A GRANGE FESTIVAL.

A bhANfE FHSIiNAL.
 The Grange held Flora's festival ii their hall on Friday night About 120 persons were present, being invited friends, filing the hall to is utmost capacity. The hall was tastefully dee- orated with flowers in every place where they could be advantageously placed. Flora's seat was on d raised platform with an arch of roses in front. Some of the youngest of the grange children, trimmed with wreaths, distributed to every one present either small bouquet or single flowers and were afterwards placed in front of Flora's seat. The ex- rrcises were opened by the lecturer briefly stating the origin and object of the festival, also the nature of grange work, followed by an address from Flora. The members of the Grange then sang ''Wayside f1owers," followed by q reel tation from Miss Flora Griffin "Weeds or Flowers,' then five ladies dressed in white, each with one letter of the sword "Flora," trimmed with flowers of col- or, came in front of the arch and reeited some verse appropriate to each, Miss Gritfin's being laurel, Mrs Beers the rose, Mrs Kellogg sweet briar, Miss Kellogg the daisy, Mrs Wild the forget me-not. Afterwards the letters were hung across the arch forming the word, ''Flora.' The song Because he joined the Grange" was sung in dialogue form, all joining in the chorus. A recitation was given by Miss Sagendorf, "Pied Piper of Hamlin,' reading by Miss Camp, "The Surprise" recitation by Miss Julia Hawlev, "rhe settlers story,'' a solo by Mrs $. E. Hawley, 'Keep pol itics off from the farm," all joining in the chorus, after which all present were well supplied with ice cream, cake, etc. The exercises closed with the song, "Sweet good night.''

flee. There are sheds for tools and carts and shanties for the workmen. Still fur. ther on is the quarry, where the stone IS got out,and an engine to hoist them on to the carts. A derrick al the works drops them into place. The old saying, "A miss is as good as mile, " was fully eA . emplified, as there WAS sn nearly ter rible accident. A number of carriages were driving slowly by the works, when wire derrick cable that crossed the road caught on carriage top. The horse, young one, commenced backing around into heap of rocks just at the end of the excavations, which at that place was at least 20 feet deep. There was moment of intense horror, one more plunge would have sent them down, but with whip and lines the horse was twisted about and got back into the road safely, to the great relief of the specta- tors, no one being near enough to help. The young gentleman took it very coolly at the time, but said when he realized his peril afterwards, it made him feel rather weak.

OUR CORRESPONDENT VISITS FAIRFIELD.
 The Danbury village on Fairfield beach is becoming quite noted. A visit there is one of the favorite carriage rides of that vicinity. A new street has been laid ouE through the Salt meadow direct to the settlement. The beach is partic- ularly fine for bathing at all times of the tide and perfectly safe for children. The clean sand makes a delightful place for bear footed babies to run and dig to their hearts content. The two story cottages are convenient and comfortable. The broad verandas afford shade and a pleasant place to sit. A fine view of the sound and passing boats is also to be had, plenty of good and wholesome water is taken from wells which have tages and drawn from thence to the kitchen with pumps. Mosquitos give little annoyance. The place is one where tired mothers may go and take what they most need, a quiet rest. We found Samuel Barnum, who is building pleasant cottage, which is nearly ready to he occupied by himself and family. Judge l.. Hopkins was spending the day at his cottage and was ready with fishing tackle and boat to spend few hours off on the rocks try ing his luck among the black fish and founders which at times are very plenti- ful. Our half hours visit at the village was made pleasant and agreeable by the Judges kind attention and his hospita- ble manner of entertainment.
 At the Congregational parsonage, Wednesday, at 10 o'clock, by Rev H. l.. Slack, Mrs Hannah Sanford and George Roe were united in marriage, both of this place.
 H. c. Judd and wife have been out of town spending a few days at Maple cottage, Jennings Woods, Fairfield and vicinity.

A LIVELY BALL GAME.

An interesting ball game was played, last week Friday, between the Brook field Social club and the Y. NJ. C.. As. of New Milford. The battery for New Milford were Way and Fuller, and for Brookfield c. Burdick and T. Boomer. A special feature of the game was the fielding done by O'Donnen, Vroman and Travis of the Brookfield's. The fielding by the New Milford boys was also above reproach. It was we'll played game on both sides, the batting on both sides being often very heavy. Two or three long hits were caught very gracefully by D. Burdick of the Brookfield's, and also by Planz of New Milford. The game was npired to perfection by John Waburton. The score stood 10 to F in favor of the New Miiford's. The score should have been l2 to 12 at the end of the last running. E.
