 found at the Post office in this village,
 Grant 6 Sweets, Lakeville, and F. C.
 French's Lime Rock.
 CAas. Humes-Offers for sale in another
 column his homestead in Chapinville. This

 ant village residence, and we think he will
 not be long in finding purchaser. Read
 his advertisement.
 Neao SaostcA.-A permanent switch for
 the station in this village is being built. It

 west side of the main track, commencing
 at place on the road east of MT. c. H.

 the old stand. MT. Allen will move out of

 Tub Race.-A tub race created consider
 able excitement in North Egremont on the
 Winchael Pond last Saturday. There
 were seven entries, each man provided
 himself with half hogshead tub, and two
 oars about the size and length of shingle.
 The tubs measured 2 l-2 feet in diameter;
 and the distance sailed was 80 rods. The prizes were S15, $lO, and $500. No one
 was ducked, but all passed off well.
 Sudbury Ca0es. Last week Thursday, visited these interesting caves, and quite a large number of them ''caved in and explored those subteranean vaults. A tour
 through them, and an examination of the
 peculiar limestone formations, is well worth the time and effort to do it. The next day (Friday,) party of 80 from Canaan made them visit.
 Hay Scages.-Who will erect set of
 "Hay Scales" in this village? Very soon
 our winter supply of coal will be coming in, and it will be very inconvenient to
 carry every load to- the ore bed scales to
 be weighed, beside it is a great annoyance
 to MT. Perkins at the office there, to be constantly weighing for others. A set of these scales in this village, will pay large interest on the money invested in them. , Lig1tn5ng. During the thunder shower last Wednesday loren oon, the lightning
 struck bush near the house of Simon Dewitt, on the mountain east of this village, and dodged in the open door of the house and knocking q little daughter II years old , down, hopped around and over the stove
 pretty lively, breaking it more or less in { pieces. The girl was completely paralized,
 but it is thought not so severely injured , but that she will recover.

CThe Milo Smith place,) to raise money to g pay the debt of the Union church in that town. The summer visitors have done all l in their power to make the enterprise suc-
 cess, but it is to be presumed that the rain y entirely prevented the successful carrying e out of their programme,
 8 Mr. CharJes C. Barton.-Who has been s visiting at his fathers iE this town for sev. l eral weeks. has left here and gone to Great n Burlington, Mass, where he is to take ! charge of the High school in that place. : He was graduated at Trinity college in the g class of 69 with honors, and has the repu. t tation of being Q superior scholar and pop. /; ular teacher. The friends of enducation e in that vicinity may congratulate themsel yes in securing his services.
 t Rad Laying.-It is thought by those 8 who ought to be able to give correct t idea of the matter, that the construc. ! ton train on the Conn. Western, laying e rails between East Canaan and Norfolk, T will meet the train coming east from Win. sted, on the "Green" in Norfolk, week from tomorrow (Saturday.) If ''straws 7 tell which way the wind blows," it is plainly e evident that the signs of the times indicate e celebration over the event, such as is : rarely indulged in by the good people ot that staid old town.
 5 Our Depot.-We learned last Tuesday from the new Superintendent of the Conn.
 Western; w. F. Brinsmade Esq, that our
 Salisbury Passenger depot will be located on the west side of the track, at about where the stone wall now is that runs to , the railroad from the barn of MT. Geo 5 Peet, just south of the Congregational , church, or in other words it will be almost directly east of that church. The freight D the track, and about 500 feet north of the
 Passenger depot.

 or four weeks, been filling the pulpit oi a Dr. Reid in the Congregational church 1T e this village, returned to his home in Al :, bany last Monday. Dr. Haley is preach |, CT of rare talent and ability, and his shor . stay among us has been one of much pleas ure as we'll as profit to those who have list ened to his able discourses. This brief res if for Dr. Reid, we hope will be of much bene a fit to him, and next sabbath his people vii ,- gladly welcome him again to the desE
 which he has for so many years occupied.
