 Lawyer Cothren gathered his Novem- her crop of the ever-bearing raspberry last week. The fruit is well set for De- ccmbor, and if the frost does not hurry up he will get q crop for that month. If this variety of raspberry were placed in greenhouse it would bear the year round. Since writing the above frost and snow have disposed of the December crop. MT. Cothrcn also gathered his November crop of green peas, and has some in bloom for December, but is not quite sure they will como to maturity on account of the election. The prcpara- lions for election are very quiet, still we wait for results. As write this on Mon- day, do not <nOw the results.
 Election passed off very quietly, but very earnestly. Homer II. Minor and Homer s. Tomlinson, Republicans, were elected by large majority. Two first class men represent us this time.
 A meeting of the ladies of Woodbury was held at the lecture room of the First Congregational Church last Wednesday, 'afternoon, for the purpose of aiding in the contributions for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers in New Orleans. A very large number were in attendance. Large quantities Of clothing and other necessary articles, toyctherwith material in great abundance for making more new were contributed. Willing hands were diIli- gently employed in cutting and making various articles of apparel for childre4@ and adults. This particular effort was in answer to a call for aid by Miss Jane Benedict, native of this town, and grand daughter of Rev. Noah Benedict, who was the third minister after the set clement of ancient Woodbury. Miss Benedict is connected with one of tho Orphan Asylums at New Orleans, and has remained at her post, aiding in every way the sufferers during the dread epi- demic. She well remarked in her letter that there would be a large accession to the number of the orphans, and the help less from the ravages of the. fever, and the aid of the benevolent more than ever required. She knew well the gener- ous impulses of the people of her native town, and applied with confidence for aid, and when the supplies arrive she will not be disappointed unless it be surprise at the largeness of the offerings. Once engage the interest of the ladies of WOodbury, in any cause, and you may be sure that there will be no failure, or dis appointing results.
 George Tyler who for so many years carried the mail, passengers and express matter on the route from Woodbury to Newtown, and who was so unfortunate as to loose all his horses but one last spring. thus making it necessary to give up busi- ness on that line for time, has again returned to the route, and is ready to ac- c0mm0datc all his old customers, and new ones as we'll, running three times D. week, viz: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We are glad to see him on the route again. We have missed hfra during the summer months. His route is of the utmost convenience to those hay ing mail matter they desire to send to the Housatonic R. R. after a. Ill.,, as he takes letters and mails them so that they go either way by first maiL- His express line is also of great convenience in sending express matter. Let all en- courage him with a generous patronage
