RusrIc With the township of New
Milford CT. is sandy plain, called, on
account Gifts barreness, by the express
i've anne Of Pinch Back plain. Through
the plain runs small stream, and on
this stream one Solomon Hill had erected
a mill for grinding corn. But by one Of
those unlucky chances by which The best
human calculations are disappointed, the
fai,hless stream changed its course, SO
4 that poor Solomon's mill was left mere
than mile from any water. The cir

some hoe. handle wit to display his humor
md at the same time give the world =
specimen Of. his talent at poet-,cry The
following was found written with chalk
over the mill door:

On Pinch Back sandy plain.

THE OLDEST EsTABL1sHMENr IN AMERICA!

ieE.sf THE Canton Tea Company has
NE many years This Is the largest
gksMaasa - and oldest Tea Establishment in
America. The public have had full proof Of
their integrity and responsibility. But such
has been the great and pressing demand for
their Teas of late, that they have been obliged
to enlarge, to a great extent, their two princi.
pal establishments in New York,viz:
l25 CHATHAM II 1853 GREEWICH ST.
They moreover possess facilities, in relation TO
the Tea Trade, in very abundant degree. and
doubtless superior to any Tea Concern in A.
merica. Their scrupulous regard TO all prin.
ciples that tend 10 elevate the character OF a
large house. Is wei! understood, and has al
ready secured them a connection, probably.
larger than all other Tea Establishments uni.
ted, and they are consequently determined 10
sell Teas purer, more fragrant and perfect for
the prices, in the aggregate than any house in
the world-Chlna excepted. IrA.
They most zealously invite the attention Of
the inhabitants Of Wolcoityille. to their Agen.
cy. where the following assortments are always
on hand, and they iee no hesitation in stating
that wherever single trial is made, a very
great preference will be given 10 the celebrated
