There is good reason to believe that
this will be as pleasant an affair as any
of the many dances which have been

probably draw the dancers in large
force.

The fourth excursion from Rut-

The night New York express was
thrown from the track little way be-
yond New Haven, at about $3.50 Mon
day night. The train consisted of bag
gage, sleeping and ordinary coach, and
was going round curve when the &C
cident occurred. From some cause the
rails had opened enough to derail the
tenter, which broke from the engine
and was followed by all the cars, which
tore the track up for some distance, and
were landed in the ditch considerably
damaged. Fortunately no one on the
train was injured.
"A communication for publication
comes to us from Cornwall, with only
the signature "Friend' subscribed. Ii
appears to be written in good faith, and
we should be most happy to insert it,
but we cannot because 10 responsible
name accompanies it. We wish every
person favoring us would remember to
always give us his name. We do not
want the name for publication, but
simply to assure us Of the writer's good
faith. In the above case, though the
ought to be inserted in
this issue to produce its intended effect,
we have no means of knowing that it is
not an intended "sell" upon us or
others, and do not propose to shoulder
the responsibility of publishing it alone.
Verify the world moves! One
evening last week, as we were coming
out of the post Office, we noticed quite
a gathering of ten or fifteen boys near
by. Soon four or five of the number
started out from the crowd, accompa-
led by little colored lad, nine or ten |
years old, and went toward the bridge. |
We asked some of the crowd that were |
left what was going on? The reply |
was that they found the little colored |
boy in wagon under the meeting
house shed, cold and hungry, not hay
ing eaten anything since morning.
These boys asked him to get out, and
sufficient money was raised to buy him
a supper. Boys who have comfortable |
homes and enough to eat, who begin to
cultivate and put in practice the true
spirit of benevolence like that will
grow mp and make better citizens, and
many of Gods unfortunate children
will rise up and call them blessed.
