 Hook-A Successful Fete in Every Way.
 Despite thG threatening weather of Wednesday afternoon, the lawn party on the grounds of J. II. Warner was suc- cess. The expansive and beautiful grounds made an ideal place for such a gathering.
 In the center of the grounds triangle of Chinese lanterns was formed, which when lighted up, presented a magnificent appearance. The trees, big and little, bore Chinese lanterns from many a branch, while here and there head lights flashed forth their brilliancy. The porches on the house were also adorned with lanterns. In the rear of the grounds, the little summer house was oc- cupled us band stand, and here the Columbian band of Southbury dscoursed sweet music. While these musicians were enjoying their supper, St Johns or chestra, seated in the parlor, played sev- eral selections.
 The refreshment tables were placed near the house and were liberally patron ized. The threatened storm in the after noon greatly hindered the ladies in their arrangements, as for time it seemed as if the affair must be postponed.
 There was large number present from Newtown street, among the number be- ing Rev Mir Linsley, Proprietor Leonard of Dicks. Merchant R. IT. Beers and many others.
 With the brilliantly lighted lawn, the strains of inspiring music and the crowds of people engaged in lively conversation, 1t presented picture to the eye, not of- ten witnessed in Newtown.
 Rev Mir Wright deserves great credit for his work, and had the weather been propitious, the crowd would have been even larger. The tableauX were held in the rear of the grounds, and were ar ranged to fit in with the out door seen cry.
