exhausted en-
ergies, and get knowledge of the
famous places of the world besides.
He did go abroad, and was absent for
nearly two years, during which period
he enjoyed healthy and intellectual
good time. He opened his eyes, and
stared with all his might at all the won
ders of the European world, and even
gazed with great zeal upon portion of
western Asia, and took blink at Egypt
and the Red Sea; and when he reflected
upon the manner in which he had passed
the two years, during his return voyage.
he fiattered himself that he acted like a
true Christian as well as philosopher,
having acquired both strength and
knowledge; but alas there was one sad
drawback.
He had grown near-sighted from some
cause. 1t might be that he had stared
too much at astonishing scenery or
works of art. 1t might have been that
he had been kept awake of nights too
much in his travels, and had winked his
