The PouShkeepsfe Bridge

The Poughkeepsie Bridge is rapidly approaching completion. Before Sept. first men will walk over the whole bridge from Duchess to Ulster, and less than a month after that the bridge proper will be ready for the laying of the rails.
 At the eastern extremity eff the bridge approach, in the town of Poughkeepsie, a large gang of men Is also at work on the railroad towards Silvernail's Bridge Thus it appears that the Hartford < Conn. Western R. R. extension is actually being built notwithstanding the New York X Massachusetts road threaten to build parallel line through Berkshire county.

l.ARkEVILLE E..

The great attraction in our quiet will age the past week has been Differs band which has filled the grove with sweet strains morning and evening. Now that the players have returned to New York, it seems quite dull. Numbers of people came in from the surrounding country every day to enjoy the music. The beauty of the lake by day and the pret- tily lighted grove at night enhanced the pleasure of the entertainments. Tues day evening being stormy, the concert was given in the large pavilion in the grove to comparatively small but en- thusiastic audience. On Wednesday evening no regular concert was given, to the disappointment of many, but at about half past nine the band commen- ced to play for the gay company of in- vited dancers. and the entertainment of spectators. Of the party on the floor the young men looked their brayest and the maidens looked their prettiest in beautiful evening costumes, and all danced in a most graceful manner. Fri day there was the largest attendance at the concerts of any day; in the evening an extra train ran out from Winsted for the accommodation of those who wished to hear the music. That night as the people were leaving the grove, an ex- citement occurred. Mrs George Dodge, after going to the excursion train to bid good bye to friends from Norfolk, start ed to walk down the track from the grove to the village. In crossing the Hume instead of walking over the bridge in the darkness she walked into the water between the tracks. Fortunately the pond was not very deep here, assist ance was soon rendered, so that no in jury was sustained except slight bruises and fright. On the morning of the same day, Harry Nightingale met with somewhat similar accident. While playing on the large dock, he fell into the lake and sank, the water being quite deep at this place. There happened to be someone near however who rescued him. The final band concert was to have been given Saturday at 3 o'clock, in the grove, but the violent thunder storm prevented, and the farewell strains hoated out over the lake and village from the piazza of the Wononsco House; after which the musicians were taken to Nlillerton in time for the early morning train to New York All who enjoyed this rare musical treat join heartily in thanking those who were in- strumental in bringing the Diller band to Lakeville. .... The M. E. Sunday school of this place joined by the Ore Hill Sunday school went to Twin Lakes on picnic last Wednesday, August 1. The day following there was 8 picnic from New Hartford, in Holleys grove.
