AS we ride around the tOWn' we ho"ce' hol- withstanding the hard times, many signs of ma teral prosperity, some of which we note down for the benefit of whom it may concern. The Messrs. S. w. & T. S. Gold are building very large barn, which is to be arranged with all the modern improvements. for the making of ma nures; for the storing of roots hay and grain. and for the comfort and protection of stock &c. Those who wish to take lesson in barnology will do we'll to call and look at this model of it's class T. B. Bosworth is architect and builder and those who wish scientific barns built will find in Mr R. the man who knows how to do it. B. P Johnson is erecting a large new house on the premises formerly owned and occupied by David Miner, near the center of the town. It is wall advanced towards completion. and bids fair to he a convenient and we'll arranged dwelling. The work on and proportions of the building reflect much credit upon Mr. A. F. Palmer the architect and builder.
 J. T. Andrew Esq. has recently purchased house and lot on Maine street. in the village of South Cornwall and is occupying the same. The house is being nverhannd. repaired and arranged in modern style. and in accordance with the we'll known judgeraent and taste of its occupant Those persons who want longer wool sheep. and blackcr haired oxen than they can get elsewhere are advised to call on MT.

 The recent news from the seat of war was re- ceived here with great satisfaction, and is full of hope for the future. Several new volunteers from this town. have during the past week. en listed for the war. and gone to the place of ren, dezvous this making about forty four hers who arc in active military duty, in behalf of their country's rights and liberties. If all the towns in the State will do as we'll as this according to population, the regiments called for will soon be ! full.
 The people of this town view with much satis- faction the energy manifested by the government in arresting traitors and in stopping the circula ton of reasonable publications. Especially dc they rejoice at the ignominious end of the Bridge port Farmer. It ought to have got its quietss long ago by the strong arm of the law.

Among which were half dozen fine cheese. hams. dried beef, good home made bread and other things that no doubt, will be highly relishcd by ths hearty fellows.
