DEFERRED LETTERS.
WASHINGTON.

New Preston's Immortal Bard has sung of spring. which, like wounded snake, ''drags it's slow length along.' A few fields of oati sown, but little ploughing done yet. The l amount of freighting on the Shepag rail road, ! to and from thls place is simply enormous. We think the stockholders ought to bless God that there is such places as Washington. IT addition to the lumber and building material, necessary for the completion of the numerous buildings in process of erection, Messrs. Cook, of Roxbury, and Jay Lyon, of New Milford, are sending to market large quantities of this article for nearly all purposes which it can be applied.
 We are informed that Dnctor Brown, and Dea. Humphrey, have purchased tract of timber of the estate of the late s. H. Mitchell, and are about erecting 8 steam saw mill on the intervale near the river, on the line of the rail road. It is expected that Watts & Hoyt, of New Milford, will ship large amount of ties for the New York & New England road, from this place.
 The Gunnery came together for it's sum- mer term, on Wednesday last The seats which they occupy in church were we'll filled on Sunday.
 The public schools are supplied with the following teachers; Center District, Mrs. J. w. Titus; Calhoun, Miss Yredenberg of Stepney; Davies Hollow, Sarah E. Calhoun i; North East, Sarah R. Kinney; East, Candace Bradley j, South, D. Chester Brown; with Church Hill to be supplied.
 We are requested to state that fishing in the Bantam, and Shepaug rivers, between West Morris, and the Cobble in Washington, is prohibited by law.
 MT. and Mrs. Stanley Williams of New Preston, MT. and Mrs. Charles Sanford, of Roxbury, MT. Edward Buckingham, of Bridgeport, and other strangers, were at the Congregational church, yesterday.
 A number of our people attended the golden wedding of Mir. and Mrs. George M. kasson, of Bethlehem, which occurred on the 8th inst.
 Two deaths have occurred since our last writing. Joseph Rowe, for some years an inhabitant of this place, died on the Eth inst, aged about 50 years.
 On Tuesday, the 18th inst, Mary, wife, and almost life long companion of David C.. Whit tlesey, passed away, aged 7S. The funeral was attended on Thursdaay, at her late resi- dence, by large concourse of friends and neighbors, to whom she had eudeared herself by her genial manners and christian disposit- ion, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord S.

TWISTED.

The events of the past week have been nu- | merous but the event was the Martha Wash ington Tea Party given by the ladies of the 2d Congregational church at City Hall on Wednesday evening It was brilliant and recherche entertainment, and was natteded by large numbers, who fully entered into the spirit of the evening and were as social and friendly as could be desired. Of course | General George and Lady Martha were in at | tendance and held reception. Four tables 1 were ranged on each side of the hall and at the head of each sat a lady dressed in Continen- tai costume with powdered coifurs of the same period, looking as the Herald says, s'ex ceedingly dstngue" Here good things | were dispensed and lovely waiter girls in modern raiment and white caps heaped ones plates with delicacies The menu comprised everything that could be desired in the shape Of cold meats and delicate pastry and confec- | tlonery. The tables were as elegantly set as silver, cut glass and antique china could make | them.
 l At one end of the hall candy stall dId thriving trade under the direction of more continental ladies' and not far distant hot chocolate was served up by two blooming lasses that might, to all appearances, have stepped out of some picture of the olden times expressly for this occasion. In the center of the hall floral bower was presided over by & young lady and hundreds of boutonerres" l were sold therefrom And nm o, tbo .+.no was sugar-camp-hot maple wax on ice, and hot sugar-"Brother Jonathan with his trous- CTS strapped down and bell-crowned hat, = waiter girls G-la- Gyp$y, an orchestra consist ing of two violins and ''bones," tin carkey exhibited as shadow pan tomime clog dancer 1 and-hold on, we wont say anything more except that the little folks had similar enter tainment on Thursday afternoon and, best of all. the receipts were about $500.
 OTHER THINGS. as "Kit" had a fair house last Saturday evening Music Hall was crowded Monday evening, with towns people and others from Wo,cottville, New Hartford, Collinsville, and other places to hear the Hvers Sisters troupe in ''Uncle Toms Cabin," which they rendered in very accept able manner. Winsted is rejoicing over the fact that the houses can't get lost now as they are all numbered. Each of our pastors now delivers a lecture Sunday evening, and as each is about equally capable and popular, it is hard to decide which to go to hear As a specimen of these lectures wefgive the subjects for the last Sunday evening: "The first chapter of Genesis, by Rev Mir. Hallock ; | "Our Schools: our system of common schools and parochial schools" by Rev. Mir Pullman; Sources of Crime, by Rev. Mir. Lee.-Mr. w. A.

PLYMOUTH SKETCHES NO. 358. Again 1 must acknowledge relnssness in forwarding news items. I will de the best can for, you in that line, yet may occasionally fail during the next few months. l In St. Peters parish the Sunday School offerings for the year ending at Easter, amounted to nearly forty dollars, which, with the previous years contributions, are to go towards the purchase of an organ for the spec. 1 ial benefit of the school. A melodeon that has done service many years will be retained for use in the basement, or chapel. On Monday, the 9th, our center schools again commenced, with the same teachers who have served here through several last previous 1 terms.
 On Monday evening, the 5th our Read ing circle closed it's sessions for the season, and stands adjourned to the first Monday in September. The concluding exercises of it's 5 last meeting consisted of drama entitled "A change of base" The actors were Misses Martha Hillard and Rebecca Ledger; Frank s. Kelsey and Samuel Beardsey
 On Tuesday evening" the 9th, the members male and female-of the Willing Helpers society of St. Peters parish met at A. c. Shel. tons; the gathering having reference to the proposed new organ for the Sunday school.
 On Wednesday evening, the 7th, occurred the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of MT. and Mrs. Albert c. Gaylord. There should have been some demonstra ton on such an in- teresting occasion; but the time passed off quietly. probably for the reason that no one volunteered to start bloom" for the aged couple!
 On the 18th, 14th 18th, fire ragged in the woods of this and two or three adjacent towns where they join together on our south eastern boundary.
 -On Friday evening, the 18th, the "Willing Helpers held meek tie" festival at the Town Hall. The net proceeds amounted to some twenty dollars, which are to be applied towards the new organ.
 At Democratic caucus held on Friday evening the 18th, Albert c. Gaylord, and Timothy B. McNamara. were appointed dele gates to the coming State Convention.
 March seemed 10th to depart when his time was out. The old blusterer has been "hazing around" in April, and it will be noth- ing strange if the latter should be ''hazing" iu this vicinity in May! PLYNoTHEAN.

Nr. Editor-Did you have one of our old fashioned thunder showers in Lltchfield last night: We had one here on & grand scale. For two hours or more the lightning was play ing necessarily almost and the thunder was near and heavy. The wind beat the rain, and at times hail, against the window panes in & lively way.
 On Sunday, the 4th inst, house was 1 struck by lightning, in an adjoining town, 1 while the family was seated al the breakfast table Report says the furniture was nearly all smashed, the crockcry on the table broken, | hole torn through the side of the house and 1 damage of various kinds done to the amount l of $12OO Yet strange to say, no one in the house was seriously injured. Last summer. after came here, there was very little thun- der, and remarked the contrast between this place and yours in that respect, but I con clude from latter observations that the contrast is not SO great after all.
 My attention has been called recently to branch of industry that might be taken up with pleasure, at least, and 1 doubt not, with
 
 A citizen of this village owns a lot near small stream that flows from the springs at nu great distance. He has constructed several small reservoirs connected with one another and with the stream by suitable pipes, and now he he has his trout in his own yard Last season he had his ponds well stocked, but one morn. ing he found most oi his fish dead Investi- gation showed that the water had become con- taminated by the refuse from the Creamery farther up the stream. He lost $500 trout. of which 1900 would weigh from one fourth of pound to a pound and quarter each.
 Nothing daunted by this misfortue he com menced again, and now has fine lot of speck- led beauties that he feeds daily It is mat ter of pure love for the fish that prompts him. He has never sold trout from his pond or taken one for the table.
 The past winter he arranged very simple apparatus for hatching the spawn of trout in his cellar. He succeeded in matching about D per cent of the eggs.
 Some care had to be bestowed upon them daily to supply water from the we'll, and to transfer the young fry to suitable boxes with running water His success demonstrates that it is practicable matter to greatly increase the | supply of this excellent food and game fish at no great expense. f o- '- have been interested ill your reports of progress Tn school matters in Litchfeld Am glad to see that the teachers are having fre- auept meetings for consultation and discus sion, and regret that the measure was not in- augurated before. I hope this is only the be- gining Of good things for the schools of old Litchfield .. This continuity is just now good deal | moved over the question of union graded | school The call is out for the meeting of ! those interested, a week from to night. 1 suppose vote will then be taken upon the ! question. and am afraid there will not be so much unanimity of feeling in the case as there I should bein measure so important to the prosperity and interest of all classes in the place.
