While the town is unusually alive with sum- mer boarders, an entirely new element has been introduced among us, by scattering among the philanthropic seventy eight mem-. bers of the Howard Mission school, of New York, which is said to be under the auspices of the Evening Post; on whose staff is one of the old ''Snuggery boys," and through whose influence these children have found admission for few weeks into our farm houses and other homes-and here comes in a conundrum why are boys so much more intractable than girlss ''They say" the girls are generally well behaved and agreeable, while the boys are mostly vicious and wantonly destructive, pelt- ing of green pears, pulling green grapes, and making such nuisances of themselves as to make it evident they should be in reform school of some kind
 Another novelty is of a different type Il came to the depot in the shape of birch ca noe of Indian manufacture. It was made by the Penobscot Indians in Maine, and is one oi the canoes used by Messrs. Weaver, Baker and Grannis in navigating the, Penobscot rivel and tributaries on their sporting expedition t Mt.

The fun was immense, and the re- ceipts were over ninety dollars, netting between sixty and seventy Had Pen Dragon been as anxious to attend as some of our people were to attend the Fellowship Meeting at New Preston, last spring, she would have been at least two days in succession, and would have ascertained its when and whereabouts before making her complaints as to the intemperance of the community. It was not, in fact, total abstinence affair, for there was plenty of victuals and good cheer and had Providence so ordered it. we should have been happy to have given her an introduction to Little Ghonnie who is in his element on such occasions.
 SCHOOLS schools have most of them closed for the summer term. At the visitation of No. B. on Friday last, it was ascertained that Miss Lois Clark had not been tardy or ab- sent a day during the term. The acting visitor remarked on it as the only instance of regular attendance in any of the schools he visited.

Church's; and the Howard sisters, at Miss Ellen Hickox's. .se % CHIEF EVENT OF THE WHEREAS the 6 D. m. train halted at Washington Depot on Thursday last, there issued from one of the  cars about eighty little children in true martial order, sent out by the Fresh Air Fund of the New York Evening Post, under the direction of Rev. Mir. Parsons it's agent, and Miss Lines, teacher of the Howard Mission School. After being duly inspected, they were distributed among families who had volunteered to enter tain them, for two weeks, to breathe the pure air of our hills, to romp the green fields, to drink milk that has not been watered, and to do other mischief of this kind generally. Most of them were at church on Sabbath; and, as far as our knowledge extends, most of them are well behaved and orderly. We hope their health may not be contaminated by contact with Washington society. The population of Judea in 1870, was about $50. Should census now be taken, of all present, we doubt not it would exceed 1,000 s.
