EAST WALLINGFORD.-- During the past
week Prof. Andrus troupe gave two very
interesting entertainments in this village.
We understand they will now visit
various towns in the State, and during
the winter will appear at the Opera
Hall Rutland. Indeed it was Mr.. An
drus intention to have appeared there i'm
mediately, but that the Hall was engaged.
Rev. J. P. Farrar, occupied the pull
pit at the Baptist Church last Sunday, for
the first time since his recovery from
very serious illness. He preached very
able effective and pointed discourse, from
the 1.t clause of Jec. 8 %.
The market this week was quite &C.
tive. Butter brought So to 40 cts, ana
cheese 10 to 10 cts per 10. Potatoes
brought so to 60 cts. per bushel.
AT the date of our last letter there
were large number of severe cases, prin-
cipally of fevers, in this vicinity, bat we
are now able to state, that all have either
recovered, or are convalescent.
The late rain is gladdening the hearts
of all, and leading to the opinion that this
may soon be followed by still more, TINS
enabling manufacturers to avail them
selves of the numerous water powers,
which have for so long bcen comparative
ly idlo.
We would assure all in want of Fall
and Winter goods in the Millinery line,
that the shop in the West end of the
Hotel, has been replenished with a new
arrival from the New York Market, and
they will be sol d at lower figures than has
ever been known iu this section, not ex-
cepting Rutland. CURTIS.
