We have distinguished lady in town who came from New York last week, braving the intense cold of last Monday, to keep private engagement with friend, much to the aston ishment of her city friends When they ex- postulated with her she told them she wanted to see her family of cats, whose acquaintance she made the previous summer, and that Strap" and her numerous family of relatives had more attractions than the city
 Now Strap" is not wonderful, but the cat whose photograph Miss Lyman sent from Iowa to ''Aunty Hart is wonder, asthe following sketch sent with the picture will prove Miss Lyman, daughter of Washingtons former be- loved pastor, needs no endorsing.
 ''I send you a photograph of a wonderful cat which belonged at the house where we boarded last summer. She adopted ofher own accord family of motherless chickens, and brought them up with the utmost care, brood ing them under her fur. They would follow her wherever she went, and seemed as fond of her as if she were their mother. After they were grown up she quite pined away till an- other brood was given her, when the same thing was gone over with. We were there at the time and were much interested in watch ing them. A great many came to see her, and her picture was taken as you see."' J.

Miss Augusta Dargon well known through out the country, in high and stately tragedy; recognized by the best critics as the only wor- thy successor of Charlotte Cushman in the character of Lady Macbeth; and who has of ten received high encomiums from Vim Win ter who is universally acknowledged to be the highest dramatic authority in the country, will appear on that evening in several of her favor ite roles She will recite scenes fromthe Hon. eymoon. Macbeth. London .assIgalc4. and King Henry VIII. Many minor and some f.t- mIiar recitations or readings, will contribute to make an evening of rare delight. Some glees by volunteer quartette club of home production will fill the intervals between the recitations, and afford the reader rest
 Good Friends! have often invited you to our pleasant Hall; and think you who have taken my advice, and 'lent your ears" have never gone away disappointed. 1 have cer- tainly aimed to tell you only, and without ex- aggeration, what you might expect. On this occasion, am willing that your expectation should outrun my promise, considerably.

 YOUR PLYMOUTH coRREspoNDENT.-We were much pleased tolearn from your columns that Mir. s. was alive. I had supposed he was dead, and that we should never hear from him again {unless through Baxter, the Spiritulist), for he said on Jan. g, 1875 that he must keen ahead of that Goshen chap. But at the same time he set the number of sketches which he hoped to furnish for the Enquirer at "a thou. sand and one" Fearing that three score and ten would cut him short, he said, T am con. strained to hurry along as fast as possible Be. sides, circumstances may occur which will af. ford H.

l Our neighbors were quite sorry to see the snow disappear so fast, last Saturday, as they
 were looking for fine sleighing; but the ther- molneter went back on us for the hundredth l time, and we had to snbmit
 No use for the shovel yet, this way, friend 'Ghonnier' We are, indeed, Jack, but not of all
 trades nor have We been trying to disprove any
 of the old and respected maxims of our fore l fathers.
 Our little neighborhood has been rather | quiet so far this winter but seemed to liven 1 up little last week, perhaps to encourage Jack and we will do our best to inform Little Ghonnie, and any one else who may be inter- l ested as to our doings
 PARTIES. James Blake was the fortu- nate @ one this time, surprised on Tuesday evening, Jan. 8th, by select company from Milton, headed by W.J. Hall and Seelye Hart, with rosin in their pockets. A very pleasant time is reported We hear rumors of com pany coming suddenly upon Mr. Geo. Corban, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 16th dressed in the style of a century ago, with baked beans and pork for refreshments bye, and bye, about it.
 | SPELLING SCHOOL REvIvED-Mr. A. H. Tay- Tor, who is teaching ourschool, this winter, held a spelling school in the school house on the l evening of the 2d instant. There were but few present. MT. Reuben s. Hart spelled the school down. There is another school appoint ed, we hear, for the 17th inst
 MUSIC, is not dead here. We have quar- tet practicing from the Encore" eight nights a week, and we expect to be treated to some fine music sometime. By the way, we hear | considerable of late about the Beach Street String Band" It seems to be very prosper ons. One of the members informs us that the admission fee was originally four dollars, but that they were increasing so fast at that price that there could but one set dance in the Hall when the full band was present so, last week. the price was raised to S5, per cop"t!. Is it possible that it's East Cornwall tie nbers can each raise such little forsune as five .dollars of our daddies, with 412 grains of silver in each? We might safely guess that there were ''dead-heads" among them if there was a base e-drunl-but now all is mystery. We hear they have an engagement some time during the winter in Harwinton. Watch for them Little Ghonnie! a ~#rrr
 LECTURES. Rev. Hiram Stones lectures are very interesting and many of our people attend them SLIDING DOWN HILL.-We noticed as we came home from church, Sunday, that some one had been trying to teach his horse to slide down Bassett hill. Now that man would probably have made a success of it had he ex- plained to his horse the importance of keeping in the road, but having neglected to do so, of course the horse, after going first rate about two rods, more or less, shot off into the ditch,
 with what results we cannot state, but leaving tracks plainly indicative of disaster.

 The Sabbath school was reorganized, De- cember Both, retaining all the officers of last year. The school was reported in four ishing condition.

Henceforth we are to have a penny contribution, each month.

The attendance at the meeting, during tine week of prayer was very good, but not so large as it would have been, if the weather had not interfered in two ways.

 BRIDGEPoRT, Or, January 12, 1878. To the Citizens cf Bridgeport and surround ing To'en&hips:
 FRIENDS AND PATRoNs.-I am going out of the clothing business in Bridgeport. Prepara- tory to my leaving, 1 desire to express my thanks for the hearty and liberal support of the people during my seven years sojourn with them. My business, so we'll known as Reeds Cash Clothing House Che largest of it's kind in the city), is for sale and store to rent. From this date until the fortunate purchaser. of the business arrives the opportunity is yours. For five days my labor has been marking down goods. You will find bargains that amply re- pay you to buy for future wants, the prices are marked expressly for this purpose, and to transfer the stock immediately into cash. For tunate buyers will long remember this sale for opportunities like the present seldom occur. This sale is bo@G .tide and the verification of these facts can be seen on our tables. The hnsineSS iS to he sold out l know of hut one way to accomplish this result rapidly and ef- fectively, that is to reduce the price to such point that it compels the public to purchase. This has been done.
 Yours truly,
