LOTS DOING IN CORNWALL.

Attractions were numerous here- abouls last Friday evening and pub lie opinion as to which offered the most entertainment and amusement was varied, Basketball and dance drew few to Goshen. Installations of officers at the Cornwall Bridge lodge drew a few others. Edward Cartwright took his first ride on the Masonic goat in tho local lodge and of course the dutiful brethren had to remain at home to help him. Then thare was surprise dance at George Wickwire's, where they reported 35 in number and a few people really stayed at home. All of which goes to prove that all the inhabitants haven't left town yet although you would scarcely believe it some Sun day evening at church.

HAPPY RECEPTION TO REV MIR
 AND MRS BOUTWELL,.

l HAITI HE'Ei iiCtN " RFN "iN
 AND MRS BOUTWELL,.
 On Tuesday evening. January 2C,
 the parlors Of the Baptist church
 were swung wide open for a
 greeting to the pastor, Rev Alfred
 Boutwell, and his bride, the minis ter's wife" a New Years gift to Step ney. The rooms had been very taste fully trimmed and decorated with
 many ropes Of evergreen set with bouquets of blossoms, while in the center of the platform an arch of white aud gold surmounted by the oyerhanging wedding bell also In white. Much credit is due the young people who had charge of the decor ations and arrangements for the re- ception. Carlos stillson and Lester Burr were the ushers of the evening and having escorted the bride and groom to their piace beneath the bridal bell"with Dea Burr Hawley and lady on the one side and on the other Dea Charles Nichols and lady, the guests were introduced to our new friend and the smiling pastor. The Methodist people and all neigh bors mad been heartily invited to take an active part in the reception and no stranger could have detected the one from the other in any way. The handgrasp was just as cordial and the expressions of welcome into our homes and hearts just as sincere. me welcome one finds in true country home is not chilled by cold formality or rigid etiquette, but has a warmth of heart in it that is both most acceptable and pleasing, mak- ing one feel at home in its true meaning, quickly dispelling all stranger feeling. The banquet tables were loaded with the best of our mothers nandiwork and tho a host sat down to the feast, there was enough left for 8 second greeting. and while we may not have bride to honor, may these friendly union meetings be more often enjoyed. MT StillsOn who for yearshas been asuc- cessful teacher and had much ex- perience in expressing himself to the great advantage of his hearers, was called upon to say few words to the pastor and his wife, and after humoroucly speaking he told them something that they did not know, trifie odd for pastor, namely, that here was beautifulset of china dishes, 135 pieces, (for dinner for two,) and two very handsome chairs of the rocker family, as presents to them from the members of the church, and proved his assertion by producing the goods. The pastor replied (Without notes) and it is hardly fair to tell what he said, but he would not part with even one dish. We bespeak for the pastor and his wife a hearty welcome as they make their home in our village. There were present from out of town MT and Mrs King, MT and Mrs Bout well of Norwalk, Miss Hurlbnrt of Cannons and E. O. Hull of Bridge port.

SECOND SUNDAY
OF BL UE LAWS
FAIRFIELD HAS ANOTHER PuRI-
TAN sABEATH-cAusE OF
ENFORCEMENT UNKNOWN.

Fairfield, Sept. 20 Especially The
second Sunday with the enforcement
of the blue laws in Fairfield passed
quietly, with everything closed down
tightly, except the restaurants, which
opened three times during the day for
the purpose of serving meals. Not a
cigar, not dish of ice cream nor a
package Of candy was sold all day.
Every business house was closed by
midnight Saturday night Three res
taurants opened at Midnight Sunday
for the wind-up of the nights usual
trade. There were no arrests for vio-
lations at an. time during the day,
because no violations were reported.
The county officers have little to
say as to why the enforcement of the
Sunday closing laws has been com.
menced here SO suddenly. 1t is said
that the attorney general has notified
all county attorneys to enforce the
closing law, but it is generally believ-
ed here that it is due to the recent
closing in Abingdon and Batavia,
where complaints were received be.
cause of the amount of business trans.
acted on Sunday. 1t is said that the
people of these towns insister that
Fairfield should close up everything
on Sundays also.
