SOUTH CANAAN.

The people of this vicinit. have been greatly excited during the past week over lost boy. Henry Howe took boy from the Home at Winsted during the past winter. who proved to be steady, faithful little worker. On Tues day forenoon of the past week he went out to fix fence on the hillside, taking an axe with him to cut pole. Nothing was heard of him until about nine that evening, when he appeared at Charles Hanchett's, wet, cold and hungry, and said he was lost that he had not seen a house since he left. They dried his clothes, kept him through the night and in the morning the hired man start ed him on his way home, the boy ex- pressing his anxiety to get home early as MT Howe was away, and he should of him is lost. He seems to have utterly were followed he seems to have gone Jack on the mountain again. A party was organized for thorough search on Friday, and another on Sunday, when about Q hundred men were out bit wholly without result. The prevailing idea is that he, either from accident or from fatigue end exposure to cold. be- came bewildered and wandered away LATER. Richardl lCurtis, the boy who has been lost for a week, was found on Tues
 day. wandering on Canaan mountain. by Mir Hiram Woodin. He attempted to return home the morning he left MT Hanchett's but got frightened anu be- wildered again and returned to the mountain where he has wandered for 8 week. living solely on berries and water. He seemed very glad to get back, and MT Howe's family gladly received him. The Rev Mir Nichols, Christian work CT from Hartford. held meeting in this church on Tuesday evening and also officiated on Sunday afternoon in the absence of the pastor, Rev c. W. Hanna, who is attending the conven- tion at Minneapolis. He is a very earnest and impressive speaker and his whole heart seems to be in his work Having is being vigorously pnshed, in spite of rather unfovorable weather.

EXCURSIONS TO LAKEvILLE.

About 1000 people assembled on the shore of Lake Wononscopomac at Lake vile last Saturday afternoon to witness the aquatic exhibition of Paul Boyton and company. Fully 25O0 came by rail. The excursion train from Pouehkeepsie brought 13 cars. The Winsted delega- tion consisted of 12 we'll filled cars and was known as the Winsted e1cursoin. The excursion train from Hartford and way stations also brought 12 cars of people. All the regular train from each direction were also we'll filled. The weather was delightful and the aquatic exhibition was carried out according to the advertised program. The exhibi- tion boat race between Wallace Ross and Harry Vail was quite interesting. The polo game on the water by three men wearing large boat-like shoes on their feet was very amusing. Capt Paul Boyton, the water wizard, dressed in his rubber suit and performing various feats in the water, was however the prin cipal attraction. The naval battle be- tween two ships was pretty scene and the spectacle of the blowing up of one of them by dynamite closed the exhibi- tion.
 General Passenger Agent Hayes has reason to be proud of his success in getting up said excursions to Lakeville. In point of numbers no such crowd has assembled at Lakeville since June 20th, 1883, when Montgomery Lodge No 13, F. X A. M. celebrated it's centennial. We doubt if since said date the c. N. B. x W. road has carried more passengers in one day than it carried last Saturday. MT Hayes, Supt. Fowler, and Train master Hook were at Lakeville directing the movement of the trains and looking after the comfort of the passengers. The crowd was an orderly and quiet one and no accident occurred to mar the occasion, yet the delay experienced by some of the excursionists in reach ing home was very exasperating. The Winsted Citizen says:
 In the manner of getting home at night, the arrangements could have been much better The tumble at Grants station ought to have been pre- vented. A freight train holding two big trains with 170O passengers In the woods for more than an hour Is good object lesson to make people tired of excursions. The Winsted train left Lakeville at $50, and it reached the Naugatuck station at 1915. Hundreds of people gathered at the depot, for all sorts of wild rumors were rife. and much anxiety was felt by the people of Win sted, in consequence of the rumors of an accident which was reported to have taken place.
