 MT. R. K. Hunt has lately built new fence in front of his residence which adds very much, to it's general appearance. Mr. H. hasimprovedSh his house of late quite ex tensiyely.

 W1NsTRD. Maggie Kilbourn, young woman who formerly taught school in West Winsted, and more recently in Hartford, died a short time since while on a visit to that city, and her remains were brought to Pleasant Valley for burial. At the funeral. which took place, last Thursday, one Lyman W. Case appeared and declared that he was her lawful husband, affirming that he had been married to her, nearly three years. His statement causes much surprise and remark in Winsted, where Miss KiIbourn was well known and we'll regarded. .--H Heratd
 R1vERToN.- The Rev. NIT. Potter the revivalist" has been here. He engaged to speak twice day for a week, but for some reason best known to himself he sud- denly terminated his engagement after three days labor. He was greatly incensed because all places of business were not closed during the hours of meeting, and he abused in his characteristic manner every body who could not be cajoled to carry out his views in this respect. He further en- tertained his audience with vigorous elu cidation of the doctrine of total depravity, and proved that of eternal damnation with out doubt. He informed his audience that "multitudes who throng the ante courts of hell hailed from Riverton," and that '' a majority who lived here had sea- son tickets to the same place" He fre- quently ordered "division of the house, presuming thereby to frighten the chick hearted into some recognition of his pro gramme. Had some intinerant Adventist or Mormon done this thing, some sensible people would have said stHumbug!"
