HUSTLING AT FLYNN & DOYLES.
 It has not seemed like dull times ut Flynn & Doyle's carriage manufactor P, as right through the winter and spring they have kept their full force busy. A representative of THE BEE looked in at their big carriage repository in the spring and found it packed full. He chanced to wis it the establishment the other day and found the repository not half full, which shows goods have moved. The firm calculate and do keep abreast with the latest styles, and when it comes to prices they have the faculties for manu- featuring goods at reasonable prices. Genial Charles Flynn. of the firm, does not lose any of his ability to sell wagons, as the years go on, and his customers are pleased to come second time. Then there is his partner, the popular and jolly MT Doyle. He is always cheerful, and can be seen almost any day hustling along the work. Many of the firm en- ployes have been with them for a long time. which speaks we'll for their treat ment. Just now they are handling a good many of the Milburn farm wagons.

TOO MANY IDLE GOssIps

In recent letter an allusion as to the matrimonial intentions of our respected neighbor and friend, Edward Cowles, and Miss Cora Isbell, was made. On ac count of the disparity of the ages of the parties, annoying remarks have been made. We now learn on the best author itY that the ru.nor is false in every par ticular, foolish attempt at very stu pid joke, if nothing worse. There are some idle gossips in every community who think it smart thing to impose up- on correspondents such false and annoy ing reports. If they had any sense, they would know more.

ROUND JUDD's BRIDGE.

Mrs E. Finer met with serious acci- dent, last Thursday. Her baby was in its carriage in the yard. A 1Gtion of the baby started it. Mrs Zeiner who was in the house, seeing the danger the baby was in, started on run to rescue it, but caught her foot and fell to the ground. Her arm struck so as to break it near the wrist. The carriage struck small tree, turning it over and throwing the baby to the ground without doing any damage. If the carriage had not struck the tree it would have gone over a steep bank about 10 or 12 feet high, in which case the baby would probably have sustained fatal in- juries.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS CONVENE.
 The Sunday school conference alluded to in the notes of last week, was an abun- dant success, both in attendance and speakers. The day was most suspicious. The church we'll filled, and 175, includ- ing children, partook of bountiful col lation. The presiding officer was Rev F. A. Johnson of New Milford. The devo- tional services at the opening were con- daeted by Rev Mir Luddington of North vile, who read as the keynote of the meeting the Lords prayer and the 17th chapter of John. The conversational, home department, was led by George Landon of Plymouth. How to make the Sunday school more effective, first in promoting the properl observance of the Sabbath, was ably presented by Rev II. $. Still of New Milford. Second, in pro- noting the temperance cause, by Rev MT Luddington, in place of Rev Mir Wright of Kent, who was absent. The after noon exercises were opened by the pas tor of the church, MT Gardner, after which Mir Vaughn, the new pastor at Roxbury, spoke on the theme, ssThe en- couragement of the Sunday school teach er." He noted six things as source of encouragement. 'sAll can read well,' which was not the case in the school in which he was brought up. We have 3 system of study.o We have abundant helps" We have perfect freedom ? The teacher may have more sue cess than the minister. The teacher is ready for the ripest results. What may the super intendent expect of the school was ably presented by c. B. Marsh of New Mil ford. What may the Sunday school ex- pect of the superintendent by Mr Lang. don of Plymouth. The supreme aim of the Sunday school in well prepared pa- per by Dea Henry Ives of New Milford. The closing address was by the presiding officer. It was the most noted gathering since the Y. F. s. c.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CARTER HOUSE.
 The many friends of Mrs H. w. Brown will be gratified to learn that she is to conduct the Carter house at Lake side. Extensive improvements have been made in this house, this spring, and everything is in apple pie order. For a long time Mrs Brown has had an ice cream parlor at the village, but this is to be moved to Lakeside, and doubtless the summer visitors will appreciate it.. Mrs Brown will also have the Soule cot tage. With her well-known reputation as an entertainer, 1t is safe to say the Carter house, under her capable manage ment, will be generously patronized. The Carter house will especially cater to 1 the transient public. It is safe to say under her management the Carter house will lose none of it's former prestige. AN EMBARRASSING MARKETMAN l This village has as complete market | as the county possesses, it's proprietor being J. 5. Stillson, populalry known as "Joe.n Mir Stillson came to New Pres ton in February, 1888, just before the blizzard. He keeps the best class of | meats, and his prices are reasonable. His market contains the fruits in their season, and the earliest of vegetables can always be found on his shelves. l During the season MT Stillson does an extensive business in skins, buying from hunters and trappers for miles around He also dips in some in the cattle busi. ness. Mir Stillson is native of Bethle. hem, and still has farm in that town l Last week was decidedly summer week here in weather and sunshine I Grass grew fast toward maturity. There ! is report that notwithstanding the long, wet spell we experienced in May that on account of the dryness of the ground previous, the grass crop will bt I light on many meadows, especially those not, recently, restocked. We shall soor expect to hear the whiz of the moving machine and hear the rustic of the new mown hay again as it is moved in barr and stack. Some tobacco is being sci out, but on the majority of farms smaller piece than last year. Farmers have by no means forgotten the low prices of last winter or the rather pool season of last year for the growth of aI extra fine quality of the weed.
 Commencing last Friday, force o1 men under the direction of M. & W. As pinwall, began to lay out concrete walks about Mai Walker Bnrnhan's new resi- ] dence and make extensions for Dea D Burnham's walks.
