The Celebration.

Newscwn, ever stnid and quiet did nothing unusual In the way of celebrating the glorious Fourth. St. Roses Parish picnic was largely patronized and was the occasion Of visit from hundreds out side of the immediate village. The exer- 'cises were of 6 character to please all. and continued until late at night. The music of the Parish Drum Corps added much to the enjoyment. The weather was delight .ful, and the rain which fell in the after noon kept the dust lal |. St. Patrick's Hall afforded shelter for the great crowd.
 The usual amount of patriotism was displayed in Sandy Hook, and powder and noise dispensed with liberal hand. Many residences and places of business displayed flags, aud the village was lively all the day.

ing Dunbar from the lookup, the man keeping.
 Tuesday morning the prisoners wera taken before Justice k. N. Belts Jr. The principle witnesses were Carroll Ke!- lv, who had charge of Mir. Hammond's k horses during the winter, Charles $. Dur lam colored, George Reid and Helen Reid. Young Kelly said that saw the horse Sunday, June 20th, in the lot, and missed him the next Tuesday. The gist of the rest of the evcidence was, that on Sunday, June 20th, Dunbar and his wife came from Danbury, and called at Henry Edwards house, remaining until dark ; that when they left, George Reed and wife went with them in their wagon, which was tied on sbehiud of Dunbar's 's wagon, and on reaching MT. Hammonds house, the patty stopped, and the horse caught and hitched up to the wagon, and driven of. Reed and his wife says that Dunbar took the horse out of the lot and that tlrcy hitched it to their wagon. Dud- bar swears that Reed and his wife caught the horse, and that while they were do ing SO, he drove away to Danbury. Reed says that Dunbar traded Mir. Hammond's horse that very night, and that he gave Dunbar watch and two dollars for the horse that Dunbar traded old Charlie for. Dunbar denies all this. Justice Betts bound Reed over, under bonds of S200 and the woman in the sum of Sl00, and Dunbar the sum of S75. Reed and his wife so called. were taken to Bridgeport, and Dunbar to Danbury.

Good Advice.

VIEWPOINT, June 29th, 1880. To the Editor of The Bee:
 Am glad that you propose to cast your future with the BEE and prevent it from wounding anybody religiously or politi- caliy. Let the church and the politicians do the quarreling and the proselyting but fly the BEE in the interests of peace and local. Don't harass us with Credit Mo blier," but gorge us with local news from this and the neighboring districts. We get politics enough from every other pub lication that is issued. from a Tribune Almanac" to the straighte5t, strict est, orthodox weekly. We'll never object to anything from Zion, Zoar, Mt. Nebo or Palestine, so long as it IS unsectarian.
 Don't prevent the public spirit of the good people of our village to flag or sum- Der, and after you get d sidewalk from the street" to the Hook" please order in the interest of humanity sprinkling cart for the benefit of the highway be- tween those points. Then can the enthu- siastic ones get out tho NewtOwn ord- nance and fire a salute over an event of some significance. Urge the contractors who repair highways to cut the bushes and trim the trees that overhang and ob- struct carriages. Organize brigade of young 'Davids" during school vacation to "sling" the small stones out ofiustead of into the public streets; gives us lit tle cooler weather and an occasional shower if it be consistent with the mis- sion of strict neutrality, and keep the BEE as it assumes to be, medium for news.

Tho Country Week for 1880.

"Inssmuch ye have done it unto ono of the least of these. ye have done it unto me-
 Since its inauguration in 1875. the '"Country Week" under the auspices of the Boston Young Mons Christian Union, has sent Into tho country. for vacations of a week or longer periods. over thirty seven hundred children.
 The work has steadily grown from one hundred and sixty in 1875. till last year thirteen hundred and twenty shared its benefits.
 The children are carefully selected from among those who would not otEer wise have an opportunity of enjoying ,he | pleasure which a short visit to the coun- try adds to the life Of every child.
 The best results have attended those instances where children have been re- ecived Into families as guests. and have thus boon brought more directly under the rennisg influences of home life unlike their ow... Many instances could be given of the good done the children by ouch visits. and many times have homes opened of their own accord for lengthon- cd and return visits.
 Agents of the Country Week" have met with cordial response to t'elr et- forts to secure such invitations in the places that they have been able to visit. and many invitations for the children have already been received. As it would be impossible to visit every town, the committee in charge would ask those who road this article. who feel willing to aid in the good work by receiving into their homes one or more of these little ones for ten days during July and August. to ssnd their names and the number and ages of children preferred to the secre- shry. Miss H. G. Putnam, IS Boylston atreet. Boston. who will cheerfully fur nish any furt.er information desired. Chiidr~n will bc sent and returned free of expense.

Tho stolen Horse.

For several days past. Sheriff Aaron Sanford. and his Deputy, Wm. H. Glover.
 have been at work hunting for the parties whe stolc the horse belonging to Mr, D. II. Hammod. Sunday last, Sheriff San ford and Glover went out iu search, but could not hear of. or see any of the sus- pscted parties. Early Monday morning Shsrir Glover went to the house of Heh- ny Edwards looking for some one to work for him: and finding no one that he wanted to see. returned toward home. and at the cornor of Col Wright's house down Purgntory street; these he follow sd over Mt. Pleasant as far as Mr. Burr's house and lost them. He continued on to Danbury. and by dint of hard work succeeded In learning that Il man named Milton Dunbar. colored. whom he had reason to suspect knew something of the -etolen horse. and the parties he was In ~snt of. had yone to Dodglngtown to col ored picnic. He accordingly turned from Dsnbury. and to the store of Mir. k. D.. Shepard In Dodgingtown. He had not boon thcre long. when Dunbar and another colored man drove up. Deputy Sheriff Glover made known to Dunbar his desire % hsvo him go to Newtown with him, and Dunbar finding that he was in for It, bsxsn to tell all he professed to know.
 Dunbar was brought to Newtown aud put in the lookup. At this time. Shcrifr sanford was busy hunting for colored man and wifo @ named George and Hell an Rs-si. who werc up in the vicinity of New Milford and Kent. They were fnal- ly arrested in New Milford. and brought = Newtown on tho milk train. accoinpa- aied by E ,eriil Sauford. and after remov.

Statement of Mir. Washington Monroe, of Catskill,
 Greene County, N. I.
 For many years I had suffered from 8 complaint which the physicians called Gravel. had employed some of the most noted doctors without obtaining any per- manent relief, and for long time my case was regarded as hopeless. All who knew the circumstances said I must die. Finally, my wife induced me to try Q bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, which she had somewhere heard of or seen advertised Without the slightest faith in it, but solo- ly to gratify her, I bought bottle.of a druggist in our village. used that and two or three bottles more, and-to make a long story short-I am now as healthy a man as there is in the country.
 "Since then I have recommended Fa- vorite Remedy to others whom knew to have suffered from Kidney and Liver com plaints; and, I assure the public, that the Favorite Remedy has done it's work with a similar completeness in every single in- stance, and trust some other sick and dis- couraged mortal may hear of it and try the Favorite Remedy as did" lO

 Deut. 4-32:
 For ask now of the days that past
 INrRoDucroEy.
 This brief sentence of nine monosylla- bles is from the farewell address of Mo- ses to the Israelites. It is concise, sen- tentious, uggestive; and as 1t falls upon our oars on this occasion, it seems as full of meanin as when originally spoken in the land of Moab 5000 years ago.
 We are met 10 think of the past: to recall scenes and events which long ago became a portion of history, and to bring ourselves. in imagination,' at least, into contact with our foIefathers and prede- cessors. You have, perhaps, seen the wire of an electric battery or telegraph brought into connection with another wire; instantly the subtle fluid (about which the world knows littlo but thinks mucH) flows from wire to wire; the cur rent conveys thought and by simple but ingenious machinery is made to register thought. It brings you messages from distant places, it shows you the secrets cf the heart. it stirs your soul with it's tidings of joy and sorrow, it links you with all climes and all men. You talk to it and 1t talks back. You ask it ques- tions and it answers you. The Past. the great historical Past, about which our text speaks is like such battery; it is charged, surcharged with messages it is full of whisperings; it has many stories to tell, much instruction to give, but we are so absorbed ill the Present that we heed not its voice. We arc isolated from 1.-the connection is broken. We call the past dead and we say let history be its tomb; but the past is not dead Lit lives, it speaks, and when We connect ourselves with it, it, too, like the telegraph, flashes the thoughts of the ages into our minds. It tells of empires that have risen and fallen, of nations that have been born and have died. of the millions who have come on to the stage, acted their parts, and passed away; these all como out of

mines: In the northern portion Of our
county is q belt of mountain. known to

quartz lodges have been traced for
miles by prcspec.ors. who give il a
their positive opinion that II is the
same mineral belt which has been die
covered on the Skagit. Wbers these
iedges have been opened and worked
they have yielded rich re,urns to- the
adventurous miner. They all take the
same general course, and possess the
characteristics Of . true fissure vein.
As far - these veins have been traced
they lead in the direction OF the Skavit.
and hence the belief OF hid prospec,or
that Yakima possessed the same m,u.
erai belt as that discovered on the
Skagit. Experience and geology botL
teach that mineral hedges always follnw

and hence the facility with which they
are traced Judging from these fact.
