town is visiting his friends here. For twenty years he was engaged with MT. Seth Walton in digging ore at the Davis bed. He sold his farm and moved to Chau- tauqua Co.,, New York, about years ago.
 4 Railroad gpur-t.-spurr, down at has 30 many cars on his track all the time, that the railroad company has been spurred up to put in "spur" or dead switch or whatever they call it, for his better accommodation. Mir. Spur has leased slte for coal sheds from the Holly Manuf g Go. which will enable him to dispose of his cargoes of coal as fast as they arrive.
 Butter -glary.-A lover of butter entered Tom Norton's cellar last Saturday night and made love to 6 jar of butter standing therein. If the butter, like some we know of, had resembled the offence of Hamlet's uncle, Philobutter would have had the worst of 1t. The next time he comes he can be furnished with scoop upon appli- cation up stairs, and escape soiling his hands.
 NeW Route to NeW York.-Tickets from the Conn. Western stations to New York via. the steamboat Granite State and State of New York from Hartford, are now sold at the following stations and rates: Bloom. field, $2.oo; Tariffville, and simsbury, $2.0O; Canton, Collinsville and New Hart ford, $2.5O; Winsted, West Winsted, Nor. folk and Canaan, $500. This cannot be otherwise but a delightful trip for the summer months. Starting from Hartford at o'clock, four hours sail down the Conn. ecticut river, before it will be too dark to en. joy the scenery, is a treat worth going tha, way to get
 ~Of for Boston.-T The Chorus has gone. The Till from Salisbury, tributary to the ocean of the Jubilee trickled away last Monday morning. With the minds eye we have watched them on their winding way. We see the Professor, his baton in one hand, bottle of soothing syrup in the other, marshalling his gay and festive crew G. B. Basso, released from care indulges his natural propensity toward firt ation. H. M. Tenor relieves the tedium ol travel by old sledge" and "poker"; an6 the ladies exploring sundry pockets bring to light the nutitious gingerbread and tho savorY cheese. Joy go with these srtlesl children of song, and accompany then back to their native heath.
 lMending 1Neir Ways.-The Lakevilliani have been bestirring themselves in the di rection of side walks. A good walk, in cluding foot-bridge across Bostwicl brook, has been completed from the top o Dodge Hill to Jones' garden. Those wht have done the most in this work of i'm provement say that they have been repsit already in seeing the accommodation it af lords sundry citizens in leading horses t water and in driving COWS to pasture. I is certainly meet and proper that thes faithful servants of mankind should hay every facility afforded them "whene'e they take their walks abroad" Don't le us stop here, gentlemen; continue tn walk so that from one village to the othe there shall be good footing and in tn spring mud. good driving tor those estima ble persons who delight SO much in drivin upon the sidewalk.
 Good Flour.-Messrs. Landon 6 Go. o of Chapinville have recently received
 cargo of white wheat direct from Michigan and are grinding 1t into quality of flou which is equal or superior to anything W ever saw. The wheat is of an extraord
 nary quality or their miller, Mir. Milton J
 Rowe, has tact for making -four rarel
 possessed by miller, or their mill has
 peculiar kink in the belts which whirls Il
 wheels, or something, exactly what we al
 not prepared to say, but that the -four the
 are now making, will go ahead of all thoi
 brands which are sold under high sount
 ing name, and come from away somewher'
 nobody knows where, none can deny Ii
 they have seen it, and then they certainl
 wont. The "women folks" will kick U
 no ro,o with Miller Rowe, SO long as l
 makes for them such flour as he is no
 grinding. We have seen the -four ar
 bread made of It. and are happy that sue
 flour Is made in the town of Salisbur.
 The country can produce no better.
 Our " Locas" is 1rouNe.-The pursu
 of knowledge under difficulties is strong
 exemplified by this outburst from our "l
 cal" We know how it is ourselves:-
 MR. EDITOR PRo. TRM. I had no i'd
