 New Haven gentleman says: Last Sun day at Rockaway Beach was in violent con trast to the Sundays that this favorite metro politan watering place has hitherto had for weeks past, and instead of the usual merry, jostling crowd, the beach presented wild and desolate aspect. The wind from early Saturday afternoon had been blowing hard gale, and, figuratively, the wind had piled up the seas mountains high," which broke on the beach in terrible grandeur and with a roar that made it almost impossible to con verse. The rain fell in torrents and the place looked like deserted city. So rough was the weather that not one of the monster steamers that ply to Reckaway ventared from their moorings, and the hotel and restaurant keepers, who have hitherto been made glad with favorable weather, looked out disconso lately from their hostelries with sad and roubled visafes, and felt that for this year, at least verify their days were numbered. Three card monte men were invisible, their occupation was gone, and of all places this beach the Museum alone seemed to do any business This we visited and whiled away an hour amid the curiosities. all of which seemed to wear saddened look, no doubt on account of the weather. We understand this place to be run by Connecticut man, and it does him credit. A finer show for the money we never saw. Some things are ridiculous, others good and the large collection of wax figures very fine and evidently the work of an ar l tist. On returning to New York we found that on account of the terrible weather some of the railroad trains had been abandoned On the whole, although the ocean in it's fury was grand sight we don't want to spend
 another rainy Sunday lon the beach at Rock away"
 The hop given by Superintendent Steven son Saturday evening last at Dicks Hotel, Newtown, is thought the finest affair of the kind that ever before occurred in Newtown The house was crowded to overfowing, and
 the merry party took possession of the din ing room, main hall, office and piazza for
 dancing purposes, and the refreshments were served under the grape arbor. The front of
 the hotel was mass of Chinese lanterns, one
 form being that of diamond, in the center of which hung the American flag, suspended in
 a manner to form a canopy over the entrance of the hotel. The whole affair was pronounced
 by all who participated a grand success, and many are the thanks extended to Mr
 Stevenson for giving fine an entertainment
 to the guests of Dicks Hotel and his many
 friends that were present from Bridgeport,
 New Haven and New York. Music was by
 five pieces from the well known Howe orches-
 tra, of Bridgeport. Sacred music Sunday
 evening tested the skill of the leader, Mir.
 Eyer.
