 Brakeman Win. Spencer, of Conductor Lanes passenger train, has been enjoying two weeks vacation, and is now relieving baggage master Howard Arnold. while the latter rusticates. By the way, Billy went fishing during his furlough, and-well he's pretty good at telling fish stories, himself.
 Editor A. L. Cheney, of the Bridgeport Eagle, made us brief but pleasant visit yesterday and in looking about the village, expressed himself well pleased with it's ap. pearance and the surrounding scenery Cheney is bashful fellow, which is fact of all newspaper men, but he possesses the faculty of making himself at home wherever he goes.
 Rev Dr. Eddy Is announced to deliver lecture in Village Improvement Hall, on Tuesday the 25 inst, on "Push, and Clear Grit" The simple announcement that Dr. Eddy is to speak is usually sufficient to fill the hall to overhowing, and when subject like the above is announced as his text, it is safe to predict house crowded with an attentive and intelligent audience. Every body likes to hear Dr. Eddy's sound, plain and "straight-ffom the. shoulder" arguments, and the fund of logic which he will be able to draw from his subject will unquestionably amply repay those who attend.
 The singing of MT. Howard Smith in the concert last Thursday evening was warmly applauded and will be the means, no doubt of enlisting hearty cooperation in his ef- forts to establish a singing school in this place. A paper has already been drawn, and is being signed by those who agree to become his patrons and pay $500 for term of 20 lessons if not more than 20 pupils can be ob- tained or $2.50 for class of 40, and it is thought there will be no difficulty in securing class. The paper is at Camps drug store, where those who are willing to subscribe are requested to call, or they may leave their names with Rev. H. l. Bodley.
 The concert given last Thursday night in Village Improvement Hall' Gas the room on first floor of Town hall has been uamed), was pronounced one of the most successful en- tertainments ever given in behalf of the Vl- lage Improvement Association, every selection being rendered in fine style, and many re- ceiving hearty encores. The attendance was good, and the proceeds must have materially assisted in swelling the funds of the associa- ton. It is hoped that these entertainments will be frequently given during the coming season, as they not only provide pleasure for the long winter evenings, but also aid the worthy cause of village improvement. The programme Thursday night was as follows: Wedding March. Mendelssoha,

 The trial of Mrs. Julia Johnson (eolosedi of Sandtown, for shooting August teonay 8 few days ago, came before Justice Bennett last Monday, when all the witnesses for prose. cution were heard, and part of the witnesses for defense, ard the case was adjourned to next Monday at nine a. m. Roraback of this place appears for state; Clarke of Falls Village for defendant. From the evidence introduced Monday, it is quite apparent to the naked eye, that one side or the other is ly-we mean mistaken. The Boinays all tell straight story to show that Julia fired at them as they were passing quietly by the house, and the defense swear to a story just as straightforward, that the Boinays came to the house, insulted the occupants struck them, kicked out the windows and threatened to pull the house down, when Julia fired her pistol out of the window to frighten them of, and MT. N. Spaulding's who testified to hearing the noise of crashing window glass, goes to corroborate the story of the defense. It is case of ''veracity" or the lack of it, clear through, and the com munity hopes that simple justice may be done. After the adjournment sheriff Van Deusen arrested Cassimir Boinay and Alexander Boinay, the latter on two counts charging him with breach of the peace, and assault on Julia and Moses Hall, the former for sureties of the peace. The amount of bail was fixed at $500. which was quickly secured, and the trials are set down for next Monday before Justice Bennett,
 The death of Joseph Null, which oc. cured last Friday night. ended the life of one whose history is marked with hardships and vicissitudes, and seems almostlike romance. Born in Hungary, in 1881, of humble parent age, he left his home at an early age to par ticipate in the revolutionary war for the in- dependence of his country, joining the forces of the illustrious Hungarian statesman and patriot, Kussuth, whom he followed through victory and defeat, into exile in Turkey, and accompanied his party to America, where they arrived Dec 5, 1851. Shortly after hls arrival in this country he apprenticed him. self to gunsmith in New York city after. wards going into the interior of New York state, where he engaged in peeling bark in the employ of tannery. He came to this vicinity about the year 1858, and worked as collier in the mountains, stone cutter and farmer, until the breaking out of the Rebel lion, when he volunteered his services in the U. s. army, enlisting for three years in Com- pany F. of the Second Connecticut Heavy Artillery and was enrolled Sept. 2, 1862.
