are too busy to manufacture the article, and nothing new can be said about the weather, and in community so careful, honest, and peaceable as this, there can be but few accidents, crimes or quarrels to chronicle Such little scrimmage as oc cured in West Cornwall last Saturday |P. M, would hardly form an exception to the general rule; wherein g female Fenian attacked citizen from neighboring town, with great violence, and without much re- gard to the rules in vogue in the prize ring, and to the damage of the covering of the face of the party attacked, as we'll as of her own hair, and to the amusement of the passers by. But such things will hap pen everywhere when people yield to the impulses of appetite and passion.
 Property in several instances has changed ownership in West Cornwall this Spring MT. Haller has bought the Weth- eral place, and is fitting it up for nice little home. MT. Peck has bought the house near the wagon shop, and is prepar- ing to improve and repair the same. Mr. Brewster is preparing the foundation of a new house on Cream Hill, and people near the meeting house are about making the long-needed renovation in that vicinity, and altogether it is quite busy spring in this line.
 Farmers are commencing farm work earlier than usual. Grass and winter grain is looking nice, and the prospect for abun- dant crops is encouraging.
 GOSHEN, Conn.,, April 20, 1S67 MR. EDIroR:-Now the din and excite ment of election are over, l presume on room in your paper for a little local talk. With us all branches of business arc more lively, especially on the farm and in the dairy New milch COWS and stools (not pi- ano stools) are getting to be quite plenty, and the prospect is that butter and cheese will still continue to be made, and the pro- ducts of the earth to grow-a Democratic Governor notwithstanding. Those who have taken look into Hart Brothers store room, any time during the past winter, will be surprised to learn that room at last has been found ill market for those many hun dreds of cheeses, awaiting time to go out on the wide world, for Goshen cheeses were not all made to blush annette, and be eaten up on Goshen hills. Brooks Brothers en- larged their store the past year, and both l ''business checsists" are now ready for the spring trade in that article They talk fa- vorably about cheese starting at 8 fair price, but nothing definite can be known as yet. Butter stands on it: own merits: The pri- ces range from 25 to 30 cents
 Crandal & Weeks are fast ingra- tiating themselves into public favor by the sure process of quick sales and small profits. The three merchants have each increased their number of clerks, and judging from the tons of new goods weekly brought into town, "good time coming" is expected by them.
 Snow-drifts have entirely disappeared, and wood-piles nearly so. Chopping feet has been quite in vogue this spring Mo- 1 of the unfortunates was an lrishman. He dropped his axe and hobbled into the house, exclaiming: "And sure I've disthroyed mesef entirely" On removing his boot, the largest cut was found to be in that Mr. Frank l.. nearly severed four of his toes, but by an adhesive process known to our skillful doctor, three of them were made to grow on again. Mr. Francis E. Wadhams cut an ugly gash on the side of his foot, opening an artery. Both of the last named individuals were out at church last Sabbath, on their crutches, setting an example wor- thy the imitation of some others, who oc- casionally have Sunday sickness, and con- sequently patronize the home mission.
 Mir. Francis Wadhams, who is somewhat of Nimrod when we'll, started out on his crutches a few days since, for little pas time in hunting and fishing He shot a rabbit and speared two pickerel. Can any cripple beat that? CITIZEN.
