REV ROBERT HUNTS LETTER.

DEAR NEws:-It does not seem quite correct not to see now and then an item from Lee in your excellent paper, y t since the fire fiends has taken his ,le- parture there is very little that Is sensa- tional to record.
 The frien Is of R. Hunt ma le him a pleasant do ation party in Memorial hall, Janua y 20th. There is much re- igional in crest prevailing in all the churches L,e. We are now holding revival services in the M. B church Several conversions have already taken place, and the work promises to go for ward.
 The sleighin is just perfect, and the fully bred horses, for which Lee is so widely famous, fly along the smooth streets with rushing speed.
 I noticed in one of your late issues the Florida news of the frost ravages, Florida is under temporary cloud. My sons loose all their vegetables and young trees, and yet am glad they are in Florida, and soon everything will begin to brighten there. R. HUNT.

LETTER FRo4 NEW MILFORD.

EDITOR NEws:-Quite an excitement pervaded one of the business places of our little town on Saturday last. Not few of our worthy citizens supposed another Saturday night sensation to be inevitable. In this case the circum- stances were reversed it being a"Birdie" who alignted from the 4:12 p. m. train, and made "timely" (?) swoop upon four youths, and one old gentleman, all very impossible. It is rumored that an elopement was h1nted at, but finally abandoned, doubtless, from want of courage on the part of the youths, tor was it the "Veteran?" Therefore, as the lady was said to be dauntless, we infer that ''Barkis'' was not 'swillin'. |" Everything went "contrairy" with her so she reluctantly returned, 'lone Torn creetur." Further than this, the sequel has not been told to us, nor have we ascertained, which was the ssmuch impressed" individual.
 The occurrence brought to my mind these words of an old song, entitled ''The Little Widow" viz: l ''She is cunning, sometimes witty, Free and easy. but not bold. l Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
 Not too young, and not too old" | Our advice is "Go Vest young woman, to wider field PEND.

DOUTHFIELD.

The donation for Rev A. N. Benedict, last week, was very good for him and very enjoyable for those who could and did attend. The amount raised was about $47 cash, besides some other necessaries. The Rev being under the weather, did not preach as usual last Sunday. We think the sight of so much money foored him. Won't some good folks make out another $50 that he may be encouraged to try to live among us longer yet.
 As neighbor Beebe has tried to make good weather lately, and failed, won't some other try their hand at guessing ? Perhaps several might among them get the larger part nearer right.
 The damp wind of the past few days must have blown the news away and we don't find much of it yet

Q show that in the muddling of politics. | he new element have caught several .Tartars" in some of the men for whom they worked and voted successfully, but whom they now wish they had rejected.

 A variety of manufacturing IS carried on in Norwalk, princi pally hating, large quantities of felt hats being manu- factured. two factories being run on the cooperative plan, an experiment which owes its inception to the strike, and which works satisfactorily. Straw hats are made here in large quantities.; we have also fancy cassimere and felt cloth factories, and factories for the produc- tion of locks, boots and shoes, stoves and ranges, shirts, corsets, pottery, wrap ping paper, etc. Lack of space would forbid even brief synopsis of the re- view which these establishment deserve.
 Of course even curtailed synoptical letter like this would be incomplete without an allusion to our moral status. We are blessed with @ goodly allowance of moral influence with healthy circu- lation through press, pulpit, sewing cir cles, etc., to say nothing of an aggressive battalion of the Salvation Army, that amusing old religious conundrum that nobody can solve as to its benefit or det- riment to the cause, the doubt hinging on the absurd naeans employed to secure | the end.

We have five weekly news papers and one monthly. The Gazea is the oldest in the town and among tn, oldest in the state, having been estab lished in 1900. It is staunch republi can journal. The Hour is an indepen dent paper, ably and lndepen dently edited. The Sentinel is demo cratic from the shoulder. One of it editors, James Golden, was few year ago proprietor of the Lee Cleaner, 8 fev miles north of you. The Mechanics Journal is trade journal devoted to tn
 interests of labor, and is one of the out comes of the late strike. The Republica, is 8 breezy, chatty sheet in good hands The Real Estate Journal is issued monthly in the interest of real estat
