 held by the congregation of St Rose on
 their church grounds, the Fourth ofJuly. The
 different committees appointed are now anx-
 iously and busily engaged. preparing for the

 tween l2 married and F unmarried men, to-
 gether with various kinds of amusementS for
 boys and girls. There will be refreshments
 or all kinds to satisfy the taste of every per
 son. The ladies of the congregation are now
 engaged in their respective culinary depart
 ments, preparing all kinds oi edlbies and del icacies for the pleasure of visiting friends Marriageable young men are bound to partake freely ot these delicious dishes, with a view to future contingencies.
 @ ahsle s ane wy ean n9 aora t pleasure of those who desire to indulge in the terpsichorean art and bow politely to thelI partners, as the Fourth of July reminds us o1 the proclamation of Independence, the proc lamation that makes every citizen ruler and a king. The people, mindful of this great fact are always ready and anxious to testify their gratitude and their thanks on each recurring Fourth of July. This they generally do by as semblug in places of innocent amusement where families and friends meet to congratu l late each other and the youth to make new | friends and acquaintanceS.
 l Another consideration should also interest the citizens of Newtown who feel interested l in the improvement of the appearance of this historic town, whose salubrious atmosphere invigorates many a weary system. The prof l it's great or small, realized from the picnic are to be devoted to tue improvement of the church grounds and, as this is the first place of note that strikes the stranger and the friend ly, health seeking visitor it behooveth all cit l izens and residents of the town to have tht place look as beautiful as possible, as first i'm pressions are difficult to efface.
 l Again the society extends acofdial welcom, 1 to all to come and partake of the pleasures and amusements provided for the Fourth 0 l July We hope that the weather may be pro | pitious and that all who attend the picnic ma, | enjoy a most excellent and a most agreeabl' l time.

The Legislature of 1889 has indelibly stamped itself the creature of the Con- solidated railroad and the Consolidated Legislature will pass for it's official title. It preserved it's character to it's latest breath, incorporating parallel line to the Housatonic from Westport to flaw leyville, although utterly refusing to think of parallel for the Consolidated. The true inwardness of this railroad grip would be an interesting, if disgraceful, chapter of State history and this session can thank itself for having done much to bring our State Legislature into popular contempt.
