term the 27thult. ~T 1gE Geo. McCann has purchased house and lot of Walter Burnhanl, situated just south of the residence of David Jacas, on the road to the lake. He wilt move bis chattels thereto, this week, and become a permanent resident of New Preston.
 -Alonzo Leach of Sherman, was visitor at k. J. Cables, last week. He's the champi- on rife shot of Fairfield country; and Hawk eyed Bill, of Litchfeld county. So they tuned up their rifles for contest, best in twenty | shots. When the firing ceased and the smoke cleared away. the score stood II to 12 in Hawkeyed Bills favor, who ineekiy "beass his blt.shing honors thick upon him" I.
 The New Preston Agile Lightnings" went to Warren, Saturday, and got so badly Clicked" we scarcely dare to say that the score stood 12 to 37 in favor of the Warren B. B. c.
 There was more profanity in New Preston during the recent cold snap, we are sorry to say, than there has been before in three years The atmosphere was blue and the sulphurous flames were suffocating, all owing to every coal stove in the village being put up simul- taneously. You ought to see one of our knucklesl sz s1A.Es

 The old and renowned T. U. Orchestra have organized again. They met, Thursday evening, at the chorister's, and you can easily imagine what kind of time it was from the fact that the bird like notes of one flute, the dulcet strains of three violns, and the chords of one piano, mingled with the 6asso- -pr0furado melody of one violoncello, produced such whole as the ears of mortals rarely listen to. , The music was nearly as stirring as in the days of Amphion when
 "The blrch-tree swang her fragrant hair,
 The bramble cast her berry,
 The gin within the juniper
 Began to make him merry.
 The poplars, in long order due, ' E.5 it
 With cypress promenaded, Li
 The shock head willows two by two
 By rivers gaIlopaded."
 When the T. us fiddlng gets so's to move inanimate things in such an astonishing man. ner, it will give grand concert.
 Your correspondent A. B. from Iowa, who doesn't write as much as everybody would like to have him, speaks of having sum- mer out there. We had it here, but we are entirely over it, you bet. Yesterday. with the thermometer at 18o above o, very forcibly reminded us of what we may expect in the near future, but the tropical two weeks before mentioned caused dandelion to bloom which Mrs s. Holt picked on the 27th ult., ands made rose belonging to Miss Mary Lyman, which never blossoms except in the sunny month of June, 80 far forget itself as to display its liveliest colors. ,..... .
 The town meeting adjourned till Nov. 1st was again adjourned. this time until the first Saturday in February next, to give the select men time to complete their report of the pro- posed lake highway which is about half miles in length. It seems as if the time was ample for reporting on half mile road. By the time this ie in print we hope John s. Gum will have beea eiected to the legislature by the Republicans of this town, but ''theres many a slip," etc. ..--. At the missionary meeting, Sunday night, the second number of Vol 1st of the Mission ary Star'' was read It was very ably edited by Miss Lizzie Lemon and MT. II. O.. Averill, and was quite interesting. After the pupUr some extracts from the report of the doings of the Syracuse convention were read which evinced mighty pleasure and uncomfortable happiness of the American Board of Foreign Mission at receiving legacy, lately, of mil lion dollars. Who wouldn't be tickled over such an enormous gift ? We would. -a The proclamation of postmaster Key proclaiming letters with the county or state left out of the address to be dead, is working dire calamity among corresponding lovers. One young lady has had the sulks, three weeks and nearly starved herself to death. She looks like dragon fly in August all because Augustus letter strayed from Jericho to Washington, D. c.

 "The divine Tobosan fair, > ~. .~
 Duleines, claims me whole;
 Nothing can her image tear;
 'Tis one substance with my soul" But the letter which contained thst quintes- sence of the rapture of the soul familiarity call- ed love, went to be read by an unfeeling old maid a-dead letter clerk, while he languished and pined and sighed and lost his appetite, till now he is a forIorn, shadowy, melancholy, attenuated, woe-begone wandering, purpose less dyspeptic. There's just one thing about it, postmaster Key must countermand disorder or he'll have all tie lovers in the country after him witb the sharpest kind of stick.
