 Mir. Minott Augur, the genial Sandy Hook market man, came right up to the BEE office and gave us an exhibition of his skill as a gymuast, and for good back somersault tumbler we score Minott one. It was very amusing to the lockers on. It occurred by his horse starting up at time when he was not anticipating move, and the cons equence was that the wagon seat tipped suddenly over. Minott was rewarded by a hearty laugh, and he acknowledged it by graceful bow.
 An egg of very peculiar properties was brought into this office by Conductor Elm mons. It was rather below the ordinary size and its peculiarity consisted in the fact that one end was so much heavier than the other that no matter in what position 1t was placed it would roll around and ultimately assume perpendicular position. The greater weight Of one end was very apparent merely from handling and was further demonstrated by the re- suit of the gyrations it went through when laid upon flat surface. Those who examined it pronounced 1t curiosity the like of which they had never before seen. The egg Is production of hen owned by Mir Wm. J. Dick, of Newtown. -Fdrmer.
 The boom In dry goods has now reached silks. W. B. Hall < Co. were as we'll prepared on those as on cotton goods, and advertise black silks at old prices. The Naugatuck Valley Sentinel thus speaks Of that house:
 "It Is an i'll wind etc. The plucky dry goods house of Messrs. W. B. Hall X | Co. seems to be on the tidal wave to for tune. Commencing business as they did i'll the fall of 1878, they bought their | stock at the extreme low prices and have, since their opening, been constantly in- creasing their business. Early in the fall with great foresightedness they com menced buying up cotton goods, linens, | and caahmeres, and are now selling them at the old prices although the goods | have advanced from Is to 10 per cent. People who go to Bridgeport should not 1 fail to visit the successful house of w. B. Hall X Co.
