 Editor of the Bee:

 MR. EDITOR That was very un- kind cut'which you gave me in your last paper. Had you taken into considera. ton my age you could not have thought had anything to do with the elopement of the New Milford typo. or any other typo. The fact is, there was so much marrying among my acquaintances last week, it affected my heart, and made me sea-sick. If ever do marry (which is not probable), l hope the groom will be more thoughtful or better informed than the one was at Williamsburg Ga school district in this townJ last week. As the blushing couple appeared to be made one the officiating clergyman, Mir. Bry- ant, asked the groom for the license. The groom, in utter astonishment, told him he would like to know what he wanted license for he was there to be joined in holy wedlock to the lady of his choice, and not to start gin mill. The clergyman then explained to him the law in the matter, and he was obliged to go four miles in the dark, alone, and then to call up our accommodating town clerk, Oliver Mitchell Esq, to get the de- sired document. Late in the night they were married, and may happy and a long married life be theirs is the wish of | your correspondent.

Through this village we have noticed and remarked upon the amount of business Tyler was doing, and lately it has been proposed to peti- ton him to put on an extra, and as the matter came to be talked up, it was found he did run an extra once or twice week, for through passengers, which followed the main road from Woodbury to Bennett's Bridge, and consequently did not come through this village May good luck attend him. He has long been a servant on this road, and all seem to remember him by their patronage.

 Rollins H. Johnson and others were tried for chicken and harness stealing last week, before Justice Canfeld, and sent to board for time at New Haven. And on last Friday the same Justice sent man by the name of Munger to jail be. cause he could not pay the fine and costs in some case he was convicted of

Mitchell Esq, starts out meat cart this week, in charge of Charles Curtis. Il will be quite treat to see the Captains genial face saround again. He has g smile for every one, young'and old, but they say his smiles are the deepest and sweetest when he is'mounted on meat cart dealing out porter-house steak to the unmarried ladies He is fine, good-na- tured fellow, but a regular woman killer, with his smiles and soft sodder. believe he is to run over to Newtown twice week, if so you Newtown peo pie will have chance to get acquainted

 III. P. Downes, our postmaster is head-over- ears with business, his partner Ed. Michell, being off enjoying the honeymoon, it leaves Downes with their two stores and postoff1ce to see to- and from the extra am0untI of goods they seem to be selling he cannot have muchstime to.attend to outside. matters unless it is after the store is closed d night. We wish him success but fear for his health, unless Mitchell returns soon. Too much work will break dowr the best constitution.
