THE LAND OF THE CELEsTIALs,

The Chinese call their country the ce- lestial, or heavenly kingdom. This name undoubtedly comes from strong feeling of pride in their native land; and for many reasons they have just cause to be proud. In the first place, Chinese civili- zation is the oldest on the face of the globe-nobody can tell it's age; the great wall of China, 1900 miles in length, was built to defend the country against the Tartars 200 years before the Christ-child was born in the manager at Bethlehem. The Chinese are an ingenious folk; they invented gunpowder and the mariners compass and have understood the art of printing and paper making for ages. More about this interesting people will be told at the monthly missionary meet. ing in the Congregational church, Sun. day evening, July P, at 7.30 o'clock
 Much study will be given to the prepara | tion of the service, that it may interest | and profit all. A most hearty invitation is extended for this meeting.

A CHICKEN THIEF CAPTURED.

Judd Brothers lost about 20 valuable little chickens in two nights. Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock they heard 8 great noise among the hens. They got out of bed pretty lively and with lanterns and gun went out and found a very large skunk trapped in one of their coops. He had crawled through the wire netting and got in but could not get out. He was dispatched with good will. Their sleep was not disturbed again that night. The neighborhood was pretty well disinfec- ted.

Talk of the Town.
PICTURESQUE VIEWPOINT.
ONE OF THE DELIGHTFUL DRIVES.

That old Newtown is beautifully situ- ated among the hills is brought to mind very forcibly each summer, as the large number of summer guests arrive at our hotels and farmers dwellings. Perhaps one of the most pleasant features and drawing powers of this increasingly pop ular summer resort are the many beau tiful drives with which it is surrounded
 We who have spent our lives among Newtown hills become so accustomed to looking away in the distance and behold ing spread out before us waving mead ows and pasture lands, dotted here and there with the cluster of farm buildings, wooded hillsides at whose base runs the winding and ever changing brooklet that lends the picturesque to the scene, the broad river running close at hand, and the calm serene lake nestled in among the hills, that we forget to exelaim how beautiful until our city friends come to see us and awaken in us the memory of the time when we, too, first gazed on these beautiful scenes which the good God has spread out for our enjoyment.
 One of the first drives that nine people out of 10 are advised to take when they come to town is the one over Taunton hill and around Taunton lake. Leaving Newtown's elm bordered street by thG road running west and by the Congrega tional church, the climb of old Taunton hill is first to engage attention. It is mol so very steep, winding along the hillside as it does by a gradual ascent. At itt top we pause to look back over beauti ful piece of scenery. Newtown Street close at hand, looks very fine hid away among the elms these summer days, and stretching out in every direction the view cannot fail to please the eye.
 Then there is the castle, whose propri etor, MT Ronalds, has said that he has searched high and low for bit of seen, cry that coald excel the view from this hill top, and failed to find anything that was as pleasing to him. Continuing or over the hill, Taunton Lake soon arrests attention; beautiful little lake mile in length, with shady roadway running along it's west side. The last half of the drive is not without interest, for iron many a point as we are returning home over Mt Pleasant the view is grand. On ly the prominent features of the drive have been pointed out but it is doubtful if In all this section of country there is { short drive that can begin to compare ir variety with this short trip around Taun ton lake.

BETHEL
BETHELITEs CRAZY OVER

BETHELITEs CRAZY OVER BASEBALL.
 The Bethel Eagle says that Bethel has gone mad over baseball. We think they have gone crazy. There was game of ball played in Plumtrees, last Saturday, which lasted until after 10 o'clock in the evening. The game was closed up with a concert which was distinctly heard in the borough.
 The Town Club took possession, Mon- day afternoon, of part of Dr Barber's meadow for game of baseball with the Eureka club. The interest in the game by the spectators was great. Little boys shouted. The big ones made all the noise they could. If they were not crazy or mad they were certainly very noisy, to say the least. Quite number of ladies were present. Seats sold for five cents sitting. The game terminated in favor of the town club; score b to 10. The location of the ground is handy to the new club room and has plenty of room for spectators, who will probably enjoy a good many interesting games before cold weather ends the season for playing
