 There was an informal meeting of the re- sidents of the upper end of the village at MT. Robinson's on Tuesday afternoon to take into consideration the introduction of water into the village. A committee was appointed to invite an eminent engineer to come up here and ad- wise in reference to the project.
 The display of mourning draperies by our citizens, upon receipt of the news of the death of the President, was very general and many showed considerable originality in their ar- rangement. Mrs. Watsons draping of the Mansion House" was particularly noticeable for the good taste displayed, and that upon the Public School House was very effective. The Danbury Fair, Oct. Sth, inclusive, promises its usual great success. The open- ing of the N. Y. tS N. E. R R., direct to Fair grounds, and the close connections made by regular trains of the Shepaug R. R., will enable persons along the lattEr road to be on the Fair Grounds from SIS, a. n., till 4:13 p. III. This is much more convenient than ever before. Both roads sell excursion tickets at very low rates.

In order not to have his per- sonal appearance misunderstood, the editor oi the Enquirer came out, last week. in favor of No License. However, should the people of Ltchfeld decide to hold temperance meet. ings it would be good idea to place Brother Hickox in prominent position on the plat. form as an Awful Example. .-NeO Ailford Gazette.
 Too late The microscopic eye of our great optical phenomenon could not detect a trace /cf that telltale color. Rum uses more dura- b!e colors. Just as much obliged to the Ga. zette for the nomination, though.
 On Monday morning, strange anima was discovered among Mir. Everett H. Wright. cows on the hill meadow near his house ir Milton. It was found to be a deer. Five ol six neighbors were notified who circled around as so to cut of it's retreat, in hopes it might be driven with the cows into the yard; but, aftel taking few turns, and seeing how matter, were tending. it broke through the line skip ped the walls, and darted into the woods. Ii was about as large as four months colt, no very wild. and could easily be approached within few rods.
