 On Tuesday evening, the 17th, the "Will- ing Helpers Society" of St. Peters parish held Festival Tn the Town Hall The refresh ments consisted of strawberries, ice cream, lemonade, coffee, cones of cake, pies, etc. etc., There were also for sale variety of fance articles. The ladies of this ancient parish are usually quite successful on such occasions, and as a result of this gathering, cleared the hand some sum of $45.
 Three weeks ago alluded to Mir. Charles H. Mattoon as suffering by an abscess. On Monday the 16th Dr. Frank P. Esterly of Watertown made an incision to the diseased parton the right side near the thigh, and ex- tracted considerable purulent matter. On the 17th, an additional, but smaller quantity was removed by Dr. Goodwin of Thomaston. On the 18th. Mir. Mattoon departed this life; and, on the 20th, a post-mortem examination of the body took place, principally conducted by Doct. Esterly; doctors Woodruff and Good win being present. The vital organs were found to be in a healthy condition; death having been the result of an abscess, which, it is supposed, was caused by strain or bruise at some former period. On the 21st the funer- al was very largely attended from the family residence, one mile north of the Center; the Rev. M. Gilliand officiating on the sad occa- sion. MT. M. vas son of Dayton Mattoon, of Watertown, but had resided in this town since the age of twenty or twenty y-one years. For few years he worked exclusively at farm ing but great majority of the time he has labored at various kinds of stone work, and the moving of buildings. Nearly all of this latter kind of business which has transpired in this vicinity during the last twenty or twenty five years has been accomplished by him. A person who has served the public SO long and we'll should not be allowed to pass away without some token of remembrance Mir. Mattoon leaves family consisting of wife, four sons, and three daughters His age was 57 years.
 On Friday, the 30th, Mir. Henry Pleuquet raised the frame for new barn. 24 by 29 feet. Mir. Watrous of Thomaston has the job of put ting up and completing the building. I do not learn that bottle of rum or whiskey was thrown from the ridge pole q suppose in token of victory), as in the olden time but am in- formed that cake and lemonade were scattered in great profusion on this occasion
 On Saturday, the 21st, the Caledonian club of Thonaston passed with. numerous teams. to and from Compounce, where they went on picnic excursion.
 This week, Grilleys Band of Thomaston propose to visit us on Friday, instead of Sat- urday evening, when they are engaged to go to Wolcottville.

The frame for building, 25 by 50 feet, for the Knife Go. and in the neighborhood of theil factory, was raised last week by Beckley of Thomaston. The second story is to be fitted up as tenement The occupancy of the first floor has not been announced, but it will prob. ably be put to use either as grocery store, millinery establishment, or ice-cream saloon, whichever promises to be most profitable. During the raising, Joseph Hopkins was struck by falling rafter which was broken on his shoulder

In Europe the aristocracy of birth generally dominates the aristocracy of wealth, yet there are few kings, or prime ministers who have the real power wielded by the head of the House of Rothshild. The power of the purse is daily growing stronger and stronger in Eu- rope. Often it is in the power of the Reth- schilds to make war possible or impossible i; to maintain or to overthrow dynasties The power of this wonderful house is increased by its despotic domestic constitution. The head of the house is an autocrat, entitled to the inn plicit obedience of all its members. It acts as whole, and is never ''divided against itself, ]" No American family, or single corporation, has yet accumulated the riches and strength of the Rothschilds; yet second generation of Vanderbilts, as successful as the first, threat ems to equal it's wealth and to exceed it's pow CT. r

 -"P. D." haven't you or the ''devil" made mistake in enumerating the young 'maidens'' and "widows' in New Preston if not, It is evident that you have stretched" the statis- tics somewhat. We have no use for widows, though one is generally good ''company, /" but when 1t comes to matrimony, we leave that for the next man. But sometime in the future we will drive out to New Preston if you will gather the maidens between sweet sixteen and twenty-five together, and blind fold them all, and will take the first one we can catch with our eyes open. We presume that you are too old to be included among them?
 The Heather Man" passed through the town on Saturday. We have several times essayed to attract his attention, but always failed; but when we met him as we were car rying the mail the other day, bright idea struck us, and drawing rein for moment we inserted our thumb and fore finger in our vest pocket, and politely asked him if he ''would like some money9" He stopped at once and took step towards us, while look of intelli- gent expectation stole over his stolid features, but the question repeated failed to canse him to open his ugly mug" and when we with drew our empty hand he turned away disap- pointed, locking as stolid as ever.
