IMPROVEMENTS ON BERLIN STREET-Prob-
ably on no street in this village is there Just
now such general brushing up, improve
ment and building as on the street just over
the river in Berlin-and we might perhaps
as well add, street that so much needed
such improvements, and none where they
would show to better advantage. To emu
merate : Mr.. j. w. Smith has built an adj
dition to his rear buildings; E. Scribner has
nearly completed the repairs and painting Of
the old Campbell house, and is now grading,
improving and fencing the grounds near by
Mr. A. Bancroft has finished up and painted
his house just beyond, graded and enclosed
his grounds with tasty fence, and made his
residence one of the most attractive on the
I 49,. Just beyond him, Mr.. j. c. Salina
and filed and fenced his yard in fine shsJb5tet'
and still further up the street. Messrs. Leon
ard and Warren Lawrence have added a Jet
and pediment to their house, newly painted
it, and materially improved their grounds,
and the walk in front thereof On the street
to be opened just above the one on the
river, Mr.. d. Scribner has the frame of
new house already up and covered, and is
driving ahead to make that street accessible
and desirable to those wishing a residence
above high water mark. There may be still
other improvements on that side that we
have failed to notice, and we can only hope
property-owners there will not weary in
well-doing. The highway sadly needs rails
ing and repairing, and we understand the Sc
lectmen Of the town are just ready to do
their duty in that matter. and make the
road paasable and suitable for travel, at all
times.
DECORATION DAY AT NoRTHFIELD.-W
learn that arrangements have been made by
the citizens of Mortified for the due observ-
ance of the ceremony of decorating with
flowers, on Monday next, the graves of the
Union soldiers of that place who fell in the
recent war TO put down rebellion. We trust
every town in this section, in which rest the
remains Of those who gave their lives that
the Republic might live, will take immedi- |
ate measures to in some manner show re- /
spect to these martyr heroes. 1t would be
impossible, and indeed not in the best taste,
in all towns to have imposing ceremonies and |
ostentatious displays; but simple acts of re-
spect and kindly remembrance are always
fitting, and Oftimes more fully show our love
and ven6fatiOn for those we would honor
Strew flowers above these soldiers Iowly
resting places, chant sweet and plaintive
hymns, and utter low, fervent prayers in the
and yards, where, life's fercef
battle DER, all that is mortal of those who ,
ought and died for US now reposes. I

NEW STORE IN BARRE.-L- NJ. Averill has
Just opened, in the store formerly occupied
by Jackson & Colby, a fine stock of Teas,
Sugar, Spices, Flour, Nails, and all goods
usually kept in general grocery business
His motto Is small profits, the best of goods
and quick sales. People in Barre and vicin-
ity should call and see if he lives up to his
motto.

O'Clock instead Of O'Clock as heretofore.
