Beckwitb, and their atioinments Ia the art are
admitted 10 be unsurpassed Tbeirrehned gen.
erous and gentlemanly bearing, add 10 the plea.
sure Of sitting as we'll as 10 the value Of their
superb pictures. We hope no friend Of ours
who may have occasion to visit Norwalk, will
fail Of making the acquaintance Of these gen.
tlemen and their fine gallery. Manufacturing
has done much for this locality. The effect
and growth Of its manufactures naturally sus.
gested what might be done for Ashtobula I'm
the same way. The massing and concentra.
tion Of capital besides paying handsome re.
turns, enhances the value Of resl estate, fur.
nisbes market for home products and pro.
notes business generally.
The felt factories Of the place give employ.
ment 10 large numbers Of mechanics and Ia
borers, and scatter money freely and extensive.
ly. They have become OF mammoth dimep.
siOns. Its cassimefe factory runs 40 looms and
turns out 10000 yards Of the best qualities of
goods per month. The presence of such es
tablishments in community can hardly ie
adequately priced.
The institution of the place however, of which
all speak, and which has a national as well a.
local reputation, is the palatal mansion of Mr..
Legrand Lockwood. Although closed to Wis.
ilors, we were permitted by the kindness Of a
relative Of the Lockwood family accompanied
by the builder and decorator, to pass through
lis labyrinth Of gorgeous apartments. We can.
not attempt detailed description of it., nor is
it called for, as such description has already
gone the rounds of the papers.
The result Of an outlay Of 81 100. 900 upon a
residence not yet finished, will afford come idea
Of its grandeur and magniicence Everything
about the place is carried out to the fullest cx.
tent OF completeness. Some of its main floors,
such as the rotundo, are various woods inlaid.
The massive doors of five inches thickness. are
composed of not less than six different kinds of
woods. Its suits of rooms are each provided
with bathing rooms, water closets &c. with
gilded faucets and mountings. In some of the
best rooms the beds are canOpied with green
and blue silks, the sides upholstered, and the
posts uniquely carved. Mirrors of door size
meet you at every turn. A billiard room, the
atrical and art gallery, are among the more
prominent things that strike the visitor. The
attractivencss of the grounds, some 40 acres in
extent is not one of the least of the establish
ment. Situated on the level of the village plat.
it holds all the advantage Of an emincnce in
its broad landscape and picturesque views, Ia
king in the line of the harbor crossed bv both
the n. H. Railroad and a carriage bridge the
mouth of the harbor studded with islands and
a long stretch Of the sound with its teeming
commerce and, the shores of Long Island -
Few Of the crowned heads of the old world,
ii is said occupy so princey an establishment.
Though given up TO creditors, we are glad
to learn that Mr.. l.. is again in possession. and
its progress toward completion is already going
on. The firm Of Lockwood & Co. somewhat
differently constructed resumed business on the
lst inst. The spotless honor of the head of the
firm, has removed all bar to favor and encour-
agement The generous, frank and noble char
acter of LIE Grand Lockwood is such that all
Who know him will rejoice to hear that he is
a. ain in the way of usefulness and prosperity.

ONLY Two HOURS TO DO WAsuING.-The
Dexter Washing Machine is great improve
ment on the defective and unsatisfactory pro-
ductions exhibited in all former machines
We invite the most critical examination Of
its construction and operation.
All that we ask is trial, and if not satisfied
you are not obliged TO keep it, 1t does not
lniure the clothes-it saves them. No slop-
ping-no boiling up clothcs-savcs soap and
time.
All are aware that washing is the most labo.
rious, and at the same time one of the most
necessary duties of housekeeping, and which
entirely devolyes upon the weaker sex to do
under the old system of washboards.
