 A fatal accident occurred here on Thursday last. Daniel Crowley, a young man in the employ of the Kent Iron Co., while working with many oth- CTS on the new dam across the Housa- tonic r1ver at the furnace, fell with a decayed log on which he stood, into the river. The men, supposing he could easily swim out, waited for him to rise, but he never came to the surface. At last one jumped in but the water was muddy and whirling and though all worked steadily, it was some minutes before he could be found and taken out. Great excitement prevailed. Dr King and others were on the spot as soon as possible and every effort was made to resuscitate him, but ill vain as life was extinct. It is thought that death was instantaneous, either by the shock of the water or by striking some timber or stone. MT. Crowley was a young man of steady habits, an excellent workman, pleasing in manner and we'll liked by his companions and friends. He was 23 years of age, leaves a wife and one child, also a sister who are almost incon. solable ln this sudden and terrible affiic, tion.

 their annual trot, September 9 and 10, 1884.
 Last Tuesday, August 19, was an en- joyable day for the people, young and old, of Falls Village and South Canaan. It being the annual Sunday school ex- cursion of the Methodist and Congre- gational churches. At about o'clock A. NJ. train consisting of four coaches we'll loaded with happy children and adults, and bountiful supply of pro- visions, started from Falls Village depot for Seaside Park, Bridgeport. The day was all that could be desired and the ride down was most delightful. We doubt if finer variety of scenery can be found than along the line of the Housatonic railroad. The train reach ed the park at about 10 o'clock, and our good ladies immediately took charge of the spacious pavilion and began the preparations for dinner, for having hao an early breakfast an early dinner wa' agreeable to all and 1t was served witt no sparing hand at abouteleven o'clock after which the remaining time wal spent in strolling through the park and taking in the pure sea breeze from the pavilion. Between 3 and 4 o'clock the party boarded the train for Falls Village which place was reached at about o'clock without an accident to anyone and all sending up the same verdict ''we had good time" It is pleasing to observe the unity of feeling existing between the churches of this town anC their hearty cooperation in every goot work; "Verily it is good for brethren tC dwell together in unity" Much credi is due to the untiring efforts of D Clemans and MT Preston Burnett fo the success of the union picnic. Angus 19 was the 34th anniversary of Mir ant Mrs Whiting G. Kellogg's wedding an' they celebrated the occasion by attend ing the excursion and picnic.
