DEFERRED LETTERS.
NEW PRESTON.

NEW PRESTON.
 Charles Patrill always wears pleasant smile upon his face, but we noticed on the morning of the 7h, that the grin was very per ceptibly broader and infinitely more expres- sive of internal joy than heretofore. We wondered at 1t, but our wonderment ceased when we heard that son was born to him. Mir Editor the back bone of our orches- tra is broke, the heart is taken, the care ex- tracted. We know not when we shall meet again. The sun and substance; the genius loci; the quietness the very hearts blood of our little band has taken wings and flown to the far west. H. Beeman, our uioIn primo, and Wm. Wooster our first flute, as will be seen, from letter, have gone west. Probably this will be the death of our famous orchestra, but we shall hold to remembrance dear the very pleasant meetings of the past, ..and trust they will fnd whersoe'er they roam, lovers of their art for boon con- panlons. Or if in the ''wilds by human foot ne'er trod,' they happen to locate, we know their music to be 90 charming that ''Tis said he had a tunefui tongue, Such happy intonation Whenever he sat down and sung He left small plantation; Wherever in lonely grove He set u.. his forlorn pipes, The gouty oak began to move. And founder into hornpipes." ..,r. .. Corn planting has commenced :peas are up; potatoes are sprouting oats and rye are looking fine cherry trees are in full bloom apple trees are coming on fast, and if an abundance of buds is any indication of fruit there will bo heavy crop. Suckers with rings about their necks are growing scarce, and wading the Sucker Brook is becoming, for this season, obsolete. Grass looks well and all things bespeak prosperous year, for farm work is we'll advanced, because there never was better two weeks than the past for the hardwerking, jolly agriculturist to ''sow the seeds by the daylight fair" There's somewhat msddens me just BOW | I'm mad as I can be !!
 The livelong day curse and groan. Night has no sleep for me. cannot take my rest but moan In mortal agony.
 It is no night mare makes me rave. It is no lunacy.
 | Tis not because I failed to be Elected judge this year -er.. Iris not because some bank may fail lL For that do not fear. sj s@. My family, too, are all quite we'll And mourn to see my grief ..- But o, no office, wife child, Can give my soul relief It's not that bad investment which made two months ago. Tho busy gossipers swarm round And say, sT told you so !" Iris not their talk, An, no not that which makes me madiy rave,-
 It's that oonfounded jumping mad, Hard aching tooth have!
 There are several petty lawsuits on the docket for this week, so petty and insignif- cant that they are hardly worth mentioning, yet they will cost the state and town neat little sums as they are nearly all .'state" cases, and more prosecutions are to follow prosecutions w ouOuiu udSC .eAtu 1u6 ul6tS 6ll came SO late this week that we shall be obliged to wait till next before we report. Meantime, excuse us, IS, we want to ask the Washing tonians never to point the finger of scorn at us any more, for, notwithstanding we are the most quarrelsome people on earth, we never yet had a case at law in our midst quite 90 small as the 'louse case" at your hall last week. But, worst of all the Danbury News Bailey will laugh and make fun of you when he hears that up in Washington, last week, one citizen said another had those lovers of the human species, body lice, and got sued for islander, and It took two lawyers and half . days time to prove the citizen didn't lie about the other fellows possessions. There was nothing mean about the animals for they climbed up on the plaintiffs shirt collar and gave DC lar proof of their existence, which feat was ac ;epted as conclusive evidence, otherwise the defendant would have fared hard. Now, Judeans, don't turn up your noses, roll your eyes horrifedly back into your heads. and point scoruful finger at us any more! ....t Ina P.D.
