 Sundays Ice storm threatened a great deal of damage to the trees but nothing very serious resulted. There were great many gaps, however, in the telephone wires, espec- ially in the long lines over to Chestnut Hill. Gen. Upton, whose suicide occurred in California, last week, is we'll remembered by the soldiers of the Old Nineteenth. He was their brigade commander, and was with them in the terrible charge at Cold Harbor in which 50 many lost their lives, and took practical command of the regiment after Col. Kellogg was killed.
 The New Haven Journal and Courier has a very pleasant account of the semi-C Centenni- al of Dr. Bacon's ministry over the Center Church of that city. The Hon.

 Mir. Foster, of West Winsted, will be at the store of Vessels and Gates, on Monday next, with choice selection of foreign and domestic woolens, prepared to take orders for anything in his line. Persons wishing good custom work, should give him call and ex- anime the new line of Spring Goods he is pre- pared to exhibit. On Thursday evening last Mir. Mlnot de. livcred his lecture-"Our Country, Its Wealth and Character as Explored by Travel'-at the Congregational Chapel. It was we'll written, full of good hits besides giving us good deal of information regarding the country in the mountains this side of California, which he does not admire as much as most who have written descriptions of it. The fact is that ''puffng" is business which our brethren of the Far West understand and practice thor oughly. The residence of Mrs. Eliza Wllson, in Bethlehem, was burnt about midnight of Mon- day. The house, wood-house, and horse barn, were all destroyed. Nothing of much value was saved. Furniture, clothing, provisions hay, grain, wood, all were burnt, and we do net hear of any insurance. The fire caught in a defective chimney and was under such headway when discovered that the family barely escaped. themselves. The house was occupied by Mrs. Wilson and her son-in-law, Mir. Scott. Loss about $4OOO. Mrs. Wilson is the mother of Mrs. Gov Andrews and is now staying with her daughter in this village The Hartford Times printers ought to be a little more careful about setting up cerres- pondence. Two Litchfeld items appear as follows:
 The year past seems to have been a rather hard one for New York milk dealers, and sev- eral of them are in arrears to producers in this section, and fears arc entertained of serious loss by many parties from Echo farm. The shipment of milk last Friday was the largest ever sent to New York, total of 2,000 quarts. Evidently the ''from Echo farm" is part of the following item. which should read, fFrom Echo farm the shipment of milk, last Friday" &c.
 Quite a number of prisoners have been brought in during the past month. Two per. sons have been sent from New Hartford and one from Winsted for drunkenness.
