MT. and Mrs. R. J. Orr, of Spring

ous, is sight not very pleasant to see or contemplate.
 There was large attendance at the husking bee at John l.. Jones's, in Ash ley Falls, last week, and several from this village were present. We did not learn whether the traditional 'sred ear" made up any part of the sport; but we do learn that good supper was pro- vided, and the ''shucking" wound up with dance.
 A party of neighbors and friends paid their respects, last Saturday even- ing, to MT. & Mrs. N C. Ward. Of course they had very enjoyable time. An event of this kind is noteworthy be- cause it is so unusual in this latitude to see any sociability or anything of the | social order, that when an event of this kind bursts upon an astonished com munity, it deserves to be recorded.
 MT. Joseph w. Peet left here Mon day, on an extensive tour through the west and south, in company with MT. A. N. Hawley of Hawleyville. MT. Flaw ley is connected, we believe, by marriage with 0. P. Huntington, one of the rail road kings of the country. MT. Peet has promised us some notes by the way, and as he is practical business man we think they will be of interest to our readers.
 Tt is proposed to change the high way running past Pierce, Lawrence & Co.'S lime kilns, by running. it up the ravine south of the kilns, coming out at the small house this side of the swamp, thus avoiding the danger of blasting in the quarries. It is good idea and if similar change could be made at the Barnes lime kilns, it would be consum- nation devoutly to be wished-at least by those who have to travel that way.
 At recent gathering of friends at the home of Mrs. Geo. Ives, at Ashley Falls, on which occasion 8 present was made, note accompanied the present which explains itself, and which is as follows: "Will Mrs. Ives please accept this chair as slight token of our appreciation of her kindness and labor in our choir and Sabbath school. With the kind regards and best wishes of her
 FRIENDS. |"

 A fatal accident occurred on MT. Frank Spurs place, Salisbury, last Thursday. A young man i've were not able to learn his name) was standing be- tween the team and wagon trying to replace bottom board of the wagon which had worked forward. His efforts in some way, frightened the team, which dashed away at furious speed dragging him four or five rods until the wagon struck post and disengaged it. He received injuries in the chest and back, from which he died.
 According to announcement, Mrs. Chandler, corresponding secretary ot the Womens' Board of Foreign Missions, addressed the society at the Methodist Church, Sunday evening. Mrs. Chan dler is very pleasant speaker, and is thoroughly infused with her subject Having travelled over Japan, China, and India, she speaks of what she has seer :. and heard. She gave several vivid illus trations of the superstitions and misery in these lands of heathen darkness. Al who failed to hear her missed an address ringing with soul-stiring eloquence.
 Donald T. Warner Esq.,, son O Judge Warner of Salisbury was married to Miss Hattie Wells, at the residence Ol NIT. 00OISO ID. 14d1I1SOu, AohOfA1C last Wednesday. Only the relative , and personal friends were invited, bu many handsome souveniers were re t ceived on the occasion. The question 7 is, whether the interesting correspon dence of 'sDelectus," which our reader will remember, had any thing to d.
 with a consummation so devoutly to b s wished. Law and literature make good - but in these days rather an unusua h combination.

 N. W. Watson lost one on two succes
 sive. nights out of valuable flock, 0
 the old Watson farm, last week. Tn e depredator was probably some sneakin whelp who had escaped the ''etern' vigilance" of dog officer Smith. We've le mind, he will come to grief yet. TIT > wicked fall into their own nets in tl
