Ills patron did not know that ho had traded horses, The stable man was not satls- fled with the trade. and went with the strange horse to Brewster's and found his own all right.

 Vim. E. Sharp. Esq, (oycrybody in Newtown knows tho genial "Bub, |" Is going abroad somewhere for few weeks. It k said 1t required n barrel of baked clans and ilxings to celebrate tl.e farewell. .t
 The Nens says that ono bccr-bottler hore sold POS cases of Vienna lager (whatever that may be) 10 private fami- les In town and vicinity in ono week. Several other bottlers not heard from. How k that for blue ribbon? KohanZa water, as Il beverage, k not popular, and yet 1t has as much body as lager, and sometimes tastes about as well.
 A freo drinking g-fountaln-pnre ic ,d- water-has been erected near the Post office. It is neat affair, trimmed with the conventional temperance blue. Wa ter vs lager. You bet which beats.
 The $. S. s. B. B. Club and friends, a party of some fifty or more, including several ladies, went to Washington on last Thursday to play the Gunnerys a game. Score: Gunnerys, 16; S. s. S's, l2. Our boys did not return in the best of spirits. The Washington boys did not expect so many, and there was n lack of conveyances 10 the grounds. Tie $. $. S's do not blame the Gunncrys for the dinner, as they had made better pro- visions, but their orders were C, tier. mandcd. "The course of" 6c. "never did run smooth" and base ball Is no ex- ccptlon.
 Sherman, our ncighbor is furnishing more than it's share of sensation. Dan bury jail holds another of its citizens for attempted murdor-Aug. c. Osborne who tried to kill Dr. H. L. Mallory. He is thought to be partially derangcd. He imagines the doctor has been drug ging him and caused him to commit the unparlonable sin for which he is surely going to hell. Next term of the crimi- nal court will be likely to have three trials for murder in this county.
 This is the season to enjoy the pleas ant drives about Danbury. There rro no mountains or deep glens. but the whole country may be characterized as pictur- esque. Go whichever way you will the country looks fine, and the rolling sur face is beautiful in variety. Avery pleas ant drive is from thevillage to Westville about four miles north west from Main street. Westville is a pleasant place, and just now is gem of emerald green. And the people, so far as my acquain- tance extends. seem just such people as should live in such aplaee, happy and generous hearted. A drive from West vile around northwest over the hills to King street is delightful, and the views inspiring. From King street back to Westville on the middle or eastern road there are some charming views, especi- ally one going down the hills south, which includes distant view of Dan- bury and surrounding hills. Mill Plain with It's fine background of beautifully outlined hills, and the high hills in the center of the picture guarding the valley of Sugar Hollow-sweet name-on the road to Ridgefield. We often wonder why our citizens who drive up and down Main street, fine as it Is, do not go out oftener on the surrounding hills for air and inspiration HORACE.
