Amateur Journalism i.


 Its Extent and Popularity-The Annual
 Meeting of New England Associatfon.
 The amateur papers that are published all over the country are more numerous than is commonly supposed. Almost every State has at least one paper within it's borders, and the number frequently reaches as high as fifty. Two years ago Connecticut alone had four teen papers. The main object of the embryo editor in publishing paper is to improve himself in composition, grammar, spelling, etc. Part of his paper is generally set of for original poems and sketches by amateur authors; and there is regular editorial page I in which the editor discourses and comments at. his pleasure. New England has always held 2 front place in the ranks. Two years | ago the number of papers fell of till scarcely | half a dozen were published. Lately, how ever, new papers have sprung into existence, or old ones have been revived, and the mum ber is increasing rapidly. Especially is this Il teur paper was published in the State. At present there are two in Danbury, two in l Waterbury, one in New London, with two others soon to appear, and two in this city. | The New England Amateur Journalists as- l sociation was organized at Boston in 1878. Its objects are to elevate the tone of amateur journalism in the United States, by offering prizes for the best edited and best printed pa per; to bring together the amateurs from the different States in fraternal intercourse; to give it's members opportunity to learn par Gamentary rules and the rules of de-
 hate. Its meetings are held semi-annually and are generally well attended. After the regular business meeting, literary enter
 tainment is given, consisting of poems, es says, sketches, etc., contributed by mem
 bers. The last meeting was held at Provi
 dence, R. l., and it was then voted to hold
 the next meeting at Hartford in January, 1882. This will be the first meeting held il
 Connecticut, and great interest is manifested
 in it by the amateurs of the State. There art over sixty members in the association, and ling, it is thought there will be good attend ance. It is probable that the old Connect
 cut amateur press association will be reorga nized after the adjournment of the New Eng
 lands meeting. Amateurs from Boston
 Warren, Springfield, New London, Danbury
 Waterbury and New Hayenl have signifei
 their intention of being present at the meet ings, which will be held in Knights O

Real Egtate Boom.

What Some Of the Dealers say-Here
 and Other Places.
 The general impression among our real estate dealers seems to be that the coming season will open something of bloom" in real estate They base the idea upon the following generaizations The shops are all running full time. Many shops have been running over time for long time. It is quite common sight to see naanufactories lit up in the evening, and some late at night. It is said that the great rubber establishment of l.. Candee 6 Go. was never in all it's his- tory so busy as it has been the last year, and never ran throughout year so continuously, or had more hands employed than the pres ent year. The same also in effect at Sargent & Go. s immense establishment. So Mallory, Wheeler 6 Co.'s great shop is busy place. So, too, with the immense clock establish ment, where they have been running twelve hours per day, and are making 'sstock" of clocks. So, too, at the folding chair shop they have been working evenings. The car riage shops are all busy and expecting big spring trade. The railroads are driven to death with freight, and freight train after AAOASh1 btuAA SOce uP 14O 1OdeA AOA& eA4A4 AodHA- ly laden. So the signs of business activity were apparent in the large Christmas trade of the past week. Many prominent mer- chants say their sales were ahead of last year-in some cases far ahead. The crowds out Christmas shopping meant business this year as last. There was of course great deal of looking, for the bland. warm October like weather was a great provocative to industry of this descrip- tion. The pocketbooks carried by some of the merchants is said to be plethoric with cur rent funds of the realm since the Christmas trade All this goes to demonstrate that there is more money afoat than there was. To be sure it is generally fact that wages are not up to the prices before the great de- pression which struck the country and from which the country began to emerge about two years ago. But families are getting bet ter situated, and the next thing is that real estate will be called for. The city is growing every day. The population is increasing Many new houses are being erected, but there is great demand for rents and in rents of a medium grade the demand far exceeds the supply. Therefore the dealers look for de- cidedly increased activity in real estate next spring The f'times are ripe, not for reyolu- tion, not for treason, stratagems and spoils," but for a ''boom"-such is the declaration of the more sanguine of those acquainted with the real estate market, and in fact the generally prevailing impression on the subject.

CINDERELLA AT SCHOOL.

Woolson Morse's musical comedy, s'Cin-
 derella at School with the exception of a
 lack of unison between orchestra and con-
 pany, was given in charming manner at the
 New Haven Opera House both yesterday
 afternoon and evening", and before large
 audiences, the opera house being filled in
 both instances to overhowing. The audi
 ences were simply delighted with the enter
 tainment, which, though tri1ing in charac- ter, is spright1y, replete with amusing situ-
 ations, and enjoyable throughout. The
 bevy of pretty young ladies arrayed in sum- mer costume well represented life in the boarding school, which in this case was fully attended by interesting firtations, watchful espionage and ridiculous discomftares, as also by solos, choruses and instrumental ! music. Miss Laura Joyce. leading oontralto, as ssMerope MaIlow,n proved engaging and fascinating, and the audience testified that she was favorite decidedly when bouquet was thrown her on the stage The
 telephone playing. particularly that of Miss 1 Sally Williams took the audience by storm, and again and again ssthe girlsn were com pelIed to favor them. Miss Isabel Evesson as Psyche Persimmons,n the sleepiest 6and also the prettiest) girl in the seminary, and Mss Liliie vinton as ssNiobe.' the friendless girl who marries Jack Polo, both won special favor.
 Business Manager Dorney and Mir. John Near are to be congratulated on the success of their Christmas entertainment in this city. Altogether there was $1, 200 taken for the two entertainments. Manager Dorney announces his intention of bringing
 to this city The Passing Regiment, the great
 success now running it's ninth week at
 Daly's bringing MT. Daly's full regular company.
