Young men contemplating marriage have
SO frequently called upon US to advise them
in the manner of popping the ali-important
question that we have concluded to give
our opinion once for all. Never propose to
young lady after hearty meal. Inc
blood is needed to aid digestion, and her
Imagination is chilled. Nor should 1t come
Just before meal, for the longing' OF an
importuned system conduce to anxiety and
irritability, and the shock may prove haz-
ardou.. 1t would be better to select the
evening and invite her to some entertain
ment which you know she wants TO attend'
and then propose to her just as she is reaaS
70 start. This will be greatly TO your ad-
vantage, for she will easily see that relec-
ton will upset an evenings amusement.

On last Sunday, April 7th, the dogs got into Mir. Chas Pierce's sheep and killed seven of them. Had it not been
 for neighoor by the name of Pierce there is no telling how much damage might have been done. Pierce saw the dogs at work and drove them of, then followed them to their home; so it was an easy matter for the selectmen on Monday to find the dogs and order them killed; and Tuesday there was three less dogs in Kettletown than there was Sunday. The town will have to settle with .Chas. s. Pierce, Esq. for the dam age, as Charles is too smart and too much of business man to take up with any second-handed security when he has a sure thing. Speaking of c. S.
 Pierce, it is no mere than fair to say that from present indications he is mak- ing Eettletown resemble the Kettletown of other years. It only shows what hard work and proper direction of ones en- orgies can do. Those old eroakers who

THE TEMPERANCE RALLY.

The temperance meeting of Tuesday evening, April 9th, in the Congregational church, was most gratifying to all pre- sent. The speakers. Rev. Geo. F. Waters, and Mir, Osman, of Bethel, and Mr. Fred Jennings, of Danbury, were earnest and entertaining. The number in attendance, was greater than many expected to see, and when it was an- nounced that seventy had signed the pledge, the friends of temperance and reform were astonished at the result. The storm of Thursday evening pre- vented Rev. M. H. Pogson from appear ing on that evening, much to the regret of hundreds who would have come to hear him. Rev. Mir. Hoyt, on last Sun day, gave notice of the coming of Rev. J. Davenport, of Bridgeport, Monday evening but made no mention of Mir. Pogson, whom we suppose, because of his other engagements, cannot come. We hope however to be able to state in this issue that Mr. Pogson will be here Rt some future date.

 As soon as the scoundrols had de- parted Mir. Banks made strong effort 10 loosen his hands in order to free him self from the gag which almost stfan- gled him. About four o'clock he sue coeded In getting his hands out of the strap. and clearing himself Of the gag and the ropes by which his feet were bound to the bedalead, He immediately went to his fathers house, gave the alarm and aroused Officer Desmond.
 The back door of the bank shows the means Of having been broken open by means of q chlsol, and attached to tha door knob isa strong rope, recently cut, which had heen attached to stake out side In such position as to hold the door shut, The opinion of those best acquainted with such matters Is that tho robbers had become acquainted with Mr Banks habits and early in the evening, during his absence from the building, had broken open the door and secured 1t with rope from the outside, so thnt when they came at a later hour they could cut the rope and enter noiselessly.
 The robbery will in no manner effect the solyency of the bank, the funds of the institution being amply sufficient to cover the loss by tho robbery.
 Footprints of two mon, one large and one small, were found in the mud in the neighborhood of the building, but no horse tracks, showing that tho saddle bags talk was for the purpose of deceiv- ing Mr. Banks. Several suspicious par. ties were arrested but no evidence found to hold them.

Palestine.

We left this place . few days since and wended our way towards the center of the town, through the village of San dy Hook and across Curtis's hill, toward the Housatonic passed over the old bridge called Bennetts Qor which they demanded the sum of ten cents-we sup pose for risking our liyes); we travelled on across the sandy plains that lead to Southbury. It is pity there is not d Moses to smite the rocks, or lay his rod into the stream, making pure water for the weary teamster5 who cross these plains. We noticed one such whose team was laden with flour for some fam ishing land, who had stopped before the "Oak Tree House." He looked parched and shriveled as he stood at the en- trance, our heart yeamed for him, and VIC thought the children of Israel " would have to depend upon their mama (mamma); we hope they have plenty. We passed through the beautiful village of Southbury, made beautiful by the old and stately shade trees that adorn each side of the street. Would not your cor respondent from Southbury oblige us and many others, by describing the ex, act location of the Goodrich place, the home of Peter Farley ?" we were inte- rested in his stories when young, and would like to look on his home. Pass ing on to Woodbury we noticed some- thing which seemed very familiar and on looking closely we found it to be nothing less than the sign of our friend 1 Rowell, formerly ot this town. On yo- ing into his place of business we were surprised at the amount of ticking going on. We do not mean that RoWoll does business "on tick" not he!
