ENTERTAINMENT came off last Tuesday evening, at the town room, andthe attendance was large. We had home talent, except that Mr. Hctchkiss and MT. Strickland of Wolcott- vile, assisted MT. Gaylord and Arthur Wad- hams, with their violins. Miss Amy Gaylord pre- sided at the Organ, except when Miss, Octavia Wadhams tosk her place several times. The Goshen COrnet Band gave fine Duett towards the close, and afterwards played several alpieces out doors. la this short account, 1 will not notice where the fine instrumental music came in, but we feel under great obligations to all the musicians Song, ''Now Moses;" Recita- tion, by Miss Amy Gaylord; The Elephant, a Temperance Dialogue. very well performed by the young people of E. St; Hunting Tower, Scotch song, by Arthur Wadhams and Miss Henrietta Wadhams; Recitation, ''The wedding Fee," by Mrs. Hagen; "Betsey and I are out;" Matrimonial Difficulties, by W. E. Gaylord and Henrietta Wadhams Ex- tracts from Pinafore, Eugene P. Norton personated Sir Joseph Porter, K. c. B., Mrs. Hall was little Buttercup, and the women sang the praises of Sir Joseph, and the Sailors cheered him and his cousins and his aunts, who appear to be reckoned by dozens, did their part; Recitation by Mrs. Hazen, the Changed Cross, very good. At the close we had the Bridal Wine Cup" Miss Octavia Wadhams was the Bride, and when the large company of guests said "pledge with the wine cup" her father offered her the glass; which she refused to drink, and after she had told of the death of her twin brother, brought on by wine, the whole company gladly set the glasses of wine back on the table. It was very fine piece.

ARRIvALs.-From Maryland the popular family Of Orioles, resplendent ing gay attire and whistling most gleefully. Robert of Lincoln made his appearance some days previously, and evidently accompanied by ''his cousins, his aunts" and all his relations, each vieing with the other in singing merry glees and won- derful choruses. Little Miss Humming Bird was the last registered at the clerks office. Like little girls of the elden time, she has been taught that ''she must be seen, not heard"
 The welcome showers of the past few days have caused revival of vegetable life so that, like the famed Fortunatus, one can almost hear the grass grow. All the small fruits give promise of full bearing, and corn, beans, and peas promise to garnish our tables in due sea- son. The New Milford Gazette speaks of Miss Boardman's Magnolia being in blossom. Mir. Thompson of Bethlehem has also one, which is mass of rosy bloom. They seem to be perfectly hardy; why do not we see them more generally cultivated

The town clerk, after diligent inquiry has found that the mad dog that was killed recent ly in New Preston was registerd in Hartford. The owner is responsible for the OK that was bitten and had hydrophobia; but if human being had suffered the same fate, what redress could there have been? Still in spite of legis- lation, many unmuzzled dogs are roaming about our streets, to the terror and annoyance of many. ..1- J,

At last we have quite an excitement. It seems that, for sometime past, there has been living at the Centre man and woman who have never been married to each other, but have been living together as man and wife. The neighbors have been complaining to the town authorities for some time, to either con- pei their marriage or their separation, but no notice has been taken of the complaints. Last Friday night, about eleven o'clock, party of masked men made a raid on the house, took the man, and after stripping him of the one unmentiontionable garment in which he was clothed, and giving him good coat of tar and feathers, gave him free ride on a rail until, in very abject manner, he begged them to desist, promising to leave town by the ensuing Monday. From the general talk, we believe the neighboring people are very much pleased with the job done by this gang of Ku Klux. While we don't exactly approve of such do- ings in our usually quiet neighborhood, we think that if the town authorities will not look after such matters, it is.time for private individuals to take things in hand and clean the town of such characters.

The New York Sun of Wednesday in a
brief editorial artcal, speaks as folloyssf The
day after election should he day of phlos-
ophic reflection TO men Of all parties. For
the defeated it is al! there is left They
should recall the examples Of great histori-
cal characters who had distinguished them
selves by the patience aud fortitude with
which they have submitted to reverses of
fortune. They shsGld review the campaign
and see what mistakes are apparent in their
management, So as TO 0yoid them next time.
Moreover, defeated candidates may derive
comfort from the consideration that even the
highest Office does Not necessarily confer
honor. Who respects Rutherford b. Hayes ?
A different line of reflection, but none the
less philosophic, is equally appropriate to the
vctors. We would respectfully suggest to
the pastors of the several churches the fitness
of sermons addressed to the triumphant par
ty on the vanity of all earthly possession Of
office. What is it to be clothed in little
briefauthority-espccally for those to whom
the dress is unbecoming, and misft?

concerned with results than with the con-

formed its duty. Those who carried the

RICHMOND, Nov. 5.-The latest returns that
have been received seem to make certain the
defeat of the Debt Payers party. The lead
ers Of that party now claim to have elected 80
members Of the House, with good chances tor
the ReadIusters have 80 certainly elected. In
the Senate 1t is estimated that each party has
certainly elected 10 members, and that there
are y doubtful. OF these the Rcadiusters
claim the majority. and he Debt Payers seem
disposed o admit the chances are In favur Of
that claim. 1t looks To night as though the
Readjusters were certain to control the lie lis
lature. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was defeated for
the Senate by 60 majority.
