On Friday a small boy (name unknown)
a nephew of Mr. Joseph Lassen, was hit-

road to recovery.
One day last week, Deacon Gilbert, not'
feeling very well, left his horses which
were hitched to a mowing machine without
fastening them, and went up to the house.
They, got tired of waiting for him to come
back and started after him. Thinking the
mowing machine a useless encumbrance
they cleared themselves from it by break-
ing the pole in mo. No other damage
was done however, and the runaways
were soon captured. C. N. X.
NEW CANAAN.
On Friday evening last, Mr. Wm. E.
Ashmall, associate organist at Dr. John
Hall’s church, New York, gave his organ
recital in the Congregational church. It
is evident that the mass of New Canaan
people do not appreciate talent in this
direction, for there was but a small
though very select audience, who by their,
quiet attention evidently enjoyed the con
cert. Mr. Ashmallls a.young man nos-5
sensing talentfiof no mean degree, as was-
shown by his execution of the excellent
programme which in! presented. He;
had evidently intended that each piecef
and, if that wens-hi!" object he certainly
did show the contrmt.» .By far the finest
playing of the evening was shown in the'
Pastorale from the- opera William Tell.;
The player brought out the meaning of
the piece nicely, which. represented in:
general the sounding of the horn in the’
Alpine hills to call together ,thc various
bands of patriots who were defendingl
their country. The “Coronation March”
was from its character the most brilliant
played, and elicited applause as did scv-Z
cral of the best pieces notwithstanding
the fact that the audience recognized and
respected the place in which they‘Were. ;‘
Mrs. F. W. Lockwood, Mrs. M. 1‘?
Waterbury, Mr. P. A. Thatcher and Mr.
F. M. Hawley were the vocalists of the
occasion and gave two pleasing quartetter
while Miss Waterbury _Imd Mr. Thatcher
each presented a solo, all of which were
well received; ‘A‘rather novel feature,
was the» giving on the programme a short
biographical ‘skchlri' bf "the various coni-

pass by without praising as a good piece
of work, and Brother Kirk of the Messen-
,ger has done himselfcrcdit in this in,
stance. '.
We understand from private sources
that Mr. Ashmall is engaged daily in an-
other business, which makcs his playing
the more to be commended for certainly
his rendition of the programme was, taken
as a whole, exceptionally fine, and showed
that he must get time somewhere out of
business hours to perfect himself in his
musical performance. We predict for him
a successful future.
WESTPOR'I‘.
The ladies reconsidered their decision
to give a lawn party during August full
moon, as stated last week, and held it
Thursday evening, July 19th, in an open
lot adjourning Christ Church Parsonage.
A lovelicr night never shone, the moon,
aclear sky, and. large attendance, aiding
to make it a success. Our village band,
for whose benefit the party was given,
supplied music, and made a good impres.
lion by their performances, surprising
their best friends. The grounds were
lighted with Chinese lanterns suspended on
wires. Dancing began early and contin-
ued late. The ladies managed the affair
and supplied cake, and Banks Brothers,
ice cream. The profits. exceeded $60,
and this, despite the great crowd outside
the enclosure which would not consent to
pay the small entrance fee. But the
hand? These young men having made a
good first impression may rely on public
support if they continue doing well and
get down to the drudgery of study and
practice needed to acquire the art of good
playing. Westport wants a hand, and
seems to have the elements of it now,‘
who will not get us faras"Pop-l Goes
the Weasel,” “Hail Columbia,” and the
first half of “Yankee Doodle" and then
stop, and, if a dozen lawn parties are
needed to encourage, the profits of them
'will be ’forthCOming. ,
