 Church pays s35 for his pew, says the American. We doubt whether any other
 minister, even Beecher, would be willing
 to give four yankee shillings, every Sun l day, to hear himself preach. ' --- l NEW MILFORD is proposing to grade it's
 Main St. The Improvement Society has
 raised 8, ,648 and subscription for 8, 900 1 more is being taken up which will be sui
 ficient it is thought to carry out the plan
 of improvement. Says the Journal:
 It is proposed, according to the plan 1 furnished, to grade the whole of Main street, filling in the ditch which is in the | centre of the street, and in place of the l ditch to put drain large enough to carry | of all the water which may come from | the adjacent streets and hills It is also l proposed to turnpike the roadways, with
 narrow ditches each side, leading to the
 large drain. The crossing, from one side l of the street to the other. in front of the l New England House, will be farther 1 north, near where the flagstaff at pres l ent stands. On each side of this cross 1 ing there will be a number of hitching posts, sufficient to accommodate all who l wish to use them. Near these hitching
 posts will be a watering trough. Farther l up the street, near the Congregational church, will be some more hitching posts l and another watering trough. Through
 the liberality of former resident of this | village, a handsome fountain will be plac- l ed on the street, and the water for this, l as well as for the watering troughs, will, we understand, be generously furnished by one of our prominent citizens. The Methodist church came near go-
 ing up in a blaze of glory Sunday be- fore last. As the sexton was turning
 down the lights after church chandelier
 fell, breaking half dozen lamps, and set ting every thing ablaze. With outside
 help the sexton succeeded in extinguish- ing the flames A correspondent of the Salisburs News gives the following ac- count of the opening of the District Court: Our District Court, the first two days
 of it's sitting, attracted about as much at. | tention as q small circus.f It furnishes
 our men of leisure a:go0d place in which to kill time, thus keeping them out of 1 the way while their meals are being cooked
 at home. It would seem to an outsider7that
 in the cases thus far tried, there was little
 really at stake, yet the lawyers evidently
 feel responsibility, and the ground is
 contested inch by inch as though the fate
 of the nation hung in the balance, but lawyers are human and work by the day
 and evidently like Sweetness long drawn
