 MAY QUEEN CELEBRATIoN.-On the first day of June Gold style) the Congregational Sabbath school held a May-day Festival. Pre- viously Miss Ella Pierce had been chosen i Queen by her schoolmates. At 10 o'clock the school met at the Chapel, and there formed in procession and marched to the platform and | floral throne which had been prepared for the Queen and her subjects, under the shade trees l about one fourth of mile distant. Willie Harris furnished neat basket phaeton, and Pliny Squire three horses and three grooms. His small horse was harnessed into the thills of the phaeton, and pair of large coach hor- ses were harnessed in front of the small horse, all decorated with flags and each led by a groom. By the side of the Queen sat lad of eight summers, fancifully dressed, to hold a sun-shade over her. This chariot led the pro- cession. Two Maids of Honor walked on each two by two, and after them the carriages. Al half past eleven the procession arrived on the ground, and while the Queen rested few mo. ments the long procession had time to gather around the platform The Maids of Honor then escorted the Queen upon the platform, l up to the throne and seated her in the regal chair Flowers before gave beauty to the throne; but the Queen gave new beauty to the scene.
 The Superintendent, who was director of the whole, announced, Friends! while we meet to pay homage to our chosen Queen, we will not forget that we owe supreme allegiance tc Him who is King of Kings and the King oi Queens, and Lord over all their subjects" Then followed the invocation, by the Rev. D. E. | Jones'
 After prayer, two young ladies stepped ur on the platform and sung about their coming from the wild woods, the wales, hills and meadows green, bringing the sweetest posies and roses to twine with evergreen, bringing the fairest flowers to crown our May-day Queen. In the chorus which followed, the whole school sang. Next, two young ladies' the crowner and the scepter-bearer. stepped upon the platform. The crowner, addressing the Queen, ascended the throne, placed the crown upon her head, and, her speech fin.

ished, retired little. The scepter-bearcr | next, with golden scepter in hand, reminded I tlie fair Queen that she was ruler of all that Was bright and gay; placing the scepter in the the emblem of her sovereign power with wise discretion, truth, and justice. The Maids then escorted the crowner and scepter- bearer from l the throne.
 Thirty-fo more of the scholars, one after | another, from four to twenty years old, pre- stnted their cards at the entrance and were waited upon the platform; and, the Queen ex- tending to each her scepter, they approached, and first touching the scepter, addressed the l Queen. The whole school frequently joined Tn the singing of songs selected for the ecca- sion. After the Queen had received the school she addressed them in neat speech expressing the deep gratitude that filled her heart Her eye was bright, her heart aglow, full of bliss, and happiness; and there was, think she said there was, one sigh,

 cannot do justice to her speech. It was beautiful, and if it were not for adding too much to this lengthy report I would seek to get it and add to it the many speeches that were made to the Queen. The scholars were all dressed suitably to the characters they rep resented and the exhibition, novel to us, was Highly enjoyed by every one.
 Next came refreshments from table boun- tifully provided with the good, the best even, that our homes afforded. All eat and were filled, or else the fault was theirs. Dinner over, Judge Lyman P.

MR EDITOR. The "leafy month of JuIe" that ushurs us into the heat of summer brings to Washingtonans many and varied chanses.
 One of the most conspicuous is the change the R. R, officials inaugurate giving us six in place of two trains per day. The freqaent snorts of the steam engine sound like business and makes one feel that the world is still alive and better times drawing nigh. It has become tary affairs here, to the indebtedness contract. ed by the town when it voted to pay it's quota toward the building of the railroad. We should consider that these hard times are not confined to Washington or Connecticut, but extend all over the country, or have extended, for the indications are certainly, as Milwau- kee gentleman writes, that we ''have touched bottom and are beginning to come to the sur face again at least those who were not ntter- ly shipwrecked. ''For three years," said he, ''we have been doing losing business; our losses arising from Appreciated stock, failures and cheats, amounting to twenty thousand uOlldfS; JUL ldSt year was DeIter thar the preceding, and prosperity seems again to await us." Other business men make similar state ments, and when the ''good times" ceme to one part of the country, it takes but little time for the wave to roll from one end to the other, and we, in our turn, will be lifted by it let us stop croaking and bewailing losses and see how much better we shall appear, as well as feel.

T. Stewart & Co.,, & w. 6 s. Sloane, N.

The nomination of Sec McCrary, as Judge of the U. s. Circuit court seems likely to be rejected by the Senate on the ground that the appointment could not be legally made till the vacancy had actually occurred. Mir. McCrary will probably have to wait, therefore, till his predecessor has actually retired from the bench before he can be confirmed.

The railroad commissioners of several States met at Saratoga, last week. Says the Courant,
 The most important matter before them was the consideration of form for uniform sys- tenn of accounts and returns, and a system was reported by Commissioner Woodruff of this state, chairman of the committee appointed at the Columbus convention, last November, to prepare such form. After a free and inter- esting discussion it was unanimously adopted as reported by the committee, very compli- mentary act, considering the previous diversity of opinion among the commissioners and &C., cOuntants of the various states on this impor- tant subject. This proposed form will be pre- sented to the legislatures of the various states for adoption, except in Massachusetts where it will go into immediate effect, as the commis- sioners in that state have entire jurisdiction in the matter and are not obliged to ask permis- sion of the legislature to carry out desirable reform in this branch of the railroad depart ment.
 Commissioner Adams, of Massachusetts, ad- vocated the taxation of railroads upon real es- tate and gross receipts, only.
 Washington Depot is probably the most thriving place on the Shepaug railroad. Quite village has already grown up at that point, one of the best buildings erected there being the hardware store, tin shop and dwelling house recently finished by MT. Foulois. Ba- ker & Brinsmade do large and increasing business at their fine store next the depot. They offer specially good bargains in furniture, heavy groceries, boots and shoes, and claim that, escaping as they do all expense of cart age, and doing strictly cash business, they can offer better inducements to buyers. than can be obtained anywhere else in this vicinity. See adv't in another column.
 TWISTED rejoices in a settlement by the board of railroad commissioners of the depot diff fculty between their two railroads The two companies are ordered to arrange for conven- lent transfer of freight and passengers-In the case of Williams liquors, seized in the Win sted News press room, there was trial before a jury in the District Court, Judge Cewell of Waterbury on the bench We infer from the Herald report that, owing to the failure of the judge to instruct the jury definitely upon the principal points raised, there was no agreement, and the case goes over to October.
