lamp was 12A cents; on steamboat, 1sI cents;
on CRATE, 81 Z cents; on egg, $50. cents; on stove

that with this further tumble in the prices of
coal-very low before the sale-the rates here
are being advanced? When this monthly sale

why prices are put NJ in THE city. Ii Is a bad

the same effects as at the first Jubilee, but stronger and grander than then. The passes and tenors were in magnificent voice and sung with absolute perfection the first verse and not to be outdone by them tue sopranos and contraltos took up the second verse, and carried it through in fine style. But the great effect was in the third verse, the solo of which was snug by Mrs. Julia Houston West, who met with great success in making herself heard in the high note at the close. This with the combined effect of the cannon, &c.,, aroused the most in. tense enthusiasm of the audience, and in the midst of the most uprorious applause an encore was given.
 The programme was brought to a close by Dr. Lowell Mason's hymn Bethany- "Nearer, my God, to Thee, e,"-the audience joining in the last three stanZas. Musically considered, the first days performance may be set down as great success-and this, the more so, because it was feared by some that the immense chorus, number. ing nearly if not quite twenty thousand voices, would, by it's own magnitude, de- stroy all musical effect; that 1t would be an extremely difficult matter to hold it to- gether; and that instead of harmony there would be simply babel of sounds. Those who held such an opinion were doomed to disappointment of most agreeable nature. The excellent course of training to which the various individual societies had been subjected during the time devoted to their rehearsals, and the admirable system of mass rehearsals, had their proper bearing, and the whole body, when brought together for the first time, sung with precision that was truly maryellous.

To Our Subscribers. rs.-The first year of the publication of the NEWS will end July 9th, and all of our subscribers who sub scribed at the commencement and received the first number of the NEWS, will re- ceiye that day the last number of their first years subscription. While can vassipg for subscribers, before we com- menced the publication of our journal, We were asked by SO many of those who sub. scribed, "to stop the paper when the time was out, that we concluded to try the ex. pertinent of adopting that plan with all, instead of charging $2.50, were we not paid in advance, as many other journals do. That thls plan of stopping at the expiration of every subscription is for the interest and advantage of subscriber as well as publish CT, there Is not a question. Among the many reasons why it is to their advantage arc, firstly; a subscriber Is liable 10 forge, to renew his subscription as soon as it ex. pires, and time unconsciously passes on, and as he continues to take the paper from the post office, he is obliged to pay for it, and his bill will soon come to him, at the rate of $2.50 per year, thus paying 50 cents for the use of $2.00 for short time This is pretty steep interest to pay for the use of money. Another reason why the "stop plan is for their interest is, that if they do not choose to take the paper an. other year. they are not Obliged to write three or four times to choke the unwelcome journal off. It must be clear to all, that it is not for our interest to get oul subscribers provoked at us because We stop their paper, and we hope none will be sen sitive on that point, as we shall treat Gl alike in that matter, and in doing so are trying to do what we think is for the inter. est of all concerned. Our books are now opened for renewal of the subscriptions of our original subscribers, and all who are satisfied with our efforts thus far in making 8 newspaper to represent the interests o1 Western Litchfeld county, we shall gladly welcome with renewal of their subscrip tions before the expiration of the year July 5th, and thus have no stopping ? oi their paper.

the milk with whiskey and a stick in it, and then the berries. The usual method of gathering the berries is to spread old table cloths and sheets, clean ones preferred, under the trees, and then jar them with sledge hammer The trees are at once be- reft of their leaves, dead twigs, berries, ripe and unripe, and a healthy crop of worms, which arc all pouved into pails, carried off the mountains, by ye snuffy, picturesque berry woman, and her seven children, at 80 much per quart. These berries in their season, and fish at all times, constitute the chief articles of the mountaineers food. Here is offered another striking illustration of the truth of the theory advanced by learned physiologists, that fish food tends greatly to nourish and develop the brain, for the great intellectual qualities of our mountaineers have long been celebrated.

INvKAVAAe
 The frame of the new barn of Hon. w. w. Welch will be raised today, June lS.) It is expected to be ready for business by July 1st. The proprietor of the Norfolk House is also laying foundations for an $500. or $90O. addition to his barns. These straws show that either business is better, or that some one espects it will be some day. It is also rumored that the stone shop is about leased for term of years to prominent manufacturer of New Haven, who proposes to remove his busi- ness to this place. This is a consumation devoutly to be wished for something of the kind is the only salvation in a business point of view for Norfolk. For although our annual host of city boarders are very ornamental, one shop employing 75 to 100 mer would be worth ynore to all those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, than all the Dolly Vardens in existence.
