The festival and lawn party at Joseph Treadwell's, Wednesday, June %, was a success in every respect. Everyone was unanimous in wishing for another at an early date. The fancy table was loaded with articles useful and ornamental and we must not omit among the many att fractions, the singing and playing by a party of young people from Bridgeport. The flying squirrels were great curios- ity. The supper was, as usual, all that could be desired. Hon D. N. Morgan and party, George Hawley and wife were among the number from Bridgeport. The owner of the lost hat band, WA. R., will find it at MT Treadwell's, where Les ter shelton will find the scrap vase he was the lucky guesser to win. The la dies decided to get more guesses on the

phen Beach's farm at $50 acre and the damage of layout to it $500, including 2.02 acres taken. If the hill was not graded, which he preferred, should favor spending money on the layout to please the residents, but, if built, Trumbull would have two roads to keep up. Se- lectman Orville s. Mallett showed why the town did not vote to cut down the hill when it voted not to build the layout, since the cutting down of the old road was not included in the warning and could not come before that meeting. He objected to new roads, as Trumbull has more now than it can care for, but would have cut hill down before this, if it had been in his part of the town. Stephen c. Beach testified that there was a perma- nent water supply on the north end of the layout and it would be impossible at certain times of year. There would be no trouble from water and ice on the old hill, which comes from the overflow of a we'll near Edwards Beach's, if the water was turned off the road. Never knew tIOuUiG lEOm SuOW Ou tfIS uill. OOuC one put shoes at top of hill, the day the committee was there, to prejudice them. Only Thomas Wilson commonly uses shoes there. Would give land necessary to straighten old road, but would ask $l00 acre for POP acres of layout and don't believe $2O0 an acre would buy any more of his land between there and the station. 300 feet of his stone wall would be taken, worth $2 rod and 10 or 12 apple trees, wild fruit, that average 10 bushels tree and pay him better than grafted fruit. He put the damage to his farm at 5000 Three less houses in Daniels Farm than there used to be, church gone and heavy carting less. Never helped but two loads up the hill. The man killed there was drunk and the hill had nothing to dc with it. Carted 75 to 100 loads of man
 ure up the hill, this year. Came into possession of land layout takes within g month, except lot and lane at south end
 His uncle an invalid for 20 years and has

Miss Gertrude Jelliff has visited friends in Mt. Vernon for more than week. On her return, Monday ,she had a very pleas ant surprise in the gift of a valuable bi- cycle, costing at least $135. Gertrude has for some time been the admiration of our villagers for her skill and grace in managing one of these machines.
 The M. E. pastor was invited to very pleasant Fourth of July picnic. There were present, besides the three Jennings families, Rev William Brown, wife and son and George Jennings. The fatted calf and some we'll grown chickens were killed and the vegetables prepared with rare culinary skill. The occasion was made especially delightful by the warmth of heart with which the guests were re- ceived. The ministers are very fond of these frequent forget-me-noGs that some times grow so luxuriantly in their parish gardens.
 The M. E. pastor desires to thank the young men for their gentlemanly salute on the early morning and evening of the Fourth. It seemed to be compliment tary recognition of his loyalty to the dear old flag of his native land. The ob- servance of the Sabbath, so conspicuous in their arrangements, is especially com mendable. The sentiment of the pastor is, gentlemen, come any time and, with your guns, bring also your harps and sing as you did on your first visit, when you stole march even on the birds. Miss Etta Jennings has been visiting friends in Nichols.

Teachers may detain scholars not to exceed half an hour at the close of the afternoon session, but at no other time.
 On Tuesday, Aaron B. Mallett, Elliott M. Beardsley, Samuel B. Beach, Orville s. Mallett, Stephen c. Beach and Hobart R. Wheeler were on the witness stand in the Daniels Farm road case.
 The defense practically closed and court adjourned till Friday at 10 a m.
 All Tuesdays witnesses thought the layout not matter of necessity and pre- ferred grading the old road, though a sleeper grade; as giving the harder, bet ter road. Aaron Mallett preferred grad ing hill to layout,even if it did cost more to grade. E. M. Beardsley, one of the committee to macadamize Long Hills road, said that it had greatly increased travel there. He favored good roads in any part of town and thought that the grade on Daniels Farm hill should be re- duced in some way. Samuel B. Beach, one of Trumbull's largest taxpayers, lived quarter mile above Daniels Farm hill when boy and his father owned a farm just below. No ice at top of hill if properly drained. Generations have used old road and now certain few want to saddle the town with expense and go around the hill. He valued Ste

At the close of his oration, MI Peck read this sentiment handed him by Asa Seymour Curtis of Stratford, veteran abolitionist and temperance man. Though too old to enlist in '6l, he went out with the 17th Connecticut as fifer and served through the war: Fling abroad it's folds to the cooling breeze,
 Let it float at the masthead high And gather around, all hearts resolved,
 To sustain it there or die. An emblem of peace and joy to the soul,
 Unstained let it ever be ..' And shout, as we raise it's stars aloft,

The stock market was little more ami
mated this morning. The opening dis
played some weakness. First prices were
slightly lower than those of last evening,
but the market soon became firm at
slightly better prices. The dealings. how
ever were limited. After Ia o'clock the
market became strong and material progress
was made towards higher prices in many
stocks. while the volume of business was
an improvement over that prevailing OF
late. Canada Southern advanced l1s to
59sz. and Cordage II 10 201H. Sugar
touched par against 60 it's lowest price, and
oil other active stocks showed gains OF large
fractions. Even better prices were reached
among the leaders toward delivery hour.
and at that time the market while quiet was
strong at the highest prices OF the DAY. The
close was dull but strong at the highest
figures. Total sales LOG, $50 shares.
