joy the reputation of disturbing the peace each. St venth day. Quarrelling of some kind seems to be in order, and the disturbers have until this Sunday escaped the penalty of the law. Fights of a disgraceful character have passed without notice and the southeast cor ner of the town bids fair to furnish all the ele. ment of Sunday fighters needed for our rcpu- tation A certain young man that was to leave the vicinity for New Jersey assaulted M. J. Root quite severely and attempted to elude Constable Brewster by taking the cars from Lime Rock station but when he stepped aboard the officer took his ticket and invited him to ride back and interview Esquire Gibbs and he did for five dollars and costs,-thlr teen dollars and forty-six cents for your Sun day pleasure, said the justice, and he settled and we hope he has departed for Jersey sad der but wiser man than while he was in Hunts vile.
 We enjoyed good runaway Monday. The thoroughbred of one of the admirers (whose name we omit for the sake of the horses rep utation) of this section started on the 'go-as you-please" plan and went down the street to the railroad track, then up the track a rod ] then down the steep bank and around Mr. | Cady's domicile, then down towards Lime Rock, leaving the road wagon near the house of the Squire, who was dispensing justice at | Attorney Clarke's office. The owner later caused the wagon to be removed and enjoyed safe ride behind the ambitious tan -mile. Y"

 Hartford seems to.be very much pleased | with our grove and lake by the number ofex- cursions that have been here during the past week, and we are very much pleased with the Hartford people, and hope they will always enjoy an excursion to Lakeville, and they will find that we will do all in our power to make it pleasant for them. The Windsor Av, Cong. society, also the Methodist of Park and Asy lum sts. were here, and the First Baptists are to come the 16th inst.
 Our people feeling much aggrieved about the way the St. Mary's Church Society celebrated the 4th, the day that all loyal citizens ought tc hallow as we'll as celebrate, brought sui against Father II. J. Lynch of that church fol selling intoxicating drinks. II. Williams fo the people and Attorney Graves of Litchtielc for the defendant It was quite an amusing trial. One of the principal witnesses on the opposite side declined to answer tue first ques tion asked by Attorney Williams but when tho papers came to commit him for contempt O court he got very loquacous, and answered them all except he could not tell the name O the man who went with him afer the lager He thought it might be Patrick or W illiam
 No doubt it was. He also was ignorant O
 the contents of the barrels be brought. Tn,
 suit was before Justice Pratt of Salisbury held at Academy hall. It is not more thal
 right that should state that we all admire
 the verdict of Mir. Pratt which found the
 prisoner guilty, and imposed fine of .$2t

 the second complaint Attorney W lliams ha won the highest regard of our citizens by th'
 ability and sagacity he shove during tn, l trial, and his plea was short and eloquent teaching his hearers that the law of this stat' was to prosecute and convict all who deal
 in that which destroys the body and soul
 Attorney Graves made very good plea on that would almost convince the most skept
 cal that his client was innocent and should no be found guilty. His argument was grand s but could not turn the scales Tn his tavo = while Daniel Pratt was the presiding justice t The case was appealed to tho next term of tn
 Superior Court at Litchteld. ST. ELMO.
