EAST WALLINGFORD.-Burt J. Pow
ell, who has charge of the extensive saw
mill of Messrs. Jones, Aldrich g. Dodge,
recently received a serious injury by saw
ing off nearly two inches of one finger,
but it is probable that it will reunite with
the remaining portion of the finger, and
thus become sound.
"A few days since as III. J. Culver and
his wife were crossing the railroad track
the king bolt Of the wagon broke, throw
ing both to the ground with great vio-
lence, scattering the contents thereof in
all directions. Assistance in gathering
up the remaining portions of the load and
in re-adjusting the wagon was soon at
hand, and it was supposed the injuries
were slight, but we learn that Mr.. Culver
has been in a somewhat critical condition
since, resulting from the injury received,
but we earnestly hope he may soon entire
ly recover.
On Sunday morning last at the Bap-
list Church, Rev. j. 2. Farrar delivered a
very able and deeply impressive discourse
to his Pensioners, from Acts 4th-12th,
from which he proceeded to show the utter
impossibility and folly of attempting to
secure salvation and eternal life through
any other source than by the way of the
cross. Jesus Christ and Him crucifed
as the only name given under Heaven
among men whereby we can be saved.
as was clearly seen by all present, and
was the most able and powerful, replete
with power, reason and argument of any
to which it has been our privilege to listen
for long time, and we are of the opinion
that il our pastor would repeat it at an
early day it would we'll repay.
Butter sold in this market on Mon
day last at 80 to 80 cents, and cheese at
IL to Is cents per lb. Crops are looking
quite well, though farmers begin to fear
that the drought will be too severe for
the growth and maturity of the crops, es-
pecially grass.
The roads in THE vicinity are in q
most, deplorable condition, and we would
suggest TO the proper authority the pro-
propriety of repairing them SO that life
and property shall not be exposed at every
turn and step.
Recently as Mr.. G. Priest was riding
near this village his horse became unman-
ageable and ran away, throwing Mr..
Priest from his wagon, striking upon the
ground with such violence as to render
him miserable for time, and producing
such injuries as to prevent his attending
to his usual business for while, but he
is now, we believe, all right again.
We would inquire of those whose
business it is to know, why it is that such
an intolerable stencil il allowed in, or so
near the highway, between this village
and Bondville? 1t is almost as much as
mans life is worth, i. c. it costs nearly
that, to attempt to pass that point.
Recently we took u fly to the tanuery
situated about one mile from Cuttings
Vile, and falling in with Mr.. VIM. H
Huntoon, who, after explaining and post
ing us upon various matters finally invit-
ed us to walk to his fish pond, few steps
distant Two weeks ago, he informed us,
he built the ponds or watts, the water for
them being supplied from an adjacent
spring, and he now has four hundred fine
trout, several of which weigh each one
pound. He also informed US that he
should soon add to their number so that
one thousand trout should sport beneath
the waters of those ponds. "Will" is a
live boy and any who may doubt it will,
we opine, agree with US by just taking a
look at some of his works. CURTIS.
