I ety as singers, and, like Cough, always draw full houses. The entertainments giv- en by them are of thelhighest order. A Spec
 ial train will leave Millerton ut half-past
 six in the evening and return after the con-
 cert. also after the close of the entertain
 ment a train will return as far as Norfolk.
 The fare on the trains are to be at N re
 duced rate, but exactly how much we have
 not learned. Those who have not pur-
 chased tickets of Mr. T. l.. Norton of
 Lakeyille or M. c. Jewell of this village
 bad better attend to the matter at once
 Price ot admission 50 cents, children half

 Ihe Hotsddys.-As the time approaches
 which all unite to commemorate the birth
 ot our Savior, who brought glae tidings of
 pelce and good will toall mankind, our hearts go out in affection to those we love
 and seek by gifts to manifest our contin-
 ued aDd lively interest in the day. The
 feeling has been largely manifested during
 the past week, and those of our merchants
 who Cater to it by offering choice line
 Of holiday goods are already reapng rich
 harvest. Last Saturday We took stroll
 around about smong them, or at least we
 took look at as many as the day would
 permit Al Lime Rock, Mir. French is not
 making very extraordinary effort at an
 elaborate display, but has Case well filled
 with little things" which will come very
 handy next week in chinkng in and ad- ding to the pleasures of tue season. Some
 thing else he has, and something which he
 seems desirous people should know he
 Aesps. Those little signs pl omiscuously hung
 about the store tell the story. They say {:
 Moie Sausage" We'll, sausage is good
 anyway, and about as handy to have in the
 house Christmas as anything Santa Claus
 can bring, and We fully agree with Friend | French on this question. Let us have More
 Sausage ?"
 In Falls Village we couldn't look about
 very extensively, Druggist Marble and
 Jeweer Allyn are pretty well prepared for
 the rush and will probably drive Il good
 trade but the cars are coming, away.we go
 to see how things .ook at Cornwall Bridge
 What is the matter with Kellogg & Skiff ;
 and you toe Mir. McNeil at the Furnace store. We fail to sec very much on your
 shelves labelled Christmas, Santa Claus or
 Holidays. Don't you have any Fourth of July down that way? Perhaps we were a little early on our visit and the jumping
 jacks you had ordered had not arrived: } As we said of Mr. French, there is one thing MT. McNeil has in his store, which everybody in that region is forcibly re- minded two or three times a day he has : and that is the big bell which sets by the side of the door as his customers enter. : After listening two minutes to;the musical tick of the ever industrious telegraph in the
 rear end of the building, the front door o1
 the store was opened and,-we were in
 formed there was bell there. The work
 men in the furnace near by were consciou
 of the fact. Nothing less noisy than thunde would drown the racket made by that bell
 We understand it is soon to be elevated to an eligible position on tht roof of the store. That's right; build
 cage for it and keep it on the roof. Nr D. w. Marvel doesn't Icare very mucl
 whether Christmas comes on New Years o St. Patrick's day, so long as he can keel
 the ice chopped away from his wheels alt keep them whirling. His mill is full o
 grain and he thinks it is doing more bus
 ness than any other in Western Lltchfield v if not indeed in the whole country. Kel = log and Skiff are bound to sell for cash an e no trust, sure. They seemed buisy Saturda y and we persume their cash plan will work l, At West Cornwall we find the Santa Clau 1t merchants rather better supplied wit y Christmas and sich. NIP. Cochrane ha " " laid in large stock of toys and all mar ner of holiday goods, and is we'll prepare + to meet the demand of the little folks 10 Look at his advertisement this week. < doesn't seem to tell exactly what he ha:
 but somehow it will lead us to mistrus It there is something down there, and W 0 know there is MT. Crandall, the popula
 depot agent, has repaired and fixed ove a into candy and oyster store, tbe sma le building near his residence. We told hir d tue other day that if we were in his plac 'e we should put our shoulder to the buildin \, and shove it right out to the street, but d It ter all it doesn't matter much, as peopl IS are beginning to find him out. Notwitl 'f standing it's being not SO large concern g g Stewards Broadway establishment, and W trifle back from the road, the little COZ Il room in which oysters and such a1 ], served is we'll worth the trouble of gettin n around the corner to it. Somebody hs le said that it doesn't a1acays pay to be t s a dreadful neat". Crandall thinks it does pa h to be neat, and this little store and eatin r. house is as neat ss wax, and it pays Mir. c <; to keep it 50 too. If you won't Ebe satis ,, fled with the oysters, the choice candies = nuts, preserved fruits, toys and all ths e sort O. thing in the store, go into the ne '- millinery and dress making establshmer |, presided over by..Mrs. Crandall and whic e is only few steps from the store. Sh
 has retained the services of one of tb
 best dress makers and milliners and sue 70 that could be found in New Tor :, city, and the elegant hats that arc on exhi J. bition there will fill with delight the soul ( h. every fashionable lady who sees then y Mrs c. is doing very fair and satisfaction ar business. In Canaan our perambulation
 were provokingly short on account of lii 'e tie time left us between trains. We ha at only time to see that MT. Humphrey hs it ons of the largest and most elegant assor ; ments of Holiday goods we have seen any where. A look at them is we'll worth tn ID visit to hls store.
