New Preston.

On Tuesday of last week, New Preston's sons and daughters of leisure and pleasure had d dance at Carter's hotel, at Cheere Point. \. Flowers and L. Cogswell furnished music for the occasion. They also played Saturday night at the Loomarwick house for the board CTS to dance away the time which hangs so heavily on their hands. The gay and festive proceedings were stopped, however, two min- utes to twelve o'clock. Consequently the Sab- bath was not broken, though terribly stralned and good deal of duration yet hangs weight ly upon them.
 On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 18th and 18th insts., the thermometer indicated 94 Q and 96 respectively, as the highest points at tained for those days, the instrument hanging in the shade. On the afternoon of the 16th, we experienced hard shower, as compared with most rains; but g slight one compared with those we read of elsewhere. It was ac- down shade tree in Ben. Griswolds door yard, demoishing two lengths of picket fence, now and then tree elsewhere about the coun- try, and upsetting haystacks, and damaging cornfelds some, etc. We were lucky, this time, but we had our portion, last year.
 Our village was henored by the presence of Gov. Andrews, on account of the storm mentioned above. Although Governor, he knew enough to go in when it rained

The Naugatuck Coney Island Excursion

The excursion on the, Naugatuck Railroad and the Steamer Laura to Coney Island, last Thursday, was a very enjoyable one The storm of Wednesday had cooled the heated term and laid the dust, making the railroad trip a delightful one. The ride on the sound on the steamer was very pleasant. About eight hundred excurtionists were on board,
